This Finnish band, whose singer has a habit of wearing crows' feathers in his hair, first found fame with 'In The Shadows'. Name them.
    The Rasmus. The Rasmus were infamously bottled off the stage at the Reading Festival in 2004, after only two songs.

    46 + 2. The complete lyric is: 'My shadow Change is coming through my shadow My shadow's shedding skin I've been picking my scabs again'.

    I Am (All Of Me) (His World, This Machine, Live & Learn). 'This Machine' is actually the theme for Team Dark in 'Sonic Heroes', the team featuring Shadow. 'His World' is from 'Sonic The Hedgehog 2006', while 'Live & Learn' is from 'Sonic Adventure'.
