I've kind of dropped the ball here with updates and such...for various reasons. I might keep this year and off-year....on not, let's see how things pan out. Be that as it may:<br />
<br />
Sonata Arctica did a very successful Winter Chapter Tour in Finland, we also played at the 70.000 tons of metal for the second time and it was just as awesome if not even more so than last time. We will head back out during the summer, June-August to play the festival circuit before entering the studio for our next album. The year 2019 will then be spent more or less on the road again.<br />
<br />
Mental Care Foundation is performing at the Pääsiäisjamit in Kokkola, on the 31.3.2018. We're also making another album as we speak...so stay tuned for some more screaming !!<br />
<br />
I'm still waiting for news about when the next Winterborn album will be out, I played a lot of keys on that one and as far as I know, everything should be more or less ready.<br />
<br />
Silent Voices is making new music and we're also starting to record the next Klingenberg Syndrome album so there will be plenty of more stuff out there within the near future. Some other projects are also under way but more about those later.<br />
<br />
Whether or not I will resume writing this blog remains to be seen (omg that sounds so fucking dramatic)...anyways, atm I have trouble finding the time to do this , if it changes I'll be back. It's been a lot of fun however.<br />
<br />
cheers & beers & all good stuff,<br />
see you on the road,<br />

Turku-Stockholm-Turku Rock the Boat<div class="p1">
Our last show this year was yet another cruise, the northern trio of me, Tommy & Tony spent the day traveling to Turku by train, we arrived at night and got some kebab before heading to the hotel and get some sleep. We had to get up really early in the morning and board the ship, however we got to go straight to bed and sleep some more which was nice. On the showday we did some tax free shopping, soundcheck and the usual stuff and around 2300 we hit the stage. This was the last time we played The 9th Hour World Tour set, in January we’ll change it around and add the Caleb-saga to the setlist as well as some other stuff. Anyways, after our show we had a couple but had to end the night quite early since there was an early wake-up call to get off the boat and the next day was spent in the train again. We did however manage to get back home, safe & sound…..no more shows this year ;-(</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
—</div>
<div class="p1">
…and that pretty much wraps up the year 2017 as well as The Ninth Hour World Tour, we did over 130 shows in 13 months in North & South America and Europe. We got to go to Israel and Honduras for the first time ever which was great. As far as touring with Sonata goes: In January we’ll do a special tour in Finland as well as the 70.000 tons of Metal Cruise. The rest of the spring is devoted to new music and we’ll of course play some festivals in the summer and then resume work on the next album in the fall.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Silent Voices will release a live album from the Darkest Night European Tour, check it out here: silentvoices.net</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Sv is also preparing material for our 5th studio album. Mental Care Foundation will be back with a 3rd album….and we’re laying down tracks for KS3 which will once again be quite different from the previous one. I think at least some of these records will be out in 2018 but we’ll see how things pan out.</div>
<div class="p2">

The last two trips for this year were upon us, the first one comes here:</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
6.9. Israel & 9.9. Radio Rock Cruise</div>
<div class="p1">
On Tuesday the 5th we got up really early and flew to Helsinki at 0535, from there we continued to Tel Aviv via Moscow….and that basically took us the whole day. We arrived late in the evening and headed for the hotel to get some sleep. The next day was a showday, the show at the Havanna Club or was it Club Havanna? was sold out…</div>
<div class="p1">
the day before one of our cases went missing, it was however found in Moscow and we were promised that it would arrive in time for the show….we’ll of course it didn’t (cheers Aeroflot ;-) ) We did however manage to borrow some in-ear monitors and were able to do the show. The next day we were the true tourists and went on a sight-seeing trip to Jerusalem and the Dead Sea. Some of the stuff was really boring and some stuff was interesting…the hightlight was however floating in the Dead Sea so that pretty much made the whole day worth it. On Friday we flew to Helsinki, once again via Moscow.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Saturday morning was spent at myrskytattoo in Helsinki and in the afternoon we boarded the boat for the Radio Rock Cruise. Our show was in the evening between Lost Society and Children of Bodom. Had a rather good time and didn’t even get a hangover ;-) …After coming back to Helsinki on Sunday, we flew home in the evening or actually late at night.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
One more show this year….and in 2018 we’ll shuffle the setlist around…finally ;-)</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>

Our 2nd month of summer shows was mostly outside of Finland. In September we only have a show in Israel and the Radio Rock Cruise so I’ll let you know about them later when I do my fall update that covers everything…or at least most of a lot of things that’s been going on…we’ll see about that later.Be that as it may:</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
4.8. & 5.8. Wacken Open Air, Germany & Skogsröjet, Sweden.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
We started the month with the biggest and greatest heavy metal festival, Wacken Open</div>
<div class="p1">
Air.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>As usual we flew to Helsinki the night before, this time we had to go to Oulu (around1,5 hours by car) to get a reasonable flight, spent the night at the hotel and got going towards Hamburg in the morning. Nothing new here, and nothing to see either ;-)</div>
<div class="p1">
Our slot was a nice afternoon thing on one of the main stages, which of course was nice. The time at the festival was quite restricted for us because we had a 0445 lobby call in the morning to fly to Sweden, nevertheless we met a lot of familiar faces, did our show and a signing session and then we were on our way back to the hotel. In the evening we had dinner and tried out the hotel sauna as well.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
The next morning was of course horrible, as you can imagine. We did however drag our bones to the flight, and upon arrival in Stockholm it was time for a 2 hour van ride to our hotel. Luckily we had the whole day to rest and in the evening we left for the festival. I was told that the Röjmyre village where the festival is held, only has around 800 people of which half were working as volunteers on the festival….which also was essential for the survival of the village. I guess you learn something every day. Our backstage was in a small school and the whole festival had this homegrown-feel to it. Which was nice and everything worked smoothly so no complaints here. We had a short signing session and a late night slot at 0100, the last band at the festival if I understood everything correctly. The next day it was once again an early start, vanride to the airport, changeover in Helsinki and then in Oulu we jumped in the car and drove home.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
12.8. Runnirock, Finland</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Our next stop was a quick deal in Iisalmi, just around 4 hours by train from where we live. In the afternoon Tommy & I got on the train, arrived at around 2100 in the evening, walked to the hotel (which was a really nice one and booked only for the bands & festival staff for that weekend). Had some dinner, went to the festival and did the show, this time it was around 0000, then back to the hotel, evening/night-snack and the hit the bed. At 0900 our train back home left and in the afternoon we were back at home. This was probably the fastest festival for us this summer. BTW, for those of you who haven’t</div>
<div class="p1">
discovered or been exposed to the wonders of setlist.fm , this summer we’ve been playing pretty much the same songs that we had in our setlist during the spring with the addition of Paid in Full, 8th Commandment and Black Sheep. For all I know that’s pretty much the stuff we’ll be doing for the last few shows this year…and in 2018 when we’re back on the road, we’ll have to renew the set to keep ourselves and you guys happy !!</div>
<div class="p1">
Any suggestions what you’d like to hear, let me know and I see what I can do.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
18.8. & 19.8. Summer Breeze, Germany & Rock Heart, Czech Republic</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Another run that starts with an overnight stay in Helsinki. We left on Thursday evening and continued on to Germany on Friday morning. At the Summerbreeze festival, I think the festival itself turned 20 years and our label Nuclear Blast had their 30 year anniversary or something so it was basically one giant meet and greet with a lot of familiar faces. The show was kinda ok but somehow I had trouble getting the gist of it , it was probably just in my head but it felt weird. Anyways, we ended the night with some steaks at the hotel and then got ready for an early wake-up call to fly to the Czech republic. We quickly swung by the hotel to drop our stuff and then proceeded to the festival, for a change of pace, the airline managed to lose our guitar and bass cases so that was of course exciting ;-) The did turn up just before the show, so all good in that department, the only problem was that my Vortex-keytar didn’t work, the light went on but nothing happened. As we were running late I decided to say, fuck it and just play the show with my Kronos, which of course worked out well but I was pissed since I couldn’t move around even a little bit. (This of course isn’t the problem with Silent Voices for example since we play small venues and on top of that the material is so complex that I need both of my hands for most of the stuff).</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
A few days after this incident I did get a pic from my tech, showing that the Vortex was actually broken inside. (the midi wiring had been yanked out of the motherboard).</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Our trip back home from Czech republic did however go ok and with that we had some days off to prepare for the last festival this month.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
26.8. Czad Festival, Poland</div>
<div class="p1">
One-offs in Europe are a bit of a shitty deal since we live up north and the connections</div>
<div class="p1">
really suck. Yeah I know, whiny whiny whiny little bitch. At the moment we’ve been out every weekend for two months so I have the right to complain a bit. Anyways, Friday night and on to Helsinki for the airport hotel, early Saturday we flew to Poland and went to the hotel to drop off our things (10min break) and then to the festival to rock out. A pretty good show it was indeed ;-) afterwards we got back to the hotel for some drinks, the next day we didn’t have to leave until 1600 hours so we spent the day sitting outside in the sun (keep in mind that our weather back home is already getting quite shitty)….in the evening we flew to Helsinki and went straight to bed since we arrived around 0100, the next day we flew home at 1400, talk about shitty connections.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Now we’re getting ready for the last trip of this year (actually the second to last, but the last one isn’t public yet…I think). We’re playing our first show in Israel in a few days and then it’s off to the Radio Rock Cruise with our friends from Stratovarius, Children of Bodom and Lost Society, among others…</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
cheers,</div>

Allrighty, since it’s summer everything is a bit chaotic with going to festivals every weekend and what have you in between. I’ll try to scrabble a few lines about what went on in July. Here we go:</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
1.7. & 2.7.2017 Lankafest & Tuska</div>
<div class="p1">
We started our festival season at Lankafest, Puolanka on the first of July. Since our tours this spring: The 5 weeks in Latin America and the 7 weeks in Europe + Finland shows…the total was around 70 gigs or something. We decided quite early on that upon returning home from Latin America (June 6th or something) we’ll take the rest of the month of to rest a bit. Of course I went on Holidays with my family so there wasn’t too much off-time…anyways. At Lankafest we played quite late and it felt a bit shaky after a few weeks off. A couple of songs into the set everything started to work somehow and we finished the show with a smile. Afterwards we drove to Helsinki overnight since otherwise we wouldn’t have made it on time for our late afternoon show.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
In Helsinki we had some time to rest at the hotle before heading to the festival. Some interviews, a signing session and a fun show later we found ourselves in a restaurant having a great dinner before it was time to call it a night. The next afternoon some of us checked out the Ville Juurikkala photo exibition before flying home.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
7.7.2017 Kalajoki</div>
<div class="p1">
This was an interesting club show in the middle of the summer, nevertheless…I drove down with my gf for the evening and back the next day. One weird thing was that when we started the venue seemed half empty…apparently we started too early or something since the place was quite full when the show ended…and people chanting for more for several minutes after we’d done the vodka thing and all…that’s quite unusual in Finland. Thanks a lot !!</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
14.7.-30.7.2017 Karjurock, Pioneerirock, Ilosaarirock, Rome & John Smith Festival</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
The next trip was a rather long one. It started with Karjurock somewhere in the woods near Uusikaupunki,<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>on Friday the 14.7. from there we went to Turku for a few hours of sleep and then it was time to drive to Kouvola for Pioneerirock on Saturday. On this night we got to sleep a bit again before an early start towards Joensuu on Sunday. All the shows went on with nothing major happening and after the Joensuu show, I stayed behind with my gf to hang out and then have some rest before next weeks travel.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
On Monday we drove to Helsinki and flew to Rome to shoot 3 music videos with Secret Rule…who has another album coming out in November. I did the keyboards last spring when I wasn’t on tour. As far as the videos go, I’d rather not give anything away but I think they’ll turn out really great, we had some really cool locations and a lot of funny moments….and luckily there was some time to do some tourist stuff as well. Nevertheless after spending the week in Rome we flew back to Helsinki on Friday from where we went to Elias house to hang out and spend the night.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
On Saturday the 22.7. we went to the John Smith festival and played a late night set after Children of Bodom. Nice festival and nice location…the next day was spent driving all the way home up north. What a week ;-)</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
29.7.2017 RockCock, Kuopio</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
The last festival this month was in our FOH guys hometown of Kuopio. I did make it a family trip, we drove down to my friends mansion the night before and then enjoyed the festival together. This was a rather quick, in and out - type of affair as most festivals seems to be these days. When we started the show our power was cut about halfway though our first song….which was something new, that hasn’t really happend in ages. Somehow we managed to get our shit together and back on track but for a while things were quite confusing.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
As you can see apart from the week of making music videos in Rome we only played in Finland this month. In August we only have one more show in Finland and the rest are scattered around Europe. More about that later….</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">

So what can you expect ? The album follows the lines of my first solo album: ...and the weird turned pro. Progressive Metal is probably the genre I'd put this in. This time around however, I decided to sing on this album myself. The rest of the band is the same as last time, my bandmates from SA Elias on guitar and Pasi on bass...and Jari on drums. This time we also had a budget to track some real drums instead of the electronic crap we delt with the last time. Pasi mixed an mastered the whole thing and I think it turned out really great. Below is the tracklist for the album. Rock'n'roll !!! ...and I'll make sure that the next one won't take this long to come out, 5 years is too much for someone as impatient as I am...</div>

21.5.-2.6.</div>
<div class="p1">
The Limeira show went ok, some problems with lights not working but that was about it. </div>
<div class="p1">
After the show we left at 0200 for Sao Paulo to fly to Lima. A bit tired we arrived there in the morning. I took a 4 hour ‘nap’ and then I went for a nice evening run. Our promoter had a birthdayparty in the evening so some of us joined for some good food and drinks.</div>
<div class="p1">
The show the next day went well, we got some Peru-shirts as well. In the morning Tommy & I went to the Inka-Market to buy some stuff to bring home. In the afternoon after the show we had lunch at the hotel and then flew to Bogota. We arrived so late that I skipped dinner and went to bed. The venue was across the street from the hotel so that was really convenient.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
After the Bogota show I went for a run in the morning just to see how it feels to run in 2500m above sea level. It was quite hard ;-) We were supposed to fly to Honduras for an off day but got problems with the connecting flights and ended up spending the night in San Salvador. The next morning we flew to Tegucigalpa and spent the rest of the day just relaxing. Elias and Pasi did a live interview of some kind. Nice weather and really nice hotel but going anywhere from there was more or less a no no. Pasi and Pekka our drumtech tried to go to the mall but when you see armed dudes at every gas-station and in front of the Burger King, you know it’s not safe….this was of course in the middle of the day. We played our first show in Honduras on the parking lot of the hotel and at 0300 after the show we left for the airport. When we arrived there it was really quiet and we had to pry open the door. Pretty ghostlike feeling….eventually people started showing up and we got to do the check-in and fly to Obregon in Mexico. 3 flights later, we arrived there in the evening and went to dinner. A truly exhausting day with flights delayed and a 6 hour layover in Mexico City. You can imagine how it feels to stay up the whole night after a show and then spend the next day traveling.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
In Obregon, we spent the showday swimming in the pool a couple of times and walking to the nearby Wallmart, because…why not. It was around 35 degrees celcius so some guys burned themselves. After a nice show we got up quite early in the morning to drive to Hermasillo and fly to Chihuahua from there. Arrived at a decent hour and went to the Buffalo Wild Wings across the street from the hotel for some hot wings, and managed to watch the Stanley Cup Finals game 1. On the show day it was pretty much the usual, resting at the hotel, going to soundcheck, back to the hotel, then back to the venue for the meet & greet…and finally the show. We had a huge stage so it was really fun to play. The morning of the Chihuahua showday was the last time we get to sleep propery on this tour. For the rest of the days we’ll be doing back to back shows with flying every morning.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
After the show we were back at the hotel around midnight but of course it took a couple of hours to calm down and fall asleep, woke up at 0630 to get downstairs and leave for the airport and the flight to Monterrey. Once again the venue is across the street so that makes it easy when we don’t have to spend time driving back and forth. At the moment it’s 3 hours to showtime and I still don’t know at what time everything will be ready for soundcheck and then the meet & greet. Well this is how it is in Latin-America, the schedules never work ;-) After 5 weeks we’re pretty used to it but I can still bitch a bit, right ? </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
3.6.-6.6.</div>
<div class="p1">
…and what a show it was, Monterrey rocked and so did we. It was hot as hell on stage but that’s how I like it. Got back to the hotel just after midnight but had a hard time calming down and getting to sleep. At 0500 the alarm rang and we headed towards the airport and Guadalajara. After that show we again had to get up really early and fly to Mexico City where we finished the tour, the next morning we headed home for a couple of weeks off before it was time to start the festival season, we’ll be playing shows every weekend from the beginning of July until September so there’ll be plenty of travels to write about. I try to get some pics uploaded from the Latin-American Tour at some point.</div>
<div class="p2">

Thank you all , this was a great but exhausting tour !!! Cheers !!</div>

Here we go again:</div>
<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
2.5.-7.5.</div>
<div class="p1">
We left home on the 2nd of May, flew to Buenos Aires via Helsinki and London. As usual the long flights were just spent watching movies and trying to sleep. Our first two shows on this tour were in Argentina, and both were sold out so it was a really nice start to the tour. Even though I do remember how entousiastic our audiences are down here, it still amazes me every time. From Argentina we went to Chile for a one off-in Santiago, this one was also packed with about 2000 screaming fans welcoming us back, we filmed the show, let’s see what will come out of it once we get the material and we can figure out what to do with it. It will however not be a full DVD show from that concert. We’ve also been recording our shows in Europe and Finland and have a bunch of other live material collected as well but we’ll see how these things progress….at the moment we don’t have a definite plan for the next live-cd or DVD.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
8.5.-11.5.</div>
<div class="p1">
Anyways, from Chile it was off to our 2 weeks in Brazil. We’re doing 10 shows and a lot of them are done in the way that we fly in the morning and play in the evening, which of course is quite exhausting, especially when you have several shows in a row. It’s a lot harder than touring with a bus, when you just go to sleep and wake up in the next place. Even a short 1 hour flight takes us up to 6 hours, with all the gear and the driving from hotels to airports etc. Be that as it may, we signed up for this and it’s not our first time doing hectic tours. At the moment we’ve done Porto Alegre and Curitiba with a 17 hour travel day before that ;-) Today we’re flying to Recife via Sao Paulo and that will basically take this whole day for us. Next up is Recife, Fortaleza and Belem, with the latter two having morning flights on the showdays. So far the weather here in Brazil has been a bit on the colder side but tonight when we get to Recife it should be warm enough. Yesterday here in Curitiba there were some problems with the PA breaking down but in the end we managed to finish the show.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
12.5.-16.5.</div>
<div class="p1">
Well, Recife, Fortaleza and Belem where hot as hell and really humid as well. Nevertheless it was some great shows and in Belem I think we’re one of the first if not only European Metal band who has played here, correct me if I’m wrong. From Belem we flew to Belo Horizonte to start our next stretch of 4 shows in a row. For this part we have a couple of busrides so instead of flying in the morning we just drive. Even though we have to get up really early it’s still a lot easier this way ;-). </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
In case you wondering why I’m bitchin about this travel + show thing just as an example: </div>
<div class="p1">
When the show starts in the evening around 2200 that means it’ll be ready by midnight</div>
<div class="p1">
at around 0100 we might be back at the hotel, if we’re lucky. Then you try to get to sleep which will happen around 2 or 3 in the morning since you’re still worked up after the show. The alarm will ring about 3 hours later and it’s time to get up and get going…and of course the next evening you have a show as well ;-) …just in case you wonder why grown up men try to take afternoon naps, here’s the reason…</div>
<div class="p1">
At the moment I just finished watching Canada beat Finland in hockey and I’m waiting to get the call to get downstairs and go for soundcheck here in Belo Horizonte. There have been some tech problems, that’s why we’re still at the hotel even tough it’s around 1800 in the evening. Usually we do the soundchecks in the afternoon. Luckily we have an excellent crew and I think they’ll sort this out, whatever it is. I’m trying to think about stuff that has happened on this tour but it’s all a blur of shows, airports, vans hotels and dinners. I did manage to go out for some runs and did some swimming as well. Finally I got the word, have to be downstairs in 20mins. Later.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
17.5.-20.5.</div>
<div class="p1">
After Belo Horizonte we drove to Juiz de Fora, another new place for us. It was an interesting show and the venue was quite good actually…from there we continued by bus to Rio de Janeiro where of course we’ve been many times before. The place we played at was partially outdoors and we had to postpone the beginning of the show since the was a protest of some kind and the police shot some teargas-stuff or something so we couldn’t go outside for awhile. Well, we did hear some loud bangs from crowd-control grenades but that was about it from our part. The next morning we flew to Sao Paulo. Because of the horrible traffic jams we missed our soundcheck, the drive that was supposed to take around 60min took about 2,5 hours. Be that as it may the show was good and it was really nice to end the 4 shows streak with a great crowd.</div>
<div class="p1">
In the morning we drove to Limeira, watched Finland lose against the Swedes in hockey and then went for the nearby mall to get some food. Tomorrow is the last show of the Brazilian part of this tour and then we’re off to Peru, Colombia, Honduras and Mexico before heading home.</div>

Monday 3.4. Off-day / Bochum, Germany</div>
<div class="p1">
Since two of the shows on this tour got cancelled, the promoter went bankrupt, </div>
<div class="p1">
we did manage to book an extra show in Bochum to try to somehow make it up</div>
<div class="p1">
for the fans, furthermore we managed to make the deal in such a fashion that</div>
<div class="p1">
you could use the already purchased tickets for the cancelled Cologne and</div>
<div class="p1">
Herford shows to get in. It was a really shitty situation and we did the best we</div>
<div class="p1">
could to sort it out. It’s really frustrating when something like this happens.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Anyways, we spent the Off-day in Bochum at a hotel we’ve been to a couple of times</div>
<div class="p1">
before. They have a nice sauna and swimming pool so it’s the perfect spot to relax.</div>
<div class="p1">
I just took it easy and rested and in the evening a whole bunch of us went to a Greek Restaurant for a long dinner. It was really good and after that I was really ready to</div>
<div class="p1">
sleep.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Tuesday 4.4. Bochum, Germany</div>
<div class="p1">
Woke up really eary and then went for a run and breakfast. It was really interesting</div>
<div class="p1">
to see if anyone would show up since we announced this show on such short notice</div>
<div class="p1">
but in the end we got a good crowd and played a very hot show. Now we’re on the final streak with 6 shows in a row. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Wednesday 5.4. Ludwigsburg, Germany</div>
<div class="p1">
I went for a long walk and checked out the local palace from the outside and did</div>
<div class="p1">
some shopping before heading back to the venue…then it was business as usual,</div>
<div class="p1">
after the show we hung out on the parking lot for awhile since someone had opened</div>
<div class="p1">
a bar from the back of their car. We didn’t have that much time before it was time</div>
<div class="p1">
to leave for Leipzig.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Thursday 6.4. Leipzig, Germany</div>
<div class="p1">
Today I managed to lose my shoes, I went into the wrong backstage and then when I went to our, it seems that I left my shoes behind ;-) …at the time I didn’t know it but these shoes will resurface later. Anyways, today our bus went to the get some service since it wasn’t working properly, the part that they needed had to be sent from Belgium or something so that ment that we’d get a new bus tonight to get us to Sweden in time. I left some stuff on our bus that I neede so me & some of the crew took the support band bus and drove to the service place to pick up said stuff from our bus. The place was so far away that when we came back we missed dinner….while starving our TM did order us some food and about an hour later everything was alright. Except for the fact that I was getting sick. As usual on tour the flu starts somewhere and then in begins to circulate among the tourparty…now it seems it was my turn. I decided not to take any pills or anything if I could avoid it, in order to let the fever rise and get me well asap….I have no idea how these things work but it has before so let’s see….on stage I felt kinda shitty….. In the middle of the night the new bus came to pick us up...and off we went towards Sweden.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Friday 7.4. Malmö, Sweden</div>
<div class="p1">
Got woken up quite early, we took a ferry from Rostock to somewhere in Denmark and I hit the tax free shop on the boat. Still feeling sick but somehow managed to survive, the rest of the day I spent sleeping and resting whenever I could. The show in the evening was once again a bit of a struggle. Tonight we had to wait until 0400 for our "old" bus to catch up with us and after that it was straight to bed for me. Great to be back "home".</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Saturday 8.4. Örebro, Sweden</div>
<div class="p1">
More resting, I think I sweated most of the crap out last night when I was sleeping, let’s see…I was feeling closer to normal during the show, still not a 100% but close.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Sunday 9.4. Göteborg, Sweden</div>
<div class="p1">
Back in business, apart from a bit of a runny nose I was more or less ok. The usual 3 day tourcold was gone. Spent the day packing up my stuff etc. In the evening the shows featured a bunch of pranks as usual. The Striker show got invaded by a bunch of dudes working out, Thunderstone had Tony brushing his teeth…On our show, we had a pervert wolfman showing up during Among the shooting stars….Tony totally lost it since it was so funny….during Don’t say a word a table was brought in to the middle of the stage with our support bands taking a seat and drinking beer. There were also some huge balloons flying around….it kinda got out of hand a bit. At the end of the show all the band took a bow together and then that was it. The tour was over. Actually one more thing happend, Elias played guest guitar on Until we touch the burning sun, the last song in Thunderstone’s set.</div>
<div class="p1">
…After the show we hung out and had some beers and wrapped the tour up. The Triosphere drummer and FOH also showed up btw.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
A really huge thank you for our brave support bands, Striker, Triosphere & Thunderstone…and of course to all you crazy fans showing up at the shows and supporting us !!! 41 shows in 7 weeks , that was a tough one.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Monday 10.4. Travel Day, Göteborg-Helsinki-Kemi</div>
<div class="p1">
Since we live in the middle of nowhere it took all day to get home. We were at the airport at around 10 in the morning or something….flew to Helsinki at 1300 and then we hung out in the lounge until 2345 when the flight to Kemi left…arriving at 0115 on what was technically Tuesday morning. Now we have 3 weeks to rest and do other things (like recording the final 3 songs for the new Secret Rule album). Before it’s time to hit Latin-America with 5 weeks worth of shows. I update some pics from Europe when I get around to it…</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
cheers,</div>

Monday 27.3. Off-day / Manchester, UK</div>
<div class="p1">
Started the week with an off-day. Spent most of the day just resting in my room,</div>
<div class="p1">
went out to eat at some point but that was about it. Luckily there’s only 2 off-days</div>
<div class="p1">
left on this tour because most of the time, these are just plain boring and pointless, </div>
<div class="p1">
at least for me. We got 3 stretches left. First 2 shows in a row (with a lovely ferryride in between) and then 3 in a row…and the last one will be a streak of 6 shows which will end in Gothenburg, Sweden.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Tuesday 28.3. Wolverhampton, UK</div>
<div class="p1">
On this last day in the UK we headed out to a pub for dinner, hang around the venue</div>
<div class="p1">
and eventually got around to do the show. One of our fans proposed to his girlfriend</div>
<div class="p1">
during the show, everything went well and I wish them the best of luck…and she said</div>
<div class="p1">
yes , how could she not ? After the show it was time to head to the ferry.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Wednesday 29.3. Lille, France</div>
<div class="p1">
I thought I was going to be woked up to get out of the bus but that didn’t happend so I just slept right through the ferry-ride, of course I woke up for some minor bumps and what have you but not enough to actually get out of bed. Anyways, back to the mainland and the last show in France on this tour. This was a rather normal day, in a place we’ve been to many times before.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Thursday 30.3. Off-day / Aschaffenburg, Germany</div>
<div class="p1">
Stayed at a nice hotel outside of the city. Really great weather and nice views, I walked down to the city and around for a bit. The rest of the day was just spent chilling and enjoying the sun.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Friday 31.3. Aschaffenburg, Germany </div>
<div class="p1">
During the day I went to the media markt and got some new headphones, then just hung around until the show. We could get to the venue with the buses so I tried to take a nap on one of the couches backstage and it kind of worked ;-) The show was a very hot one but it went rather well. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Saturday 1.4. Eindhoven, The Netherlands</div>
<div class="p1">
Once again , old places and new faces ;-) I went out for a walk with some of the TS guys in the afternoon, got some stuff for my kids and then spent the rest of the day</div>
<div class="p1">
at the venue. We had a short meet & greet in the afternoon and I did an interview as well. Nice and easy….of course I had to prank the guys a bit since it was April fools day so just before Fairytale I whipped out a Donald Trump - mask and used it during the song, it was a bit difficult to play the tune since I couldn’t see shit but it was totally worth it.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Sunday 2.4. Utrecht, The Netherlands</div>
<div class="p1">
Another really nice venue and an easy day….quite uneventful actually. I had a massage in the afternoon which was really relaxing…and the food was amazing as</div>
<div class="p1">
always.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>

Monday 20.3. Nottingham, UK</div>
<div class="p1">
Had a nice day getting lost in the venue a couple of times. What a maze. Me & Marius</div>
<div class="p1">
completed our ab-wheel challenge that we agreed upon and after the shows we all hang out at the bar downstairs and bid the norwegians farewell. Until we meet again !!</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Tuesday 21.3. Off-day / Nottingham, UK</div>
<div class="p1">
Started the off-day with a run and then it was time for Five Guys once again. Later on a small group of us went to check out the some of the caves, which was interesting. In the evening we had a bigger entourage and hit a really good indian restaurant before it was time to call it a day.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Wednesday 22.3. Manchester, UK</div>
<div class="p1">
Once again hitting a place we’ve been before and having a good time once again. It</div>
<div class="p1">
was raining the whole day which made me really lazy so apart soundcheck and the show etc , I spent the day in my bunk watching movies.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Thursday 23.3. Sheffield, UK</div>
<div class="p1">
Eat, Run, Soundcheck, Dinner, Nap, Interview, Show, Pub, Bed.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Friday 24.3. Glasgow, Scotland</div>
<div class="p1">
Pretty much the same as the day before. The buses were parked some 4km away so we spent the day at the venue…you see how lazy we’re getting, it seems like the tour fatigue is setting in and the most that you can do is play the shows and then just relax the rest of the time.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Saturday 25.3. Belfast, Northern-Ireland</div>
<div class="p1">
After the soundcheck the band went to eat together and then it was time for a nap. After the show there was some hellish disco going on so it was quite impossible to get some sleep since the bus didn’t leave until 0830 in the morning.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Sunday 26.3. Dublin,Ireland</div>
<div class="p1">
Home of Guinness ;-) Some of the guys took a tour of the brewery during the day and we had dinner at HRC later on. The show tonight was really good an since the upper balcony was closed I managed to check out most of Strikers set and the Thunderstone set as well. Really good bands and it was nice to finally get to enjoy their shows. After the show we had to catch the ferry in the middle of the night so I didn’t get to bed until 0600 in the morning when we arrived…somewhere….We then drove to Manchester for the day off.</div>

Monday 13.3. Off-day / Besancon, France</div>
<div class="p1">
Woke up really early…and was pissed off because I would have wanted to sleep longer. Anyways, we went for lunch with some of the boys and then back to the hotel. I’ve been looking for a sports store to get some running gear and I found one but it was closed today. At the hotel I spent some time doing nothing before I got really bored and decided to walk up the hill to La Citadelle as it was called. The walk wasn’t too long but quite steep uphill so I worked on a good sweat…When I was up there admiring the view I run in to Larry our merch guy, we headed down together hitting some churches on the way and eventually went for dinner. Well back at the hotel I was just chilling, trying to stay awake (this was around 1900 so a bit too early to go to sleep), when Pasi asked me to go to the movies with him…well, why not. He’d found a movie that wasn’t dubbed so we could enjoy it….hence, we checked out Kong: Skull island or something like that, it was fun, and in 3D as well. I don’t think it would have been a movie I’d watch back home but in that moment it was the perfect thing. Afterwards I joined some of the bar hopping gang in the hotel lobby for some time and ended the night with some netflix.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Tuesday 14.3. Besancon, France</div>
<div class="p1">
Got up just before breakfast ended and then I hit the sports store, got my stuff and went for a nice run. It felt really weird, I think the last time I ran was over 10 years ago…well, it’ll get better I’m sure. Enjoyed some online time (yeah, e-mails) at the hotel before it was time to head to the venue. Pasi, Tony & I went to do some laundry before the</div>
<div class="p1">
soundcheck and after a nice dinner and a nap it was once again business as</div>
<div class="p1">
usual.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Wednesday 15.3. Nancy, France</div>
<div class="p1">
Another new town, same procedure as everyday though ;-)</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Thursday 16.3. Rennes, France</div>
<div class="p1">
More of the same…. early in the morning we took the ferry across to the UK. It</div>
<div class="p1">
was a rather long ride and there was plenty of time to get breakfast, do some shopping</div>
<div class="p1">
and get really bored…only 3 ferry rides left….</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Friday 17.3. Southampton, UK</div>
<div class="p1">
Since we spent the morning at the ferry the rest of the day was spent sleeping more or</div>
<div class="p1">
less. Once awake we met up with a friend of ours and me & Tommy went to Five Guys to have some burgers. Good stuff.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Saturday 18.3. Bristol, UK</div>
<div class="p1">
I thought I just drop dead when I got into the Marble Factory, nothing against the</div>
<div class="p1">
venue or the nice staff but fuck it smelled like mould here, like really bad. We all decided to spend as little time inside as possible, of course the crew couldn’t do that</div>
<div class="p1">
poor guys. After the soundcheck some of us went to Five Guys again, still tasted good.</div>
<div class="p1">
The show went really well but we could definitely feel the air afterwards….hopefully we</div>
<div class="p1">
don’t have too many of these kind of situations anymore.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Sunday 19.3. Cardiff, UK</div>
<div class="p1">
Really nice venue today, big & clean etc. Did some interviews with Pasi, checked out the city a bit and later on Pasi, Tony & I went to Jamie Olivers Italian restaurant for</div>
<div class="p1">
dinner. It was really good ;-) Show in the evening as usual and then off-we went. Tomorrow is the last show before the off-day, that would be number 7 in a row which is a new record for Sonata, the most we’ve played back to back so far has been 6. It’s also the last show for Triosphere before they head home and get replaced by our</div>
<div class="p1">
finnish friends Thunderstone. I’m sure we’ll have some goodbye drinks and such.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>

Monday 6.3. Sevilla, Spain</div>
<div class="p1">
Never been here before and the day started rather interestingly when we found out that the local rep didn’t speak english at all. Somehow everything worked with the help of google translate…well , sometimes that’s just life. During the day some of us took a walk around the city and enjoy the warm weather. Took a late lunch at a gourmet restaurant called Burger King ;-). </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Tuesday 7.3. Lisbon, Portugal</div>
<div class="p1">
Woke up in Lisbon of all places. As far as I can remember we’ve only played in Porto before but I’m not a 100% sure. Spent the whole day walking around the city, skipped the soundcheck…partly by accident and no fault of mine. Got up to the castle etc etc , a really nice city I must say. In the evening we just enjoyed performing in front of our portugese friends and ended the night with some aftershow pizza and showers…as always btw.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Wednesday 8.3. Travel/Off-day, Pamplona, Spain</div>
<div class="p1">
We had a rather long drive (over 900km) so we arrived in Pamplona late in the afternoon. After checking in in the really nice cathedral hotel we just hit the streets in search for food. Having filled our stomachs with a variety of dishes there was nothing left to do but get back to the hotel and call it a night. I did however manage to see the end of the Barcelona-PSG game and that was some serious soccer drama right there. Unbeliavable !!</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Thursday 9.3. Pamplona, Spain</div>
<div class="p1">
We had a late check-out at the hotel so we had a couple of hours in the morning to walk around the city and do some shopping etc, at around 1400 we left from the hotel to the venue and the soundcheck. Did some walking around before dinner but there wasn’t too much around. Some ice-cream from a gas-station and then we found a toy store and got some stuff for the kids as well. The show was a big surprise since we didn’t realize how many fans we have in Pamplona. Nice job showing up guys ;-)</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Friday 10.3. Bordeaux, France</div>
<div class="p1">
The drive tonight was really short so we got here early in the morning. Before soundcheck I escorted my gf to the airport and bid farwell for the journey home. We’re approching the halfway mark pretty soon but for now we still have a bit over 4 weeks to go. Anways, spent the afternoon catching up on e-mail work, didn’t get everything done but at least some of it….and of course typing this stuff as well. Now it’s dinner time !</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Saturday 11.3. Toulouse, France</div>
<div class="p1">
Once again we got to play in a new venue for us. Really nice stage and backstage area, probably one of the nicest venues so far on this tour. It was a nice sunny day but I didn’t want to go anywhere so I spent my afternoon reading…in the evening we did the show, ate our pizzas and headed towards Lyon…Actually something funny happened when we started the show. Somehow my keytar was off-pitch by a half step so the intro to Closer to an Animal sounded really horrific, luckily the problem went away when I rebooted the Vortex during the song but still it was weird….especially since I’ve made sure that I delete any controllers that I don’t use so this would basically have been impossible…anyways, sorry for the tech talk.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">

<div class="p1">
When I got in to the venue in the morning and had some breakfast I got the really good news, we only had 3 tickets left for the show tonight. What a perfect way to end this strech of shows before our off-day. I spent the afternoon on my computer and then I went out for a walk with Tommy…to the Golden Arches ;-) The show sold out a bit later on in the afternoon and we were in for a really nice night. During the first few songs Pasi’s bass broke down, hopefully Tero can fix it before we go on…</div>

Monday 27.2. Zurich, Switzerland</div>
<div class="p1">
Allrighty-o, here we go with the 2nd week of the tour. After getting started everything</div>
<div class="p1">
starts to run like a well oiled machine, now we just have to keep this up until the</div>
<div class="p1">
9th of April when the last show will be in Sweden. In Zurich we played a nice venue</div>
<div class="p1">
but it did have a lot of stairs for we got some free ass workout during the day. I joined Pasi for dinner, we did eat at the international fine-dining experience known as</div>
<div class="p1">
Burger King. Everything else went just as expected and we got over the “missing</div>
<div class="p1">
Avenged Sevenfold” - thing.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Tuesday 28.2. Solothurn, Switzerland</div>
<div class="p1">
Another new place for us, the venue was once again really good as was the dinner</div>
<div class="p1">
and everything else. After the show we did some ab-wheel training with the support</div>
<div class="p1">
band guys, let’s see how many will feel trashed tomorrow. There was also a foosball table in the backstage which I think at least Elias was playing some rather intense games with.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Wednesday 1.3. Lausanne, Switzerland</div>
<div class="p1">
Nice venue, great food, good crowd..you’ve heard it all before ;-) After the show we did leave quite early to get to our off-day in time and make sure our driver could get enough rest.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Thursday 2.3. Off-day, Marseille, France</div>
<div class="p1">
Didn’t really do much of anything, a bunch of us went to the city and grabbed some late lunch and walked around for a bit. A couple of guys from our support band Striker managed to get into some trouble though. Apparently they intercepted some dude strangling a woman and got to fight off a bunch of guys. Everyone is alive and well and as far as I can see, no bruises or anything. Nevertheless, we were told in advance that some parts of the city is not really safe…which proved out to be right.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Friday 3.3. Marseille, France</div>
<div class="p1">
Still exploring new places. This venue is really nice, amazing catering and great stage, I’m sure tonight will be awesome as well. Spent the day enjoying some of the sun and just waiting…as usual ;-) </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Saturday 4.3. Barcelona, Spain</div>
<div class="p1">
Nice to be back in Spain, we missed the whole country last fall when we did the first part of the European Tour. In the morning we went to buy some cigarettes with Tommy and later on after soundcheck, some of us went to this really good burger place in the shopping mall….the club tonight is in the basement of a mall, of all things. We had some massages during the early evening but other than that it was business as usual. When we left after the show, somehow the powercable to the trailer broke and it took a couple of hours to fix that….I think…I was in my bunk watching a movie so I’m not too sure how long it took.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Sunday 5.3. Madrid, Spain</div>

<div class="p1">
Arrived a couple of hours late which was a bit of a bummer but these things happend. I went to the aiport to pick up my gf who will be with me for a couple of days here, as to what we’ll do, it’s really none of your business ;-) The evening went really great and we had a good and loud crowd once again. The next few shows will be in new places which of course is really interesting, hope everything goes well.</div>

<div class="p1">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Sunday 19.2. Travel Day- Kemi-Helsinki-Frankfurt</div>
<div class="p1">
For a change we had the opportunity to just hang at the airport in Helsinki for a</div>
<div class="p1">
few hours instead of having to spend the night, which of course was a nice</div>
<div class="p1">
thing for us who live up north. Other than that this was pretty much the usual, getting</div>
<div class="p1">
to the airport, checking in and meeting up with the rest of the band & crew at the</div>
<div class="p1">
Helsinki airport. In the evening we stayed at a hotel in Frankfurt and met the other bands as well. Our gear was sent to Germany straight after the Finnish Tour so there was no extra trouble howling that pile of stuff with us ;-)</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Monday 20.2. Nurnberg, Germany</div>
<div class="p1">
Got picked up really early to drive to Nurnberg and start setting up the first show of </div>
<div class="p1">
the tour. Being that we used the same gear and setup as in Finland there wasn’t any</div>
<div class="p1">
big stress on getting everything to work properly, or at least not that I know of. We kept the same setlist as we have so far on this tour, with the exception of Misplaced which</div>
<div class="p1">
made a return ;-) Nice show to start the tour with and now we only have 41 more to</div>
<div class="p1">
go…</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Tuesday 21.2. Zlin, Czech Rep.</div>
<div class="p1">
As usual on these European Tours we drive through the night and waking up in Zlin in front of the Masters of Rock Cafe was a familiar feeling. We went walking around town a bit (actually we did that yesterday as well)…and went shopping for random items that one might need on tour. In the evening we played for a rather full house of excited fans and we got a nice hot stage as well. Slowly we start to get into the touring mode where the days just fly by…but not quite yet.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Wednesday 22.2. Vienna, Austria</div>
<div class="p1">
Once again we’re at a familiar place, no worries though we decided to be active and headed for the city, taking the tram and going to the centre to walk around and get a late lunch. Found a place not too shabby, but the waiter tried to screw me with the change….no worries , I noticed it immediately and caught the bastard. The food was quite ok though. Took the tram back and did soundcheck, inteviews and what have you,</div>
<div class="p1">
the show was once again a great one, but then these days most of them are so instead of repeating myself maybe I should just not comment on the shows at all…..at least</div>
<div class="p1">
if I have nothing more to say than it was nice, ok , great or whatever ? Same thing with the aftershow ritual: after the show we take showers, get changed, eat and then we leave….that’s pretty much the same everyday ;-)</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Thursday 23.2. Munich, Germany</div>
<div class="p1">
Still sailing on familiar turf. The walkabout today for me was just joining Elias for a short round of walking….there wasn’t really anything to see except a huge postal distribution center or something like that. The rest of the day was pretty much business as usual, which means it was a good day to be on the road !!</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Friday 24.2. Modena, Italy</div>
<div class="p1">
…and then it was time for the first new place on this tour. We haven’t played in Modena ever before and it was a nice surprise to find a great crowd showing up. Afterwards there was some weird disco with people dressed up like cartoons or something, I didn’t check it out but from the pics I was shown by some of the support band guys, it was a rather interesting freak show ;-) Our friends from Trick or Treat showed up as well and it was really nice to meet all of them again and hang out a bit before we had to leave !!</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Saturday 25.2. Rome, Italy</div>
<div class="p1">
In Rome we played at a venue that was new to us. Previously I’ve only been here at a festival but I’m not sure if the band played here in 2000 or 2001. Anyways today was a really early show, we had a long drive ahead of us and appeareantly they also wanted us out of the way so the disco could start…sounds familiar ? After the show I met my pals from Secret Rule, I played on their last album and we’re working on something new together again. It was really nice to meet up even though we had to leave pretty much right after the show.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Sunday 26.2. Travel / Off-Day (Rome, Italy-Zurich, Switzerland)</div>
<div class="p1">
A quite long drive, we left at around 2300 last night and checked in to the hotel just after</div>
<div class="p1">
1500 today. Went for dinner with the guys and spent the rest of the evening doing computer work and hanging out in the room. Still managed to get out for an evening snack but this day was the most peaceful so far. We were planning to go skating but the place closed really early since it was a Sunday so we’ll have to try to do that another time….and just for the record we found out the next day that Avenged Sevenfold had a show on this day which I think most of us would really have wanted</div>
<div class="p1">
to attend had we found out about this in time. FUCK.</div>

18.1. Lutakko / Jyväskylä</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Back from the holidays ;-) Me, Tommy & Tony took the train from Kemi to Jyväskylä, a nice 9 hours of doing nothing…anyways, when we got to Jyväskylä we all got to test our new in-ear monitors for the first time. (those are the earbuds we use to make sure we hear each other during the show btw). They sounded pretty amazing at soundcheck and we were all really happy and relieved that they worked so well. We had a couple of hours to rest at the hotel after dinner and then it was time to hit the stage. It felt interesting to play the new songs here in Finland for the first time, even though for us they don’t feel that new anymore since we’ve already played around 40-50 shows with the new songs in the setlist. The show went quite well and we had a good crowd as always in Jyväskylä. Afterwards we enjoyed the sauna backstage and then it was time to head to the hotel and get some sleep.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
19.1. Rytmikorjaamo / Seinäjoki</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Didn’t have to wake up too early, which was of course nice. We drove to Seinäjoki with the bus and then headed straight to the hotel while the crew went to the venue to set up the show. A quite normal day, soundcheck & dinner and then hanging around waiting for the show. One thing that did come to mind was that the ‘Ameriikan Juna’ tape we put on the piano here (and you can see on the Live in Finland dvd-extras) is still here on the backstage piano, it still sounds the same ;-) …how many years ago was that now, 6 or 7 or something, I think we should have some anniversary recording of it , if the tape is still in place when 10 years has passed from the first performance. Anyways, </div>
<div class="p1">
the show went well and afterwards we had a couple of beers with the Thunderstone guys before heading to bed at the hotel.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
20.1. Terminaaliareena / Oulu</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Got up really early, actually I almost overslept but somehow managed to rush myself to the bus in time and also grab some really quick breakfast on the way. I continued my sleep on the bus and woke up in Oulu in the afternoon. Spent the day hanging around the venue with my gf who showed up for the show tonight. We had a really good crowd and it was fun to play as always. After the show I drove how since it’s only a 90min drive and I do get to spend enough time sleeping in hotels or buses.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
21.1. Teatria / Tornio</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Spent most of the day at home since the show was only a 15min drive from where I live. We did the soundcheck and had dinner and then there was still time to go home for a few hours before the show. As usual we were a bit extra nervous since this was essentially a hometown gig. This was also the grand opening of this venue which made it really special. I think they did a good job and the venue is really nice, with a big stage which is high enough so everyone in the audience can see what’s going on. Once again we had a lot of people showing up and the show itself was a blast. I did however almost mess up after Fullmoon when I forgot that there was stil Among the shooting stars to be played before leaving the stage for the No more silence-intro tape. I was already on my way off when I realized that, but managed to jump back behind my keys to start the song in time. After the show me & my entourage got in the car and left rather quickly. Since the crew and Pasi & Elias who don’t live up here were anyway leaving with the bus, I figured there was no reason to stick around.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
27.1. The Circus / Helsinki</div>
<div class="p1">
For this weekend we flew to Helsinki on the showday. I spent the day walking around a bit and after soundcheck we had a nice dinner at the venue, a few hours of rest at the hotel and then it was time for the show. I have managed to break a bunch of keys on my Kronos but in between these shows I got the whole keybed replaced so it was really nice to play with a keyboard that works 100%. The show was really good and we had a lot more people than last time here. Afterwards it was time for a couple of drinks with our guests backstage, we had a lot of friends showing up so that was of course nice.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
28.1. Apollo / Turku</div>
<div class="p1">
Slept in the bus on the way to Turku, and upon arrival I got a big pizza from the place nextdoor to the venue…that was a rather large disappoinment though. Should have taken a picture….anyways, tonights venue was more of a nightclub with access to the stage through the crowd. However we sold the place out and had a nice and intimate show in the evening. Being disappointed with the pizza, it was really nice to have dinner across the street, which was awesome btw !! The Turku show was quite early, which also was nice, afterwards I met up with my brother and his friends for a couple of drinks before it was time to go to the hotel with my gf (who was tagging along this weekend).</div>
<div class="p1">
In the morning we had breakfast and enjoyed the 7 hour trainride back home. Now we only have one more weekend (3 shows) here in Finland before we take on the rest of Europe for a whopping 7 weeks. As far as our belowed homecountry, we won’t be doing any shows here until July during the festival season.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
2.2. Katu-Klubi / Lahti</div>
<div class="p1">
The last trainride for at least 4month or so ;-) We took the southbound train at 0711 towards Lahti. The day was spent as usual when you have to sit down, phones & computers and ipads… As soon as we got to Lahti we headed for the venue to meet up with the rest of the guys. The Katu-Klubi is a relatively new venue, nice backstage etc After the soundcheck we had this weekends best food at a local restaurant, which of course I didn’t check the name of ;-( In the evening we rocked out in front of a Sold Out crowd, which of course was awesome !! Afterwards I went for a couple of drinks with our manager before heading to bed.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
3.2. House of Rock / Kouvola</div>
<div class="p1">
It was great to have an somewhat early show yesterday and be able to sleep long this</div>
<div class="p1">
morning. We left the hotel at 1230 to head towards Kouvola and what would become</div>
<div class="p1">
a night of considerably less sleep. The showtime tonight is 0030, which is really late, hope our fans are still awake at that time….and us as well for that matter ;-) Tomorrow</div>
<div class="p1">
we have to leave for Joensuu at 0800 so there’ll be no sleep, or hardly any… We probably sleep on the bus anyways so whatever. Did soundcheck in the afternoon as usual and then we decided to go to watch an ice-hockey game. Elias hometown team Tappara were vising and beat the home team KooKoo 5-0. It was nice to watch the game instead of just waiting at the hotel. We got back to our rooms around 2100 so there was still 3,5 hours to kill before the show. In the middle of the night when we hit the stage we got a full house once again and it was a lot of fun. Some women fainted in the middle of the set but I think she recovered, at least I hope so. After the show we headed straight to the hotel to try to get some sleep before leaving for Joensuu.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
4.2. Kerubi / Joensuu</div>
<div class="p1">
I did sleep a bit and then continued to sleep on the bus so when we arrived in Joensuu I wasn’t too tired anymore. Tonights show was also sold out, so it was a perfect way to end the Finnish part of the 9th Hour World Tour. As usual in Kerubi, the food was really great, the people friendly and the backstage really small ;-) It was a lot of fun, we ended the night with some drinks with the Thunderstone guys (which we will see again in Manchester when they join the European Tour) before getting some sleep and then driving home the next day.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Thank you Finland, see you in the summer on the festivals ;-) Next up is part 2 of the European Tour, 7 weeks and 40+ shows. Rock’n’Roll !!!</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">

Still alive !!</div>
<div class="p1">
Some more days has passed and everyone is still alive and in good spirits. We still have a bit over a week to go before heading home for christmas. The rest of the Canadian part went really well after Calgary. We had an off-day in Kamloops and were invited to a really nice dinner at some relatives house. It was really nice to spend some hours away from the bus. After that we ended the Canadian part in Vancouver before heading back to the US. In Portland most of the band went to the apple store to check out some stuff. Later on I met up with some relatives of mine for a nice dinner before the show. Once we got down to San Fransisco a friend of ours had arranged tickets to visit Alcatraz. What an amazing experience that was, really nice to spend some hours there during the day….and happy to be able to leave as well ;-) </div>
<div class="p2">

<div class="p1">
In Anaheim my wireless midi was not working properly so I had to switch to wire which sucked since we had a big stage and it would have been great to run around. The next day in Tempe I managed to somehow open the batterycase at the back of the keytar during Abandoned so that caused some hassle, luckily it was only for half a song.</div>
<div class="p1">
Tonight we’re in El Paso, Texas. Pasi, Tommy & I went out for burgers and a short walk and we just got back. In a few minutes we’ll do the soundcheck. After tonight we still have 8 more shows to go. I’ll post some pics when I get around to it….as usual.</div>
