I'm emotionally hungover and sad that everything ended so soon. I've seen so many interesting people these days, I enjoyed the best kind of society and definitely had one of the best moments in my career. Now it's strange to return to my everyday life, and the best thing I can do now is to immerse into my book - the deeper, the better.
29 June: press pass just obtained. The adventure starts...
30 June - THE DAY
Hunt successful. While moving away after the concert, I felt something under my foot and first couldn't believe my eyes... Isn't it the greatest motivator to go on with my guitar learning?
The winter wizard casting a spell. I'm still sad Jari won't do live guitar any more. However, he really feels more free while singing. He started with "Spring" from the new album. "I crrreated my own feeeeeaaaarrrrrrs!!!"
The prominent student of the amazing teacher. Who does this definition relate to?..
The gorgeous Anneke van Giersbergen and her new heavy band VUUR - definitely worth listening. I hate it when Anneke sings some light staff. And it was so stupid of me not to request an interview with her at the festival. But why not do it by email, though.
There was another interview, though. Only then I understood: they are real, just like me.
Suicidal Tendencies invited EVERYONE onstage... It was epic.
Here's Apocalyptica playing Metallica by 4 Cellos. In the evening the sun was particularly strong and shone directly into their eyes. I feared Antero would get a heatstroke, but then recalled that Finnish people are used to the sauna ))).
American band baroness has shown a new guitarist Gina. Hope she came for a long time, because this lady kicks ass!
That was the 1st time I ever heard Mastodon. What a powerful experience!
