Canada's Gift For The World: Anvil

You just gotta love Anvil. You can't hate them. Lips is so cute and Robb... I was like a jelly when I met Lips, Robb and G5. Once again my nickname came true: Jellyfish. You should've seen how Lips' and Robb's eyes almost popped out of their heads when I asked them to sign my Back Waxed LP cover. I think they didn't guess that they'll sign LP covers at these days anymore. Hahahahaha x) Everyone else wanted to their singatures in their new album (which is a CD btw).

I'll never forget Anvil's very first gig in Finland. I was in the front row right under Lips' nose. I think I was the only lady in the front row but I had lots of fun there. Lips smiled me like a pedophile many times and played many guitar solos just for me (yeah, really. Don't you believe I was the only person in that gig?). Robb's deadbeats were unbelieveble. His playing technique was just great! He wasn't rusty at all. His drums sounded so damn good that I can hear them still after 24 hours which is pretty good from a drummer.

P.S. I was  badly disappointed at Tarot's gig. They really didn't turn me on. There could be two reasons why it didn't happen 1) it was raining cats and dogs and I was fuckin' freezing or 2) They really suck nowdays. I don't really believe in the second choise. The setlist just didn't warm me enough.
P.P.S. Anvil is the second band ever which have played my favourite songs in their gig. They played only 1 new song few ''newer'' and the rest was right from the 80's (<3). The first band which played almost my every favourite songs was Guns N' Roses in year 2006 at Hartwall Areena, Helsinki.

This summer is even crueler than I thought

The first day of Sauna Open Air is behind. Today is the second day of it. Yeasterday was awesome! Thanx to Mariam with whom I saw KISS for the very first time. We didn't even wait for the gig and still we managed our way in the second row right in front of Gene.Pretty cool, huh? Like we always say 'Don't wait for gigs 'cause you're still gonna be in the front rows when you're with us'. I hope Mariam enjoyed the gig as much as I did.
Steel Panther rocked also. They've got so much energy and their songs fit in Finland's summer in some ways. The top of their gig was their encore. They played just one song in the encore. I must say that I went almost nuts when Michael Starr said that they're gonna play Paradise City. It was almost as good and crazy as if it was played by GN'R. The orginal one.
The 69 Eyes' gig sucked and badly. I've never seen that bad gig from they. So I'm not gonna talk about it more.

Back to KISS. They really blowed my mind. I didn't expect that they would be in good shape but their condition was lot better than most of the bands which have a long carieer behind. I'm glad that they didn't play some festival gig. It was just like if they would have been playing at some huge arena. They did all their wire tricks and had lots of pyros. The gig was visually very impressive and beautiful. It was totally once in a lifetime gig. You don't wanna be disappointed in their second gig 'cause it not might be as good as the first one.

As I said before today is the second day of Sauna Open Air which is a three day festival. Today I'm gonna party with Anvil and Tarot. Then I can die happily again.

It's Cruel Summer

The rock n' roll summer has began. Again one year school is left behind and few more are ahead. Maybe someday I'll be something or just some dude who's unemployed. Sounds like a plan, doesn't it? Can you believe that I really passed all my courses? I didn't have to retake any of them! I'm so proud of myself that I can't describe it in words. But maybe you get it or not.

I can't wait 'til Thursday! Then begins a three day festival Sauna Open Air. I'm gonna be there all those three days and see KISS, Anvil, Ratt etc. I really look forward to see KISS and Anvil.
Why it isn't Thursday already? I'm gonna go crazy cause of the suspension soon. When Sauna Open Air is over I'll start to wait August and Sonisphere festival and Ankkarock. I just don't wanna think that far 'cause my school starts again day after Ankkarock in 16th day. That is so depressing. I just have to think something else now. The school just ended today and I'm already thinking when it starts again. I have best brain work of all time. I know it. Now on my brain will hang on a rack and I'll only think am I a turnip or a cabbage. Wanna join me?
