Budapest



20.11.07 Budapest



Heräsin aamulla ja katsoin bussin ikkunasta ulos. Tunnistin keikkapaikan jostain Joe Satrianin DVD:stä. Joku kaverihan siellä oli jo aamulenkillä. Tonyhan se oli! Unkarilaisethan ovat suomalaisten sukulaiskansa. En tiedä miksi, mutta kun lavalle astui ja katsoi yleisöön tuntui kuin melkein suomessa olis ollut. Sitä tunnetta on vaikea selittää. Keikkapaikalla ihmiset olivat erittäin ystävällisiä. Pitopalvelun tytöt sanoivat oikein käsipäivää ja esittelivät kaikki valmistavansa ruoat erikseen. Soundcheckiä ei ehditty tehdä, koska matka Italiasta oli niin pitkä. Kaupunkia en ehtinyt nähdä laisinkaan. Mitä nyt bussin ikkunasta näin Burger Kingin.



Keikalle oli tullut faneja pitkälti yli toistatuhatta. Taas oli eturivissä lappuja, joissa luki ”anna plektra”. Hyvä ideahan tuo on. Ennen keikkaa meillä oli pienimuotoinen fanitapaaminen. Oli taas hyvä keikka. Keikan jälkeen tavattiin faneja ja jaettiin nimmareita.



Vessanpöntöt täällä on vähän erinäköisiä kuin suomessa. En tiedä mikä järki.



11/20/07 Budapest



I woke up in the morning and took a look outside from the bus window. I recognized the place from some dvd of Joe Satriani. There was some guy jogging already. It was Tony! We finnish and the hungarians are relative nations. I don´t know what it was but when we walked up on stage I took a look to the audience it was almost like being in Finland. This is something that is really hard to explain. At the venue everybody was so kind. The catering girls introduced them self. Also they introduced every food they had made for us. We didn´t have the time to do the soundcheck since the trip from Italy was so long. I didn´t get to see the city at all. I only saw Burger King from the bus window.



There were maybe 15 hundred fans at the show. In the first row there were these signs again that said “Give me a pick”. Well, I think it´s a good idea. Before the show we had a fan meeting again. And the show was just great again! After the show we met some fans and did some autographs and photos.



The toilet seats are a little bit different here than in Finland. I don´t know what´s the deal.

Et sentään ajatellut räjäyttää tuollaista vessanpönttöä siellä? Jens Johanssonhan teki aikoinaan niin juuri Budapestissa. ;D

Say WHAT?! We (I.e. a crowd of about 25 people) waited at your tourbus until 1:30am, when finally a guy came out saying you guys aren't coming, and gave the whole crowd about 3 picks...

Hi Evil!
Your concert was really, really great at Petőfi Hall, in Budapest. I agree with the Hungarian fans speaking before me. It was an unforgettable experience. You are great musicians and you are so straightforward with the fans. I say thank you for it boys! Take care of yourselves and come again at what soon! =)
Love,
Scathach

Have fun in the next concerts! I'll be here reading about it and making non sense comments anyway...

Hi!

The concert here in Budapest was really really great. I'm still under its effect. Please, come back soon.
(Btw what's so strange with the Hungarian toilets? I know it's a silly question, but I was just wondering.)

Greetings to all of you, guys.
Have a good time during the tour!
