Buenos Aires, Argentina

1.3.08 Buenos Aires, Argentiina






Heräilin siinä ja söin aamiaiseksi jotain crackereita..Lähdettiin käymään venuella soundcheckissä. Siellä meille tarjottiin syötäväksi pihviä ja ranskanperunoita. Soundcheckin jälkeen päätettiin piipahtaa paikallisessa Hard Rock kahvilassa ostamassa tuliais paitoja. (Toisin sanoen puhdasta päälle..alkaa nimittäin vaatteet loppua..)Sen jälkeen mentiin takaisin hotellille keräämään voimia. Tuli nukuttua pikku päikkärit.






Illan konsertti oli isoin tällä kiertueella. Paikalla oli 4100+ innokasta fania. Oli todella kuuma soittaa..Olin kauttaaltaan hiessä. Paita oli täysin läpimärkä. Vaihdoin encoreihin kuivan paidan, mutta neljän biisin aikana sekin ehti kastua täysin..Keikan jälkeen nähtiin onnekkaita faneja ja jaettiin nimmareita. Illan pääteeksi käytiin pyörähtämässä paikallisessa rokkibaarissa. Oli mukava ja leppoisa meno. Kiitos Argentiina ja toivottavasti näemme pian.






03/02/08 Buenos Aires, Argentina






I woke up and ate some crackers for breakfast…We went to the venue to have a sound check. There we had some steak and fries to eat. After that we decided to visit a local Hard Rock Café. We bought some shirts as a souvenirs..( clean shirts for the rest of the tour..)Then we headed back to the hotel to gather some strength.






Tonight´s concert was the biggest on this tour. There were 4100+ eager fans to enjoy the show. It was really hot to play. My shirt was soaking wet. I changed my shirt for the encores, but after 4 songs it was totally wet as well..After the show we met few lucky fans and gave autographs..Finally we went to this local rock bar to have beers. We had a great time. It was really cool! Now, I want to thank Argentina for the hospitality and good time we had! See you soon! Until then, I remain yours.

hello!! I was there and this gig was awesome!! The best gig i`ve ever seen, hope you´ve enjoyed it such as we. What do you think about people in Argentina? Please, ask Marko to forgive us for the flying bottle, it was just a kid who thought he was funny, but actually all of us thought he was a jerk!! Well, we hope seeing you around here again and please keep your promise!! (it was tony´s promise actually - he said that you´ll come back as soon as possible). Thank you very very much for giving us that memorable moment.
Sorry for my bad English, hope you can undestand it!!

Hey Elias!! I want to thank you, Tommi, Marko, Tony and Henkka for the time you made us live on last saturday night.
It was more than a show, even more than a GREAT show, it was plainly out of this planet!!
After the show I was speechless in all ways, words didn't came to my voice because of screaming and shouting the whole night, and because I couldn't realize you were here after the so long wait, and because I was there :), I felt just too happy man!!, and I know for sure that almost everyone felt the same.
So, thanks again, wish you the best, and hope to see you soon!! ;)
Kiitos!!!

Elias! Thank you a lot for the great show you performed last Saturday! It was my first concert and I will never forget it! Send my regards to Tony, Marko, Tommy and Henkka!! Thanks for coming to Argentina, I´m sure that our people did not dissapoint you at all, did it? You are very devoted to your fans, that´s why you are the best! Keep on going!! And come back to Argentina soon, we´ll be waiting for you!

Rodrigo said...

We surprised you, didn't we? I guess you did too. The show was simply FANTASTIC! It was better than we could all imagine, so I want to thank you for it. There was only one little small complain: You didn't play Replica. After The Cage, everybody kept on screaming for Replica, but I gues YOU'LL HAVE TO PLAY IT next time you come to Argentina. I hope you enjoyed the visit to my country, and I hope your manager gave you the gift I deliver to him. (Oh, yes, I'm the guy who gave him the wine and the Argentinian flag. Better you drink it). Anyway, you're welcome to come here whenever you want, and you'll always recieve the hospitality and love from the fans and the people in general. The experience of having you here was simply great. I hope you keep on enjoying the rest of the tour.

Greetings from Argentina!

Ps: Last Sunday I was at the door of the hotel since 10 o'clock 'till 3 pm and I had to leave. Then I was told you came down at 4:30, so I lost the chance to thank you in person. Next time I'll be there to recieve you!!!

Quito said...

It was a really good show, guys. The sound was a bit loud for that particular place, so sometimes you couldn't hear very well (last album's songs in particular), but the set was good and Tony did a great job as a frontman.

I hope you enjoyed as much as we did.

Best regards.

Cecilia said...
