Dessel, Belgium



28.6.08 Dessel, Belgia



Kävimme soittamassa Graspop Metal Meeting-festareilla. Edellispäivän aamuna lennettiin Brysseliin ja sieltä ”pakulla” Desseliin. Olimme vasta iltasella perillä, joten taas oli pitkä matkustus. Keikka oli vallan mukava. Soitettiin päälavalla ja Kiss oli pääesiintyjänä. Ihmisiä oli aivan tolkuttomasti paikalla, varmaan joku 30 tuhatta. En osaa sanoa tarkkaan, mutta enpä ole aiemmin noin suurelle määrälle ihmisiä soittanut. Turvatoimet takalavalla oli mittavat, johtuen Kissin läsnäolosta. Keikan jälkeen meillä oli nimmarisessio ja hengailtiin hiukan Korpiklaanin poikain kanssa. Kävimme ”oman porukan”kanssa katsomassa Kissin keikan, ja kivaa oli. Vielä jaksoivat Gene ”simmottis” ja Paul ”stämmöttis” heilua..”It´s good to be....ME.” Tunnin yöunilla jatkettiin matkaa Suomeen Tuska Festivaaleille…



06/28/08 Dessel, Belgium



We had a show at Graspop Metal Meeting-Festival in Belgium. We flew to Brussels the day before and from there we drove to Dessel in a van. We were there late at night. The show was awesome. We played at the main stage and Kiss was headlining. There were so much people, probably around 30 thousand. I´ve never played for so many people. The security at the backstage was really tight, because of Kiss I suppose. After the show we had a signing session and we hung out with the guys of Korpiklaani a bit. We also went to see the Kiss concert. It was nice. “It´s good to be…ME…”. So with one hour´s sleep we headed to Finland to play at Tuska Festival…Sure had some good time…

Sounds like you guys are having a really great time with all the festivals, hope it's not too stressful for you all. I only wish I could be there to see you guys playing...

Wishing a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you for today!!! I would love to say that in Finnish, but I'm afraid I've forgotten how to say it. Hope you had a nice time turning 33.

I'm sorry I couldn't write you on the day, but I was in a journey to the city of San Sebastian... And the whole time I stayed there I was singing to myself the song by SA haha!
