666 - the last MESSage

Home sweet home

Hello again,
I think this is the most boriest diary ever. I also think the tour wasn't a real tour - felt like in army. We never knew what was happening and where we were going and these rumours were absolutely the worst thing there, and it was the tour manager's fault. He just spred negative feeling and kept saying - "this is fucked up - we are going home". Hmm, he was right, the tour was fucked up and we went home but that same thing last whole week. Almost in every 5 hours we got a new rumour and that ruined the atmosphere. And what was the best part - after the first gig we got information that Swedish band called "All Ends" and Machine Men will be the crew on the tour. We hit the road without pay and then we should carry the stuff of the all bands - FUCK OFF! I don't understand why they organize this kind of tours... It was absolutely too expencive - too many bands - too small venues (to get money enough) and even the venues would have been sold out - the tour would have rolled in minus budget anyway. I still think about why we took a part on this fucking tour... We lost a change to have a good tour this spring because of that. What have we done wrong that lot of things going upside down...? I saw on those 7 gigs that most of the people didn't have our albums but they liked our music - even the most of the people came to see "Die Apokalyptischen Reiter" and "Finntroll" -then we get this kind of bullshit. Do we deserve this...? I think we deserve better that we could have a change to give our best and everything for people who come to see us. It's not fun to play with bad equipment - without soundchecks and keep all crap on our shoulder and all this FOR FREE. Only thing which worked - was my asshole but it was the same brown shit, you know. I think now you got some kind of a vision about the tour, thank you and good night - we love you all.

Hello!

Klara Vappen to all!
Here we are in the Berlins backstage and gig is starting pretty soon. All this tour has been total mess. Our busses havent been paid so gig in Adelsheim must cancelled because they didnt get their money on time and also 6 bands is just too much and I think it is the biggest reason to this mess. Many backlines, too less workers, no soundcheck time (for us) and only half an hour to play time and also we have been roadies to this tour for the merchandise and the backline and I pressume that we are only band who dont get any money on this tour... I dont know. Maybe we should come back to Finland and go to work and jerking. Actually it is possible for every day because for all reasons. Money is the biggest. VITTU KU VITUTTAA! that is the most used sentence in this tour and VITTU is easiest most used word here. Well here we are now conquering the Europe! Yeah! Really! Fuck! but we will rocckk these german fuckers tonight and every other nights too if there are coming these nights some more!!

Hi from the road!

We arrived yesterday to Belgium. From the start there were problems. Jarno and Eero lost their luggage and no one knows where their bags are. Jani is lost somewhere at the Bryssels airport 50 km from tonights venue, without any phone or money ofcourse. Hopefully he arrives in time so we can have a show. So far everything is messed up but that's cool!

Hello!

Here we'll write all the nasty stories and maybe something else too what goes on the Earthshaker Roadshock tour. I'll try to write here as often as possible, perhaps even every day. See ya!
