Idols in life:Neil Armstrong. (The first man to walk on the moon, or an obscure patch of desert in states, as some people claim).
Life philosophy:Live and let live.
Place you would like to go:Space.
What makes you laugh:Tickling.
First record you bought:Me and my brother pestered our father into buying the Rainbow album "Long live rockґnґroll". The first that I bought with my own money was probably Iron Maiden "Killers" or Black Sabbath "Mob rules". Canґt remember which.
All time top 5 albums:Rainbow: Long Live RockґnґRoll, Black Sabbath: Heaven and Hell, Judas Priest: Painkiller, Thin Lizzy: Live ґnґDangerous, Deep purple: Burn. And then thereґs a hell of a load of other albums that I like as much as these.
Personal highlight with Nightwish:The album "Once" and the success that kept on growing and surpassing all our expectations.
Best Nightwish show so far:Thereґs been way too many great shows for me to pick just one. Greatest recently in 2005 were probably Wacken Germany, Hammersmith England, Hartwall arena Helsinki Finland just to mention a few.
Killing time on tour:Books, movies, videogames, occasional drink?
Preparation for a show:Oh yeah! The occasional drink.
Strangest experience on tour:Hey, itґs all strange!
Worst nightmare on stage:Losing the voice.
Worst nightmare in general:Something bad would happen to my family when Iґm away, and couldnґt do anything.
Favorite Nightwish song:The Siren.
Favorite band/musician:I donґt have an actual favourite anymore, but Black Sabbath and the way Tony Iommi wrote his riffs have definetely influenced the way I see music and play myself.
Favorite book:Yep, The lord of the rings. Is this a cliche or what?
Favorite drink:Lager beer
Favorite food:Finnish sausage called "lenkki"
Favorite movie:Still the original Star Wars Trilogy.
Favorite TV show:I think that the TV is just a natural extension of a DVD-player or a game console. Otherwise itґs basically a waste of time. Iґll still go for the Babylon 5. There might be something better these days, but this one made an impact on me.
Dumbest question you have ever been asked:Would you give me your own and your bandmates birthdates, adresses and phonenumbers?
