Para muchos fans yo creo que si Tarja se reconciliara con Nightwish (no volver al grupo) A mas de uno le daría una alegría *-* Pero dudo que alguna vez pueda pasar.... =(

Nueva entrada del diario: (esta vez junto a Kovalainen)

Well, there hasn`t been happening that much since the last time Jukka posted the blog. We decided to take a 4-day break from rehearsing the songs `cause there isn`t much we can do to them anymore. Even though every time we dive into them something small comes up; new drum fill here, a new bass line there, new orchestral arrangement hook somewhere, etc. It`s just that we`ve been rehearsing and toying with the songs so much (gotta believe it, just look at the photos of this blog) that everyone here`s having a bloat.

Also since Marco is busy doing his own things until tomorrow and Anette not joining the camp until in 2 weeks, there wasn`t much else for us three to do than..



...To form a new band called The Myötähäpeä. This amazing group of mind-blowing virtuosity combined with a versatile repertoire includes such names as Heikki Kovalainen of F1 Lotus ([Tienes que estar registrado y conectado para ver este vínculo] on the drums, and Mr. Toni Virtanen ([Tienes que estar registrado y conectado para ver este vínculo] on the vocals. Jukka took over the keys, whereas Emppu and me swapped between guitar and bass to make it a real challenge. Jamppa Lautamäki of the Nightwish website-fame filled the first open backing vocals - position, but there`s still room for more behind the mics. Our setlist now consists of two classics of two bands we`ve been fans of forever (Sukset by Popeda & For Whom The Bell Tolls by Metallica) but with an intro & outro, Toni`s magnificent speaks in between the songs, a bass solo and fireworks we will be able to put up a fantastic full-lenth rock show anytime, anywhere.

Well, we still have that ballad to rehearse, there`s nothing like seeing a lighter-sea of 80000 people swaying gently to "Nothing Else Matters" or "Winds Of Change".

Check out the video of our first ever rehearsals below. Not quite on the level of the originals, but at least we had fun!

Heikki & the gang had to leave on Sunday morning but Toni stayed with us for another fishing- and poker-filled day. He fell in love with this place, and might be joining us later on for some songwriting sessions. Maybe the upcoming Apulanta - tunes will have their breeding here..?



After introducing Heikki to the decadent world of bandlife and rock `n roll it was his turn to throw us the bait. He had arranged a chance to try out KF2 & KF3 cart racing vehicles in the track of Ylämylly. A horrendously fantastic experience! A surprisingly physical sport, too. Jukka was by far the best driver of us, timing unbelievable lap times in pouring rain. Emppu and Toni also did ok but I was more of a yellow-bellied plug on the track, losing 20sec per lap to Jukka due to the imprisonment in my own survival instinct.



Anyway, it was a great day and a wonderful, new experience! A huge thanks goes to Heikki, Jani and Hästis for organizing this, and for the 2 mechanics, Mikko & Janne who took care of us on the track.



Back to the camp, diving back into the Nightwish songs with fresh fuel in our tanks. There`s been one song which has been giving us loads of trouble during the past weeks. I feel it has great potential but somehow it just doesn`t work as it should. On Tuesday morning we finally nailed it, giving it a whole new guitar / synth riff with a touch of Van Halen and that was the cure. I also rewrote and simplified the lyrics to the chorus. A song / album is never fully ready, you just have to stop your journey at some scenic place and enjoy the view.



Autumn is here, enjoy the change & take care everyone!

Top 5 / Week 6



1. The Myötähäpeä

2. Cart Racing with those machines from hell

3. That one bad riff finally cured

5. Timo Rautiainen: En oo keittäny enkä myyny

Pero que grandes son

A ver si lo he entendido,la banda esta consistia en parte invertir los papeles de los diversos musicos? y el proyecto va en serio o solo lo han hecho como algo esporadico en plan coña? por cierto,como se motiva Tuomas a la guitarra,bajo o lo que sea xDDD y Jukka tiene un peculiar modo de tocar el teclado (bueno,comprensible). Por cierto,no se si habreis visto esto,pero lo dejo por aqui que me parece un puntazo:

os... lo de la caja jajaja os lo iba a preguntar por tuenti porque están por todos lados y no tenía ni idea de qué era, aunque todavía no sé mu bien de qué es xDD pero bueno
pues lo de la banda esa supongo que será en plan coña aunque con lo que habla de los directos cualqueira sabe xDD pero vamos que no veo yo a Jukka tocando los teclados así en directo eh?? jajja

A ver señores...es evidente que es todo una coña para echarse unas risas si ya dice tuomas que no se hacen responsables de lo que podamos ver y un piloto de formula uno en una banda nada mas empezar su carrera????va a ser que no,que Heikki aun tiene que dar mucha guerra a Alonsito

respecto a lo del video ese de la caja,lo puso el otro dia San Holopainen en el apartado de videos de NW
