Re: Jörg Farewell Tour
It's sad to see Jörg stepping aside, as he has been such a "cornerstone" along the band's turbulent path. But if he sees fit to call it a day, I'm sure they have found a skinbeater to match the band and their music. Just to avoid any confusion about his "retirement plan": "Jörg Michael has announced...

Re: Some extremely bad news

Which means that the prognosis will be good and he should be back behind his drumkit quite soon. Wishing...

Re: Finland is the New Japan [NSFW]
Heh, nice remix & video! This track "Oi Beibi" was a huge radio hit back in 1989 in Finland. Raptori's debut album sold over 80 000 units in 1989-90. But in order to get the point, you really need to understand the sexually abrasive yet humorous lyrics.
