Re: Spaceballs 2! Clerks 2!
It has probably been canned. The last I heard was Mel Brooks was toying with the idea of making a TV series, but that was a while ago. With his wife (Anne Bancroft) passing away recently, I don't think we'll be seeing any movie projects from him in a while (apart from the upcoming movie version of t...

Re: LIFE=Destiny, Free Will, Chance, Coincidence,Karma, or Luck?
Everything is cause and effect. A certain outcome may appear to be coincidental, but that is merely because the factors deciding the outcome are so manyfold and so complex, not to mention not always obvious or visible. Take for example the throwing of a die. To us it would appear that whatever resul...

Re: Gigs in China?
Are you refering to the gig in Hong Kong or the one in Taiwan, or both? I wouldn't consider either to be China proper (Hong Kong having a high degree of autonomy and the status of Taiwan being, well, disputed, to say the least.) It's not unheard of that western bands perform in mainland China - Roxe...

Re: Blogs
I don't have a blog, but I've been meaning to start one. I just have to figure out what I should write about first. Writing about myself would just be silly, not to mention quite dull. Politics perhaps? I dunno if I have anything to say that isn't already being said elsewhere, though. I do enjoy rea...

Does your partner have to be a metalhead?
Strago posted something in another topic that gave me the idea for this topic. Is it an absolute must that your boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse/alien prober has to like metal? Would you absolutely not under any circumstances date a person who doesn't like metal? And if so, uhm, why? It just strikes me a...

Re: last gig
Last gig...Kotipelto solo, about a year ago. Jens on keyboards and Lauri Porra (pre-Stratovarius) on bass. No opening act and barely any people at the gig (it was poorly advertised), which in a way was nice, since you could get up pretty close to the action. Too long ago for me to remember the setli...

Re: What audio player do you use?
I use foobar2000 when using Windows. It doesn't consume as much resources as WMP or WinAmp. I have a tendency to have 10 or so programs running at once, so if the music player consumes as few resources as possible, all the better.
For video I use VLC or Mediaplayer Classic.

Re: George W. Bush has finally gone completely crazy.
Really, my main problems with George W. Bush are his environmental policies and how he has chosen to conduct the war on terror. I believe I have explained my views on the war on terror at length in other topics, so here's the extremely short version: By invading Iraq to get rid of non-existent WMDs,...

I like plenty of artists who aren't particularly metal. Heck, Chris Rea is probably my favourite guitarist, and he's so not metal it's not even funny.

And about the "preference" to use the left or right hand. You really can't fight against it, it's something that comes with you when you are born. Hogwash!
