Interesting and funny interview with Lauri in Hamburg:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqOqKsl5fEE

Nice Strato & Dylan quotes, sir

I'm surprised he knows Ein Fall für zwei, always thought we don't export anything besides Derrick Not that there's much of a difference.

that was really nice... talking about his family, would really like to hear something from his great(-)grandfather on the next strato-album...

Nice interview, kind of dumb questions from the interviewer (3 wishes? is this your first time here? c'mon) but still ok.

Lauri rocks!!!!

Thanks for sharing it!

Well, at least the wishes-question gave us more insight than the "Do you also write music for Stratovarius?" one

Most of us know that many interviewers tend to ask some pretty basic or just downright stupid questions, only a select few ask the real pertinent ones.

Hey, you gotta love those old german detektiv-series. But my favourite is die Kühe

Hilarious especially if you speak German.

Reminds me of the Derrick spoofs we had years ago, here they're talking about their middle names:

In Finland we started with Der Alte...
Nice interview and hah hah the Finnish version of diesen Klassiker

The best in the whole interview is : NO RELIGION.

Imma change the thread title to "Interviews with Lauri & Matias in Hamburg":

http://www.the-pit.de/interview/article ... ruar-2011/

After the third "fucking" I thought I read an interview with Mr. Laiho, you know

Are we German fans really that impolite? Guess so. Matias dude, be sure I'm gonna talk ONLY with you AND in English when I get the opportunity

... or maybe I won't, since the level of impoliteness would be the same

I'd add Jens to the title if I'd be allowed to Well he has to go without, here's one with Jens & Matias:

It's a really interesting one imo.

Thanks for posting those interviews I can't read

@ the video one: awwwww haha that interviewer boy doesn't move at all

well in case you receive some really weird stuff from my best friend Mr. Google Translator, tell me and I'm gonna translate it for you, no problem!
I only can't afford the time to do the whole lot in advance.

mocobhc I'll try to read them

Think about how poor Jens feels, he's been with this band for a long time and he still doesn't know Finnish

You mean he didn't Finnish learning it?

hey guys, just a short thing about the lauri interview: it´s part of a web2.0-project, so if you want other questions in the interviews, just send them the metal-trails-team on their website xD they asked userquestions in the interview with helloween ^^

Here's another pretty long interview with Lauri, starting after Darkest Hours, interrupted by Infernal Maze and ending with Against the wind: http://www.lamiradanegra.com/?p=6884

Interview in Spanish, but Lauri's original answers in English thus one can guess what has been asked
I spent my last two weeks in Dominican Republic and heard loads of Spanish, but I couldn't make anything out of this stuff if it wasn't for his answers There's one question I still wonder about cause Lauri's answer was a bit "huh?", starting around 32:50, anyone up to translate this one for me? Would me very much appreciated

Let's see what I can listen to :O

Update:

He said something like

"Well there's something really though/sad about music, which is something that has happened to many bands: that overnight change, from being successful onde day and having thousands of people @ their shows and the next day... being... well no-bo-dy, right?"

The guy is obviously thinking of bands that don't have a loyal fan base

Thank you very much Susie Now his answer makes some more sense to me.

Your welcome, and yeah haha I liked Lauri's anwer right there hahaha

I would have most likely done the same thing as I believe the question to be asinine.

Another one with Lauri

Lauri seems to have cousins all over the world


"Maybe we'll be back to Italy on fall..."

Italy = Europe = tour
:banana1: :banana2: :banana1: :banana2: :banana1: :banana2: :banana1: :banana2:

So... the show in my city got cancelled...




Can anybody adopt me .... for that tour?

That's alright, hopefully they tour somewhere near me

Wow that sucks Especially when it's cancelled because of some elusive reasons... I mean if they'd still be ill, it would still suck but at least be understandable. But low sales, in South America, c'mon...
