I think this is a wonderful idea&hope it continues throughout the tour!

It seems the guys are having a great time, not only playing to the fans&mingling with them, but also with each other: the shopping, eating, being a tourist. It all seems very awesome, IMO!

Lets hope this good times continue. Happy band makes for great shows, I imagine!

Let's hope TT feels better, though--he said something about having a fever

Change in climates can be abit hectic, though and lets not forget jet-lag.

Here's to a fun, safe&happy tour all around&for everyone involved!

yeah, i really like it. i enjoy when bands do things like that, so fans can know how it is for the bands they love and what they experience while on tour. i cant wait till he starts writing when he reaches america!

I hope, that they write a lot after the Hungarian show as well. It's good to read the stories. It seems, that Lauri is now a real band member, it looks, as if he has good time with the others.

I agree I think its great that timo write about the tour

keep up the great work and stay metal!!

Agreed. I love to read the tour diary, it rules!

yeah baby

but the info. about chile was almost nothing...

Let´s just hope that TT and maybe others have time to write there something in the future too. Coz the tour is so long...

Also TK has wrote some answers to his guestbook now.

OH, I fogot about the guestbooks. I'll visit them today&see what people wrote about the show there.
TT has not put an entry in the Tour Diary for the past couple days--I hope to God it was not a plan that fizzles out over time. I know there will be days when he is too tired, busy or has better things to do (I'm SURE thats possible) , but a few days out of a week, I'm sure TT can jot down a few sentences of his adventures in foreign lands&the merrymaking and music, thereof!

lets hope so

TT has developed a sense of humor---I almost laughed my ass off about that "nest of Evil"&"Djangoism" as if it were a weird perverted religion/cult! He was talking about that wild&crazy roadie&his mis-adventures and parties, etc!


Hmmmmmmmmm, Sounds fun.....
Damn, I wish I was down there!

Nahhhhh, he couldn't take it! I get :crazy2: when I'm drinking!

well, booze sort of does that to everyone

Damn, TT has not written in days in the tour diary. Hope all is OK? Hope he did not fall off the wagon totally, or get sick or something
Well, I guess he has better things to do. I guess we will get some reviews the next couple of days from the VERY Lucky members of this Forum that got to "shake their booty" with the StratoGuys. <-----me, the GREEN part (WHO says idol worship is bad? Hypocrites!) OR, maybe it just depends on WHO the idolizer is? Selective? Now, THATS a depressing thought!

:headbang:

Maybe when TT gets a chance he can let us know how the Fires are Burning......

I think, that they just don't have Internet connection. That's all.

But now there´s a long story from Sao Paulo. Have to say TT sounds a very normal TT with his universal thoughts. But TK seemed to have sth other to do as going to sauna with a couple band members.

Yeah--he broke the sauna! Oh-Oh!
I know nothing about saunas, but if you pour cold water on something hot(like glass or ceramic)it could have some explosive results!
Sounds like TK giving JJ competition in the destructive division!
At least the toilets were spared!

Son...relax, stress isnt healthy.

Maybe as a former alcoholic he is cured now, that he can drink without going back on it 24-7. Like a smoker being able to sit in a smoky pub and inhale the fumes.

But Timo, maybe you can add the three words "in my opinion.." to those thoughts, to keep people happy though I personally enjoy reading them and agree with 80% of it. I found the Manual of the Warrior of Light to be genderbiassed ("The Warrior" is always male for some reason... guess the author entered the world with a dick ) although full of some good stuff, but some I found contradictory to my own idea of human dignity. He did grow up in a Catholic country after all.

Enough of my ranting... or 5thT will start my fan club

I liked what TT wrote. Of course, I am an environmental conscious person anyway. Save the Whales-keep Alaska clean, etc.
As for "Warrors of Light" idea--I liked that, too. A female can be a warrior, too. A fighter for whats good in the world. History has many examples!
And, as for TTs alcoholism--there are going to be slip ups. In such an atmosphere, around the pressure of meeting people, playing before large crowds--he is going to be tempted. As long as it does not happen too many times&he realizes what he is doing, he can get himself back on track. Its not that we "approve" of him falling off the wagon--its just he is human with a weakness&we have to understand. Much like an overeater, or drug addict, or anything that ties us to something that is not good for us.

As for the God&Jesus part, I agree a person does not have to go to a church to be a believer, or even a religious person. Loving Nature is a type of religion because its part of God's Universe. And, if we do not take care of the environment/Nature we will reap the whirlwind.

Its great that he&the band are having a good time together&enjoying their trip and playing to the people. Hope their enjoyment continues.

Well, as it is a tour diary - and diaries are supposed to contain our thoughts - he wrote things he was thinking about. Surely he had seen or talked about stuff like that and made he wonder about the way mankind is destroying the world and how disrespectful they can be with Nature.
Of course you don't need to agree with what he said, but at least you should respect it... as all point of views.
People also don't need to follow TT's head once we all have got ours with our own thoughts inside it.

And about shouting up and just playing music, why don't you buy those japanese toys, that can play music (you can even choose which instrument - guitars, drums, flute - ain't that cool?!) and that speaks previous recorded words of your preference?
Or maybe buy a dog that can play the guitar... oh, it would be interesting...

Yeah! We are all bound to disagree with TT about something, if it's favourite breakfast cereal or whether we should save nature or keep screwing it etc...

I don't see TT drinking as a slip-up, he's made a decision that he can drink that one time and handle it - that shows courage and self-awareness and self-trust, which is great.

I think, that the lyrics is nearly as important as the music itself.

They are indeed!

We all disagree with each other on lots of things--its how people disagree that count. If we agree to disagree! It seems if anyone disagrees with TT, that is bad&if we go overboard with agreement that is bad, too!
I just say how I feel&be myself. Just by coincidence, I agree with largely what he said.

I agree too with you Pete and BEG.

Also I liked what TT wrote about nature and religions. They´re good thoughts which TT seems always to point them. That´s his message for the ppl in this planet. And what Cristiane quoted to 5thT, I have to say that´s said great. Thanks Cristiane.

But, I would like to ask 5thT sausage what the hell do you know about humankind then?
