Wie kann man den Mann bitte in einem Kornfeld vergessen????
Ich weiß, dass das jetzt kein Video ist, aber es passt so schön zu deiner Frage, Nini. Das hab ich mal gefunden, hat Perttu in dem alten Forum gepostet:
"Apocalyptica wants to thank with big and warm heart all the amazing people
we saw(and heard!!!) in our shows in the beginning of this month!
It was really amazing to be in all these wild and crazy countries,lots of
fun,sweat and "tears of joy".
and it was very interesting to visit new places,all these cities in Turkey
we never went before,Macedonia,Beirut etc...was so great to visit countries
we've already been and see the people SO happy that we came back and
everyone had SO much fun!!!
We were so happy to see that there's such a huge amount of enthusiasm in
these areas.Whole south-east Europe touched our inner selves(and skins as
well)
except that i'm still a bit like an albino.child of the shadows.
(and this kind of tour-diarhea sounds SO stupid since every concert and all
the people and audiences are SO great and wonderfully lovely and beautifull
that i don't find out now any better way to describe the trip)it was all SO
GREAT!!!
well,yeah..haha..some funny things happened..some that were not so funny.and
even some that are horrible,but overall i think the whole tour was a
wonderful experience for us all.and it seemed that the audience felt pretty
much the same.making memorable sweat together...
so...
funny things: we had fun.
haha
funny parties
haha
great shows!!!
lots of nudity
haha
things that were not so funny:
injuries
autch
quite much happened concerning physical health...
the regular pain is natural and normal for us and we like(love)it.
but now there was some more serious stuff,for example eicca got a bad sprain
to a muscle in his back.and he was not able to move his body for many
days.also one of his fingers got a bad flu
Mikko had bad problems with his arms(which is not very surprising because he
is like a monkey that hits the snare drum louder than any other!!!) but
still,not nice.not at all.otherwise mikko is a very nice guy
Paavo had some cramps all over his body(hmm...???)
...and that is nice thing for us because then we have to massage his
well-trained-body...eh,öh...??????!!!!!!
Antero had little bit hot sometimes under his performing suite.
and i had,well...too many injuries to write down in here(that's not
surprising either.all who knows a bit what kind of a person i am,can easily
imagine that whatever can happen to me,and i mean,Whatever!,.... .)
a bit of summer flu,fever,panic attacs,solid stomachs,sunburns,one mosquito
bite,almost broken rib,2 pairs of ruptured knees.one loosen nail,3
hangovers,many sleepless nights,sea sickness,one moment of fear of the
dark,a fart that we never can forget,
couple of serious controversies about for example what should we eat / what
songs we should play / who will go to the shower first/ should someone go
into the shower for a benefit of whole group / do we all want to watch the
same movie/ do we all want to watch something at all/ is this beer better
than some other/ who the hell ate again all the gummy candies!!(always a big
tragedy) /what country will win the football thing / is Dracula a real
person / why is the microwave not working / who the hell drunk all the
coffee milk / where is the toilet / who will go into the toilet
first(hilfe,hilfe..i'm coming!...ööö...hups) / why is my cello not working /
where is my cello / did anyone see it / does anyone even care / someone has
good temperature in the bed while some other is freezing or melting,so who
is right? and who likes to sleep beside some other.
thing that was horrible:
afterwards it already feels like a distant memory,can already even laugh
about it,but just a bit...
Kullervo's travels in the land of the Lilliputts:
lost in somewhere in the middle of nothing.
after a show in Kavarna(Bulgaria),we had a parties by the Black Sea,great
food etc.
i wanted to go to swim into the sea,but then i hurt my butt into one iron
spike that was standing on the beach.and that was painful.i mean.PAINFUL!!!
after visiting disco and all having nice fun,others dancing and me holding
my ass,we then went to bus,had to leave towards Sofia.
well,yeah..
i was already in my bed.totally tired,ready to sleep when the bus stopped.i
realized that it's the last chance to give one more shower to mother earth
and we all went out the bus to do,well,you know...
so..
hmm..
eh...
ärh..
i had a longer alert than others.so i continued peeing from my,well,you
know...
and the bus continued it's travel.
and f**king hell.WITHOUT ME!!!
first i thought that this must be a very bad joke.then i saw that the bus
had not any intensions to stop.
i tried to run after a bit but my butt...
so,then the lights of the vehicle disappeared.
and..
there..
was..
dark..
and very silent.
wherever i watched,as far as human eyes can see..
there was not a single light.no houses.no lamps..nothing
only endless fields.
well..
i had no mobile phone...(ofcourse,straight from bed)
i had no money...(ofcourse,straight from bed)
no credit cards,no passport,
no jacket
no shoes.and it was not too warm night,and a bit rainy...
i couldn't believe that this had just happened to me..
it felt awful(impossible to describe,but it felt awful!)
i knew that we'd already driven far from previous village..and had no idea
what's ahead...
wuh..
i just had to walk.trying not to fall asleep since i was very very tired.
there were no cars,not a single one,no lights,no birds,only a sign that
Sofia,approximately 500
kilometers...
it went awful
i walked there,can't really remember how long or how much.
well...one can imagine how it feels to walk for a long in a chippy asfalt
road without shoes.not nice.
after a while i then saw a sign of an airport and followed that until i
finally reached it.
it must have had looked weird when someone appears into the gates,with no
clothes,no shoes,no passport to show,no identity,totally wet,looking like a
drunk and narc.
i still wonder that i didn't found myself from a jail.
but that was a reason of a one very very friendly policeman who took me
inside the building.
it was the airport of Varna,the next town.
so,then we began to wonder that what the hell is the situation,who the hell
am i,and is this the sequel for the very succesful Tom Hanks movie.
there came lots of people from airport stuff to look at me.it must have had
look funny when someone's there talking and making "body language"-(because
it was a bit difficult to speak english in the beginning and this story is
more funny with this little extra)-movements of like"me-tarzan...rockband-
bus-peeing from down here...-in the field-bus,flying away-me,continuing
peeing... bus is gone...me alone-dark-scary..walking many
kilometers..me,happy that i found you(and then he hugs the saviors of he's
and they are shocked because this filthy animal touched them..but after we
found the common sound,everyone already loved each others and i was accepted
back into the clan of humans...
but oh gosh.
these people were so friendly!!!can't describe it..seriously! i've never
imagined that in this world could be so friendly and helpfull strangers that
what these people were..ofcourse i didn't remember anyones
phonenumbers..it was really early in the morning,i couldn't go into the
internet since it was on the other side where i couldn't naturally go
without the passport.
so,there was one guy who ran there and back for looking the addresses i gave
to him..
but we didn't find any mobile numbers...
i asked could i buy a helicopter somewhere(well,this is a full joke,but it
make's the story more colourfull) but they had none in the city.
back into the real life: i only could tell them that where our previous
concert was,then they found out who organized the gig,and i don't know for
how many different places they called,but finally someone answered and we
got an information that someone's coming to drive me to Sofia(after
uncertain hours, i couldn't know if i'm ever going to make it into Sofia
before nightfall)
best in this all is that nobody ever i the bus realized that i was left
behind.
until in the morning when these people from promoter-side began to bomb our
manager's phone.
and eicca answered and promoter people asked that do you know where perttu
is...they looked everywhere and were amazed..YES...TRULY!!!Where is
Perttu!!!
(i don't know how many heartattacks that caused in the bus.but luckily i was
already safe.)
so,meanwhile,me-Tarzan(didn't find any Jane's
already had fun with
these UNBELIEVABLY LOVELY AND FRIENDLY PEOPLE
AAAAARRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
they were waiting for me long after their working hours ended.even they had
been awake whole night,same as i...they just wanted to make sure that i will
get the car and all's fine...
such an incredible kindness.
(i will put the pictures of all these my new friends somewhere here into our
website)....i think in these pictures i'm not looking as "ok" as
normally..HAHA!!
finally the car arrived and this lovely police man gave me even he's shoes
to me,that i could walk(because my legs and heels were totally destroyed.)
i will not forget this greatest favour that i've ever got...THANK
YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *sniff*
so,then we drove to Sofia....bumpy road...damaged ass...seven hours...i was
very happy.actually felt like that i'm ready to KILL!!!
arriving in Sofia little bit before the showtime(except that the arena was
not even builded at that time so i got at least few hours to sleep.i didn't
want to see anyone except our tourmanager Uli who helped me after that.but
still prepared to show as normally as i ever could,trying not to collapse
totally.
so,i saw others first time on stage.after all this shit my cello was not
even working in the beginning but i decided that even there would come not a
single sound at all from my sound,i will help the band to make again a
furious show.
furious..yes..
my ass was truly on fire..and legs,everything..but it was still amazing show
and afterwards i collapsed.
it was amazing feeling when all this horror from the
night,shock,stress,tiredness etc exploded at the same time.
but then..
happy end.
this boy is still alive.
i spoke with others,was not even angry forr anyone,since i knew that they
must have had already bad feeling enough concerning this "mistake"...so,what
can you say...?
Shit happens?
or not...
(my ass didn't work for many...many days...ups...)
