Did you know that…
Are you crazier in real life as on the stage?

Lauri: I think we behave the same on or down stage, we are crazy guys in every sense!

If you have only 24 hours of life, what would you do during that time?

Talking about parties…
Who was the major celebrity with the one you’ve been on a party?

Aki: With James Hetfield, in fact, he approached to talk to me in a party, was a complete shock!
