Fuckin' fantastic! :rocker:
And I got Dirk's pick too! :party:

As Voodomaster mentioned, Henjo got injured and they found a replaicement from the Finnish tribute band. Kai explained the situation right after the first song and hoped they could still deliver a good show. And they did. The setlist kicked ass, the band was on fire and they had great fun on stage, especially Kai and Kasperi who really enjoyed playing and performing infront the Finnish audience. Hell, as I was in front row I managed to reach out and touch Kai's hand just for a sec. :D

Absolutely amazing, even though I was slightly dissapointet that Henjo couldn't make it, so it kinda took a minor part of the feeling away as the wibe in the show would have meen more complete with Henjo. But still, I think Kasperi gave an extra spark to the band's performance, so why am I even complaining about it. Dirk and especially Dan did their job well too, you could see sweat flying all around when Dan was hitting his cymbals. :tongue:

I still can't express how much I enjoyed it. :party:

As a sidenote, Henjo Richter wasn't playing in Helsinki, because he fell down the stairs on a ferry. He was replaced by a cover band guitarist Kasperi Heikkinen and people have said he did a great job with a little time to prepare and practise. I wasn't able to see this show cause I'm not old enough to get in that club called Tavastia and the show was on Monday, which is about the suckiest day for a gig.

Aye, the place wasn't even sould out because of that.

Which reminds me, Kai's speeches were absolutely killer too. I think it was in the sing-along part of Heavy Metal Universe when Kai said that "I know it's Monday and everybody has to go to work tomorrow morning and blaa blaa blaa but hey, we can still throw a party!! So give me another heavy metal universe!!"

And even though the place wasn't really packed, I think Kai was still happy with the audience.

(I added a brief review to the first post and changed the set list a bit, Valley Of The Kings was in the first encore before Somewhere Out In Space, instead of being before Rebellion In Dreamland.)
