 - Pointless Questions for power metallers

 

 

1. Did you grow up in a family with a tradition for involvement in music, where, for instance, each family member played their own instrument?
No, I didn't. I'm the only one in our whole family who plays an instrument and has other artistically talent like painting or writing.

 
2. What is the first memory you have of music?
The first memory was a band called the Beatles. I loved their music and nothing has changed.

 
3. First album you got?
The Beatles - the blue album.

4. Things in your parent’s collection that you still enjoy listening to?
There is nothing that I enjoy in their collection.

5. Most important artist/band of all time?
Motorhead. I love their music and the way they behave is really cool, because that's Rock'n Roll with on good and bad.

6. And album?
”Overkill” by Motorhead.

7. Name any song that you think should never have been recorded?
I think it's a matter of taste and that's all. Every musician, no matter what kind of music he plays, has put his best into making a CD. It’s hard and it costs a lot of money at the same time, so I think I'm not in the position to criticize any other musician or band, because of a song I don't like.  

8. Name a song that makes you cry?
”Overkill” by Motörhead.

9. Best album(s) in 2002?
”Killing the dragon” by DIO.

10. And the worst?
I’d have to answer like I did in question 7.

 

11. Music for a romantic evening with a person of the opposite (or same) sex?
A sampler of metal ballades or classical music, Bach for example.

12. Three albums you'd bring if you stranded on an unpopulated island?
1.”The Blue Album” by The Beatles.

2. “Overkill” by Motörhead.

3. “Rainbow Rising” by Rainbow.

13. What is currently on your stereo?

Dio: “Killing the dragon.”

14. Most embarrassing record in your collection?
I have no embarrassing record. I listen to a lot of music in my car, and with me I only have CD’s that I like.

 

15. Most underrated band around?
CHINCHILLA

16. ...And most overrated?
There are a lot of bands who are overrated, but that's okay, it's business.

17. Name one of your songs you think everyone should hear?
”When the sand darkens the sun,” cause of the actual situation!!!
