Interview Sonata Arctica Part 2 of 3

[whiskeycoloredeyes]

Aw marko is a closet gambler

[andrevery]

mijitooo eliasss te adoroo

[LimeZMusic]

Hahaha, Elias looks so nervous XD

Marko looks like he's just shy. Well.. He was when I saw him as well.. I wish I could have talked to him :/

[dmteply]

Aww did you get his autograph or did you just meet the other guys?

[LimeZMusic]

@dmteply I didn't get an autograph, I just had a conversation with Henkka and Tommy =(

Next time, I guess.

[bellyshelly4]

Yeah fair enough, I didn't talk to them properly, it's probably cause they're so nervous being interviewed. I got like that whenever I had to do a presentation in front of people or whatever.

I wouldn't like their job! Toni is the confident one i think ha :) heck i love them all

[lulalely]

i just talked to tony after the munich show and he was gentle, not shy at all (good for a frontman) but very tired (a hard contrast to the ''on-stage-tony''). it's a pitty i couldn't wait until the other dudes got out of the venue.

[bellyshelly4]

I've just seen them play at prestatyn, wales, tonight, the whole band signed my textile flag and marko looked at me with really cute puppy eyes!!! he's actually gorgeous in the flesh, i had the privilege of being at the very front of the gig right in front of marko hehe.

it's cute how nervous they are here, especially when they sit on their hands.plus it must be hard for them to speak english...

[dmteply]

Yes, Marko is gorgeous, all the time. ;)

I don't think they have trouble speaking English, they're just probably shy in interviews.

[LimeZMusic]

I don't think they have a hard time speaking english, when I met Henkka he had no problem whatsoever. Tommy didn't seem to have a problem, either.

[TheJelena007]

the part for sleeping is so true, we waited 2hrs in front of bus for tony, tommy and elias to wake up and go inside for the gig :)

[rusty456456]

I really like their response to the "dream piece of equipment" question: keep it simple, happy with what I have, etc.

[freshman2008till2011]

Lolz ^.^

[TBZK]

Omg the thing Elias does with his lips is bugging the hell out of me lol

[tcrono]

lol Elieas: I have a PSP...

[TunesInRune]

"How do you keep your sanity on tour?" That is by far the most funny question i have ever heard lol. Oh well, Sonata Arctica rule!

[SoulCollectorInEbony]

DId I dream it or something or did SA ever cover "I Was Made For Loving You"?

[apenhoofd2]

only a live version

[dragonforce2510]

they covered still loving you by the scorpions... that not what u are thinking of?

[lulalely]

i guess they once added a short extract of that song in a live verion of my land

[Fallen4eva]

I think they have trouble answering because they can't find the english words to their finnish thoughts. So cute!!!!

I so want to comb Marko's hair. And when I'm done, to comb Elia's.......

The woman asks stupid questions!!

[flamingstick]

Im pretty sure that thought they're both new and seem boring, they'll open up and become more entertaining and we'll get used to them so we'll like them a lot more.

[NecronLord23]

Marko isn't like new...he is a founding member...

[flamingstick]

my bad he looks way different now, becuase of his hair and facial hair.

[SacredSerenity]

"keep it simple"

Finns are such humble people

[spiritusually]

relax, guys, relax lol

[ibanknight99]

lol marko was thinking hard about the first song

[XSBS]

No, not a swimwear model. lol It was our editor and her photo is under the staff section on our site.

[nibblefroz]

LOL.. they look as if someone yelled at them before the intervew.. XD

[vrambo]

rofl so true XDDD I would die a happy man if i were to meet the whole band

[rzalan13]

I prefer Elias

[fromgiltolast]

elias is good, its just a bummer on jani's departure.... its like not the sonata i once knew.

[philippeporto]

i do not agree that elias sucks.he is a very good guitar player, for sure in the same niveau that all of sonata.

but one cannot say it will be like sonata with jani, because jani was an important part of the soul of sonata.

my opinion is that every time a band looses a central member,it should change the name if they sound is going to change(like black sabbath-heaven and hell).we have no clue how the first studio works with elias will sound like, but if it is not like the stuff before...

[eljipi89]

well here in peru the concert was on monday and elias played pretty good... but marko was just sad and angry! i think they fight before the concert(but he played very well 2!!

[panchazo]

Sonata Totally rocks!

the concert on saturday here in Argentina was umbelivable. and no need to say that ellias and marko were amazing

[Deudax]

too much vodka kills the brain cells lol

[katyta00]

for the same reason you should stop taking vodka

[NatySpaghetti]

I saw them on Friday and everyone was amazing! Elias played really well, we all gave them all a warm welcome, if it wasnt for him there wouldnt be a tour at all!

[conchademaraca5]

COME ON MAN, jani come back please

[vulgoremetal]

ive seen a sonata arctica concert and elias is pretty good...

[KAEMELLI]

elias sucks jani was better

[derantikrist]

Jani is gone, it was his own fault....get over it.

I just saw them live on Monday and they were amazing, including Elias.

[IRobinDHoodP]

Elias is Shaking o.O

Poor guy.
