I messed up again :O.
The truth is that I haven’t been feeling very great lately. I’ve worked hard, played hard and partied even harder and too much of the good stuff makes me lose focus and in the end I lose my vision for what the meaning of life really is, and from that point I’m completely lost in space :).
It’s a bit funny though, how I was in such good shape and then how I let ONE GIG (Huddinge festival 01/06) ruin the whole rythm :P. Well, you live & you learn and I’m certainly no professional yet :).
But a lot of great things have happened lately and while I collect the last pieces for getting my life back on track I’ll write you a short summary here :
We made some new friends at the
EXTEND hair studio and I’m glad to say that it’s the first time I bleached my hair at a studio and actually was 100% happy with the results. Martin looks rad nowadays as well as you’ve already seen, thanks to them. Check them out when you’re in stockholm and in need of a hair fix - they’re located at östgötagatan 55. They’re on
facebook as well.
Street-view :P
Getting started!
Coffe-break
Me and eric shit-chatting...
Two iPhone Nerds @ the Extend Hair Studio.
Good lookin' Martin!!!
I already wrote a few lines about the show in Huddinge and you already know I had a blast
(that’s probably why the after party did not end until just recently) so I won’t mention that again!
A few dayz after that we went to Finland to open up for Mötley and that’s something I really couldn’t see coming 5-10 years ago so it was a big happening for little me :P.
Day one - getting ready to rock :P.
Day two - getting ready to fly home!
We were on a very early flight so I was a bit fucked up during the first half of the day (because of the usual sleeping problems) but once the super excitement kicked in everything went on smoothly :). Simon put his pants on fire and in overall I think we had a great show and the audience was really with us. Thank you finland - I enjoyed every second!
Later on that night we decided to go to sweden rock festival the next day, so we did, and I got the chance to see mötley again, and in my eyes they did a killer show that night that I’ll never forget.
HELLFEST was chocking as well! We didn’t know what to expect really but it turned out to be one of the best festivals I’ve ever been to, very well organized and the local crew guyz was one of the nicest guyz we’ve ever popped into during a gig. Hope to see ya next year!
Here's Martin & Marco at the backstage area of HELLFEST. A few moments later some guys from Jack daniels came and gave us a bottle for free.
I saw Sebastian Bach, Guns n’ Roses & Mötley Crüe during the two days we stayed there - what a fucking line-up!!! Needless to say - I enjoyed these gigs like nothing else, even though the sound volume on the Mötley gig was way too low...
After that I got seriously drunk and my boyz escorted me into a cab, but I had lost the key of course so me and my best-french-buddy Marco slept in the hotel corridor before Martin came home and let me in - and this was the end of this year’s sucessful HELLFEST for me!
Martin tried to sneak in a bottle of PROFFS hairspray on the plane but luckily the airport security caught him... Wonder what he was gonna do with the hairpsray? Hijack the plane? Only Martin knows...
Got home two days ago, had some quick rest and in a few days we’re leaving for HOLLAND / AMSTERDAM, oh my...
But before that I’ll be back with another story so stay tuned!
