DAY 21
Having back-to-back shows in the same venue gave
us the luxury of a little time to look around Oslo which is a beautiful
city. I had an interview to do at noon which was with Metal Express
Radio… an internet radio station. Stig is going to contact
Rodrigo and see about setting up a link so that you can hear the
interview if you want to. They actually have lots of cool stuff
on there so you might want to check it out. I think the web site
is www.MetalExpress.no.
Did a quick sound check to fine-tune some stuff from the night before
and back to the hotel to get ready. On the way, Dave, Pete and I
found a little sushi place and spoiled ourselves but soon it was
time to leave for the gig.
We arranged to meet in the bar but I couldn't find the band…
all I found was a lot of "Mortens"!!! A whole gang of
guys and Mari who was the only girl! I called them Mortens because
after you've been in Norway for an amount of time it seems as though
everyone is named Morten! Just kidding… we had some fun signing
and taking pictures before we left for the gig. I did a quick interview
with Per for Monster magazine… we had to do it on a stairway
outside the dressing room… it was the only place where we could
get some peace!!!
The club was over-full so we had to find a side door to get to the
dressing room and once we hit the stage the place was bursting with
energy and the show was great. A bit too much energy actually bcause
tonight I broke TWO strings!! I only think that I am being a bit
too enthusiastic because I haven't had this experience before but
it did keep John busy!!
Our last show in Norway was certainly a highlight of the tour so
far and we spent a really long time signing at the meet & greet.
Willy, the owner of the Rock In, and all of his staff were fantastic
and we all agreed that we would do this again! I've got to say a
big thank you to all of the Mortens and Kjells and everyone else
who made this a very special night.
Next day...
