A question for Janne...Why Salieri?

[Nightwing01]

Out of pure curiousity, why do you focus on Salieri? I haven't heard much of his music (if you have any suggestions on his great stuff lemme know!) but its commonly known that Mozart was the man of the day even though Salieri had the position.

So...why Salieri?

If you've ever seen the movie Amadeus it would make sense to you. In the movie he's a fascinating character, filled with jealousy, envy, and ego... he claimed to be the murderer of Mozart and his guilt got to him to the point he attempted suicide (in this scene of the movie the piece the Red Light in My Eyes part 2 intro is based on is played)... just go watch the movie and you'll get it. Bodom and Warmen used a lot of quotes from this movie, so you can see they got a lot of inspiration from it.

I'd like to see Janne answer for himself though.

There's this thread which we could resurrect now since Janne is visiting the board again: Ask Janne

I posted your question there.
