Ask Janne!

[sleeper666]

Hi Janne

Will CoB be involved in Spinefarm's 'special show' early next year to launch the label
in the UK?

Can't wait for the new album. Looking forward to seeing Warmen and CoB on the Spinefeast cruise!

Kippis and kiitos (yritan oppia Suomea!)

Hey Janne,

Can you describe the songs.. exactly what are they like?

 

[kumusubie666]

Hey Janne!
I don't know if this has been asked before, but is there going to be some kind of keyboard instructional video with you?

I think there were rumours some time ago. Would be fucking awesome if it was true!!

Yo, if you read this I was wondering... could you please help bring over some great finnish bands from your country to North America, if you have any sort of power over that I mean. I guess you probably wouldn't be able to do much but if Bodom could pick their support bands instead of having the record labels make offers to the ones they choose then could you please pick a great band no one here knows, like Shade Empire, or Stamina or something. I'd love to see those bands play here. There are too many great bands lost in Europe that need to come here. I finally got to see and meet up with the guys from Insomnium, another great finnish band, they were just on their first tour outside of Europe with Katatonia. They were very nice, and they play fucking amazing live! You guys should be friends and tour together!

Ok I just got off work and I've been up for too long so this post might not have made any sense. Basically what I am asking is would you be able to help fellow finnish bands that aren't well known (but are very talented) get a tour here, possibly with Bodom? Would you like to see that happen? Or do you just not give a shit and it's impossible for you to do anything about?

 

[(__Joonas__)]

Yea, like our band..

 

[Undefined]

^ I more meant bands like Shade Empire, Stam1na, Insomnium, Catamenia, Eternal Tears of Sorrow, Imperanon, Swallow the Sun, etc..

 

[Swabs]

Imperanon

Erm did you not hear?... Imperanon broke up quite a while ago (sucks, I know)

Oh and for a question:

Just wondering, do the new songs have a more thrash metal style sound?

 

[Conti]

how do I shot web?

 

[ESPmyk]

Hey Janne, just a couple of questions.
I dunno if you remember but when we met at Lake Bodom we spoke about a fictional collaberation between you and Michael Romeo of Symphony X, have you head any more thoughts on this?
Also, this is more funny than anything, but at Tuska I guess the bar on stage was a little too much, and it seemed you forgot to play half of a solo, and the look of horror on your face was priceless. What was the reason behind that? (not bitching or anything, I thought it was hilarious.)
Take it easy

hey janne



do you have any favorite cities or countries to visit while on tour?

 

[thepsychoman]

hi Janne (wow too much questions)
so I'm new in the forum, I'm a big fan of COB from morocco (north africa) and I wonder if you could do a tour here (in africa)?
thank ya

 

[Nikki]

I'm going to ask another question.

Janne,

Would you rather tour with more Finnish bands or more American bands?

also, if you had a big say in the set list, what songs would you put in and what songs would you take out?

 

[Stonecoldsoul07]

Hey Janne I have a couple questions for you.

Now a days who writes most of the music?
Do you write your own solos?

P.S.Will there ever be a an ask Roope thread?

 

[The Butt]

Hey Janne. Just wondering; have you or the other guys in the band thought about letting you do an ambient track on your own, for the new album? You know, like the intro on Tokyo Warhearts, for example, only as a full-length song? I've always wondered why a synth-driven band like CoB hasn't taken advantage of something like this.

Personally, I think that'd be extremely badass, myself, and... it'd probably make me buy the album in a heartbeat... *hint hint*.

Stay metal, man.

 

[Altitudes]

Hey man, would you know by chance if the entire album is in drop tuning for the guitars (Drop C). Also, are there going to be sick keyboard/guitar battles in any of the songs. Make that #1 on the priority list

 

[Gaudeamus]

Hey Janne. I was wondering, when you started playing the keys did you play anything inparticular that you feel helped you become a faster player? Any exercises or particular songs? If so it would be nice to know so I could try them out to see if they help me.

 

[Ben Johnson]

Send me your Jens JV2080 lead patch.

 

[the phenom]

hi janne! Pointless questions...do the songs uve done so far have insane solos? (both keyboards and guitar...not necessary harmonized...just wondered) Also does it include much Guitar-Keyboard harmonized riffs. How fast are the songs? Coud you call it a mix of Follow the reaper and Are you dead yet? as i coud see in tie my rope.

 

[the phenom]

Hey Janne I have a couple questions for you.

Now a days who writes most of the music?

P.S.Will there ever be a an ask Roope thread?

My opinion is that it woud be possible but if there was a ask alexi thread:lol...well figure it out...(OMFG ZOMG ALEXI y3S I WANT HIS AUTOGRAPH....AWESEOMENESNNEn!)




Uh yeah and lady_laiho woud go nuts.
