Since I got to meet Roope on many occasions (more than the others I mean) and have some talks with him I really have hopes for a "crowd-oriented" player. You know; that can of guitarist which makes you feel like he really "sees" you and not just look at the back of the room (best exemple in my opinion: Sami Hinkka; a true live-beast).
Regarding Antti; I was a bit sceptical when I heard the news but after seeing their live in Moscow I was totally convinced that he is the one who should fill Roope's shoes. And now I'd be quite disappointed if they go for someone else. ESPECIALLY Daniel Freyberg. For this man is a pure joke in my opinion; like this is more about hair and looking sad/desperated/about-to-commit-suicide look in order to get emos teenagers girl to wet their panties for him.
Really dislike everything about that man and his music...
On the bright side, that would indeed bring back the Jackson...
Yeah, Sami is awesome. I've highfived him five times now. Been to three Ensiferum gigs. I also have two of Markus' picks. Almost got Petri's pick too. Stepped pretty much right on to it, but didn't notice it. Instead I only saw Markus' pick, lying perhaps a meter to the side.
Don't really know much about Freyberg. He joined Norther which was a band I liked, but the album they made after Petri left wasn't that good IMO. Can't remember much of him live either. Was mostly surprised by how well Aleksi "sang" compared to the album.
