Can anyone who speaks swedish somewhat translate that article for us non-speakers? I tried a online translator but it didn't help. Thanks.
BTW - cool haircut for short hair - but mr.v the long hair is metal man!!
a quick translation, surely with some errors:
From a half-tamed mane - to smart hair style
before: as much hardrock as possible
after: footboll hunk, random pop guy or a completly ordinary guy
Andras Hedlund, Skelleftås' most renowen hard rocker has cut his hair.
He's impossible not to notice at the hairdresser.
Hair reaching a below the waist. As much hardrock as possible.
There are many who has equaled hair length and musical preference, but
andreas h is of the opinion that it really is a conincidence.
- The bands i play in haven't got any real image, he says.
But at some point when he was young he decided to grow his hair and has continued to do so. But after more than
fifteen years with his hair parted it was time to do something about it.
- Age started to remind me of its precence. I don't feel like having long hair and beeing half bald-heded.
The entire scalp is full of little tufts. Soon, soon it's time for Aina Meijer to plant the scissors in the mane.
But Anders. h. looks calm. He looks straight into the mirror, eyeing the picture with the hair style soon to be his.
Are you ready? asks Aina Meijer as she prepares herself.
CUT CUT CUT. Suddenly the back is bare and the hand is full of hair.
- It feels good, i've had time getting used to the thought.
To midsummer a.h. will record a new video with the norweigan band Bork Nagar (what a surprise that the paper got that
bit wrong). But the bandmembers are unaware of a.h.'s new look.
- It will be fun showng up with a new hair cut.
Aina Meijer tells us that she has been lying sleepless
err: ) thinking about the hair cutting.
- A great deal of one's identity is in the hair, she says
But Andreas is not taking it very hard.
- Sure your look can reveal a lot about your personality, but the inside is alot more important-
After the rinse it's only the shaping left. With deft fingers Aina Meijer quickly transforms the wild mane to a smart
hair style. After a run with the hair dryer it's time for some wax.
She plucks and fixes to get wirls and strands sorted.
Then suddenly a fashionable guy with a mischievous hair doo peeks out.
"Ten years younger", someone of the hair dressers walking by calls, "one can see your eyes", another one says.
A.H. combs through the hair with his fingers. Pulls the fringe forward then sideways.
- This is a thausand hair styles in one.
When it's all done he gets up, walks away to pay. Out of reflex he gets in front of the first mirror and smiles testingly
and checks his new look.
- I am very pleased. It turned out exactly the way i pictured. But it fells as if the entire world will be gawking when i
get out.
For those wondering what's to become of the hardrock he will only give one answer:
- I don't write less good music just because i've got short hair, says A.H.
(The picture text: Will become wig. Aina Meijer has divided the hair into small tufts in order to get all lenghts equal. A.H. will send the hair to a wig maker
who makes wigs for children with cancer etc.)
