I want to make sure I transcribed it correctly; so it's going to the source first. I offer to do that with all of my interviews in person to make sure i didn't mishear anything. I don't want to misquote anything. Once it's looked over it shall be put up.
I'll say this again; best interview i ever did. Again; Pontiac Firebird is the Ultimate Metal Car and of course I got one of the covers on the EP too on it.
I also took some pics that will go up with the interview, hehe....

As for Janne...maybe he just has thin hair or sumthin?
Allu aka Bunny also has quite thin hair, doesn't he?

Janne doesn't have thinning hair, at least I didn't notice it.
Alexi has a full head of hair too.

Oh, and I forgot to add...I didn't have a pic...but I said...
"Hey, Janne...does the phrase "SHOE!!" mean anything to you?
Janne: Shoe....Oh, yeah!! *laughter* yeah, i know that....(or something along those lines, he was a little drunk...)
but i asked him for ya!!

nah, didn't get that one in. I think i got held up in the massive "Rock you Like a Hurricane" sing along.
edit: i forgot another good moment; me and Roope went to 8th street music and looked at guitars for a bit after we met. We found one, that was a sort of synth guitar; it wasn't a 'keytar' but a guitar looking thing with 'string buttons' and a bunch of buttons for the frets. He was holding this thing looking at it with as much confused wonder as me.

How did you get your all access pass, fenrir? I got knocked completely out cold in the crowd when I was standing up front at the show and I think having a photo pass or an all access pass would be the most prized thing I could ever obtain for the next show. I highly doubt someone is gonna headbang and headbutt me in the neck again on the next tour, but that pissed me off so much.

well, to tell the whole story about Friday(I realized i only gave bits and pieces of it)
I gave the tour manager a call to set up the interview. I went to the troc close to 2, and came in; met him and one of the merch guys. He said he'd bring out one of them, who was Roope. So me and Roope meet, as i said in another post somewhere, and chat it up for awhile. I showed him the booze; he was quite happy.
He wasn't positive where the bus was; so I said i'd show him. First, we went to the music store. Then we went to the bus. What happened then was like out of a movie. He walks me on, I look up, and there is Jaska, Alexi, and Janne sitting there. We sort of look at each other for a few moments before I finally blurt out "hi" at the Finns looking at the strange American girl. Alexi introduces himself first, followed by the others. We sit around a bit, I finally break some ice telling a funny story about something that happened in Tower. (They were looking at weird crazy people walking by outside, so I figured to go with it.) That did it; we started chatting; me and Alexi almost instantly talking about video games. Janne finished eating, and Jaska headed out; i spoke to him a bit about Evemaster; he looked a bit suprised i knew about them.
We walk to the troc; me and Alexi speaking more of games and just a lot of other stuff; guitar, etc...(btw...his reaction when I told him about the booze was priceless.) We get to the venue, i ask if it's cool if i took some pics from sidestage. He said he'd talk to the manager to see if he could set me up with a little pass to get me back, like something i could stick on my shirt. We talk about CKY for a spell, then I head out and just wait around for the show to start. After a bit, I see Roope walking around, and he goes outside; but i was heading in. Right before Bodom's set; Roope comes out with the pass; it just happened to be an all access laminate! I was NOT expecting that.
So the first two interviews happen,(I got the water for them at that point; I was hanging a bit backstage with them after their set for about a half hour. ). My interview came up during IE's set, then during Gettysburg(about 10:30 or so) is when I take Alexi back to the bus to a. show him where it is, as said..and b. make sure he didn't collapse. I told him i'd head back to the venue cause he was tired, but he said i can hang out, so hell yeah, I did! So we were pretty much talking till about 2 am. Jaska, Janne, Henkka and Roope joined later on; around 11:30-12 or so. They came and went off the bus. eventually by about 1 the bus was full. I spoke to all the members here and there(Janne helping me when i began to choke on a bug or something was pretty funny.) Eventually the bus driver started kicking people off , but i somehow got to stay. so hell, again, i'm like "shit!! i must have done SOMETHING right in a past life!!" Like I said, Friday fucking ruled.
I get to work today, and tell my friend who asked what happend. I'm like, "yeah, and now I basically have a ticket to any show in the states." since no one asked for the pass back. He's like "Ok, you have a pass for anywhere in the states. WHY ARE YOU HERE???"
Me:...

...I DON'T KNOWWWW!!!! *big anime tears fly out at work* But this is why they are some of the coolest guys I have met. I kept thanking them and Alexi said there was no need. I swear, if I ever hear anyone talk shit about these guys i'll want to punch them out. So THAT is the Fenrir Philly story.

Good story. I wish i would get an opportunity like that. Ive never met members of a band before, and i dont think i would ever get to really party with them. thats pretty cool.

i thank my CM contact and Metalwhore for giving me the foot in the door to get the interview; and yeah, of course I thank the band no matter how many times i was told i didn't have to.
I actually felt good about the interview; real good; I told Alexi when we were on the bus that sorry it might not have been the most professional one. He said that he enjoyed it a lot; because no one has ever asked stuff like "ultimate metal car" and game questions; which he thought was real cool; most just ask about tours and albums(which i did also; but i threw some stuff in there i thought might be fun too.)

I dunno why I didn't talk to you at the show... we were some of the first people there. We saw you standing outside at 3 o'clock and it's strange that we didn't walk over to you and start talking or something. That sucks. Next time I'll come over and introduce myself and we can hang out. Meeting Alexi was fucking awesome. It was the highlight of my life so far. I'm getting a Bodom tattoo sometime this week.

Yeah, now that I think about it...I DID see you; but I didn't know who you were at the time! Well, now I know at least for the next show.

ahh, archenemy; really, they are just a bunch of normal, down to earth guys. No different than us, really. Just dudes who'd i talk to if they were in a band or not. A cool person is a cool person.

Most bands I've met were once the same fans we are, and still are in a way. CoB are no exception.
