I think you all should know this:
"I heard about the idea of having a COB fan camp at Wacken open air months ago, and i thought it was great idea. It actually felt good to hear that our fans do this kind of thing together, with help of our record label, too. So of course we wanted to show our appreciation , so we heard about the possibility of visiting the camp. We had our busy press schedule at WOA friday, lots of press, but in the schedule it said that there would be about one hour for the fan camp. Then everything started to go wrong. Everything was delayed. Then somebody told us that now it seems that there is no transportation fixed, there is no security arranged, it takes forever to walk over there from the backstage area and so... and our show , and the official meet and greet of WOA plus many interviews within only couple of hours. We were told that we actually had to skip the fan camp cos " it's just not possible to arrange it now". I guess this was cos of many misunderstandings, communication problems and so on. We felt bad, cos we really wanted to go. We thought that we can walk over there if there's no transportation, whatever, we need to go over!!! So after all, somebody who knew the other main guy of WOA, could arrange us some cars (good, cos it was far away) and bunch of security, so in the end we could come over. We came over and there was a table and line of people waiting, even though we were late. Thanks for the patience. So we met people there, but apparently there was not time for everybody. We are really sorry! It was well organised, i mean when we got over the problems how to come over there... So thanks for that. Then soon we had to rush to go over to the official WOA signing. So there was limited time, i hope everybody understands this. Next time, now that we know more, we can make it better. I truly hope that this happens again! It is a great honor to see that there was such a thing, a Children of Bodom Fan camp! Thank you!" - Henkka
