Bodom saved my trip, it was worth it only because of their gig and maybe Turisas. Some observations:
- Alexi got bottled or thrown something at (I didn't see what or where he was hit)...Alexi shouts "Haista vittu" (fuck you) in the middle and after the song. He also made the crowd chant "Haista vittu" at the thrower, if I remember correctly. Alexi also threatened to get the thrower up to the stage so he could take a better shot right to his [Alexi's] head. Way to take a revenge
I could see Alexi's reaction to the incident and he looked shocked and
extremely pissed afterwards. I hope the thrower got mugged and trampled to death, what a stupid asshole
- Alexi told he had a bad day, but that one
very special thing saved the day for him. At this point someone from the audience interjects by shouting "JANNE!"
Alexi laughs and says, that indeed Janne too helped to save his day, but that the Tuska gig was the main thing.
- Alexi thanked some people who had spent the evening before the gig at lake Bodom or something like that, I did'nt hear all of what he said.
- The stage setting was new or at least different from the DVD. There was a "bar" in one corner and a bridge thingy in the back where they could climb. The guys had a funny act to go with the bar. I love this kind of funny extra stuff they do on stage
- There's going to be a Tuska DVD with Bodom on it of course.
- Alexi's new pink (or is it purple?) guitar is maybe the coolest thing ever.
- Mask of Sanity played in Finland.
- Janne had two keyboards at two locations on the stage. The other one was in the usual place and the other one on top of the aforementioned bridge.
- Alexi threw one of his guitar to the ground. Looked bad (poor axe). No idea why.... Maybe he was still pissed about the bottle throwing.
- Alexi has very, very charismatic stage presence. I saw them last time years ago and he certainly has become a real rock star during that time.
- Roope is god.
- Turisas was great. The Viking theme and the Varangian way story makes an interesting basis for a show. Imo, Turisas should have been on the main stage instead of penguin boys, aka Immortal. This was the first Turisas gig in Finland for 2 years.
- The sound was not very good on the main stage. Maybe because of the wind or something. I got a good spot near Roope on the right side, I was not wearing ear plugs and still the sound was a mess from time to time. Couldn't hear much of Alexi's playing for example.
- I almost lost my hearing when Alexi took of his T-shirt and all the fangirls started screaming...
Can't remember the setlist, I was too carried away by the show
There was Mask of Sanity, Sixpounder, Needled 24/7, Hate Me, Bodom Beach Terror, Are you dead yet, Angels don't Kill, Everytime I Die, Downfall + maybe Follow the Reaper and some others. They did 1 or 2 medleys so it's even harder to remember all they played.
