I Was just recently thinking about how Roope still is only a fill in, so i was wondering if CoB even wants to get a new Axe Man. If it were up to me I would just leave it with the 4 members and Roope to play on the tours because Roope just fits so well with them in the live show, they have such a good on stage presence, and since Alexi doest want the same two guitarist writing songs for two different bands, I am sure roope would not mind the 4 originals goin off to do CoB albums (also since Alexi write most himself anyways).


If you can understand any of what I just said.
 
They want to get another guitarist, becouse CoB and Sinergy have so many gigs altogether, than it would be very hard for Roope to play in both, i mean, next year when probably BOTH of them are going to world tour their new record and Roope is not willing to be on both maybe coz he also got his finnish band Waltari, so 3 bands is just way too much!, or atleast that is what i read from Soundi (finnish metal magazine) Also, Roope is getting a little bit old, 35?, so maybe his condition is not perfect for 2 world touring band. Also there is really no point to have 2 same guitarists in 2 different bands. I belive both of them are against that. I think they are looking for a new guitarist that fits the group very well, but they are in no hurry since Roope can always help them out if needed for studio (yea right like Alexi needs some help) and little tours/gigs.
 
Last thing i've heard is that roope will stay in the band. He himself would really like to be not only a session guitarist and said before that he will stay, and just few days ago henkka said it, too.

hey, it's not like he's 80 years old.... !! Judas Priest are in their 50's and they're still active, right?

maybe however his "condition" is cause for concern because he drinks too much :D :D
 
hehe, roope's condition isn't that good because he starts drinking in the morning and stopps drinking in the morning, not because of his age........... I'm afraid they'll loose him sometime somewhere in a liquor store......

Hmm.

I didn't read every msg on the thread so I don't know if this has been mentioned already but Roope doesn't play in Waltari anymore.
 
^^ right, and i guess it was damn hard for ale to leave COB, so he probably thought it was the best thing for him to become a "houseman" and there's no chance for him to join COB again. roope's a great guy and he fits into COB, so why shouldn't he become a full member of the band?????
