Ok, Kuuden kielen maistereita documentary in english below. It's not a direct translation but almost.
-Are there some music taste changes coming?
"Well, not right now i think but i've always played all kind of music because i've been at "ogille" (some music school) and i've had to play really different stuff there for example Jazz. But it's not my thing though but lets see what the situation will be 10 years later."
-Where does your nickname wildchild come from?
"It just comes from my life outside music..."
-Do you have some totally different interests or hobbies that you like to do outside music?
"Not really. Everything i do concerns music somehow. I dont do anything else and i dont even want to because nothing else is interesting. You know i have 3 bands and if there is some situation where i have to choose between them i always choose Bodom because that's the band that i'm the main composer in and so on."
-What do you think you are more, a songwriter or a guitarist?
"a guitarist but a songwriter too because that's what i also do all the time. But i think i consider myself more like a guitarist because i dont think that i'm some sort of "big composer" if you know what i mean?"
*this next bit came some seconds later*
"I try to develope my technique and keep everything as clean as i can. I know my limits and speedlimits and i never try to do something that i'm not cabable of because it just doesn't make any sense. For example there are a lot of guitarists that have good ideas in their heads but the technique is pretty bad you know. But i understand it though. For example when i had been playing guitar for like two or three years i was constantly trying to play everything so fast and the endresult sounded crap due to it. So, i didn't understand then that if i played slower stuff i would sound better. But it's just one phase that everybody goes through at some point."
-What would happen if you had to stop playing?
"a suicide. I just couldn't live without music or playing guitar and that's the truth. Like if my arms were cut off or i got a lot of money or whatever i still couldn't live. Music and playing is the thing that i wanna do and i dont wanna do anything else. And i know that i could never have anything that i like as much as music. So a suicide would be the only option
"
-How lonely is it to play this much?
"I wouldn't say that i'm a solitary man or anything but if you have that certain will to play you just have to abandon some things. But then again. the more you play the more you get to know your guitar. And when i have the feeling that everything is shit and nothing works out, at least i know that the guitar wont hurt me
So i've slept with my guitar a few times stroking it under the blanket
"
-What kind of things have you had to leave behind for playing?
"some social things...Like i've had some days when i would of wanted to go drinking or something like that but i knew that there is some important recording coming so i couldn't go anywhere because i had to practise... Those are just small things but they can piss you off at times though. But after all the work is worth it."
-What does it feel like to know that young kids consider you an influence?
"It feels really irrational because i can consider me a person who takes influences instead of giving them. But on the other hand those praising comments just prove it that all this work wasn't useless. I mean at least i've achieved something and it feels great of course. But like i said i cant comprehend these praising kids though
"
-What's your biggest dream as a player?
"If we are talking about dreams that will never come true it would be playing in Ozzy Osbourne's band
