the same group that celebrated Lordi,-
10:05:46:22 10:05:52:17

just deserted us almost completely.

10:08:57:06 10:09:02:05
But it`s no use crying,
we have to pay them personally

10:10:00:13 10:10:15:00

Let´s not sink into despair –
10:10:36:12 10:10:42:21
even though might think –
10:10:42:23 10:10:47:00
we´ve reached the point when
it makes no fucking sense to go on.
10:10:48:00 10:10:57:23
[GIGS IN FINLAND]
10:10:48:03 10:10:51:19
We have to start thinking
of ways up from the rock bottom -
10:10:52:02 10:10:58:19
and how we can work rationally -
10:10:57:24 10:10:59:24
because from these two last Lordi records…

But I dont´t know what we should
do to get up from the rock bottom.
10:11:16:08 10:11:20:01
You must think
what the next step is.
10:11:20:08 10:11:22:01
Is it making a new record,
or should it be reality TV?
10:11:23:16 10:11:29:06
In 75% of all Lordi press coverage
you whine about difficulties.
10:11:29:15 10:11:32:16
That´s why Clash of the Choirs
reality TV is a positive thing.
10:11:32:24 10:11:37:24
Lordi speaks Finnish for the first time,
it shows another side of you.
10:11:37:08 10:11:40:13
I feel it´s very important-
10:11:40:08 10:11:43:13
to use this opportunity with the Clash of Choirs –
10:11:44:08 10:11:48:13
and to concentrate
on being an entertainer –
10:11:49:08 10:11:51:13
and getting the most out of that.
Tomi
10:12:03:02 10:12:09:00
Pete Kangas is my best friend,
no question about it.
10:12:10:08 10:12:12:13
We became best friends
already in primary school.
10:12:13:21 10:12:17:14
We still make music together
and write songs together.
10:12:22:14 10:12:27:11
The most important reason
why he will never join Lordi -
10:12:28:02 10:12:33:13
is that our friendship is too valuable
to be destroyed.
10:12:36:11 10:12:39:16
It just feels so important -
10:12:40:11 10:12:42:16
to have some kind
of acceptance in Finland.
10:12:42:20 10:12:48:12

that I don´t have it anymore.

During the Clash of Choirs…
10:13:15:09 10:13:16:02
You won´t do anything else.
-No, I won´t.
10:13:18:04 10:13:21:14
I think Clash of Choirs
might be more harmful than not.
10:13:22:16 10:13:25:08
It´s difficult to say,
but that´s my gut feeling.
10:13:26:00 10:13:29:06
Of course your face
will be on TV.

-Yes.

10:17:03:24 10:17:09:05

-Sure.
10:17:09:09 10:17:14:00
With or without the choir,
we should push for gigs.

"For once in my life,
I have a so-called soul mate."
10:26:01:17 10:26:02:00
“Regards, Onmit.”
-Onmit.
10:26:03:19 10:26:06:21
Yes, that was exactly
what Tonmi thought.
10:26:11:06 10:26:15:22
I don`t get it… I`ve told everyone
what a fantastic guy you are.
10:26:15:23 10:26:19:05
Too bad Tonmi can`t see this.
-He sees us, I really believe he does
10:26:21:00 10:26:22:24
I`ve tried to believe so, too.
10:26:27:14 10:26:32:04
I keep talking aloud to Tonmi,
almost every day.
10:26:32:10 10:26:38:07
I don`t know.

Tomi
10:27:09:21 10:27:16:01
Every time I think of him,
I feel better
10:27:21:04 10:27:25:22
Knowing his nature –
10:27:26:04 10:27:27:22
I know he continues
to give me the thumbs up.
10:27:33:13 10:27:39:06
Now or never,
I have this strong reason –
10:27:40:13 10:27:41:06
to get the ball rolling again.
10:27:42:13 10:27:43:06
It would be so fucking disrespectful
towards Otus -
10:27:43:09 10:27:45:08
just to end Lordi and
quit making the new Lordi record.
10:27:45:09 10:27:49:08
It would be like
flipping him the finger.
10:28:15:05 10:28:15:24
Yeah, that’s the right note.

10:29:34:11 10:29:36:21
To welcome our new guy,
we will just shout: “Drummer!”
10:29:39:05 10:29:39:24
How about that?
10:29:40:09 10:29:41:03
Just that one word?
-Drummer.
10:29:41:08 10:29:42:07
And say it loud.
on my count.
10:29:43:08 10:29:45:07

Drummer!

10:30:04:14 10:30:06:08
I'm sure he's really happy now.
10:30:08:08 10:30:15:12
Now, we're gonna play a song that was
Otus' favorite song to play live. Is that okay?
10:31:12:03 10:31:13:16
Thank you!
Awa
10:31:36:03 10:31:39:16
I`ve been thinking about this decision
for a long time.
10:31:40:03 10:31:43:16
Many of my friends have said
that I`m unhappy and unwell.
10:31:43:23 10:31:52:05
And it`s the band
that takes away my will to live.
10:31:54:12 10:31:56:09
Is it really worth it?
Tomi and Lena
10:32:02:24 10:32:06.03
Well, this is not really a surprise –
10:32:07:24 10:32:09.03
and as I´ve said,
everyone wants you to stay in the band.
10:32:09:04 10:32:14:08
But we know your reasons…
10:32:16:13 10:32:19:00
If you just can`t fucking take it-
10:32:20:13 10:32:22:00
than you don`t have to.
-Right.
10:32:22:24 10:32:25:21
Because if you`re with us,
you have to keep going-
10:32:25:23 10:32:30:15
or than you just quit
if you can`t take it.
10:32:32:10 10:32:36:14
We have to really think
about the timing carefully.
10:32:36:15 10:32:41:04
We have to communicate this
to our fans: ”Mutual decision”…
10:32:41:10 10:32:43:14
And when to tell it…
If we can get the gig at Simerock -
10:32:444:10 10:32:46:14
we can advertise it
as our 10th anniversary gig.
10:32:47:17 10:32:49:01
The choir will be there.
10:32:50:17 10:32:52:01
We have our old props on the stage as well.
10:32:53:17 10:32:54:01
We could announce
quite early on…
10:32:54:02 10:33:01:03
The gig is in August,
so in July we could release -
10:33:01:04 10:33:06:10
That it will be Awa`s last gig,
so fans can come and see it.
10:33:08:12 10:33:12:21
The stupidest thing to do is
to announce it after the gig.
10:33:13:06 10:33:15:01
By the way, it was her last show.”
-It would be a bit “in your face”..
10:33:18:10 10:33:22:33
All right, that sounds fine to me.
This is quite…
10:33:23:22 10:33:25:24
Do you know any keyboardist girls?
Tomi and Pete
10:33:45:11 10:33:49:13
I kind of knew
this thing with Leena was coming.
10:33:50:01 10:33:53:22
Too bad it came now
when you have other worries –
10:33:54:01 10:33:55:22
such as Tonmi`s passing.
10:33:57:03 10:34:02:00
The situation is bad now.
You have just three guys left.
10:34:03:20 10:34:06:16
But the old saying goes:
10:34:03:20 10:34:05:16
When something ends,
a new possibility opens.
10:24:08:19 10:34:11:10
We have to believe in it.
10:34:11:20 10:34:14:17
When Leena steps aside,
you have to trust -
10:34:15:20 10:34:17:17
that you will find a good keyboardist
who will be a new beginning
10:34:22:21 10:34:26:08
You need backup support
and so do the guys.
10:34:27:21 10:34:28:08
You can`t quit now.
10:34:29:21 10:34:30:08

10:35:27:09 10:35:28:20
Good night and thank you!
Awa
10:36:03:23 10:36:06:00
It has been really hard.
10:36:07:23 10:36:12:00
This has been a test
to Tomi`s creativity -
10:36:12:14 10:26:16:09
and his willingness
to sacrifice things –
10:36:12:17 10:26:18:09
to the love of his life
which is Lordi, his world
10:26:18:10 10:36:23:18
Well, it`s a way of life, really.
10:36:24:18 10:36:27:09
It`s just so difficult.
10:36:31:20 10:36:35:20
I think Tomi should makes music
with his best friend Pete.
10:36:36:24 10:36:38:03
Tomi should write more songs with him,
continue their cooperation, -
10:36:39:24 10:36:42:03
go to the studio cottage
with him to play and drink -
10:36:46:04 10:36:48:24
and write songs
and just have fun.
10:36:54:09 10:36:56:04
Because that`s
the reason why you do it:
10:36:56:07 10:37:01:10
Not for the money nor for the fame -
10:36:58:07 10:37:01:10
but because you love the music
and the whole thing so much.

[AWA CHOSE LOVE
IN ITALY]
Tomi and Pete
10:37:40:24 10:37:44:10
Let`s just go back to basics,
where it all started:
10:37:45:24 10:37:48:10
It`s fun to make music!
10:37:48:16 10:37:56:16
When you remember that –
10:37:50:16 10:37:56:16
Than all the ups and downs,
joys and sorrows, -
10:37:56:20 10:37:59:08
they`re just trivial things.
-You`re so right.
10:38:00:20 10:38:05:01
I love the photo, because us two
are all about “yeah, heavy metal” -
10:38:05:06 10:38:07:18
and the others are
bored to death.
10:38:08:22 10:38:10:22
And we still keep rocking,
just like as kids.
10:38:12:15 10:38:19:00
You wear new stud belt
stylishly on top of your sweater.
10:38:21:03 10:38:23:14
Of course!
10:38:24:03 10:38:25:14
Fucking hell!
10:38:27:10 10:38:29:13
Another funny thing…
-Usually, you loop it through your pants.
10:38:33:08 10:38:38:18
When this was taken, I think
you didn`t rate twisted Sister too high.
10:38:38:20 10:38:42:03
No way, that`s in `85 or `86,
they certainly rocked for me.
10:38:42:18 10:38:46:18
Really? – First you had their poster
and I thought it looked like shit.
10:38:47:02 10:38:50:12
But then I listened to their music,
the guys started looking cool too.
10:38:51:22 10:38.56:20
Then back to the intro…
10:38:57:24 10:38:59:20
And then the riff.
10:39:00:04 10:39:03:06
Well, basically…
-This one needs…
10:39:04:04 10:39:06:06
It needs great catch phrases.
10:39:08:09 10:39:12:08
It needs something like…
10:39:12:17 10:39:17:17
"I put my fist, my fist, my fist in your ass".
10:39:12:17 10:39:17:17
You gotta have something.
-Sounds good.
10:39:18:02 10:39:21:24
Fist in your ass, great.
Let`s write it down.
10:39:23:01 10:39:27:05
You gotta repeat it
and it hast to be easy.
10:39:29:06 10:39:35:12
If you do the old school chorus
with some nice words -
10:39:35:17 10:39:39:01
it doesn`t really work anymore.
This melody needs some balls.
10:39:39:03 10:39:40:06
And a simple chorus.
10:39:40:06 10:39:48:07
And than add a bonus
like shouting ”Hey! Ho!”
10:39:49:03 10:39:49:22
This is the intro.
10:39:53:00 10:39:55:19
I might sing like this.
10:40:17:22 10:40:19:07
I´ll scream like hell, you know…
-That´s a great idea.
10:40:31:23 10:40:33:01
And the bridge.
10:40:36:14 10:40:38:09
This was clearly the best this far.
-Really?
10:40:44:03 10:40:47:02
I don`t know the lyrics yet,
but Schitzo Doll will stay.
10:40:48:00 10:40:52:10
You singing reminds me of
children`s songs.
10:40:53:00 10:40:55:09
That`s the way
I´ve been singing it.
10:40:56:06 10:40:57:21
The melody is pure schlager,
which is great.
10:40:59:04 10:41:02:02
I am so glad you like the song.
It`s a nice surprise for me.
Tomi
10:41:10:05 10:41:12:12
Now we`ve got
some songs together.
10:41:13:05 10:41:15:12
I must say we have great song material now.
10:41:16:02 10:41:21:03
Now it`s crucial that we get a producer
who will do them justice -
10:41:21:10 10:41:25:15
a producer who understands
what we`re trying to say this time.
10:41:28:03 10:41:33:09
Michael Wagner has been
responsible for the sound -
10:41:33:12 10:41:35:15
that I grew up with
and regard as good music.
10:41:36:12 10:41:39:15
He`s one of the main heavy metal gurus
behind that sound.
10:41:40:04 10:41:44:22
Now that we have finally found
the right producer for us -
10:41:45:02 10:41:46:21
if Kimmo says that sorry, -
10:41:47:02 10:41:51:21
you will record
with a Finnish producer in Helsinki -
10:41:51:23 10:41:54:05
than I will be
maximally pissed off.
10:41:54:08 10:42:00:08
Should that happen, our guitarist
Amen will tell him that`s the end.
Tomi and ex CEO Kimmo

Well, that`s true…
-This is not bad.
10:42:14:18 10:42:20:03
Well, as I`m now unemployed,
what better place to have meetings.
10:42:24:23 10:42:26:09
What the hell?
10:42:28:05 10:42:32:14
I must say…
I don`t believe I just heard this.
10:42:33:00 10:42:36:06
That`s the way it goes.
10:42:36:10 10:42:41:22
It`s selfish of me to say,
but what´s going to happen to Lordi?
10:42:42:14 10:42:46:10
I had to consider that option as well.
It wasn`t certain at all.
10:42:46:13 10:42:51:03
Your band is very expensive -
10:42:51:05 10:42:53:11
and we always worried
that we just lose money.
10:42:53:13 10:42:57:09
If I was in a situation -
10:42:58:03 10:43:03:06
where I was the new CEO and
had a roster of artists on the label -
10:43:03:07 10:43:07:18
and I had to trim the roster,
the big question is:
10:43:08:07 10:43:11:18
Would I throw Lordi out or not?
10:43:30:14 10:43:36:08
The only alternative for me not to be Mr. Lordi –
10:43:37:14 10:43:39:08
is that I`m dead.
10:43:39:09 10:43:45:05
As long as I`m alive,
I`m Mr. Lordi.

10:45:11:24 10:45:12:03
were not so good.

10:45:16:05 10:45:19:11

I´m very happy with the new album.
10:49:39:01 10:49:45:01
Of course we do it for ourselves -
10:49:45:02 10:49:49:03
but the fans` reaction
is critical.
Fan
10:49:50:11 10:49:55:13
We love heavy metal this is the change
for heavy metal.
10:49:56:00 10:50:02:10
Rock'n roll angels singing hard rock hallelujah!
Tomi
10:50:06:03 10:50:10:18
I hope for a good tour
and that people like us -
10:50:11:03 10:50:12:18
and have fun with us.
10:50:14:15 10:50:21:05
It all culminates
when I finally walk on stage -
10:50:21:06 10:50:27:19
with the opening song
from the new album playing
10:50:27:21 10:50:29:18
then I`ll know
whether we succeeded or not.
10:50:30:16 10:50:34:00
Whether fans like it
as much as we do.

I see…
10:50:44:00 10:50:44:20
This is handsome.
10:50:48:16 10:50:50:00
Don`t mess with them.
-I`m just looking.
10:50:56:00 10:50:57:18
There…
-It`s not cold over there.
10:50:59:11 10:51:01:24
Well… All right, my son.
10:51:02:11 10:51:05:24
We`ll carry stuff out.
Kumppis, stay there.

Tomi
10:52:50:06 10:52:55:11
I know I will be Mr. Lordi
until the day I die.
10:52:56:14 10:53:02:01
I can also be Tomi,
but Mr. Lordi is my thing.
10:53:03:14 10:53:05:01
