Helsinki, Finland, 14th of July, Scandic Hotel
at midnight after taking some(!) drinks…
The Italian power symphonic metal compo Rhapsody performed their
debut gig at the Tuska
Open Air metal festival on the 14th of July in the downtown of
Helsinki Finland. After the majestic gig the Rhapsody guys returned back
to the hotel to take some rest and breathe a little bit before the
general press meeting. It was already at midnight when the guitarist
wizard Luca Turilli and the keyboard player Alex showed up to give an
interview. Some journalists had already taken a few drinks more than
enough and their condition was a little bit weak in some points. As a
matter of fact the whole press meeting was a little bit chaotic in some
manners. I am pretty much sure some of you will be getting huge laughs
rolling all over the floor when listening to the interview session as it
is funny as hell. But hey how can you expect Finnish metalheads to be
sober at festivals and that's definitely not enough yet, cos trying to
be razor sharp clever and smart at 12 o'clock in the middle of night to
follow English spoken with the Italian accent ain't that easy job for
some journalists. But anyway there are some cool things that came up in
the interview session that even Luca Turilli lost the control totally.
Listen and enjoy and above all have good laughs !!
