Quoting the following comes a bit late, but some thoughts concerning this however: (55 years old,ex hippy,too old to know anything about metal) Eh, too old? Like I mentioned there on the previous page, my father is 70 years old, an old sea-captain and very conservative. No use to even try telling anything about any kind of metal music in general at least in his case. Generally I've always been of the opinion that either of my parents don't need to know anything about my very own musical interests and/or activity otherwise than that I just play kantele, that's all. Then again, I haven't lived in my parents' house anymore since '02, thus nothing matters for real nowadays. However, I never told them about my black and death metal interests at my teen-age years either, without even talking about my 80's heavy & hard rock interests since when I was 7 years old, as I've always considered everything such absolutely not being anything of their business nor matters to worry about. They wouldn't have understood or accepted anything anyway, no matter what, thus it was indeed better to leave it all be in those situations that I went through in my personal life in the past; a lot easier that way for everybody. Of course they then came up to notice my band shirts, even some of my CDs and also posters on the walls of my room as time passed, but then again I luckily had some old Mortiis, Wongraven etc. that I always played if they happened to ask me something, heh. EDIT: Ah, Heidi reminded me that her father is soon 58 years old and likes Nightwish and Apocalyptica, thus it's really not about the age in itself, but rather about backgrounds, attitudes, personal experiences so far etc.

Well, it basically is. Symptoms are the urge to travel to the most impossible places of this world in order to see six shaggy Finns maltreating some folk instruments. In rare cases a reduction of nourishment to solely Estonian bread can be observed. damn!!! i have this symptoms!!! i'm ill!!! i'm dyyyyyyyying ^^' well my parents are actually thinking i'm crazy... following korpiklaani nearly everywhere (not knowing i'm travel-maniac... but kk is a nice apology to travel around and visiting friends : Nah, I doubt that it's lethal. Though then again I wasn't so sure about it in some situations when travelling And I'm often glad about having a reason to travel to places where I'd probably never go otherwise. Keeps me kind of alive actually.

Socke: you are right, Korpiklaani is addictive, maybe they should put a warning on their cd's and at their gig-announcements: This stuff is addictive, keep away from kids... only i guess it extends your life, instead of shortening it, because it feels always very healthy to go to their gigs

Maybe because of lack of Korpi... ;D If I don't listen to any Korpi cds for 2 days I start to feel that something 's miss... By the way...my mother nowadays comes with me to Korpi concerts...I infected her with this disease ;D She planted in me the seeds of love of unusual music in my childhood(she let me and my brother to play with a little accordion... )and now it repercussions on her... ;D ;D ;D

Following dialogue between me and my stepfather just took place some hours ago ;D
My stepfather (52 years old, pretty relaxed) enters my room; I was listening to Ryyppäjäiset.
He: That sounds cool, is that Nightwish? Me (thinking: Whaaat? o__O): No dad, thats Korpiklaani, you know the band I´ve seen last sunday in Bochum
After some minutes of listening...Beer, Beer followed
He: Oh, their music sounds really interesting...maybe we can listen to their CDs at Christmas Eve while having diner

My mum seems to be marginally more fond of Korpiklaani than of the majority of my music. She usually bursts into my room whenever she hears the fiddle playing and goes "What's that you're listening to? It sounds like some nice Scottish or Irish folk music." I then have to proceed to explain that it's folk metal and actually Finnish, during which time the song kicks in, resulting in a sharp "Well I don't see why they have to ruin it with all that yelling and loud banging of the drums!" before leaving me alone again with my music. Hehe. Having said that, the Dad of a good friend of mine is a huge Korpiklaani fan and just a bit of a metal-head in general. He was with us at the Korpiklaani gig and was at Wacken 2007 as well. I'm sure there are many of us who wish our fathers were a bit more like this one. Haha.

After the Glasgow gig I stuck on Spirit of the Forest in his car, so he had no choice. He liked it though

I took it upon myself to turn my speakers to max. on New Years and put on some Korpiklaani.
To my complete and utter surprise...my drunken Dad started (what he calls) "Jigging."
It turns out that he likes all the cheery Folk Metal songs i own.
He loved...: Let's Drink, Nordic Feast, Beer Beer, Wooden Pints, God of Wind, You Looked Into My Eyes, Pixies Dance, Happy Little Boozer, Spring Dance, Misty Fields, Cottages and Saunas, Journey Man, Hunting Song, Ryyppäjäiset etc. and also some Elvenking, Leprechaun aswell.

My parents live far away and they have no PC or CD player. But I'm convinced they would like. It's precisely her taste. And my children, I can say that my great daughter (13 years) ever wants to hear nothing of it, she finds it appalling. The middle daughter (8 years) finds it totally cool, and would prefer to come to a concert and the biggest fan is probably my son (5 years). Every day he wants to hear a few songs. Most he loves "Happy Little Boozer", and each time he starts to dance. Very droll .... ;D ;D

A few days ago I had a friend hear them for the first time, I did not know if he would like them because all he listens to is metalcore and screamo (As I Lay Dying, Norma Jean, Beneath The Sky ect.) . He actually liked them. He thought it was cool on how they incorperate folk elements with metal. That makes 9/10 of my friends like them.
