ShamanRunedancer, I think this is said good enough: Since NS is a kind of extremism, it is clear, that Korpiklaani do not support it. Everybody is free to be or not to be politically engaged, to make or not statements on different questions and also has the right to be indifferent towards some situations. I think a lot their fans like Korpikkaani just because they are not politically engaged. Most people like to relax and get merry from the music, not to listen political slogans, no matter they are against NS. Also not every anti-nazi propaganda is good, it can be other form of extremism, like communism for example.

Since NS is a kind of extremism, it is clear, that Korpiklaani do not support it. I never said that I fear Korpiklaani could actively support facism. To be against nazis has basically nothing to do with beeing polital or not,it has to do with basic ethical and human values.You can be political if you are against nazis but you don`t HAVE to be.I know that some-or even many-people make a political issue out of it but I take a critical look on this because non-political people think that they don`t have to care then. As I said above: I was not talking about political engagement. Of course I cannot force anyone,that wouldn`t make any sense as such things really must come from the heart.But I can say my opinion and maybe make some people think about it. Jarkko was not talking about some situations but about any politcal and social issues.I dislike this complete indifference. Although this nazi-subject is important for me and although I like it if people care for this it would be something different if Korpiklaani said something against any other nuisance. And people who are this indifferent should realize some things: 1. The world would be even worse without people who care and could be much better if more people cared. 2. They themselves benefit from people who are/were not indifferent and who want/wanted to chance unjust things because every positive chance based on the fact that some people said that they care,that they don`t look away and that they fight against injustice,discrimination,opression etc. 3. Indifference means passive suppport.With more or less serios consequences.This counts for me,too as of course there are subjects I don`t care about in an active way. There are bands who find really clear words against nazis without beeing a political band as a whole,Unleashed for example who say that they would tell nazi-"fans" to leave the concert immediatly if they saw some at a gig .Would you say that their image is political just because of such statement?They are still a "normal" viking-death-metal band[/color] I was not talking about a change of their whole image and also not about politcal slogans.Please read my postings more carefully.I totally agree with you.I always take a very critical look on anti-nazi-activities-maybe even as critical as on nazi-activities.It can happen that I read a so-called "anti-nazi-statement" and I could puke because it`s completely unintelligent,full of prejudices or similar things. That`s why I try to go my own way. Opression,cencorship,discrimination and loss of freedom are always bad and despicable-regardless if it`s right-or left-winged or anything else.

ShamanRunedancer, we have a saying: "To search a calf under an ox." I'll write no more in this thread.

Hi A few days ago, my friend and I was wathing some Korpiklaani vids. And we began to wonder about one thing- what is natural color of Jonne hairs?

The current one Blonde, with a touch of ginger... I think the main difference in recent video's comes from lighting.

Thank You for answer, humppaporo. I thought that it's bronze because of music videos like for example "Wooden Pints".

hello, i would like to know if are everyone from Korpiklaani married?.-) No, only Jonne is married. Cane also has a family but he's not married. i want to ask Jonne if is here registered Juho:-)Well,is possible to know something more about him?.-)because when i saw some videos on internet,he is quite diffrent from others:-)and i would like to know more about him:-)thanks for answer That's most likely because he doesn't drink. i just release that in the song Syntykoski Syommehessain there is a melody that can be heard too in the fintroll`s song Adhissla but , it was intentional? haha Hardly. But the Aldhissla melody might actually be made by Jonne, so no wonder.

And Jonne is not registered here as Juho, but as Jonne... somehow, that makes a lot more sense to me... ;D (Juho is also registered here (as Juho), as is Jarkko (as Jarkko) and mr Hittavainen (as Hittavainen), as you all could see!! ) Matson and Cane read here, but do not write...

Forgive me if this has already been asked some where back in time/ another thread, but here we go. How come Jonne and Cane moved from Amfisound to ESP? I have a possible reason but I'm not sure if I should say it haha and it may be wrong and I'll look more like an Idiot!

Oh Jeepers Humppi! Well I think it's because the band is making mega bucks now, so perhaps they decided to upgrade to expensive gear? Saying that, Jonne batters one of his ESP guitars around quite alot haha. He let me play it before a gig and he was showing me the teeth marks on it from where he holds it in his mouth when he gets lost in the music on stage. I was in shock because they are fully licensed ESP guitars and they are like £2500 + each. But he is quite crazy anyway. Cane also has the more expensive version of my LTD Eclipse which does look very nice, but I prefer their older guitars, especially Cane's. But Perhaps when they release their 10th studio album they would have custom ESP guitars with Ukko on the headstock in the similar version of the Amfisound guitars. I would actually start saving up now if Jonne strikes a deal with ESP and he releases his own line of korpiklaani Explorers

;D Yep, you did make a fool of yourself ;D ;D It is absolutely not a matter of richness. The Korpiklaani guys are still not making a lot of money... They are not rich at all. They are on stage a lot, count the amount of gigs each year, and you'll understand that they NEED to have good and reliable instruments. And of course their instruments get worn out and sometimes mistreated... think of the almost continous travelling and dragging along. I think that maybe the Amfisound guitars were more beautiful, but the ESP guitars are more sturdy... and the sound is what counts and the deal of course. Guitar builders are of course interested in well-known bands, they make good publicity!

I did? Damn! Well I feel possibly it was a credited theory. I think you are right there Humppi. ESP guitars are sturdy and road worthy. The amount of gigs they do per year is astonishing and I would dread to think the amount of upkeep they need. I know for a fact that the truss rod would have to be adjusted from one climate to another and that in its self is a pain. I still think that using an ESP guitar is a sign of professional statement. Like would you see Metallica use some cheap guitar brand? As a guitarist I tend to look at the gear the guitarist uses. Its bad I know, but if I see that they have expensive gear then I feel more certain that they are professional. This is more prominent when checking out a new band. Altogether I think its fantastic that as you said, guitar builders are intrested in well known bands and for ESP recruiting Korpiklaani so to speak, they will make even more publicity. However I still want to see a Korpiklaani artist range guitar series haha
