I always feel sympathy when a guy is serious and does his best. It might be a coincidence, but since we started to play together in HFMC, the guys have been buying basses, cymbals, guitars and effect pedals like there was no economic depreesion at all. Actually, I think these guys alone would have stopped the ongoing financial crisis. What is good with all this, is the fact that it actually makes a difference. All the new instruments and gadgets makes a better sound and a better sound gives your self confidence a boost and if you're confident in what you're doing, you play and sound better. Talking about self confidence. I have to thank all of you out there, for showing such an interrest in a band that has'nt even released a record yet. THANK YOU! In fact when the guys contributed with their own words in the "studio reports", I asked them to tone down the "positivism" a little. All of them replied with: Do you want me to lie? Am I not allowed to write the way I feel? Who am I to tell these guys what to do? I'm just afraid that the expectations for the forthcoming album, which already are sky high, will be impossible to meet.
Now back to the shopping. In this orgie of buying new musical gadgets, Ola all of a sudden showed up with 2 brand new "Apeheads" or should I say "Monkeysculls"? Anyway in Sweden we call them "Apskallar". I almost wet my pants as soon as I saw these buggers. I immediately could hear Ola playing this "Glock, glock" sound, just like Neal Peart during Rush's (heydays) in the late seventies. Actually you can see these fellows in the photo of Ola's drumkit from the studio. If I'm not totally colour blind, which everyone tells me , it's the green and orange little bastards above the high-hat.
