Ostersund
26 Sept '02
The coldest days...
2760km, 16 hours traveling, to live the coldest days of my
life, and not just for the weather. This report is going to
be a very short one, both because I don’t have much
to say and because I don’t want to be unkind and say
bad things. I arrived in Ostersund on wednesday 25th, but
met Andreas only when they arrived in the afternoon the day
after. He was really “shocked and astonished”
(his words) to see me there, but he didn’t really look
happy at all. They were very late and he was very nervous,
so no time for talking. The gig was nothing special, same
setlist of the july shows course, a lot of drunk girls pushing
and screaming.
After the gig he talked a lot to Scattered Heart and nothing
at all to me, so I hope she has something more to say. We
(with Anna – Song to a butterfly) then went for after
party with Jarmo, Per and Mats and had a lot of fun with them.
The day after we went with them in their bus to Sundsvall,
and I gave Andreas all the gifts, we talked just a few minutes
and then it was all again Swedish talking.During the sound
check there was one of the few happy moments of those days
for me, because Andreas sang a bit of Sweetest Temptation
while hanging around with his guitar. The show was a short
one, they couldn’t play the acoustic part because the
stage was too small and they didn’t even play Spaceless,
but in my opinion this gig was better than the other one.
After the show we went to a club with Andreas, Jarmo and Mats
and again he talked just a few minutes with me and then again
only in Swedish with Anna. Back in the hotel we found Per
and Mikael drinking beers in a small conference room, and
we joined them. Andreas didn’t stay much with us, and
in the end he disappeared without even saying goodbye. Me
and Anna remained with the other four guys until morning (it
was 6 a.m. when we said bye bye), I couldn’t understand
much of what they were laughing about because they only spoke
Swedish, but “The Per Frisk Show” was anyway something
really funny.
My comments… both the shows were good
enough, even though far below the levels reached in the two
Stockholm gigs, and Andreas was absolutely someone else than
the man we met in July. I don’t know why, I don’t
know what was wrong with him or with me, but he was very cold
and insensitive. On the other hand, Jarmo, Per, Mikael and
Mats were very kind, and if this site was about them this
report would have been much longer… thank you guys,
keep on the good job. A lot of people are saying that I was
jealous and that he's wonderful and sweet and so on. FIRST:
I was not jealous at all, what should I've been jealous of?
I was in the bus with them, I was in both the afterparties
with them, so? I was only DISAPPOINTED because for some reason
I don't know he didn't behave like he did in Stockholm, for
some reason he was not the sweetest man on the planet I met
in Stockholm. I spent a lot of time with him, mostly in july
(please read the report) so stop saying me "he's sweet
and kind and bla bla", I PERFECTLY KNOW IT.
