To my regular readers- I am so sorry. I haven't been writing anything for the last few months, my life has been busy with personal and family matter, no concerts no travelling...but still. I can tell something.
Here's an update on the the past months:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Books: I have been reading a lot, and among other things - rock biographies:
Ketih Richards - Life
Great honest book, the one that triggered my interest to keep reading. Do not read this book if you are a fan of Mick Jagger ;-) Recommended
Slash - Slash
After reading this book I felt quite differently about the rebell. Still a rebell, still a lot of stupid things, but deep in he's a nice guy. Recommended
Nikky Sixx - The heroin diary
wow - really painful reading. I felt so bad for the bloke. Read this if you ever think about trying heroin - beforeyou try. Recommended
Tommy Lee - Tommyland
A sensitive guy with a little too much of himself. Not the best choice. Read it for entertainment, not for an insight.
Åge Aleksandersen - Åge (Norwegian rocker)
Good, open honest book, not telling all the details, like the one's above is, but still enought to get an insight of his live as a norwegian rockstar. Recommended.
Books in line for reading:
Toni Lommi - Iron man
Mötley Crue - The Dirt
Then we'll see where I go after that :-) If any of you knows of books that I definately should read, please let me know.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Concerts:
I wish I had news for you there. I would have loved to be in Stockholm in March for Joe Bonamassa, and Sweden Rock in June would have been great, but I this moment I do not know where I will end up.
Looking for new bands in my Genre "Classic Rock". That is bands that plays that 70's and 80's rock, even though I think some new bands are good as well. Please let me know if there are bands that you think would fit my taste :)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Travel:
Since Alice Cooper in London I have only been travelling once, and that was for Stockholm, and for business. In other words - I have been home for a long time, longer than for years actually. And what do I think of that? I think it is great. I wouldn't mind travelling some, but not as much as last year.
So plans that I know of now - I will have a weekend with the girls from work in Tallin/Estonia soon, and I will go to Italy/Milan again in March for a 3 day trip(work), and that is really all that is scheduled right now. I will most likely have a weekend with Bjørn somewhere during the spring, but I will get back to travelling when more details are clear.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Movies:
I have also been to a lot of Movies this year, some Norwegian films, some international best-sellers and some underdogs. Thats one of the perks by staying home :)
Some of the movies I have seen is My Week With Marily, Sherlock Holmes, Girl Wirh The Dragon Tattoo, Varg Veum's latest and Chronicle. I really do think movies are best at the Cinema. I will try to keep it up.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
I promise that I will try to update with shorter intervals from now on.
Rock on readers :) \m/
