Kids will have their say


Yeah! Right on! How old is that kid? Ten? Twelve? The small man showed real guts as he was blasting through some rock classics at the most incredible volume in front of the fancy pantsy shops in downtown Helsinki. Awesome! I wouldn´t have gotten away with it but kiddo turned the place into a gold mine. What the picture fails to show is the huge pile of Euro coins on his guitar bag! If he continues like this he´s gonna be huge one day - remember you saw him first on LIFE IN HEL.

Please note the Iron Maiden shirt. I see a lot of kids here in Finland wearing metal shirts. First I thought that most of them must be stuffed into rock apparel by their parents and actually can´t tell the difference between Judas Priest and the Teletubbies. But no! Finnish kids know their metal pretty damn well. That´s because metal is played here on the radio and I´m not talking about some pirate channel broadcasting from a ghost ship at night time. Radio Rock for example is playing death metal and grindcore on a Sunday afternoon. Heavy Metal is the law!

SONGS FOR TODAY:

Anvil - Metal on Metal


Iron Maiden - The Trooper
