made on 23.08.2005 via email from Helsinki, Finland by Jo a.k.a. Mama Trash
jo aka mt69: What made you become a drummer? How old were you when you hit the skins for the first time?
Jussi: I was fascinated by drums cause you could make the biggest noise with them and I always thought that drummers were the coolest. Can´t remember how old I was but it was at school when I kicked the shit out of the drums there and I never looked back since.
mt69: The 69 Eyes have been together a very long time. What is it about each of you that has kept the band together and successful?
Jussi: We all share the same kind of passion for rock and roll. We are hungry for that rock and roll adventure, we never gave up and we won´t stop.
mt69: I
asked Jyrki this,
but would like to see what you think. Give me one word to describe each of
you. Bazie:
Focused.
Jussi: I was about to say something "funny" here but never mind...My worst habit: like I already said I make a terrible mess where ever I go.
Jussi: What is spare time?? Ok, I love to hang out with my friends, party, same shit as everybody else likes to do...
Jussi: Not on tour: See
the answer above. On tour every day is the same but different. Wake up, find
coffee (loads), do interviews, sound check, try to find time to eat, more
interviews, photos, meet&greet with fans or record company people, do
the show, start drinking, find out where the party is, meet old friends, make
new friends, go to the next city or country and start all over again. It might
be exhausting but I love it more than anything!
Jussi: I AM a cartoon character already and let me tell you...it does not suck to be Jussi 69!
Jussi: A girl to keep me company, a ghetto blaster to keep our party going and a boat to get us the hell out when we would get bored.
Jussi: AFI, My Chemical Romance, Slipknot, Trashlight Vision, Wednesday 13, Mötley. There are just so many.
Jussi: Joined The 69 Eyes.
mt69: Most embarrassing moment on stage?
Jussi:
I've fell off the
stage many times, I've lost my pants, I've hurt myself really bad but to be
honest I don't really get embarrassed by things like that, we're a rock
band.
Jussi: I love both.
It's amazing to play on a huge stage for a huge crowd but it's so cool to rock out at
some small club too where you can see everybody's face and literally smell the
audience. I just love to play.
Jussi: Invincible. I'm a superman and down to kill when I'm on stage. mt69: If you were put in charge to put together the ultimate 69 Eyes tour who would you like to tour with you? Jussi: Mötley Crue, HIM and Trashlight Vision!
Jussi I don't miss anything while I'm on tour and my cell is the only thing I can't be without.
mt69: How many crunches do you do per day to keep your abs looking so tight? (hee, hee)
Jussi: C'mon Jo... (I had to ask for the ladies!!)
mt69: Message for your fans?
Jussi: You rock my world!
