Hey guys, from Chile this question:
is it necessary to have singing songs in your albums?, at least I prefer your instrumental themes.
Re: APOCALYPTICA 3x4: YOUR QUESTIONS STRAIGHT TO THE BAND!
How do you match the titles to the songs without lyrics? Since I became a fan of yours I was wondering about this. It's really intriguing. Thank you for the answer. Greetings from Poland and see you in October!

Re: APOCALYPTICA 3x4: YOUR QUESTIONS STRAIGHT TO THE BAND!
Have you Eicca and Paavo ever tried to sing and thought about some little part or whole song you would sing? If yes how was it or why you would/wouldn't like to do this.
Re: APOCALYPTICA 3x4: YOUR QUESTIONS STRAIGHT TO THE BAND!
What do you say to those who believe the stereotype that Metal/Rock music can only be made with a guitar...?
Re: APOCALYPTICA 3x4: YOUR QUESTIONS STRAIGHT TO THE BAND!
Did Apocalyptica once visit the Scarborough renaissance festival near Dallas and get a psychic reading and some good song/video concepts from the guy at The Angelsword booth...?

Hello
.
)
You are very popular over the see, but I am little disapointed with the USA, hope after 7 th Simphony it will be different, something will change.I would like to hear more of your music on the radio, in the morning when average Joe is driving on the work with his cup of cofee, or in the comercials , or maybe movies. Kind of tired explaining people how great and perfect band your are, and what expert musician you guys are. Maybe you should make something like ... more promotions here, stop by the radio stations, send them your work so they can put your songs in the air???
Or maybe you just want to go natural way
Are you guys ready to be a part of the music machinery or you will continue your way? Continue to make good songs , they are very inspirative and come more often to USA
Good luck and God bless you all four

Re: APOCALYPTICA 3x4: YOUR QUESTIONS STRAIGHT TO THE BAND!
Your sound and style has changed so much since your first albums. Do you still feel a strong connection to your older music (like Cult), or do you connect more strongly with your newer music?
Re: APOCALYPTICA 3x4: YOUR QUESTIONS STRAIGHT TO THE BAND!
HAVE U EVER DATED A FAN OR WOULD YOU EVEN CONSIDER TO DO SO AND WHY?
Re: APOCALYPTICA 3x4: YOUR QUESTIONS STRAIGHT TO THE BAND!
Which classical composers do you each feel drawn to and why?
Re: APOCALYPTICA 3x4: YOUR QUESTIONS STRAIGHT TO THE BAND!
My friend Tracy recently interviewed you guys when you did a show up in Detroit, she asked many of the questions I was wondering. I know that you are classically trained and performed, choosing instead to direct yourselves in the "Metal" genre of music. I love that you have blended the two together and look forward to more. What other Classical Greats do you think you might try your hand at ? When you do have lyrics and are sung, your vocals are clean without the "cookie monster" sound, which makes me love your music even more. Many current Metal bands are also including women, as their lead vocals, I myself find your band fine the way it is, but do you think that might be something you would experiment with ? Your newest video was done at a church in Los Angeles, where I am originally from, may I ask what church was it ?

Re: APOCALYPTICA 3x4: YOUR QUESTIONS STRAIGHT TO THE BAND!
As a good friends for so many years do you have any nicknames for eachother?
What you are good at besides playing cello ( Mikko drums) is some of you good at art like painting, sport or something else?
Love you guys! Can't wait for the 7th symphony!

Re: APOCALYPTICA 3x4: YOUR QUESTIONS STRAIGHT TO THE BAND!
What's your own all-time favourite apocalyptica song? Why? What makes you feel?
How do you compose your own songs (for Apo or other projects)? I know you sometimes use other instruments, but for example, do you use any notation software or do you write in a piece of paper? How's the proces like?
Re: APOCALYPTICA 3x4: YOUR QUESTIONS STRAIGHT TO THE BAND!
Do you think Apocalyptica and Metallica will ever tour together? If you do, you need to come to Nashville, TN!! Your music is amazing! It is so cool that you are able to bring classical cello to modern music! Have you ever thought about using other instruments and/or distorting them in your music? (using a bow on the guitar might sound cool, or using special effects pedals on your cellos would be neat too!) Thanks so much for taking the time to answer questions!

Manchester is the home of a 4 day music and arts festival called Bonnaroo. You guys should come play!! (Metallica played a few years back and we amazing!)
Re: APOCALYPTICA 3x4: YOUR QUESTIONS STRAIGHT TO THE BAND!
Hmm...too many questions, too little time. I suppose I'd like to know what makes you tick. What exactly is going through your mind when you're playing a show and you see hundreds- if not thousands- of fans that truly love and appreciate what you do? Oh, and I can't wait to see you guys in Atlanta. You're such an inspiration. Love you guys!
~You're such a lovely inspiration to me~
Re: APOCALYPTICA 3x4: YOUR QUESTIONS STRAIGHT TO THE BAND!
Many times you perform without shirts on, which I understand because it gets very hot up on stage. But, I cannot help wondering what the sweat and body oil does to your instruments. Isn't that bad for the wood? Or, do you have some way to protect them?
Thank you, and looking forward to seeing you in Seattle (if I ever get an answer from your ticket seller about how many tickets are actually in the VIP package).

Re: APOCALYPTICA 3x4: YOUR QUESTIONS STRAIGHT TO THE BAND!
Hmmm, of all the instruments out there you could play what drew you guys to te cello?

Re: APOCALYPTICA 3x4: YOUR QUESTIONS STRAIGHT TO THE BAND!
Well I have a question for you that I keep thinking about 2 months now....
When you decided to devote all your time to Apocalyptica, your colleagues didn't like it at all...
Now you are a well know band... and you showed to all of them that apocalyptica really worked! What do you wanna say to them? Wanna hit them? (I would.. hahaha)
By the way... thank you for your awesome music!!!
Re: APOCALYPTICA 3x4: YOUR QUESTIONS STRAIGHT TO THE BAND!
My questions are: 1, if you ever had to choose between expressing important feelings throught music you really like to do or exploring new styles and/or ways to compose, what would you choose and why? And 2, how much time do you think it will take to one of you (let's say mikko, for example) to say "but the music I like to play IS the result of exploration!"?
Re: APOCALYPTICA 3x4: YOUR QUESTIONS STRAIGHT TO THE BAND!
Hi Guys...
Uff, exist many questions, but... here I go.
1) Have you been beaten with your instruments live?
I mean... If Mikko has been beaten with a drumstick or if any of you have been beaten with your cello or the bow... or something like that.
2) Which animal represent everyone of you?
And...
3) For any destiny reason, you (only the four, Eicca, Paavo, Perttu and Mikko) come to a desert island with the same personal items they carry in their tour (which would include their instruments).
- What would you do to get out of there?
Greetings from Bogotá - Colombia (we hope see you soon)

Re: APOCALYPTICA 3x4: YOUR QUESTIONS STRAIGHT TO THE BAND!
Most of your songs are without lyrics, some songs have two versions (one with and one without lyrics). Is it a decision you make before writing the song if you add lyrics or not, or is it just the final result of the songwriting process?
Are there some lyrics you never published?
Often when I'm listening to your music I'm wondering what you where thinking of, when you wrote it? Some songs have this kind of atmosphere (f.e. Ruska or Farewell) that makes me really curious.
See you in autumn!
There's still hope
Re: APOCALYPTICA 3x4: YOUR QUESTIONS STRAIGHT TO THE BAND!
Greetings from Ukraine!
Firstly I would like to thank you very much for your wonderful concerts in Ukraine!
What do you think about the Ukrainian national cuisine? Do you like the Ukrainian borsch?
I hope you will soon arrive with your new album! And thank you for what we heard at the concert your wonderful new songs!
Thanks for your attention!
Re: APOCALYPTICA 3x4: YOUR QUESTIONS STRAIGHT TO THE BAND!
What inspires you to continue making music?
What special message you can give to your fans that try to make music, because you inspired them? [I'm included]
Thank you so much guys for an amazing day on July, 9. Hope you return to Mexico soon. Thanks for your music; keep inspiring me!

What's your favorite band or musician? (I mean, your favorite ever)
What would you think about yourselves as a fan?
You are part of my life's soundtrack.
Re: APOCALYPTICA 3x4: YOUR QUESTIONS STRAIGHT TO THE BAND!
If you had to introduce the world to one classical composer through your albums, who would it be and why?
Do you think that music should be classified into genres, or do you think that there are now so many overlaps that this has become irrelevant?
And thank you very much for your wonderful music, can't wait to hear the rest of the new album
Re: APOCALYPTICA 3x4: YOUR QUESTIONS STRAIGHT TO THE BAND!
Have you ever considered doing more silent animation for some of your songs that could tell a short story?

Re: APOCALYPTICA 3x4: YOUR QUESTIONS STRAIGHT TO THE BAND!
What has been your most surreal moment in your career?
What is the craziest fan experience you have encountered?
If you could go back in time, knowing what you would end up doing now, would you still choose the same options or is there something you would have done differently?
Thank you for everything, your music is an inspiration! "Beautiful" is breath-taking, its awe inspiring and I can't wait to hear more off the new album! Love you all! x
