that pic is pretty funny. as awesome as their music is, those guys are complete rock stars (in the asshole sense), to the point where i totally believe that they have a private jet. seriously, they must be bigger than the Beatles back in Finland, cuz they sure acted like it when i worked with them...

finland, denmark... who knew

doesn't change the fact that their live show is 85% backing tracks.

which, in turn, doesn't change the fact that the live show is still pretty sweet
