Fascinating interview. Thanks!
Thank you!
still feeling great with "Flying Samir", i love that that track ... touching.
Learning To Fly is from Elements, haha
Amazing interview. Have much respect for Timo and he’s one of my biggest influences in music 💕🙌🏼 Also loved the nerdy stuff 🤓
Awesome, thanks for feedback!
@@JarkkoLunnas Np! 😊 Another thing I was remembering. Timos way of life, to bee kind to other. When we were in Finnvox recording our third album, Timo visited and borrowed us his 2,5 K eur Amp just because he saw that we could benefit in sound from it. And as 20 years old and a big Strato fan I couldn’t believe it 😊🙌🏼 (We had a really shitty amp brought from Sweden). Cool guy indeed. 💚
Great to hear Timo talk about all these technical things passionately. Great interview
Thanks for feedback!
The Uli-Grapow era Helloween had such a special identity, Sadly the band never got back to such creative heights. Same thing with Fiedman - Era Megadeth , sometimes the sum of band members results in something fresh that can't be replicated with line up changes.
Great Timo!! Hope to see you soon in Italy!! Perkele!!
Brilliant interview!!! And glad to hear a question about Uli Kusch!!! One of a kind drummer, underrated to death, unfortunately.
Glad to hear, thanks for the feedback! 🙌
Great interview and love the quality of video!
Much thanks!
Great interview, I particularly enjoyed the end part
Glad to hear & thanks for the feedback!

Looking forward to more metal reflections!

Glad you liked!
GREAT stuff, Jarkko! Keep on doing these interview episodes, even if you seem to be such a busy guy nowadays...
Cheers mate! 😀✌
Great
Cheers!
Very enjoyable conversation my friend!
Thanks for feedback!
Better than Raw is still the best Helloween album in my opinion and Uli's drum performances are a big reason why. Great interview!
Absolute so & thanks!
i think is a good idea to sell your music through your own website, but i do not think that is a good idea NOW, of course i really wish him the best of luck with that, because i really miss his music
