in 2012 our world will change positively for the human mankind!

drink clear water.
breath deep and slowly.
go outside and enjoy the nature.
don't trust your ego - trust your fellings.
follow your dreams. beware of illusions.
if you do this i promise you: your life will change the best way!

kind regards!

Tror nok Bonham tydde til ulovlige substanser for å holde ut det der:) Ellers alt vel her. Ikke så mye spilling for tida, men har begynt å forske - på musikkterapi, groove og psykoser. Tror det blir kjekt. God sommer!

Hi Torstein!
I wanna thank U so much for two amazing and fantastic Maria Mena-shows (Stuttgart & Frankfurt, Germany)!!!
Really love your drumming-style - heavy, hard, loud..that's the way it should be!! :-)
I did play some drums hundred years ago (now..with a little bit luck..I might be able to play the
intro of "I love it loud" haha..)it's still my favorit instrument that moves me deep inside.
You do a GREAT job, KISS-buddy! :-)
Hope there will be some summer surprise shows 2009!!!
I'm sure we will meet again..just check the 1st row from time to time ;-)
All the best,
**JASMIN**
