Madrid - June 27, 2005

The Rasmus frontman, Lauri Ylönen, travelled to Madrid to meet 3 readers of the magazine and to talk to them their new projects. The guy is very nice!!

Lorena, Ana y Tamar couldn't sleep the night before. It was Monday in the morning, when they took their buses to come to Madrid just to know their idol. Near 2 o'clock, Lauri was waiting for them in his hotel room. How nice!! We didn't find him resting in his bed just with his boxers though, seeing him in his chair looking at us, was exciting in the same way!!

When we were just arrived (the fans, our director "Horzo", the photographer and the redactor) the singer received us with a big smile, gave us two kisses (sonorous kisses like the grandmas) and invited us to sit by him. He is a very attentive, nice and kind guy, and well, have to say he's so much beautiful in person!!

(Here they talk about his clothes and the fact why he's wearing a cap with 30 heat degrees, I dont think it's important really).
The fans asked him things about the band, and like we waited from him, he answered everything.
The girls talked with him about something that really worries them: in Spain doesnt let people under 16 to get in clubs for concerts. For example Ana, who tried twice!!
Lauri told them some soothing words: "You're gonna be 16 soon, and we're gonna be coming back to Spain for a long time".
And between signatures, questions and laughs, we could hear the new single No fear in his laptop. What a nice evening!!

Now the comments in the pics:

We asked him what would he like to be if he was not more in music.
Lauri put an interesting face and told us: "I'm in this bussiness since I was 15. I didn't go to the highschool and I didn't want to work, that's why I never thought about being something else. But I love cooking. Yeah!! I would be a chef about spicy food!!".

He put this face when we asked him about girls. He didn't tell so much, but told us that the most important thing for him is to be able to trust her.

When he's in Spain, he always ask for an issue of the mag, he likes it!!

He put a thoughtful face when talks about Hide From The Sun, their new LP. "It's the most spontaneous, 'cause we recorded it while we were touring, without thinking!!"

The finnish guy doesn't stop smiling when he remembers the things he likes the most in his free time, like to navigate in a boat in the finnish lakes or to go fishing.

Before he signed all the fan's albums, he wrote them a very special signature in a sheet of paper. How attentive he is!!

Well, and here they describe some little piccies where Lauri's watching a collage that the fans did with some faces from the Spanish fan club, where he signed something from some fan's drums and signing their albums.

And then there are some pics of the Making off No Fear and the guys talking with the director of the mag, and a little comment: Berlin was the city that The Rasmus chosed to record their new videoclip from their new single No Fear. An abandoned electric central... How scaring!! Loka went to Germany and we didn't lose a second from the recording of the vid, and we talked a bit with guys. Soon in Loka, so much more information and a special about The Rasmus with info, pics and all we lived there.
