13.10.2010 Zagreb

We had played this venue once before back in 2006 when we supported Satyricon. It’s pretty big one and I think we had a really good night when we were here last time. The breakfast was really good and once I had finished mine I asked for local staff if there’s any good music stores nearby. I broke my tuner in the beginning of this tour and had been using our tour manager slash guitar technician’s one for last 15 shows. The people at the venue were really nice and they managed to get us car transportation to one store, which was located bit further away. The selection wasn’t the most diverse but they had only quality stuff on shelves. I managed to get new Boss tuner, pedal board case, some cables and spare guitar strap, Great success!

After this trip we went to see the city with Nina and Ana, who we met in this same venue back in 2006. We managed to found some souvenirs and had beers at some nice bar. Soon it was time for sound check, which was smooth as ever. Dinner was also pretty good one: mixed grill plate with all kinds of meats and chips. Niilo and me did few interviews before the show and one of the interviewers was able to speak very good Finnish even though she had studied the language only for 2 years.

The show itself was ok for me. Had bit problems with the tuning and my apologies for that. However, the crowd was again just amazing and we ended up having pretty good time on stage! Afterwards it was time for proper party and we spent one of the most fun nights on this tour. Thank you Zagreb, we’ll be back!
