exactly. i don't believe in luck. Actually small amount of luck is welcome, just to get to some point(or someone) a little bit easier and faster maybe. But it's not crucial for sure,hard work and devoting is. -------------------- Youtube

I think it's quite hard to stay together for 20 years+. That probably means, you guys just fit eachother, that's cool!

Of course being lucky once in a while is a nice thing, but you just can't make any plans for your own future based on luck, if luck is all you have to offer you won't survive, period! And Kristofer is absolutely right, quality takes time, of course it is possible to write a full album in a few weeks and record it in another few weeks,but will the songs be good ones in the end? Will the album sound good? I have my doubts... well, I know that I can't write songs like that at least

Well I believe that there are two major things in life, things that depend on us and the things that don't. For the things that depend on us, we cannot hope for the luck but work hard to achieve it, but also need a bit of luck that the other things align with us as well So well explained. There is an old saying that might be appropiate too, it's something like "Chance favors the prepared mind" I believe that's true. -------------------- Guitars:

So well explained. There is an old saying that might be appropiate too, it's something like "Chance favors the prepared mind" I believe that's true. This is definitely true. German golf pro Bernhard Langer once hit an incredible ball that was actually stuck in a tree, and when some guy asked him in an interview about his immense luck with this ball, his answer was "Yeah, funny, the harder I practice the luckier I get"...

You want to hear something funny about the old BG times? Lol, actually I had to think of this while recording my warming up lesson... back then, warming up for us looked like this... we put our hand above a heater for about 5 minutes

How do you feel about BG cover bands or bands playing BG covers? Does it compliment you that young people are trying to play your music and enjoy that?
What are your memories of Belgrade and the concert you had here on 22 jul 2007 ? Cheers -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

Of course it is great to see that our music means something to new bands, that we are inspiring or influencing them, so yeah, I love to hear covers that other bands do of our songs. And we also love covering other bands from time to time, like we did with Queen, Deep Purple and many others. And that gig in Belgrade was awesome, all the shows that we played there on the last tour rocked. The only problem that we had last time was our Nightliner, it was so damn hot and the aircondition was about to die The outside temperature was like 42° and inside the bus, WITH the aircondition working, it was around 38°... But playing in Belgrade definitely rocked.
