INFINITE MASS
In 2004 I played guitar/bass with the Mass on a couple of tv shows in Sweden when Joen or Jonas were unavailable.
THE GMEYNER
Fronted by Irya Gmeyner (Urga).
I was involved for a while in late 2003 playing guitar on some demos. Also did one 20-minute gig in Stockholm.
That line-up included Conny Nimmersjö (Bob Hund) - guitar, Stefan Axelsen (Weeping Willows) - bass, Jejo Perkovic (Infinite Mass,Bear Quartet) - drums.
BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN
This was a combination of people from different bands playing some shows in ´86 in the memory of Phil Lynott.They did it again in 1994, and I did 4 of the 10 shows.
I replaced Matti Alfonzetti who had some obligations with his band Skintrade.
John Norum,Göran Elmquist, Tommy Nilsson, Tony Helander were among the members.
ESC
I sang backing vocals at the swedish finals of the Eurovision Song Contest in 2002 & 2006. In 2002 there were five of us backing Tom Nordahl. (Göran Edman, Tomas Wikström, Matti Alfonzetti, Björn Lodin and me).
This year was great since The Poodles became a big success and we all had such a good time Matti was involved here as well, being one of the songwriters/producers.
I’ve played covers with numerous friends during the years,here are some that i still remember:
MONSTERS OF METAL
This is like a development of the Southpaw band, instead of John Levén of bass we had Chris Goldsmith. Later on Johan Niemann replaced Chris and Sami Karppinen replaced Ricky Evensand. Fredrik Åkesson on guitar and me were there from the start.
There’s a dvd recorded from our show at the Sweden Rock kick off (Nov. 29th 2003).
You can buy it from Lasse Niemelä
Some songs:
Battery + Master Of Puppets - Metallica
Queen Of The Reich- Queensryche
Restless&Wild + Fast As A Shark - Accept
Painkiller - Judas Priest
Where Eagles Dare - Iron Maiden
Welcome Home - King Diamond
MASTERS OF REALTID
I had this idea of playing an entire Black Sabbath album instead of doing the usual greatest hits thing. So far we’ve done the first five except for Vol.4. People usually don’t get it, they always scream for bloody ”Paranoid” at the end.
