WIG WAM – Teeny (G) (2005) (English)

 

 

 

 

For me the impression as “Trond Holter for DREAM POLICE” was strong and I was really disappointed to find the promotional tour of DREAM POLICE (it was announced with a fan event in some magazines here) for the 2nd album was cancelled as the band broke up. When I talked about it to him he started apologizing like “I’m sorry we couldn’t come to Japan.” even though it was over 10 years ago and was never his fault. When I said “You don’t have to sorry about it.” he said “I think I have a responsibility at least a little.”
Teeny doesn’t like fish, the opposite to Glam. I remember he told that he really got bored of eating fish as he had a lot in his childhood in his hometown where people can have a lot of fish.
He had to let their crew to play rhythm guitars for him instead as his left arm which has been a “tennis arm” for years was getting worse. He says “We don’t want to cancell shows which are already confirmed.” We’re happy to find his arm is getting
much better and he can play all the guitar now. He couldn’t play guitar for 6 years after DREAM POLICE broke up. Please take good care of your arm all the time, Teeny…..

WIG WAM – Glam (Vo) (2005) (English)

 

 

 

Glam is the most popular member of the band thanks to his way of taking care of fans. You see how well he treats them at the official message boards/forums. As long as he has some time he trys to talk to his fans/to be online to answer fans’ questions. Sometimes he trys to have time for fans even when he has to wake up early in the next morning.
He really loves fish – love for Sushi of him and Sporty is incredibly “huge”.
He describes himself as “the turbo guy” in the interview of ours. I think he’s not just in full speed, he really watches others, listens to them carefully and remembers well what we told. The impression of how he looks in those costumes/make-up would let some people think wrong, I can tell you he’s quite a clever person (and so other guys of the band are).
On the other hand he says “I always leave a material in my hotel room (so I have to check double)” *S*

Diesel Dahl (Ds) – TNT (2005)(日本語)

 

やあ、日本に居る友達!
みんな元気でやってる事を祈るよ。俺は元気だよ。息子のMarkusが生まれたんだ。Terje Tyslandのバンドで仲のいい奴等と演ってるよ、TINDRUMのG、Trond (Øien)と、TNTの新譜が発売される迄の間にね。
TNTの新譜は13曲の新曲と、初めて1曲カヴァー曲を収録するんだ。どの曲か当ててみなよ。5月にスペインとイギリスで演ったよ。今度の新譜で初めての来日を果たしたいと思っているんだ。その時逢おうぜ。
Best Of Luck
Diesel Dahl

 

 

WIG WAM – Glam (Vo) (2005)(日本語)

 

やあ日本のみんな!
クレイジーになろうぜ!
君達みんなをロックしに行くぜ。
Love from Glam

 

 

そのマメ男振り故バンド1の人気者のGlam。そのマメ振りは公式サイトの掲示板やフォーラムでのファンへの回答振りにも表れています。時間があればオン・オフライン問わずファンとの交流を欠かしません。時には自らの睡眠時間を削ってでもファンの為に時間を割く事もいとわない人です。
また彼はバンド1の魚介類好きとしても有名。Sportyと共にその寿司好きは半端ではありません。
弊サイトのインタビューで彼は自らを「ターボ・ガイ」と称しています。ただの暴走タイプではなく、他人をよく観察し、その発言をきちんと聞いていますし、記憶力もかなり良いと思います。彼のビジュアル・イメージが与える印象より、ご本人様(Glamだけでなく他メンバーも
そうなのですが)はかなり頭の良い人である事は間違いありません。その反面「必ず1つは何かをホテルの部屋に忘れてきちゃうんだ」という面も(笑)。

WIG WAM – Flash (B) (2005) (English)

 

 

 

Flash always keeps his presense of mind and is a man of few words. It’s hard to find when he wears his make-up, I believe he’s the most handsome guy of the band. *S*
It seems he’s involved with important meetings (paper matters) with people besides the band all the time. We agree that we can trust him a lot.
He doesn’t speak a lot, and his words come out at the right time. When I missed my lunch, he said “You should bring something with you all the time.” You’re absolutely right, Flash.
Thanks to Flash, the band maintains a good balance properly…..
The beer he has on the photo above is “Kirin Ichiban Shibori” which I think the best one in Japan.

WIG WAM – Flash (B) (2005)(日本語)

 

Hello Japan!
すぐにでも君達の素晴らしい国へ行ける事を楽しみにしているよ。
俺達の何人か(S-ROCK注:GlamとSportyです)は寿司が大好きなんだ。
日本でライヴ・アルバムが作れるといいな。
Cheers
Flash, WIG WAM

 

 

バンド1冷静で寡黙な男、Flash。このメイクでは分かりませんが、実は一番の男前(S-ROCK認定・笑)でございます。
バンドの重要な対外的な打ち合わせやギャラのお支払いには必ず彼が関わっている様です。確かに彼に任せておけば安心だと私も思います。口数は少ないですが、ここぞという時にはビシッと発言。昼食を食べ損ねた私に「そういう時の為に必ず何か常備しておくもんだよ」とさりげなく突っ込み。Flashに言われると「そうですよねぇ…」と納得せざるを得ません。
彼が居るから、何かと暴走しがちなGlamに適度にブレーキがかかるのではなかろうかと…(笑)。
因みに、上の写真で彼が持っているのは陣中見舞いとして持参した「キリン一番絞り」でございます。

Gunnar Westlie (G) – EIDSIVATING, DA VINCI (2005) (English)

 

 

 

Gunnar drove us to the studio of Dag, and he and Dag let us listen to many songs of EISIVATING and DA VINCI.. We hope the 1st and 2nd albums of DA VINCI will be re-released (of course digitally remastered) in the near future – if UNIVERSAL doesn’t release them, you guys would buy the master tapes…..we think many labels will be interested and many people would like to buy the albums, how about this idea??? (I should not write this message here *S*)

WIG WAM – Teeny (G) (2005)(日本語)

 

いつか逢えるといいね。
Teeny
Rock on!

 

 

 

私にとっては元DREAM POLICEのギタリストTrond Holterの印象が大変強く、バンドの解散により2ndアルバム発売後のプロモーション来日(ファン・イヴェントも雑誌告知されました)が急遽中止になった事が大変ショックでした。それを話すと、10年以上前の事で決して彼のせいではないのに「あの時は来日出来なくてごめんよ」と…「貴方のせいではないから謝らなくてもいいのに」「いや、やっぱり俺にも少しは責任があるよ」と。
Glamとは正反対で魚介類は一切口にしないTeeny。何でも彼の地元は魚介類の宝庫で、小さい頃食べ尽くしたのでイヤになってしまったとか(苦笑)。
今回のツアーの途中で、長年患っている腱鞘炎悪化の為不本意ながらリズム・ギターをクルーに任せるという選択肢を選びました。「一旦決まったツアー日程をキャンセルしたくないんだ」と彼は言います。幸い症状は改善された様で現在はTeenyが全てのギターを弾いています。DREAM POLICE解散後6年間もギターを弾けなかったそうです。どうぞくれぐれもお大事に…。

Ronni Le Tekrø (G) – TNT (2005) (English)

 

 

 

Ronni is working at his studio in the woods as always. In June we listened to TNT has some vocal tracks and guitar solos left for new album. When I visited his studio he let me listen to 4 songs including Sometimes which will be for the 1st single. Sometimes is a catchy tune which is good for a single cut, I’m sorry other songs didn’t impress me a lot. These days I would like TNT guys just to be doing fine and to keep working for the band…..
