LAURI KOSKENNIEMI - GUITARS

Lauri Koskenniemi Date of Birth: 22/02/86

Equipment: Mainly PRS & Caparison guitars, Marshall amps and cabinets.

Musical background: I started playing guitar at the age of 10, but I wasn't that much into it before I turned 15 and found all the amazing 80's shredder guys. I started practicing like hell and I've loved playing the guitar ever since. I attended a high school which is one of the leading high schools in Finland regarding musical training and from that point on I've tried to include elements from various genres of music to suit my own style of playing.

Current top 5 tracks:
Opeth - Reverie/Harlequin forest
Freak Kitchen - Infidelity Ghost
Alice In Chains - Angry Chair
Björk - Bachelorette
Weeping Willows - Blue and Alone

Best gig: Monsters of the Millennium 2002 (?)

Dream: To tour around the world and to kick ass in every town we play in, and sure, a fast car, new equipment and a huge fan base are always nice bonuses too.

Favourite food/drink: Nepalese food and cold beer!

Best guitar solo: Mattias "IA" Eklundh's solo in Infidelity Ghost and John Petrucci's solo in Under a Glass Moon.

Hobbies: Playing the guitar, drinking beer, sleeping, playing the guitar, partying, watching tv, playing the guitar.. Well, you know the drill.
