All didn't go fine in Russia for Lordi. We know we need to have visas to get to Russia - but how to get OUT? Namely, the band and all its entourage had visas organized for them by their local manager to go and perform but they ended at midnight. At 4am in the train on the way to Tallinn after their gigs in Moscow and St.Petersburg the group was woken up at the border in Ivangorod and kicked out of train because of "expired visas". They were kept at the station in the rain and wind with all their instruments and gear until afternoon before matters were settled and they were let to cross the border. By foot! Luckily a bus was waiting for them at the Estonian side and managed to take them in Tallinn at time for the night's concert. "I'm from Lapland and Russia is the big monster. It's in my genes. Nothing else in that country is sure but unsure", comments Mr Lordi. "I would understand if they didn't let us in but not letting us out!? The local culture is that if you can boss around, you do boss around! Luckily the fans are all the same everywhere!". Lordi has kicked off their Europe for Breakfast tour with new drummer Otus. This weekend Lordi is back to Finland with gigs in Turku and Helsinki.
