ZitatHi, i am James - and this is Lars. 3 years ago, we got bored of making metal music . Since i can play violin and trumpet as good as i can play guitar?and Lars plays the accordion and tuba like a young god? we decided to start our own orchestra.
the success was outstanding : our first album "MetallicorE" was the no.1 album in over 80 countries for nearly 10 months.? we were given gold,platinum and diamond trumpets ...and records. traveled from talkshow to talkshow ..and had gigs around the world. that was the time Lars and i rediscovered alcohol?.it was a hard time for both of us. one day we had a big fight about who's going to be the boss of our orchestra. eventually, Lars threw a bottle of slivo at me, took his diamond accordion and flew back to denmark.(we were living in croatia that time) ?that was the reason our second album "ride the trumpet" never got released. millions of fans were getting nervous.
after some months i decided to go back to my wife, kid and rehab. after i left rehab i called Lars.he was jamming with our old friend M.Jackson at the neverland ranch. i grabbed my diamond trumpet and flew my helicopter to neverland. in that week, we recorded hours and hours of wonderful music? ?i also rediscovered alcohol that week again- so straight back to rehab?
two cancelled albums , two times rehab,expensive new violins and trumpets?i was getting short on money. Lars was already selling some of his paintings ,when our friend MJ was injected to death. i realized that releasing our new album (feat the king of pop) would be a perfect move to get some money. ...but MJ's death hit Lars very hard. he was crying in his studio, drinking 10 bottles of slivo a day and he never touched the tuba or accordion that time. it was hard to get him sober again ?took over one year? again no time to release our new album "we are back - feat the king of pop". millions of fans around the world got angry ..sending back their copy of "MetallicorE"
but here we are again?2010 - the year of the trumpet !!!! we put all tunes we did in those years up on soundcloud for free. we learned that there is something more important than money - trumpets !!!
