Hey, this is Kristian from Finland. You can call me Kris, or Chris, or Frans... ? Nick comes from the song "The Shooting Company of Captain Frans B. Cocq". Yeah, I'm a huge Ayreon fan. 8) I stumbled upon this forum while googling for Ibanez ART500, and this looked so cool I had to register.

I'm a 17-year old poor student, so I don't really have money for all the cool equipment I'd like to get my hands on... I only have an endless GAS. what I use now:
- Ibanez RGR08LTD (kickass metal axe!)
- Heavily modded Squier Affininy Strat (and there's always something wrong with it... eternal project)
- Fender DG-4SB dreadnought
- Yamaha CG101A classical
- At home I have a Roland Micro Cube :-[ ?

What else? Well, I'm into progressive rock/metal (mainly modern), some more conventional death metal, folk metal, and everything that sounds good. Fav bands include Ayreon, Opeth, Tool, Iron Maiden, Meshuggah, Cynic, SOAD etc. I also play in a kickass prog metal band (I do the songs). Favorite guitarists might be dudes like Robert Fripp and Adam Jones.

            Is that north or south Cape Town?

              Amorphis is my favourite band at the moment. Gosh I love the melodic element they present.

              Gothenburg in Sweden is also a must. I would say the ultimate pilgrimage if you're a metal head.
                Thanks, everybody!
                @Squonk - We eat organic products, just like everyone else... although people say that the Finnish kitchen is the worst in Europe (even worse than the British)
                @Lethe - Nah, Amorphis is not amongst my favorites

                BTW, gotta say that Swedes beat us in metal.

                  They say that if you die and go to heaven then the English greet you at the door, the Germans organise everything, the Italians provide the entertainment and the French do the cooking.

                  But if you are unfortunate enough to go to Hell then you will find the French greet you at the door, the Germans provide the entertainment, the Italians organise everything and the English do the cooking.
