Where did you meet the new singer?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 &#8220;I knew dave since about 2002&#8230; then he called me in 2003 and asked if I wanted<br \/>\n\u00a0 to bang sum drums in his band.. so i showed up for rehearsal and it was decided<br \/>\n\u00a0 pretty much from that moment on&#8230; Peter and Martin knew each other from a previous<br \/>\n\u00a0 band. Peter met Dave at a ONKEL KONKEL concert and Dave asked if he wanted to<br \/>\n\u00a0 join CRASHD\u00cfET since he shared the same interest of standing in front row<br \/>\n\u00a0 naked peeing on the band playing&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>When we want to get to know you, we want to know more about your personality. If you would be an animal, what animal would you be, and why do you think this animal matches your personality?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 &#8220;I would be a turtle since im helpless when lying on my back&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where do you get inspiration from when writing songs? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 &#8220;Satan&#8230;haha no but Kiss, Nirvana, Hardline, Ozzy, life, lots of stuff really&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are you still nervous before the shows? What do you do to calm down? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 &#8220;Yeah some times more than other, a shot or two of J\u00e4germeister usually<br \/>\n\u00a0 does the trick&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you still remember the first time you were on stage? How was it? And how do you feel now?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 &#8220;I was pretty drunk so I guess I felt quite drunk I suppose, but its probably<br \/>\n\u00a0 the same today, You get excited, the adrenaline starts to rush just as the intro<br \/>\n\u00a0 start&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>With having so many international fans around, do you still have contact with fans who already know you from the start?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 &#8220;Yeah, we keep contact with our fans through our forum, and of course on gigs&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you have some funny backstage stories to share with us?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 &#8220;Well one time when we arrived to Luzern, Switzerland to do a gig&#8230; I went backstage<br \/>\n\u00a0 to get some catering, and found a nicely decorated plate with pineapple, some<br \/>\n\u00a0 cheese, some ham and a big pile of shit. It turned out it was Adde from Hardcore<br \/>\n\u00a0 who had already been quick in to the catering and had some fun&#8230; we got naked<br \/>\n\u00a0 and drunk together later that night and snorted sugar out of Peters ass so we<br \/>\n\u00a0 all just laughed about it&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>A question you probably get to hear quite often: What made you get back together and continue?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 &#8220;The urge to play good music, especially together with Martin and Peter since<br \/>\n\u00a0 they are like my brothers now&#8230;the lepard family was a big support and last<br \/>\n\u00a0 but not least of course the fact that the fans were really supportive of us<br \/>\n\u00a0 going on&#8230; basically lots of stuff&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where would you like to see your band in the future, let&#8217;s say in five years?<br \/>\nAny dreams or hopes? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 &#8220;Well, the dream would be to play maybe 4000-5000 arena&#8217;s all around the world,<br \/>\n\u00a0 then gradually work ourselves up from there&#8230; if we would be playing bigger<br \/>\n\u00a0 venues by 5 years from now I would fear it would fade out as quick&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Would you like to see yourself playing stadium gigs, like Metallica does?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 &#8220;Of course if we were asked to do it, and knew there would be an interest from<br \/>\n\u00a0 the fans, anytime man!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>When thinking of the future, is there anyone you want to collaborate or tour<br \/>\n\u00a0 with? Is there any particular producer, singer, band??<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 &#8220;Well it would be awesome to play some arena gigs with KISS!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>With whom was it the most fun working with so far?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 &#8220;I&#8217;d say everyone weve worked with this far concerning music has been a blast!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>How would you define &#8220;success&#8221;? When are you satisfied? And how do<br \/>\n\u00a0 you handle it? What keeps you down to earth? (because you are)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 &#8220;Well, success for me I guess, if I get mails from people saying that we are<br \/>\n\u00a0 doing something that is changing their lives, in positive way of course&#8230; and<br \/>\n\u00a0 if I could just live off the music, and continue to give the world what I think<br \/>\n\u00a0 it needs! I would handle it how I see fit I guess, I&#8217;m confident that I will<br \/>\n\u00a0 take it the right way. What keeps me down to earth I guess it&#8217;s just to keep<br \/>\n\u00a0 cool, and never forget that without fans you don&#8217;t get anywhere!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 <strong>Besides Crashdiet, does anyone of you have other bands or side projects?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 &#8220;Our singer Olli sings in a band called Reckless Love&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you have any idols?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 &#8220;Yeah of course, Vinnie Paul, Jeff Porcaro and mom&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is there a country\/city\/club you prefer playing at or where it&#8217;s the most fun?<\/strong><br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 &#8220;Stockholm I guess&#8230; always a tremendous response and we always have a kick<br \/>\n\u00a0 ass time here&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do the audiences differ from place to place?
