Best Triosphere moment » Every single time I hear our intro roll and know there is only seconds left before we enter the stage!
Worst Triosphere moment » These two guitarists in the band seem to have almost made it into a sport to see how close to show-time they can wait before they change strings on their guitars (and they change strings before EVERY show). I normally always get pretty stressed and worried about the tuning when they go at it only an hour before we enter the stage, but one time nearly gave me a heart-attack: We were the headlining act down at Gran Canaria, the intro had started rolling (which means we only have little more than a minute before we let everything loose), and T.O. was sitting down to his elbows in the guitar's floyd rose, attacking it with half a fork and trying to replace a tiny piece that would attach the string to the bridge and THEN tune it! Half the band was heading down to the stage, the other half seemed to be preparing dinner a la Floyd n' strings, and keeping me from just blacking out, haha. How the hell T.O. managed to get ready in time I seriously do not understand, but I suspect there's still a 1/4 fork in the guitar somewhere! The gig itself turned out to be one of the best Triosphere-moments.

Best Triosphere moment » The entire Dio gig at Sentrum Scene in Oslo, I just felt that we really were on top of our game that night!
Worst Triosphere moment » The entire week we were supposed to play in Spain and Italy with Kotipelto and Chric Caffery, but ended up just "waiting" around Europe for the tour to go on the following week due a fuck up that led to all those dates being canceled... We had been looking forwards to playing in Spain and Italy for months, so those shows not happening was a big blow to the bands morale and motivation. We'll make it up to the Spanish and Italian fans though.. :-)
Must-have on tour » Ørjan, Ida and T.O :-)

Best Triosphere moment » Elysee Montmartre, Paris (supporting W.A.S.P.) - A mythical venue with history back to the 19th century residing in its walls, and with energy and atmosphere onstage that is not likely to be found elsewhere!
Worst Triosphere moment » The European tour had lots of ups and even more lots of downs - there's nothing worse on tour than having your shows cancelled! However we made it into an excellent roadtrip!
Must-have on tour » Camera, toothbrush, coffeecup? And a lot of really bad jokes.
