Honestly, I think money helps of course for many things but what's wrong with earning a living with the music you make? Isn't it the most wonderful job for a musician? I think each Lordi member is primarly in the band because of their love for music. But what's wrong with these advantages? Yeah, you do what you love to do and it's quite normal for a musician to have such advantages to meet some other bands when they play in the same festival for example. After all, they do the same job : music!

But since there is finnish people who them are nice enough to translate (or resume) us what was say we soon will know as much then him
Awa told yesterday about leaving the band and playing the last gig with Lordi in Rovaniemi Simerock on August 11.
"Playing in Lordi has been very wonderful experience, clearly the best time of my life. I've always liked Lordi very much, its music and image and will follow their doings later," she told.
"Lordi-crew was and will be like a second family and will miss the band and the fans. 7 years in the band has still been physically and emotionally very demanding and wearying. I have to give 100% in the band. If it doesn't work out, you have to let go and give a space for something new.
Leena Peisa, 33, who is behind Awa's character, told Iltalehti what made the decision to finish. Falling in love with an Italian man played a major role in the decision.
"7 years I've been involved in with it. I met my current boyfriend after 2006 Eurovision victory in Europe tour, where he played in Lordi's warm-up band. That's where our friendship began, but now it's the love."
Peisa lives most of the time in Ancona, Italy.
He remembers that the time in Lordi was very cool.
Also playing in the mask was a drawback.
"My eyes were irritated because of the contact lens used and the sultry mask caused a rash. I remember the time being very cool. I met many world stars, like Metallica members and Muse stars."

Isa wrote:Oh don't worry we don't mind that of Finnish. I have a lot of finnish friends and they are all except arrogant, it's even more contrary
I somewhere "tease" a bit Joni, I mind what I told about him but I think he know that I still don't hate him, somewhere I should miss him if he shouldn't be there even I'm far to be his fans

Joni Master wrote:Awa valitsi rakkauden
Italialaismieheen rakastunut Awa jättää bändinsä, viisuvoittaja Lordin.
Juha Veli Jokinen (juhaveli.jokinen@iltalehti.fi)
Eron taustalla on myös rakkaus italialaismuusikkoon. Leena asuu jo suurimman osan vuotta Italiassa Anconan kaupungissa. Viimeisen kerran yhtyeen rivissä Awa soittaa 11. elokuuta Rovaniemen Simerockissa.
– Lähden haikein mielin, ilman mitään riitaa. Inspiraatio nyt vain loppui. Seitsemän vuotta olin mukana. Tapasin nykyisen poikaystäväni Cosimon , 35, Ateenan viisuvoiton jälkeen vuonna 2006 Euroopan kiertueella, missä hän soitti Lordin lämppäribändissä. Se oli aluksi ystävyyttä, mutta nyt jo rakkautta, Leena sanoo.
Leena aikoo jatkaa uraansa muusikkona, mutta tällä kertaa ilman naamiota.
Aikaa Lordin kanssa Awa muistelee upeana, vaikka raskas meikki ja naamio toi vuosien varrella naiselle terveysongelmiakin.
– Silmäni ärtyivät jatkuvasta piilolasien käytöstä ja hiostava naamio aiheutti ihottumaa. Muistelen aikaa upeana jaksona. Tapasin monia maailmantähtiä, kuten Metallican soittajia ja Musen jäseniä.
Ei rikastunut
Tekikö viisuvoittaja Lordissa rahaa ?
– Rahaa tuli ja meni. Asuntorahoista tienattiin kyllä vain käsiraha. Lordilla on niin raskas ja kallis koneisto, että ei tästä paljoa nettoa, tämä on elämäntapa, Savonlinnassa lomaileva Leena kertoo.
Porvoosta kotoisin oleva Leena suunnittelee myös valmistuvansa valtiotieteiden maisteriksi Helsingin yliopistosta.
Mr. Lordi on pahoillaan Awan lähdöstä, mutta ymmärtää kosketinsoittajansa ratkaisun.
– Valintoihinhan elämässä vaikuttavat muutkin asiat kuin vain musiikin teko. Rukoilimme Awaa jäämään, mutta ei. Uusi kosketinsoittaja on jo valittu ja hänkin on nainen, Lordi paljastaa mökiltään Kemijoen varrelta, missä mies tekee jo uusia asuja yhtyeelle.
Lordi matkustaa syksyllä Yhdysvaltoihin äänittämään uuden levyn lauluja.
– Sama tuottaja Yhdysvalloissa tuottaa nyt jo toisen levymme peräkkäin, Mr. Lordi kertoo."
