I know English takes longer time to read, but believe me it*s worth it, you will see a real Jonne, and his philosophy of life.
Enjoy and have a fair weekend XD

Jonne Aaron Listed Three Most Important Women Of His Life
Welcome to the last PopStudioTV broadcast of the autumn. We have the joy and honor to introduce the artist guest of this last broadcast: he*s Jonne Aaron. Welcome.
- Thank you.
The second solo album of your career, Risteyksessä, will come out next week. If we count in Negative*s albums, it*s your seventh album. If you look back to the year of 1997 and to Negative*s beginning in the rehearsal place and the rock*n*roll dreams you had back then, are you even close to that point now?
- *laughs* This is far from it. I remember dreaming of all kinds of stuff, mostly about making a living from a hobby. We had been touring in the Pirkanmaa region and then when we got to go to Turku, it was like going abroad. It was always a big event and quite a lot of friends went there. It was a big bunch that went to see the gigs. Probably they were the only people in the audience. *laughs*
I remember that you have said that you dream of selling out Wembley 2 nights in a row. It hasn*t happened yet.
- That*s left to happen. If you sell out Wembley singing in Finnish, it must be quite historical.
A lot of other great things have happened.
- Yeah. My point was unfinished as my thoughts are running in the past years. We dreamed of getting to play outside of Pirkanmaa and since then I*ve gone a bit of here and there.
You*ve seen the world.
- Yes. It*s a great feeling to get to make music so diversely. It*s the spice of life.
We*ve gone quite far from the Negative times. Back then the rock*n*roll life was the kind that every cellar band wishes it to be. You threw a TV out of a hotel room window and so on. When you look back to those times, is there something that you would do differently?
- No, there isn*t. I wouldn*t change anything as a human being takes shape over the years and this whole journey, during which we get scratches and tackles and all, it makes you who you are. A human being develops and grows all the time. I don*t know. What we did was brainless drunk fooling-around. When the first wave, the thrill of rising and the ascending intoxication of a young rockband get together, that*s exactly what happens. Televisions go flying.
You don*t seem like the kind of person who could become arrogant at all.
- I have been. It has been a sum of its parts. Everyone knows what happens when stupidity condenses in a group.
Were you following your idols* footprints literally?
- Well, yeah. You had read about KISS or Led Zeppelin having smashed hotel rooms. Our first mixer, Peve Hämäläinen, always told us these stories in the beginning of Negative. It was a good rockn*roll high school when he told us all those stories. Of course they stay in your subconscious and you start thinking that "oh fuck, let*s do it."
So the stupidity condenses.
- Yeah. We*ve paid the bills and we haven*t hurt anybody. It was fooling-around. We were once banned from Vaakuna Hotel in Seinäjoki. It was a cold night to spend in the tourbus. We were thrown out of the hotel when we had fooled around there a little. We got banned and the police came to wake us up in the bus. It was a cold night and it made us think that it would have been warmer in the jail. *laughs*
It could be done in, say, Spain, where the autumns are also warmer. But it*s cold in here, so, maybe not.
- Yeah, and we*ve smashed things on the stage too. I don*t know what that frenzy is all about. But maybe it has to do with creating something new. When you were doing something new, you always had to break something on the stage to get a fresh start.
It*s an expensive hobby.
- Yes.
Every dent has taught you something and now that I listen to your solo albums, the atmosphere is quite different, especially on the first album. There were Vexi Salmi*s lyrics and a poptune spirit, but now the advance information tells that the new album goes to a more rock direction and leans on a Negative-like sound world. How would you describe the Jonne Aaron of 2014 yourself?
- Unpredictable. The album is going to be unpredictable and even surprising, and strong. The strongness has been found. The diversity of the album fascinates me a lot. I gave free hands to our producer, Jimmy, and he worked on it for many hours a day while I went to take a walk on the beach or chill out and have a cup of coffee. I gave him space to make the album, so that I got to see it as an outsider and enjoy the album and the ride as a listener too. Often if you*re very close to it... I had been writing the songs for years and thought them through attentively, so in the studio I wanted Jimmy to bring some magic to it, and he did.
- This is the kind of album that I might even listen to myself. I don*t usually listen to my records. *laughs* I just sing them and then that*s it. You listen to it many times during the process, of course. But this is something I might listen to myself. I*d go to the record shop myself and ask them to get me the album. I hope others have an equally bad taste in music. *laughs*
Come on! We*ll soon hear a song from the new album, but let*s discuss women for a while. Tell us who are three most important women in your life and what they have taught you.
- Err... Grandma is the first. Or well, my mom, my grandma and then, let*s say... my ex common-law wife.
What have these women taught you about life?
- A woman is cunning. *laughs* She*s a cunning creature. I*ve often gotten along with women very well. I used to live in a children*s home in Rahola and there I had grown-up authorities. I lived with my parents only during my childhood. It was very varying there, a lot of adults came and went. There I learned to get along with different kinds of people. But a woman is a lovely creature.
What have you learned from your grandma?
- Wise words about life. Here*s an example: Life won*t become ready by building. She was 93 years old when she passed away, and she saw it all. She saw the war and the coming of TV and the Internet and still, until the end, she maintained this... She had this... individual humor and I believe that it fed her from the inside, she kept the spark of life alive until the end. Sometimes you have to pinch yourself and remind yourself that there has to be humor in life, you can*t take it too seriously. She had good slogans. No matter how you build and boost and go towards a goal... It*s good to take aims and succeed in life, but is it worth it? The most important things are that you*re healthy and you enjoy and you*re present.
There might come some things and unexpected surprises in between and then they change the direction you*re going to.
- Exactly, and you can*t... It*s good to draw some sort of frames but then you have to take chances and dare to go the crossroads and take a bit different direction than you were planning to take earlier. It makes life interesting.
You*ve said in some interview that the year of 2011 was hard for you. Your grandma passed away that year and your long-term girlfriend left the same year. How did it change your stance towards women? Did it change something?
- It*s very natural that a person is 93 years old and dies. The worst thing about life is that you go this journey and then you have to bid farewell to the people you love. It*s very human: in a way it*s natural and still it feels unnatural. She had always been in my life, like my ex common-law wife too, actually. We had been together for my entire adulthood and the whole thing soon starts to feel self-evident. And then when these crises and changes come, people and situations change, you start to blame yourself, or well, I don*t know, but through the disappointments, you have to learn to love yourself again and make yourself complete so that you can learn to trust yourself and via that also others.
Have you learned to?
- Yes, I have. Or I*m learning it all the time. Sometimes I forget about it, but every morning I wake up, I have to start again. Like, "oh right, this is going to be a great day."
I*ve heard that your new album deals with quite powerful things, like being cheated on and stuff related to relationships. Have you noticed that due to being a public person, it*s hard for you to create a relationship with other person because of the publicity?
- I*ve always been quite blue-eyed. We talked about the early years at some point. Back then I would go to the bar like "Here comes Jonne Aaron." Of course you knew that you*re someone.
It*s part of that arrogancy thing.
- Yes, it is. But in a way, you have to get to enjoy the success. If you*ve dreamed of something for a long time and you achieve it, you have to enjoy it, like "I did it". Even if just for a while. Fame and glory are always evanescent, there*s nothing more evanescent than that, but over the years that thought has vanished. You forget about it. I spend so much time at home in my underwear and slippers. I don*t think about being Jonne Aaron while putting laundry in the washing machine. The daily life, the normal life, brings the balance. It changes it. Then, when you go somewhere, you no longer think about that stuff. And when I meet new people, I don*t quite know how to... Maybe sometimes I can be wary, I read people pretty well.
Do you notice that there are people hanging around you because you*re a public person?
- Yes, I*ve noticed that there are that kind of people, but I ignore them pretty well. I have very good friends I*ve known since childhood and good people around me. It has kept my feet on the ground when I*ve started floating back then. Or let*s say that the applauds end when you get home. It*s true.
We*ll soon hear the first single called Yksin of your new album. Are you alone at the moment?
- I*m alone but not lonely. Here I*m sitting. I*m not alone, I*m with you. But this song is to people who are waiting for something.
Thanks. Have a good autumn.
- You too. Thank you
