Salutation!
Welcome to my site. This year has started busy working on the album of AHOLA, my still pretty new band. We’ve recorded drums, bass and most of the guitar tracks already. Soon we will start putting the vocals together and hopefully get them done during this month. It’s exciting times we, the guys of AHOLA live now. Can’t wait to hear this one ready. – Can’t wait for you guys to hear it!
There are some specialties coming this year as well. At least one Queen show is coming up and some other big band plus me -shows as well. I’m also going to be part of a show that YLE will start broadcasting in late May. I’ll tell you more about these things when they’re closer.
Thank you for visiting and please, check out the links on the left.
Take care,
J.
I heard your versions of Queen’s songs and my favourite is “I want it all”. I also heard yours Christmas carols but unfortunately not live, only on YT. Anyway, I like your voice.
It’s wonderful feeling when your dreams come true, isn’t it? :D
I cannot wait for first AHOLA’s album too!
Greetings
I got to see you not 1, but 4 times this year! First in Kotka in the acoustic duo with Antti Mäkelä, then in Tavastia with Teräsbetoni, a while ago in a never-forget Queen-concert at Turku, and last but not least, in Mikkeli, performing with 3 equally amazing singers!! I wish all the best for you in 2012!!
Hyvää joulua ja uuttavuotta Jarkko!!
Kiitos 18.11.2011 Queen-keikasta konserttitalolla! Freddy olisi ollut ylpeä! Upeaa!
Kiitos and Thank You Guys for the messages. It was a pleasure to do this.
Your site today just got a new front page picture. Of course, your very expressive stage image. It could be said – it`s your character ;)
And in general today (oops it’s yesterday)I had surprised with you. Pretty much totally unexpected but worthwhile news feed from you! And it’s great that you have so many new projects. The Queen … yea… last summer I have been thought that you can sing a specially chosen program. Then I thought that this could be a Rainbow or something from Dio in Black Sabbath era. About Queen … yeah too, but less ambitious :) So project with the orchestra not came in my mind then. Guess your Queen project will be a very special and impressive. Hope to see something from it.
Well, now just have to wish you succeed in a way what you want to do it… and as once someone commented – yes, Freddie would be proud of this!
And now … good night, tomorrow have a new and beautiful day! :)
Adding today’s sorrow message:
Someone created with photos and had placed YouTube video for Manowar song “Hymn of the Immortal Warrior” in Memory of Scott Columbus.
And this was one of the last songs have been recorded by the Scott Columbus on drums.
I found this song`s live performance at Magic Circle Festival 2007. video (Recorded on DVD)and next song in this video “The Crown And The Ring”.
Yeah… it’s so pretty topical to hear the both song words today …
Thanks to you, Jii! :) It took me a while to get ‘Maailma tarvitse sankareita’, but now that I have it we’re becoming really good friends. Music is simply great, and now I’m working on translating the lyrics for myself so I can understand them (I’m not succeeding at all, but at least my Finnish warrior-related vocabulary is richer ;-). Well, keep on kickin’ some people’s as*es and see you soon!
So.. lot`s of years has gone, but I`ll came back this one more time to see the power of TB and the message of their strenght. Jarkko Ahola,Teräsbetoni in all.. You`ve (all of ya)given me the strenght to go on in my heavy (in many ways) live. I`m just an ordinary middle aged man from Finland. Few years ago I sed tht Ya bring back the TRUST IN METAL to me and gave me the strenght to look up forwards. These days I`m in a middle of big problems on my life f e s money,family etc. Your music has allways been the gateaway from my problems, so honestly,from the depp of my heart, thank you Teräsbetoni.
I`m an old guy now, but I`ll never forget or dis your message (s,). Metallitotuus. Veljeys, kunnia, vapaus.
Yours; one to trust in your metal.
Thankyou for exist, Happy Birthday!!!
i wish you one day, you can come to México!!!

Thank you Marutta! Nothing else matters… yes, my friend! Hope that all hypocrites etc. will vanish soon and we “true fans” will be able to concentrate to the things that really matters! ;)
J., I have to say that you are the most fascinating person I’ve ever known :) Thank you for everything!
Cheers, everyone! And see you @ gigs.. soon :)
Moi!
I can imagine how You feel now, because I feel the same. We`ll act this challenge for communication in Your home page. I hope that this mischief-maker, who deleted our thoughts and wishes for You, will be on merit.
Main thing for us that we know who we are, that we trust each other. Truly friends always support and to encourage in not so good moments too.
In spite this tiny evil-wisher, I wish You success in all next gigs – Northern Kings, Ter
Thanks, Jii. I`m waiting. Hope you`ll enjoy those recording sessions.
very good progress Jarkko! good luck for all :)
