Multiple votes are allowed, but you can only vote one at a time.

All of the correct answers were mentioned in Schober's book, which by the way I highly recommend. But I'll not tell you if you are correct, at least not yet..

Don´t know much of Amon although really love their music. No book in Finnish. Only thing what I remembered from them is that when they were recording Carnival In Babylon, they had so much fights inside the band the some bandmembers even were told having guns with them. Don´t know is it true at all.

^sounds really wild! German temper?

anyhow.. haven't read teh book.  Which for that.. I'll pull a yellow card on myself

TMI.....
