Children Of Bodom Guitarist Checks In

Children Of Bodom guitarist Roope Latvala has posted the following tour report online:

"Couple of rough nights on the bus. We've had the finger fairy visit us at night. Always chooses one finger on my left hand and cuts it. Takes the string right to the bone when I play. I had to fix it with Crazy Glue. Tomorrow (October 5th) is our day off and we are going to check out AMORPHIS and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Hopefully I'll have a chance to fire the finger fairy. Don't do what I do."
