The Rasmus lleva más de 30 años demostrando que ser diferente también puede ser motivo de orgullo.

Antes de su último concierto en Bogotá, hablamos con Lauri Ylönen sobre Weirdo, el significado de esa palabra en su
vida y cómo los conciertos de la banda se han convertido en espacios donde sus fans pueden ser ellos mismos.

00:00¿Qué tan raro hay que ser para ser fan de Rasmus?
00:30A long time ago, that word was like an insult, something that people would call me when I was just
00:35trying to be myself.
00:36I was hurt back then, but I always kept my style, I never changed my ways.
00:40And now after 30 years of being a weirdo, I'm actually proud of it.
00:44And so we wanted to bring back that word in a positive light, kind of celebrate the fact that we
00:49are all unique and different.
00:51You said in an interview that the Rasmus almost broke up.
00:54What happened and what made two stay together?
00:57Before Empu joined us, like four or five years ago, previous guy, Paoli, he left the band and I thought
01:02it was the end of the Rasmus.
01:03And I was really sad and I was going through really like mentally hard times processing that.
01:08And then I was just Googling and then Empu's picture came and we were impressed by her skills and her
01:14personality and she's just fucking amazing.
01:17I was a teenager in 2000, so I have to ask for In The Shadows.
01:20Do you still love that song or do you sometimes get tired of it?
01:23We don't get tired of it. It's kind of a fun song because it's like a little bit bouncy, you
01:29can almost kind of dance to it.
01:30It's a special, unique. I'm really proud of it. Because of that song, we are still able to continue doing
01:36this.
01:36It's been hard to top that after In The Shadows came. Being a musician to make a living with music
01:42is hard.
01:44But we have In The Shadows was kind of giving us this artistic freedom to do what the hell we
01:50want.
01:50Thank you for your music. Thank you for playing your songs from these 25, 20 years.
01:56Thank you.
01:56Thank you.
01:58so much.
