Chapter 198 Revolver Article and Interview Several months ago, we had a poll on our website to determine the sexiest women in metal. Based on your votes, we have compiled this list and interview. Enjoy, gentlemen. 1. Catriona Burton of Beren's Dream- This six-foot tall auburn-haired beauty is one of the best singers in metal, as well as being a goddess. This daughter of the late Cliff Burton of Metallica proves the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, that a powerful soprano can fit with metal. And with their lyrics about LoTR, it shows that even geeks can be sexy. 2. Angela Gossow of Arch Enemy- This petite German blond proves that great things do indeed come in small packages. Her blond good looks and petite frame house a death metal growl to rival that of any man, her aggressive stage presence rivaling that of Phil Anselmo. A real beauty and the beast. 3. Cristina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil- This sultry Italian beauty has a voice to match her looks. Her husky contralto has graced not only every Lacuna Coil album, but also the remake of Tout Le Monde by Megadeth. Viva Italia! 4. Tarja Turunen- The former lead singer of Nightwish and current solo sensation, Tarja is every inch a lady, belying her roots in rural Karelia, Finland. Her elegant style and gorgeous soprano lifted Nightwish to the top in Europe, and she is poised to the same with her solo work. We at Revolver interviewed these lovely ladies at our offices in New York City. Over several bottles of red wine, we talked about everything. Enjoy, gentlemen. Revolver- Catriona, how do you feel being selected the sexiest woman in metal. Catriona- It's an honor, I know I'm not ugly. I do remember, though, when I was in eighth grade, I was this tall but skinny and flat as an ironing board. Virtually overnight, I filled out, so it's been a long time coming. Cristina- I understand, I was the same way. Of course, the boys noticed, but boys at that age are terrible. Revolver- How are you ladies getting along? Any catfights? Tarja- Of course not, we are adults. I have known Angela fro years, we have played several festivals together. Angela- Yes, we played for the first time together at Wacken several years ago. Catriona- I thought I was going to faint when I first met Tarja, but I didn't. I didn't even do a Wayne's World. Tarja- I know that you are a big Nightwish fan, Catriona, I would have been flattered if you did the Wayne's World thing, I have never had anyone do that before, it would have been a first. Cristina- I thought I was going to faint too. Revolver- What is it like being a woman in a metal band? Angela- Every reporter asks us that. Well, it's nothing. The guys in the band are like my brothers, we hang out and drink together. Tarja- The guys in Nightwish, Tuomas and Emppu and I grew up together in Kitee. The guys in my band, though, we are a team, we work together to put out the best possible music. Cristina- I also grew up with the guys in my band, it's like I got five brothers watching over me. My boyfriend knows nothing's going to happen to me. Catriona- It's been a bit difficult after Andrew and I broke up, but the guys are my friends. Let this be a lesson, don't date anyone in your band. Revolver- Good advice. Do you have any groupies? Angela- Fans, yes, but not groupies. If they try anything, my husband will hurt them. Tarja- Same here Cristina- Me too. Catriona- If they tried anything, I could probably beat them up. Revolver- Any advice for aspiring singers? Cristina- Sing only if you are comfortable in front of a microphone. No one should pressure you to go onstage if you don't want. Tarja- Take all the lessons you can, you need to learn how to control your voice, and to preserve it so you don't lose it. Angela- I agree with Tarja. Us singers must learn how to preserve our voices, otherwise we will lose them. Catriona- Don't let someone who listens to crummy pop music tell that you sing badly. They don't know, trust yourself. |

Chapter 199 "Oh, I can't wait! This is going to be so exciting!", gushed Olivia Lindstrom. "I know, pikku enkeli. We are all going to tour with Metallica, you are going to see the US", said her cousin Linde. "Cousin, this is going to be such an adventure. Wait until I tell all the girls at school", she sighed. "We still have a week to go", chided Manna, Linde's wife. Olivia was still smiling when she went upstairs to her room. Her older cousin and guardian Linde's band HIM was opening up for Metallica on their American tour. She was going along too, which made her very excited. Her gaze fell on the picture of her mother, who had died in a car accident when she was ten. Olivia had gone to live with her cousin and his wife, her closest living relatives as her grandfather had died when she was a baby. This is going to be so exciting, I love Metallica and perhaps I can find my father, my father was from California, she mused. Olivia had never known her father. All that she knew was that her mother had left him after he cheated on her. I do wonder what he was like, she thought, gazing at her reflection in the mirror. She was the splitting image of her beautiful, delicate mother. Both Olivia and her mother were tiny, petite women with long silvery-blond hair and delicate elfin faces. However, Olivia's eyes were a startling shade of lime green with a hint of gray, the smoky color adding depths to the green orbs. I think I got my eyes from my father, no one in the family has green eyes. All I know is that he was an American with green eyes. That is hardly anything to go on, she mused, flopping down on the bed. "Lars, I hope the fans don't throw things at HIM, Kitty likes them too much", chuckled Avery, drinking her wine. "They already opened up for us several years ago on our Scandinavian tour, the fans liked them. Besides, it'll attract more chicks to the shows", he joked. Lars and Avery were at a bistro in Sausalito, going over last-minute tour details. Avery was an assistant tour manager, in charge of backstage and catering. She'd been doing this since the Load tour, she'd been doing this on every tour since. He silently observed her as she took a sip wine. Avery was lovely in a navy blue skirt that reached her knees to reveal her still shapely legs. A purple, green and red paisley silk blouse went well with her red hair, the coppery strands just brushing her shoulders. I can't believe she's going to be a grandmother in seven months. She still looks great. Wait, did I just think that?, he wondered. "I do hope Kitty is having a good time on their tour. I like Apocalyptica, their music is lovely", she sighed. "I know, I love when they cover our stuff. Great musicians", he said. Man, I'm going to be on tour with her, I can't just jump her, she's my friend and Cliff's widow. Control yourself, Ulrich, he reminded himself. |

Oooooh! I like where this is going. I think I know who Olivia's father is. I like the idea of Avery as a tour manager. I have always wondered what she did for money after Cliff died, being that she was alone and a very young mother with 2 young kids at the time. Awesome chapter! You are the mistress of steamy suspense!

This is the band they are touring with: Apocalyptica Chapter 200 "All right, you guys are going to meet Apocalyptica. I hope you guys all get along, I don't want to put with bands who fight", said Ron, their tour manager. Catriona nodded, trying to control her racing heart. It was the day before their first show in Vancouver, and both bands were going to meet each other for the first time. I can't wait, I love these guys, she thought. Andrew finally emerged from the bathroom, a bland look on his face. Catriona felt a shiver go down her spine, seeing his reddish eyes and twitchy nose. I think he's on cocaine, Uncle Kirk was the same way, she thought. Catriona couldn't help but feel sad at the idea. I know he's no longer my boyfriend, but he's a terrific musician. It sucks to see him pissing away his talent on drugs, she mused, as the others gave him funny looks. Andrew narrowed his eyes and forced a smile. "We are going to meet Apocalyptica, kiska. Are you not excited?", he asked. "Yeah, dude. And you better not let Ron find out", she muttered, as he glared at her. Ron led them to the conference of the Holiday Inn. It was set up with pink paper streamers hanging from the walls, a few foil balloons drifting pathetically above them. A store-bought cake sat on a table, the band seated behind it. The men all rose when they entered the room. "Tervetuloa, everyone. I hope we will have a successful tour, and I am looking forward to touring with you", said Eicca Toppinen, the leader. He was very tall, at least 6'5 with long blond hair that framed his face, clad in tailored black slacks and a white shirt. "Hei, I know this is not much of a cake, but we didn't have much time", shrugged Paavo Lotjonen. He was a short stocky man with his black hair cut short, wearing a black suit. Just then, Perttu Kivilaakso and Antero Manninen came downstairs, hand in hand. Perttu was nearly as tall as Eicca and strikingly handsome, his dark brown hair reaching his shoulders and his green eyes twinkling with amusement. He wore tight black leather pants and a shirt with the top button undone to reveal his chest, which showed off his slim, muscular body. Antero was as conservative as Perttu was flamboyant, his blond hair cut short and wearing a severe black suit and dark glasses. "Hello, everyone. Miss Burton, I am in awe of your beauty, if I didn't have Antsa with me, I would take you for my own", said Perttu gallantly, kissing her hand. Catriona giggled, charmed by his gallantry. "Thank you, Mr. Kivilaakso, but I don't think either of our boyfriends is going to like that", she teased. "She's got you there, Perttu", joked Eicca. "Enough of this, I hope everyone gets along to make my job easier. Our first show is tomorrow", said Ron. |

that chapter rocked out Vanessa! Andrew makes my stomach churn. Really he does. He's not even close to being good enough for Kitty. I wonder if she will help him with his coke problem though? Maybe she should dump him off in rehab.This story rocks out!!! I am eagerly waiting the next chapter.

I hope that Kitty *doesn't* get too involved with Andrew again. I think Dave should take care of the thing with Andrew, since he's a recovered addict himself and he's Andrew's uncle. |

Falyssa, actually Perttu has a reputation for being quite the ladies man. But I've read Apo fan fiction where him and Eicca are a couple, he's so flamboyant he could very well swing both ways, but as far as I know he's straight. I'm just messing around here Chapter 201 "Miss Burton, would you like to go out with us? Your bandmates went to a strip club", said Perttu. Catriona looked up from her book. The group had gone out an hour ago and she was reading, after messaging Dave and finding he wasn't online. "Sure, where do you want to go?", she asked. "There's a gay bar we go to whenever we're in town. Do you mind, we know you're not gay", said Antero. "I'm from the Bay Area, gay bars don't freak me out. I've been trying to contact my boyfriend on MSN, but he's offline. What do I wear, though?", she asked. "Just wear your most fabulous dress, furs and jewels. It's got an old Hollywood theme, they have old-fashioned drinks and big band music", said Perttu. "All right, let me get dressed. I'll be a few minutes", she said. Catriona closed the door and opened her steamer trunk. It was an old-fashioned wooden trunk with hand-painted pink and yellow flowers on the side, sealed with a keylock. Inside, each dress was wrapped in tissue paper scented with rose petals, the pleasant fragrance wafting in the air. She chose a forest green dress from the top, unwrapping it and putting it on. The top part was made of iridescent green satin, the color of jade, the full skirt made of forest green velvet that reached almost to her ankles. She added an emerald necklace and matching earrings, her auburn hair in a braid piled atop her head with a few loose curls about her face. Perttu's eyes widened in delight, putting her hand to his lips. "My dear, you are lovely, you're enough to make me go straight and ditch Antsa. But alas, I do not. Shall we go?", he asked. "Of course. I hope Dave's all right, they're on tour in Australia, he might be sleeping", she replied. "Probably, at least we are on tour together, long-distance relationships suck. Your boyfriend is Dave Mustaine?", asked Antero. "Yeah, does it freak you out?", she asked. "No more than our relationship freaks you out, Kitty. We've seen all kinds of strange relationships, believe me", joked Perttu. |
