Hi master! I could watch his show again in Sao Paulo Brazil! Awesome!
I would ask the chords of the intro Anniversay Anthens and the
solo of the Ernie had a Hernia. Thank you! PS: It was very funny
when the show you could not open the tube of serpentine on Lambrusco
Kid! Hahahah. Hugs! Tico.
 Hi
Tico Cheers! Yeah, all kindsa problems that night! Along with the unexploding
bottle, ha! It was sooooo hot! I may do Ernie and Aniversary anthems
on a future guitar lesson! Look out for it! I cant remember those chords
at the moment however!! Some weird shapes, the guy in the studio taught
me!
Take care
Olga
Hi Olga I'm wondering did you thought to came and give the show
in Poland. Here in Gdynia (Poland) we've got a Sex Pistols, GBH, Die
Toten Hosen ... etc. and it will be great if such a legendary band as
Toy Dolls will visit our country.
Yes!
We did play there in 1995 and it was wicked! A brilliant place to play,
I hope our management can get us back there at some point!
Cheers
Olga

Olga
Olga, thanks to aswered my question. I was the guy who talked with
you in english - pretty bad english, okay, but we could talk - and you,
Goober and Duncan signed my Dig That Groove Baby and my shirt.
Obviously I send to enframe those treasures to keep them 'til I get
old. I would like to thank Goober to beign such a gentle guy and spend
some minutes talking with me. Maybe he will remember me, I said that
I'm a fan of Goober Patrol and Vanilla Pod, maybe I was the only guy
in Porto Alegre, Brazil, which said it to him. hehehe. I like either
Duncan thousand bands and projects. Well, there's no question in this
mail and I'll not spend much more of your time. I just wanted to thank
you, guys, to come here and beign so cool and gentle with me and public.
Cheers from a huge fan of you! Best whishes, Renato Judz.
Renato
Hello! Thank you very much for your kind words! It was great to eventually
be back in Porto Alegre! I will pass this message on to Tommy &
Duncan too. Cheers again for your nic email!
Thank you!

Olga
Hey Olga, I´m Martin from Germany and I´m a huge fan
since I found the record “A far out disc disc “ in my ten
your old brothers collection. That was about maybe 17 or 18 years ago.
First of all, I really want to thank you for all the great music you
have provided. It´s always a huge pleasure to listen to your songs
and attending your live gigs of course J I was just listening to the
Fat Bob´s Feet Album, and when “ Back in 79 “ was
up, I thought about the lyrics for the first time. What were your thoughts
when you wrote the song? I mean, I´m 31 right now, almost all
of my buddies are married and are having kids. Don´t want to be
sentimental, but I think maybe you had the same thoughts back then when
you wrote the song. Anyway, I really admire your great work throughout
the years, you´re the best singer and songwriter ever. Keep up
the excellent work and I am looking forward to seeing to in the next
couple of years on a lot of gigs in Germany . Best regards Martin
Hi Martin Hey, thank YOU! My thoughts when writing “Back in 79”
were of sadness really, maybe a bit selfish too. I have mates who are
married with kids, and very happy, but also loads who are not content
at all. I do miss loads of me mates, down the pub etc. Anyway, we will
see you again in Germany!
Cheers
Olga
Hi Olga! First of all, I really like your music and enjoyed the
only show I've seen you play (Sweden - Augustibuller) very much! I recently
found the Absurd Ditties Lp at a used records store. It's on Reciever
Records 1993 (RRLP 172). Or so it says on the B-side. On the A-side
it says it's the Sex Pistols - No Future Uk Lp 1989 (RRLP 117). What
I'm wondering is this: have you heard of that before with this Lp? It
is, in fact, Toy Dolls and not Sex pistols, who's playing. Cheers! /Arthur
& Sweden
Arthur
& Sweden hi! Thank you! I will never forget the Augustibuller festival,
it was a great one! We had a nice time after the show also! Drinkin’
with The Anti Nowhere League! WOW, that's a strange one, Sex Pistols/The
Toy Dolls! It may be worth something! I have never heard about it!
Cheers
Olga
Hi Olga! How is the new album coming along? Are You producing it?
Are You striving for a particular sound You liked in the past? (i.e Absurditties)
Or are You trying to find a "new" Toy Dolls sound? Cheers
Ola from Sweden
Hello
Ola from Sweden! The new album is coming along fine thank you! Still
in the writing process, so I am not sure about production or sound just
yet! Absurditties has always been my favourite sound on a Toy Dolls
album for sure!
Cheers
Olga
Hi Olga, many years ago i heard some your song, that started as
Madonna or Sandra, but i never find it on your lp´s. I have all.
Can you tell me what song it was? Thank you Zdenek, Czech Republic.
Hi Zdenek! Yes, I guess you mean Material Girl by Madonna, it's the
intro song on Bare Faced Cheek. I hope that helps!
Olga
Hello, Olga! It's Alex from Moscow again :) Pre-Scriptum: I started
writing this letter more than a month ago, but mostly due to my laziness
haven't finished on time, but decided not to change anything. Firstly
I'd like to congratulate you with your past birthday! In our Russian
Toy Dolls' fans community some guy asked to say "thank you"
to you for your wonderful music, for the individuality and inimitability
of your band. So I pass on his words and join him and wish you all the
best! Secondly I want to thank you for your concert in Moscow. It was
an awesome performance! Though I must admit that I didn't get such excitement
as I had got from your concert 4 years ago in Apelsin, but it is merely
because that that one was my first Toy Dolls concert and first impression
is usually the strongest one. The only disappointment I had this time
- why didn't you play Yul Brynner? It looks like a true Toy Dolls classic
to me - the same as Glenda, Alex, Fisticuffs, Lambrusco kid, so it seemed
strange that it wasn't included in the set list, which was perfect in
every other way. And it was especially cool to meet you and Tommy and
Duncan after the show, my friends and me satisfied all our autographs
and photos needs, thank you sooooooo much!!! Also, you concert inspired
me for some bunch of questions; I hope you don't mind answering them.
Sorry if they repeat what have been already asked.
Hi
Alex! Thank you! I will do my best to answer your questions below! Maybe
we will play Yul Brynner next time around!
Which Toy Dolls' song (or may be several) represents your guitar style
most thoroughly? I mean, for example, Glenda is an awesome song, but
it has simple guitar line and solo is not very difficult, and I'm interested
which songs show fully what you can do on the guitar?
I am essentially a rhythm guitar player really,
I am not in to long guitar solos, I like short ones that complement
the song, so I would choose Glenda as one of the songs actually! And
Alecs Gone, though I do like the guitar solo (if you can call it a solo!)
in Dougy Giro.
Do you go to concerts as an ordinary listener? If so, what kind of
concerts do you attend and what are your most memorable concerts?
I hardly ever go out to be honest, if I do
go out its down the pub for peace and quiet! I did see the Sex Pistols
a while back, unbeleiveble, excellent. I also like go to the theatre
and to see the ballet to be honest.
This is a kind of silly question but I can't help asking it :) Do
you like Iron Maiden and did you see them live? It's just that Toy Dolls
and Iron Maiden are my two most favorite bands, I wouldn't be able to
pick one which I like best, so I'm simply curious.
I do like Maiden, though I have only seen video clips of their shows,
looks very entertaining! Great stuff, and I really think they have got
better, especially Bruce Dickinson!
Which bands do you think are similar to Toy Dolls not necessarily
in music aspect but may be in positivity or inimitability? So I don't
mean here bands that simply play punk. I think that Toy Dolls is a very
unique group - with style, distinctive sound and perfect sense of humor
etc., so may be in your opinion some other bands also represent that
"essence" of Toy Dolls, but their music can be very different
from yours. To my mind the band that is closest to Toy Dolls in that
way is a German punk band called Die Arzte. Have you heard of them?
They are very funny guys, play in many different styles and also have
their uniqueness. I heard one of your interviews where you said that
in England you mostly get to listen only British and American bands
so may be you'll be interested to check them out. Here's a couple of
youtube links just in case:
cheers! I will check out those links, and yes I ave heard of Die Arzte,
though I am still waiting to hear them! Thank you!
Do you play the guitar simply for pleasure? And what non-Toy Dolls
songs do you like to play if any? What songs did you play in order to
learn the guitar when you were mastering the instrument?
I learnt to play listening to The Shadows
and The Ventures and lots of instrumental bands. I always play the guitar
for pleasure! But yeah, I know what you mean, and the answer is yes,
every single day I am playing, all kinds o’ stuff, Status Quo,
Dr Feelgood, Shadows etc…
Have you ever considered doing an acoustic set with Toy Dolls, something
in MTV-unplugged style? Can we expect something like that in the future?
YES! I am indeed considering it!
That's it with the questions. Thanks in advance for the answers and
good luck with the album recording! Can't wait to hear it! All the best
and goodbye!
THANK YOU!!
Olga
Hi Olga, I prefer Toy Dolls, from punk-rock style, it is No.1 for
me. But long time don´t release any album. I´m waiting for
new one. Will be soon? We will see in Slovakia, maybe. Sincerely your
fan Dušan
Dušan
Hi Thank you. Ha! Good point, we have been so busy doing festivals that
the album kinda took a back seat, I am back to work on it now, writing
everyday!! Hopefully finished soon!
Take care
Olga
