Negative’s future is a big questionmark! Frontman of
Negative, Jonne Aaron revealed to Voice
that the future of the band is pretty much open.
Jonne told, that concrete plans for the future of Negative aren’t any at the
moment. Musicians have had their own holiday time
and also because of other reasons plans were not made…
12.06.2011 Hata!
The new guitarist for the upcoming gigs of Negative is „Hata“ Hannu Salmi.
He lives in Turku, is 27 (?) he has been playing in small bands
(Strikin' Case and Shades of Nowhere)
First picture of „Hata“ with Antti and Snack (taken from Negative Facebook)
As we figured out from the
given Interviews and latest articles he heard about the vacancy and quite soon
he sent a YouTube video to NGT and also a message.
In that video he was showing his guitar playing.
NGT got interested and he played to them and that's it.
They were rehearsing the songs and he made some mistakes in the beginning
Yesterday he played live for the first time.
He will play at the upcoming gigs this year and then we will see what happens!
Here are a few articles we found – unfortunatelly all in Finnish!

Negative's guitar player took off - manager roared
Published: 17.05.2011 21:27
Negative's guitarist Larry Love announced on tuesday
that he's leaving the popular finnish band.
Negative's show in the Pitkä kuuma kesä -show this sunday is cancelled.
- Jonne asked me to cancel that particular tv-show,
the band's manager Tommi Liimatainen admits.
The reason for the cancelling is the missing guitarist. Negative's guitarist
Larry Love a.k.a. Lauri Markkula announced today in a social media that he has
left the band.
The manager ponders about the guitarists' action.
- It's really irresponsible how the guitarist announced about his leaving. This
kind of behaviour is irresponsible towards the Negative fans aswell
as other groups who are involved,
Liimatainen says. Negative's next gigs are in mid-June.
- We'll announce in the next few days about how this affects the shows,
Liimatainen says.
- That I can say that Negative won't fall because of this. The war doesn't need
one man.
Negative returned last night from their gig in Mexico. Beside the gig on
saturday they had a press conference in the finnish embassy that attracted a
lots of media.

Charity auction at Moro's flea market.
Negative vocalist Jonne Aaron donated his black long jacket
with the angel logo to the charity auction organized at Moro's flea market.
All the profit from the event will be used to support the operation of
Ruokanyssät,
an organization from Tampere.
The bidding for the jacket was fearce and people from young fan girls to adult
men
and women gave their bids. Finally the highest bid came from Jarmo Kukko,
a man from Sastamala who got the jacket for 120€.
This was almost the highest I was willing to pay for the jacket, Kukko commented.
He also told that no eager young fan was waiting for the jacket at home
but he bought it for himself.

25.02.2010 Release Date for Negative’s Neon: 02.06.2010
Leading Finnish rock band assembly Negative will release their fifth album. The
new album bears the name "Neon" and was recorded in Los Angeles, Broken Wave
Studios. Warren Riker is sound recorder / associate and Jimmy Westerlund the
producer. Riker is a well-known man behind among others Michael Jackson,
Santana, and Korn. Westerlund is a TV and film music producer.
"Neon" will be the cornerstone of a career. Its production has invested a
significant lot - the material has been refined to the full form before Jeff
Blue noticed them in the studio [not sure about this sentence]. Blue is an
award-winning music producer and talent scout, whose discoveries include Linkin
Park.
Singer Jonne Aaron's voice range is wider than ever, and the band plays together
seamlessly. On the album are station-class songs which move the feeling to
another state. The material's "pääsäveltäjänä" is functioned by singer Jonne
Aaron. [the last two sentences are odd...]
"Neon" is also the first album of Negative which is released in Europe and Asia
at the same time. In Finland and Europe it is released by Warner Music and in
Asia by JVC Music.
The album's first single, "End of the Line" will hit the radio 1st of March, and
in spring there will be made a video for the song.
"Musically, the album is a melody-rich and comprehensive string of pearls," says
Jonne Aaron.

"At
the moment we're finishing our new NEGATIVE-album which will be out in
spring 2010. Album has been named and it will go by the name NEON.
First sample from Neon can be heard from a single which will be
released in January 2010, a music video will also be made for the song.
The
record has been recorded at the legendary Broken Wave -studio in Los
Angeles, where artists like Bruce Springsteen, Ringo Starr, and Korn
have worked during the last years.
Right now I'm supposed to
sing one more song for the record. As a matter of fact we dismissed
that song by democracy when the recordings started, but lately our
producer digged the bases for the song back in the daylight and we
realized that the song suits the record as a whole. At the moment I
can't talk about the song by it's name, 'cause I don't know what it'll
be called on the record either.
At this point of recording the
so called biggest brainstorm has passed, 'cause we no longer have to
think about how each of us should play on the record. While mixing we
just choose what will be left on the record from all the already played
instruments, and find the right tones, direction and the final "frame"
for the record. The final touch will be given in the last phase before
the compiling of the album: The mastering. Shortly put: If you've ever
thought about why all songs play on the same volume in the radio, the
answer is partly mastering.
But we won't go ahead of things anymore.
First
song ideas, melodies and phrases that would finally form this record
were made a year and a half ago. With them are few even older songs,
but naturally they got their final form in our hands while we trained
them for a month and in the studio under the eye of our producer Jimmy
Westerlund. The songs have been written with a lot of time and effort.
So
the recordings started in September 2009 and continued through fall and
by the end of the year I'd say the work is mostly done... For a while.
When the record is ready we'll start working the exterior of the album,
the covers, with our graphic designer. Right now I can only say about
the covers, that they'll have some visually eye-stimulating atmosphere.
Musically
the record will be melody-rich and whole couplet pearl necklace. Time
flies, and with the clock closing two in the afternoon i'ts time to
make morning tea and head to the studio to record a children's choir.
