Norico:

Hi Glam!! Thank you for your wonderful show in Japan. I enjoyed singing all songs with you! I went to only Kawasaki and got your autograph, I was sooo happy!!! Did you have any chances to go to sightseeing spot in Japan? I'm looking forward to seeing you in Loud Park 10!! Norico :D

Åge:

Thanks Norico I enjoyed this Japan Tour A LOT !!!! Thanks for making it special! I'm afraid I didn't get the chance for sightsing:( At least I got a chance to look at the Temple in Nagoya and go for some shopping in Tokyo. But the next time I'm planning to stay for at least one week after or before the tour to experience your country a bit more. Loud Park didn't get back to our management I'm afraid. So maybe they have finished their bill for 2010 already..? But nothing to worry about. We WILL come back to Japan. I promise;-) Best Åge
Johanna:

Hi Åge! I haven't known your music for long, I actually got to know who you are from Youtube watching Körslaget. :) I think you did an amazing job with your choir, especially with MJ's Earth song. After seeing it, I had to look up your music as well. You have an amazing voice and I hope I'll hear it live someday in Finland. :) Hilsen og klem!

Åge:

Thanx Johanna Me appreciate;-) Right now we are acctually planning live shows in...Finland. And the other day I was interview on Yle Tv in Oslo after doing Hard Rock Hallalujha in honor of the Finish Eurovsion Delegation ;-) Best Åge

Natalie Fatler:

Hi Åge =))I`m from Russia. I`m your big fan, and many my mates love you too. I'm your big fan, and very many of my friends too. Whether you or WIg Wam come someday to us, to Russia? :) Thank you for you music! We are reaaly love you! :D

Åge:

Hello Natalie How's Russia? I'd love to go there. Hopefully promoters will invite us for festivals or gigs in your beautiful country. And we'll have some Vodka ;-) See Ya Glam
Jannicke:

What have been the best parts in your carrier? What has encouraged you to do what you do today? What is the biggest different to Åge Sten Nilsen and Glam? Where do you get your inspiration from? Thank you ! :D

Åge:

Hi there Jannicke! 2008 and the Queen show has definitely been the best part of my career so far. I worked with great musicians and singers that treated me well, and the whole production was extremely professional. All I had to think about was my own performance. Plus we simply enjoyed ourselves both on stage and on the road. I don't know what encourages me. But I just want to move on and on and on, and hopefully I will develop as a singer and songwriter. Today there no difference between Åge and Glam except Glam is wearing more lipstick than I do ;-) There used to be a major difference, but I've toned down Glam off stage I guess;-) Glam...hmmm...Åge

Grzegorz:

Hi Åge:-) Best wishes from Poland!!! I love your songs, and your new album made with Wig Wam is amazing. I think "From Here" is the best. I have only one dream, to see you one more time on Eurovision. Have a nice day ^^

Åge:

Thanks Grzegorz!! From Here is definitely one of my personal favorites on the new album! I doubt that you'll see me/us in another Eurovision. But I learnt that you shall never say never... Maybe we'll see you in Polan one day!! Glam

Hello Dia Glam
Gnash:

"Salut" (Hi) from Romania. I'm a big fan ever since 2005 when I heard an excellent voice on ESC. I have all Wig Wam albums and your new solo album (bought from ebay). "Bring the night on", an original and very good song (the girl from video, too). You are a great singer, you can sing everything you want to. Queen tribute show made me speechless... fist I thought that it's Freddie Mercury voice! So, keep up the good work and maybe someday you will come to Romania for a concert. (Sorry for my poor english)

Åge:

Thanx Gnash!!! I really hope for us to come to Romania on this tour. It's been a while since we last visited your country. I have lots of fond memories from Bucuresti in fact. I remember performing on your MTV Romanian Award Show. And I fondly remember the Romanian meatballs!!! Loved 'em!!! See you soon Glam
Vicki Nelson:

Hi, i got sooooo excited last night when i read that Wigwam are supporting Kiss but got very upset to find that you are not coming to Dublin :( maybe you could talk niely to them and come to Ireland :D:D xxxxx

Kyle Sinclair:

G'day Åge... Hope all is well mate... Ever since Eurovision a couple of years back, me and my mates have been rockin out to Wig Wam... But it's just not the same as seeing you guys LIVE!!! (i bet)...

Selena:

Hi Åge! I really hope that you will come to Sweden (both solo and with Wig Wam) soon! And I hope that any new album with Wig Wam is planned to be released soon! Take care, Hälsningar från Sverige

Åge:

Tjänare Selena! I doubt that I'm coming to Sweden solo. But Wig Wam will definitely come to Sweden on the next tour. I write this from the very studio while we are recording the next Wig Wam album. Right now Sporty is playing his heart out on an extremely heavy tune called Still I'm Burning. Cool track!!! Hälsa alla Åge
Evuuhl Fred:

Hej Åge! I think it's really cool that your solocareer finally saw the light of day :) To me you're definately one of the TOP ranked singers in rock-history!! I read from Zara's post down below that ya guys (WM, that is) will release a new album for us and of course I wonder if y'all are planning a trip to Sweden ( and perhaps to Malmö, even) for the upcoming tour? A million thanks for being so cool and making so damn good music that really preserves the rock spirit the world needs!! :)

Åge:

Hi there Evuuhl. Thank you very much for your kind words. I don't know what else to say. I'm very happy that someone enjoys what I do!!!! Of course we're coming to Sweden with Wig Wam for the next tour. The next album will be released in Sweden too you know, so this time there's nothing holdiing us back ;-) Take Care Åge
Karen:

Hi Åge, It looks like you had a great time in Japan. The photos on the website are cool. The sushi looked good too. Have a safe journey home to norway. Take care lots of teddy bear hugs Karen xxx England

Hi Karen! I had a GREAT time in Japan, and the Sushi was delicious. Especially down at the old Fish market!! Looking forward to coming to the UK again. But right now our main focus is to finish the new Wig Wam album. Then we'll make live plans! Say hello to everybody! Teddy bear hugs back from Åge
the broken hearted girl:

hi there! it was really great seeing you live for the first time in kawasaki last weekend. i was very impressed and bought all of your records the next day (and i am digging them a lot!). the question is, when are you going to come back to japan? i heard you might do japanese tour this fall so i am very excited. :)

Åge:

Hi there "broken hearted"! I remember shouting that during the Aftershow at Club Citta ;-) Thanx for tuning in on my solo music. I'm coming back to Japan with Wig Wam the next time. I doubt that the Wig Wam tour of Japan will happen this fall though. The Japanese promotor wanted to make a longer tour in January/February next year instead. We're planning on going to Tokyo, Osaka, Hiroshima, Nagoya, Kyoto.... We're excited as well ;-) Glam
Doug:

Will you ever come to the USA?

Åge:

Hi Doug! I'm actually going to the USA for three weeks this summer. I'll be driving from San Francisco down to San Diego. Unfortunately it's just for pleasure this time. I'd love to do some shows too;-) But the truth is that I/We still have no collaborators in the US yet. When we do we/I will get on the first plane;-) Take Care Glam
Motoyoshi:

Hi, Åge. Thank you for coming in Tokyo. It was great to meet you. We were so excited for 3 days!! I really enjoyed singing along with you! I was glad that you sang, "Japanese lyrics." What were your impressions of Japan and your Japanese fans? Domo arigato!! Take care. See you again :D

Åge:

Hello Motoyoshi, and thank you for coming to the show! It was a real pleasure to visit Japan again, and to be able to bring my solo show to your country as well. Hopefully the Japanese lyric didn't sound too far out ;-) My impressions of Japan and my Japanese fans.....as always OVERWHELMING!!! This time I didn't know what to expect to be honest. But I was really surprised about the reception I got. DOMO ARIGATO!!! I will definitely come back again!!! Glam
Kenny:

Kenny again, When will you have international merchandise for sale? When you come to the states, you have to come to Seattle, Washington with Wig Wam. All of my friends love you and we want to see you more than anything.

Åge:

Howdy Kenny! I guess there will be international merchandise on the Wig Wam site at the end of summer. For this site I really haven't decided on a merch team yet. But stay tuned!! Say hello to all your friends and tell them that we are more than happy to come over to kick some serious ass ;-)) Glam Åge

Hi AAge!! I have been Wig Wam fan since 2005 have never sent you the greeting , this is scary but i try... So I just start by asking whether you have is right?? Do not know quite what to ask you, for I do not know what you like to answer... My well begin to sak how long wig wam should take time off?? Comes not in what i shall say more but a greeting is was definitely... Big hug froa Zara. Take Care of Yourself

Åge:

Hi there Zara! It wasn't THAT scary was it ? ;-) I won't bite! Thank you for enjoying what we do, and I'm happy to tell you that Wig Wam is currently working on a new album. Rehearsed with the guys yesterday as a matter of fact, and tomorrow, Friday 8th of May we will kick some serious ass in a very small rock club up North. Hopefully I get a chance to meet you someday 'till then! TAKE CARE AND ROCK.... AND ROLL hugs from Glam Åge
Stella:

Hej Åge!!! Firstly I want to congratulate you for you new album!! I like it very much!!! I'd like to ask you if you're planning to come to Greece again!! Thanks! Hälsningar eller hilsener från Grekland!!

Åge:

Hello Stella!! Thank you VERY much!! I'm actually planning a trip to Greece. But I'm still waiting for the promotor to confirm dates. It's a Queen event in question, so I'm very eager to go. We're also planning a Wig Wam trip to Greece as well. Stay Tuned!!! Glam Åge
Olivier:

Hi from France, Age !! Your new album is a bomb, my friend !! I hope you'll can come here and kick our poor lazy french asses. It's a shame ! Not a shade of your name in any musical revues here. If you have the phone number of Paul Rodgers, i have a suggestion to do... Why don't you call Paul and say : "What the fuck are you doing in Queen, guy?... Get out of here. This i s my place and my job !!" Hahahaha !!... Sure this is a joke (and a part of truth within). You're a king. Bravo !!

Åge:

Hi there Oliver! I'd love to come to France, both with my solo show and with Wig Wam. We don't have any promotors there though, but maybe we should get one. Regarding Paul Rodgers I must admit that he's one of my favorite singers, yet I don't think Queen+ Paul Rodgers has anything to do with QUEEN. It's more Paul Rodgers + Queen really ;-) See you in france sometime Åge
Silke:

Hey Age, I'm a fan of Wig Wam since I've seen you performing on the ESC. I was looking for some Wig Wam Videos at YouTube when I ran across some of your solo songs. I LOVE them (especially "No Cigar"). Is there a chance that the album will be released in Germany too? I would really like to have a copy of it!!! By the way... GREAT website :-) Kisses from Silke P.S. Have you already planned a new Wig Wam album?

Åge:

HELLO SILKE!! Thanks!! It's very possible that GLAMunition will be released in Germany indeed. but first Japan, and then most likely in The Netherlands acctually. But stay tuned ;-) Love from Åge
Norico:

Hello! Age!! How are you? I have hay fever now... It's so tough for me. Take care! Love from Japan.

Justin Jordan:

Karen:

Hi Age, I love the new website. I have just received my copy of Glamunation and wow is all i can say, i really enjoyed it. I turned my stero up loud and let the music take me higher. you have created some great up and bouncy songs like no cigar, bring the night on. The song Dont is so emotional and had me close to tears. The words that your sister wrote for the song unconditional love were beautiful and full of feeling. In other words the whole ablum is brilliant you are very talented and more people need to hear how talented you are. Oh and you looked great on Norways morning tv show you looked so happy with that cheeky grin. Take care Lots of teddy bear hugs Karen England karen.rockgoddess@blueyonder.co.uk

Åge:

THANX KAREN ;-)) Love from Åge

Natalie:

Hei, Åge! Jeg vil ha deg til å spørre: Hva gjør fansen i Russland? Vi elsker deg, men dine plater i Russland er det umulig å få ...:-((

Åge:

Hi Natalie! Thanx for writing in Norwegian. I answer in English since this is the international site;-) I'm sorry my records aren't available in Russia yet. But I'd love to have them released there you know. I've focused on the Norwegian release until now, but have started to deal with different countries regarding international releases as well. So stay tuned dear. Love from Åge
Rea:

Will you ever tour in the USA?

Åge:

Hey Rea;-) I'd love to tour the USA. Acctually I'm planning on coming over to do some intimate gigs first. And hopefully we'll find the right company to work with to release GLAMunition over there too. I'm more than happy to receive any suggestions. So spread the word around. Love from Åge
