I would probably become star-struck to be honest. His music has played such an influencial role in my life. Though I would love to be able to honestly and accurately express my gratitude to Marko for everything the Poets' music has done for me, it would probably come off more as obsession. XD
Which is fine, since I am obsessed.

I'd just say "thank you for the emotions" I have never been so much into music, as generally I prefer silence to listen to my own thoughts, but their music goes in perfect harmony with what's generally going on in my soul; they can create the perfect soundtrack for every second of my life

Can u sing "where do we draw the line" for me I wanna Play my piano with u..............

Concidering my last meetings with musicians I adore it'd probably be:
Can I hug you?

( I've hugged quite some bandmembers in the last years )

YOU ARE GOD...THE CLOSEST THING TO GOD..THO VOCALS AND THE LYRICS

Probably 'I love you' ... if he doesn't get too freaked out,a conversation would start hopefully ^^

Seriously? my first reaction would be to look around to make sure that i have not died and gone to heaven...

but yeah..if i can manage one sentence between all the blabberring and stammering, i would say Ohh My !!! Yeah that would be the only decipherable sound and then i will pass out probably !!!

I am almost embarrassed to say this but when I actually did meet Marko and Olli last Saturday I couldn't say much to Olli at all.

To Marko I couldn't manage anything smart or even remotely special. Just a "thank you for coming to India" and a "I love your songs" and of course the customary "Can I take a picture with you"

.. D'oh!

^^ don't be embarrassed. It has happened like this to many of us, myself included.

I can't remember what I said the first time around, but it must have been something along those lines of "It was a great concert. Thank you". These days it usually starts with "Hi".

i think i'll faint if i meet marko

ლ(ಠ益ಠლ) Y U SO GOOD?

Do you ever get enough sleep...?

Welcome to the club
I really don't know why sometimes the brain doesn't work anymore.
My first sentence was: "Kiitos, oli hauska gig!" Which means something like "thank you, it was a nice gig" ... but don't ask me why I said something in Finnish to Marko. At least he gave me his wonderful smile for some silly words. And I said the "picture sentence"
So don't be embarrassed.

Wow, he must have been impressed with the hand at Finnish and IMO its not even a Germanic language (or is it?). I'm sure he would have made a sense of what you were trying to say.

Thanks @Porthos13, I feel so much better... its just that I so did NOT expect to meet him.

I was just snacking at the restaurant and saw from a distance two guys with one that "walks" like Marko (I had never seen him 'walk' before) .. with a face cut that "resembles" Marko and decided to follow them. And the rest, (including Juha's stern face that slowly turned into a smile and Marko's slight face tilt to the left when he welcomes you for a shake-hand and his OH-MY-GOD-SWEET voice, Olli's thick-Finnish-accented but very very polite voice)... is still a haze.

PS: Pardon my persistent recollections, I just don't want to forget some things and there is no place else where they would understand my obsessions.
