Pollyanna — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 17:21:46 GMT

Magni,

can you tell us a bit on when you wrote the songs for the new album? I know that "You say" and "World alone" is from your time with Shape and "If I promised you.." was written 4 years ago and "See you.." in the RS mansion, but what about the other songs?

Will there be a video, if so for which of the songs?

Right now "If I promised.." is on heavy rotation on Icelandic radio, personally I would also like to hear some of the other songs as well. Will there be more singles coming out? Do you have any influence on what songs from the album is being played?

When will the Skifukjallarin concert be on TV???

and finally WHEN is the second album coming...??? :P ( you say on your myspace ---my first solo album, that must mean there will more :hehe: )

Hi Magni, since it doesn't appear you had any gigs this week, I hope you've either had a good week relaxing (you deserve it!) or else a productive one working on the new album. :)

Anyway, just random wondering...whose music have you been listening to and diggin' lately? I have to say that discovering you last summer has also had the side effect of me seeking to expand my musical horizons beyond my usuals, not quite sure of the connection - but maybe it got me to wondering what else I've been missing. :)

Magni, I think you are just amazing!
I'm a huge fan from far far away... and I've seen a lot of questions and comments about a new CD or US/Europe tour... but, is there any chance to your brazilian fans to see you here? I just can't wait to listen some new stuff from you... or maybe see you making good rock and roll alive! This will be great!

Magni,

I found this picture on Photobucket when I was looking for a picture of you to put on my MySpace under "who I'd like to meet". It made me smile so much. You and your boy. What a precious moment....

It wasn't so big I guess but was decorated with love - and I waved it around an awful lot during his set with Dilana :D My girls were quick to point out that the people behind could see because I was jumping up and down so much (and I thought I was being pretty restrained):w00t: Fun concert my friend and I are still laughing about it :D

smithers82 — Mon, 26 Feb 2007 00:20:22 GMT

So, Magni...what are your plans after the tour concludes on Wednesday (Feb.27th) in Long Beach? Are you going to stick around a little longer in the States...or head right back to Iceland?

By the way, I hope you weren't too disappointed about not being able to meet me when you were in Loveland, Colorado! ;) Maybe next time. :D

RE: Questions for Magni

Pollyanna — Tue, 16 Jan 2007 13:45:24 GMT

The AMS DVD, when will it be out?

Will there be live performances both from the Broadway and Rockstar concerts??

Will it be available outside of Iceland?

PS. Any chance we will be able to see Superstition and BoRap from the Rockstar gig??? I loved Josh and the HB in Superstition :P and you guys were just awesome in BoRap :D

Magni, did you ever speak with the gentleman I emailed you about here in Texas? I don't know if there is enough time between the Dallas show and the next one for you to make another appearance but I'll cross fingers!

Hoping!,

[quote][b]Magni (10.1.2007)[/b][hr][quote][b]canadaformagni (19.10.2006)[/b][hr]Magni I know I asked this on another thread about decorating show. Were those Converse runners you were wearing at home. I've seen you in the awesome Puma's. I have a co-worker who is a huge Cons and music fan and I might be able to CONvert him to a fan if he knew you wore them. LOL. Kate aka Canadaformagni[/quote]

I have black leather Con´s and about 8 pairs of Puma´s - I´m a bitch when it comes to them :)[/quote]Thanks so much Magni for the reply on the Cons/Puma question. Now I hope I can get my co-worker to listen to you. He's a real music snob. He hates Live, STP and such. Likes really obsure alt.country and Tom Waits. If he knows you have Cons he might take a listen. LOL. I use to be a shoe bitch when I was young and single. Loved my Feragamo and other Italian shoes. Had to get a couple of new pairs every month it seemed. I've reformed quite well. Maybe five pairs of new shoes a year tops. It can be done but if I had more money I would slip back into old habits. LMAO. Kate aka Canadaformagni

scamp — Thu, 11 Jan 2007 01:04:20 GMT

Dear Magni:

I am writing (or typing ?) from Ontario, about 3 hours south of Ottawa. We drove to your concert at the Toad and loved it!! I have some questions about your band - A Moti Sol,I hope you can find the time to answer them. What is your history with the band? How did you all meet? Do you do all of the song writing yourself? What instruments do you play (I've seen guitar & piano on RS)? I have been able to get my hands on some of your music but because of the language barrier do not understand the titles and lyrics. I am sure I look funny driving around in my Honda with the windows rolled down and Icelandic rock playing! However, I love you and your bands talent. MY favourites are Drottningar, Viagra (is it the little blue pill?), and Hvar sem eg fer, but I must admit that " Upp A Thig"is so amazingly haunting and beautiful. Could you please tell me what these titles mean and what the story is behind "Upp A Thig"? Thanks for finding the time to answer a Canadian fan's questions.

Magni.. can't blame a fan for re-submitting her unanswered question again. I appreciate that you are super busy and wish A Moti Sol the best! x0x0[/quote]

Magni — Wed, 10 Jan 2007 23:46:31 GMT

[quote][b]starbuck (11.12.2006)[/b][hr]Ok Magni, I finally have a question. :)

You've just finished a hugely successful set of concerts attended by more than 10,000 of your fans. Your web sites are becoming busier all the time and the Magniacs are voting like crazy to keep you in the top of the MySpace polls. I mean this is a dream, right? Do you ever feel like its unreal? Like you want to ask Eryun to pinch you to prove you are truly awake and living this?

But my question is really this, even with all the fame, do you still take out the trash, wash dishes, change diapers and do laundry? :P

...I mean, a messy diaper is a great big "reality check" if ever there was one, eh?

Thanks for continuing to be a real guy who just happens to be enormously talented and internationally famous ;) Love to you and yours...

Jenny[/quote]

First off - thank you for the kind words :)
I love cleaning the house - sometimes - I get into the zone - put some Muse on loud and just loose myself for a couple of hours - It´s weird I know.
I have also been waking up with Marino since the show every morning I can and I love taking care of him and everything that has anything to do with that - diepers and all!
Hate doing dishes - got a dishwasher...

[quote][b]Pollyanna (18.10.2006)[/b][hr]Hey Magni,

thanks so much for taking your time and answering your fans!!

Here is another question; Which is your favourite performance ( of yours that is) from the RS show? According to a "fan poll" here at the board Fire from finale night, Dolphins and When the times... are fan favs, do you agree?:P[/quote]

RE: Questions for Magni

Magni — Wed, 10 Jan 2007 23:39:00 GMT

Sorry for the late reply -
1. I actually informed the houseband´s "manager" about the being cancelled - nobody from supernova informed me about shit or has since - I heard from Dilana.

2. tickets are out ;)

[quote][b]didntfindanyname (17.10.2006)[/b][hr]I have two questions:

1. Did a houseband member inform you about the cancelation in January and have Jason, Tommy or Gilby contacted you about it?

2. When does the ticket sale start for Dec 1st.?

Thanks in advance[/quote]

jewels — Wed, 10 Jan 2007 04:13:51 GMT

Hello Gorgeous,

I am hearing rumours that you may join the House Band. Perhaps that is still in the works and not confirmed, but would love to hear about this, which ever way it goes - also, going hand in hand, my query whether you are coming to the States to enhance your career.

I'm hoping you put word out soon on your plans (or not) to come States-Side and explore your options.

Keep rocking, Iceman, you are The Real Deal, baby.

RE: Questions for Magni

MagnifiedNCalifornia — Mon, 08 Jan 2007 22:00:23 GMT

Howdy Magni,

Have you considered getting a manager that could hook you up with a music producer here in the states? I know you're a fierce proud Iceland King. Just curious if there's a possibility of it in the future. Your voice is truly beautiful with a wide range and your potential is crazy.

RE: Questions for Magni

starbuck — Mon, 18 Dec 2006 23:30:30 GMT

You know, Magni, I think I'll retract the question.

I already know the answer. In everything I have seen, everything we all have seen, you are good man. You were the stabilizing, grounding influence in that house last summer on Rockstar. Its not just the television editing which tells us so...your friends said as much over and over at your birthday bash concerts and in interviews. You work hard; You rock hard; You party hard; and you love with all your heart.

Thank you. I have seen so many prima donnas in the opera world and on the stage and in "real life'. I confess I have become cynical and skeptical that someone genuine and true could still exist. You continue to show me that it is possible.

Jenny

RE: Questions for Magni

Pollyanna — Fri, 08 Dec 2006 11:29:36 GMT

Magni,

the concerts were absolutely [b]awesome[/b], I'll be eternally greatful for being invited to such a party!!!!! THANKYOU to you and all your friends! :D

I am also very much looking forward to this saturday to see the concert on TV. I really hope everything will be included, but I guess that somethings will be cut....

Are you taking part in cutting the footage? How do you decide what to include? will there, [i]at least maybe[/i], be a DVD? How did you feel when you were singing creep when the whole audience were singing with you, and Teeen spirit and the the audience went absolutely bazurk???

RE: Questions for Magni

droptheleash — Wed, 06 Dec 2006 22:32:45 GMT

all right, magni. time to 'fess up.

i recently got my latest issue of DEEP, a magazine from pearl jam's ten club (available to members only) and in the letters section was this gem:
[i]
Pearl Jam please play Iceland. Won't you rock Iceland? WIll you play Iceland? You will play Iceland. In Iceland, Iceland is spelled like Iceland. The Viking Gods (pronounced Wiking Gods) would enjoy the show. Land, water, fire, ice. Come on, come on, it's evolution baby. Break the ice. Stir a volcano. Calm the sea. Rock. Pearl Jam please rock Iceland. Or just visit. And while you're there? Play a show. Prove it. Do it. Play it. Rock it. Smash it. Crash them. Please play Iceland, Pearl Jam. My typing is poor. My sincerity is true. My friends are real. Show them what I've seen. Just a taste. Just a sight. Just a smell. Rock 'em. It's been said before, can't be said enough please play, rock, visit beautiful Iceland!!!

Enough. R.S.B.[/i]

so, i gotta ask--did you write this? :D

okay, okay, i'm kidding! i know you probably didn't but hey! maybe you know the somebody who did? at any rate, i thought that was the greatest (and funniest) letter ever. apparently, pearl jam liked it too. :)

Hey, Magni...isn't Dennis amazing? He is the one who let us know we could (and should!) vote for you at the "myrockin profile awards" at myspace.

Of course we want to get you to #1 for best emerging band (you're currently #3). And I hope that Toby isn't too crushed that you beat him for "sexiest celebrity" by over 6,000 votes! ;) We still love him too! But, you're our boy! Be sure to give him a hard time when you see him this week!

Can you confirm if all the House-Band members are coming.

We are preparing a small welcome gifts for all your guests, to show them our appreciation but we don't have a clue where to give it to them. Do you have a suggestion ?

Who was it you kissed in the audience when you sang When the Time Comes on Rockstar SN?[/quote]

Wow - Great looking out there - her name is Sigrun and she´s an Icelandic dancer. She performed with us once during an award show performance in Iceland - and she´s gorgeous!
