Would it be possible if i could have an autograph i've been a fan of The Toy dolls for years now and my dad likes you too ever since he saw you on Top Of The Pops 2.
That wasn't really my question this is my question:
With you touring all the time don't you miss watching your soaps? And what's your favourite soap at the moment?

Dear Olga,
I enjoyed very much your last show in Milan(Rock in Idro)on last September,and I hope you'll be back someday. I've listened to your music for one year(and I'll keep doing it...)and probably you answered to this question a lot of times,so I'm sorry...What I want to know is something about characters like Dougy,Peter,Keith,Alec and the other guys who appear in your songs.Who are they?Do they really exist?I hope I can see you in Italy another time. Thank you,see ya!
Enrico

Olga,
Since the Toy dolls are now officially over will their be any media updates to the site? I would still like to see some video footage from the bands past TV appearances. Also is there any plans for the new DVD to be released in format that will work on U.S. DVD players?

Hi Olga, how are you?
My name is Ricardo Stoco, one of the regulars on the old Message Board. We spoke for a few minutes before the sound check in the Pirassununga's gig, i show you my sign copy of the "Our Last Album?". Wanna thank you for be so nice to me that day, means a lot to me finally meet you after 19 years! I'm just curious about one thing you say to me when i ask you why the whole band count make it to the shows in Brazil and you say "we come back next year". Having say that, what's the real deal about the "end" of the Toy Dolls? Thanks a lot.

Olga, you haven't been here in Pittsburgh, PA since 98. We need you guys. Come back?

hi Olga I'm Clayton the guy from malta which have a band called after Toy Dolls (pupi tal-loghob.it means toy dolls in maltese) hope you remember when i wrote you like 2 months ago i think. i saw the news on the site and there's something new coming in January..Hope it's a toy dolls live gig....and hope it's not far from Malta so i could finally see you guys playing live. In malta every year at around June we organize a festival with all maltese punk bands.. almost 10 last year which for the size of our country is quite a good number of punk bands.. Well this year we where thinking in doing something better and bring a foreigner band playing in this festival. well i was wondering if you would be interested in partecipating..it would be really great for my band to play along with our favourite band and for the festival too. If you're interested please let me know on my email kuzza@onvol.net and we would arrange everything about flights and accomodation...Hope to have a good answer.. Play with Olga section is great and do you use power chords?? another thing my band's website is www.pupital-loghob.com if you would like to take a look...
Thanks and Cheerio
A big fan of Toy Dolls

Hey Olga,
I loved Decembers guitar lessons, my fingers are red raw. Nice one!
I have a couple of requests,
1. Can we have another solo lesson sometime, I learnt Back in 79 and would love to learn Ernie had a hernia or any other Toy Dolls solo.
2. Could you do Eine Kleine Nacht Muzik. I know there are two guitar parts but it could be split into two lessons, guitar1, guitar2, so when you play the piece at full tempo at the end we could use that as a backing track for learning each guitar part or perhaps Ciaron could do one of the guitars.
Just a thought! Whatever you do, I cant wait for the next installment.
Keep up the good work.
Cheers
Wurble.

Dear Olga,
thank you so very very much for the Sao Paulo gig with the Lambrusco Kids! It was absolutely perfect, without a doubt the best show I've ever been to. Are you still taking pictures for the Tour Pics gallery? I have a reeeally great shot of you with the giant Lambrusco bottle, hehehe. By the way, did you recover from that shock from the microphone? I gotta say it was pretty funny at the time, but after laughing my ass off, I got worried... hehe, just kidding. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know how great it was. Even though I'm NEVER going to forgive myself for letting you walk right by me while I was out there on the line and not doing anything (besides watching that kid hug you to death...), it was certainly a very special night. I should stop now that I'm starting to sound like a crazy fan (which I am, but you don't need to know that). Thanks again! The small village of S‹o Paulo will be waiting for the Toy Dolls next year!

gabriel.

Olga:
You're so sweet! I'm veeeeery happy for reading your great news! Including, I think you have to make other album with new name, because "Our last tour?" is very sad...
Merry Xmas for you and your family and an excellent year! LONG LIFE for TOY DOLLS (or TO Toy Dolls... I've never known... in fact, sorry for my poor English...)
Cheers:

Hello Olga, my name is luis garcia and i'm one of your biggest fans. i've downloaded all you guitar lessons and am trying to learn the song toccata.its pretty hard. i just wanted to know when you started playing guitar and how you got so good at it. do u practice every day? also wanted to know if you are having any concert anywhere by south west usa. i hope to see u one day live. if you could answer these questions that would be great. thank you

Hi! my name is Enzo and I'm from Argentina. I'll like to know if you're gonna come to play here. I'll like to see the toy dolls show.
Thanks and sorry for my bad english

Dear Olga of the toy dolls,
My name is Sterlling, and I first found the toy dolls when I heard nought but a sample of "I've got Asthma" and I was hooked. I am continuously amazed by the toy dolls humour and musical talent, and nothing would please me more than if the toy dolls came to canada, more specifically, Alberta...I have looked at the dolls tour history, and to my great DISpleasure found you have never had the pleasure of experiencing Canada and all she has to offer.. please consider this warm invitation..
cheers

Hey Olga, I'm 16 and another huge fan of yours from Southern California and I just wanted to say if you came over here for a show or two you would be most welcomed. You have quite a bit of fans over here. Thanks for being so cool to your fans over the years, and here's hoping you will continue to play.

Hello Olga, my name is V’ctor, I am of Argentina. First I want to be thankful by Toy Dolls, enchants to me. And second thank you very much to answer the questions. Now I want to ask to you, for you.... As it is the song most difficult to touch in the guitar of Toy Dolls? Thanks.
VICTOR

Hi Olga,
Perhaps jumping the gun a little here, but assuming that the major Toy Dolls news coming soon to the website involves some long awaited UK Shows (sorry to mention a touchy subject), what will you do about tickets? Obviously demand will be huge and they'll probably end up on ebay for a couple of hundred quid. Have you any ideas how to ensure people get them? What about e-mailing everyone who has corresponded with you to give them priority?
Also, I saw you in Paris in November 2004, and you guys were amazing - in my opinion you are good enough to play the UK right now, so come on then?
Sorry if the news actually turns out not to be UK show related, but you've got to admit, the hints are there!
You seem to be on the UK gig circuit very regularly at the moment - you must be picking up the vibes that the time is right.
What size venue do you think would be booked for a Toy Dolls show, and who would support?
All the best anyway.

hello Olga,
i'm emo, a hungarian girl, i love your band, will u come to hungary ever
more? i hope yes, greetings from hungary

Hey Olga! my name is Renato, I'm from Brazil, south of Brazil, I knew about some shows of you here in Brazil, in SP with Lambrusko Kids, but S‹o Paulo it's so far away from Porto Alegre (where I live).
I'm the biggest fan of Toy Dolls in my state (I hope so..) and I askin' about a chance of Toy Dolls play here, in Porto Alegre. Have some chance? I need to see you before I die!!! And I hope meet you and gave to you a record of my band, you're my hero man! Toy Dolls was my inspiration to made a band.
Thanks for attention and sorry for my bad english.

Q:Hello,
Must confess I am a more recent admirer than a lot of your fans (I got to appreciate what you do through the live Dickies album) - I have only recently (past year) turned my sisters (aged 50 and 52) plus my sons (aged 6 and 2) on to the Toy Dolls. It was Our Last DVD wot did it ! Now we are proud owners of most every available CD and video !
I notice you may be making signed photos available I would love some for my new converts if you can make one or two available ?
Al

Thank you for caring and listening. asum asum asum.

Anyway, Enjoy the holiday!
Cheers.
Dom and family.

hi! i'm nahuel, from argentina.. i want to tell you that i'm doing a fanzine with one of my friends, and i would like you to answer a couple of questions for it
1)what do you feel playing in one of the most old and respected punk bands?
2) we know that you have been in argentina some years ago.. what do you think about argentinian people, the bands that played with you and argentina in a more general view?
3) what is your favourite band ever? and actual band?
4) how can you define the music of the toy dolls and which were your influences at the beginning of the band?
5) to finish... are you thinking in coming to argentina soon?
my english is not the best, but i do what i can
thanks

Hey! thank you for your list of questions! kinda interview!
1. I am flattered you say that! not sure I like the OLD bit!! but it feels good!
2. Oh, we were only there for one night! cant really judge somewhere after a few hours! Wild gig though! we didn't get the chance of seeing the other bands unfortunately.
3.Favourite band ever, If I really had to pick one, I would say SLF.
4.We call our music Toy Dolls music. Loads of early influences, Sham 69, Sweet, Slade, Mud, Chuck Berry....
5.No, I am too tired from answering all these questions haha!...
...of course, we hope to be there this year!

Hi.......
I had always thought that the persons mentioned in your songs were fictional, but from these pages, I see that they really exists.
So, then I wonder: Have you ever gotten into any problems from these songs ?
I mean, Fat Bob was probably not pleased of having his lack of personal hygiene exposed. And what about "Keith's a thief" ? Was Keith happy about this song ?
And did you find out how to deal with Neal ?
Keep up the good work.

How much to bring the toy dolls to Dallas Texas for a private party?
Also I can arrange a television appearance.

Hey Olga, love reminiscing on the good old days in particular the roxy glasgow in the mid eighties (was also the night i met my misses), we have both just watched the toy dolls "our last dvd" brought back some great memories and also the energy and participation by the dutch crowd was 2nd best to the performance. My question is You mentioned on the dvd interview that you haven't ruled out a few gigs in England and if all was going well it may be a possibility, would you also consider playing some Scottish gigs?

Hi Olga, I'm a big Toy Dolls fan from Sweden.
i was just wondering if you could learn out the guitar solo in: "We Quit The Cavalry", in your guitar lessons?!
or the solo in "Fat Bobs Feet". i would be very happy! or if you can send me the tabs by e-mail. you are the greatest guitar player i know!
well take care
Thanks Emil...
(my english sucks)

Hello,
I am a big fan from the U.S. and was curious if there are any plans for some shows over here (Especially in the East...) You guys have rocked it out over the years, thanks for all the great albums and songs!! I'll keep introducing your band to punkers over here (So far I'm responsible for the purchase of at least 15 - 20 copies of Dig That Groove, Baby for new friends and fans...)
Cheers from the States!
Jonathan H. (Lancaster, PA, USA)

Just to ask,did Lee give you the cd and what did you think of it?
Also what do you think of this?
Cheers
Kev

Hi Olga, I'm really hoping this isn't your last tour, as I've never seen you play. When will you be touring the UK again, or even more specifically, the North East? Cheers, Phil.

Hi Olga!
I'm Pol from Barcelona.
I asked you once which distortion uses Tommy and you answered me his sound was the overdriven Ampeg. Here's my new question: Which is the exact amp model Tommy uses?

I guess this is more of a comment than a question. With as much touring as you do you probably don't remember this... I think it was in 1997 you played in Worcester Massachusetts, U.S. with No Doubt and the Vandals. My wife & I were there to see your band so when No Doubt was playing we went out back & asked if you wouldn't mind coming out & chatting with us for a minute....and you did! I just thought that was very cool of you to take the time to talk to a couple of fans when you could have been relaxing & having a pint after your set. Anyway, keep up the good work! Your band is one of a kind =0)
Dennis
(Now in Long Beach, California, U.S.)

Greetings Olga!
I hope you can answer my question fully, but it's cool if you can't. I want to know what components you use to get your blazing guitar sound. What gauge are your strings? Do you use any pedals, or just tubes? Do you use the APS-2 pickups, the SSL-1 pickups or what? What are your knob settings on your amp? High treble? High bass? What about your mids? I can't replicate that sound, no matter how hard I try! Sorry 'bout all the questions, but you blaze like no ones business and it's awesome! Oh yea, tour the east coast of the US
again!
Stay mellow,
Justin

Hi there...
I'm a huge fan and i have a suggestion for ya.
Why not make a christmas cover album with all the stupid christmas songs. I'm sure they would be much more nicer to listen to then.
Rudolph the red nosed reindeer
Jingle bells etc.
Please make my day till next year
Keep up the good work!
greetings from Sweden

Hello Olga!
I'm a fan from Sweden who quite recently started to play the guitar. I love your guitar section, because it gives me an opportunity to learn something to impress my friends with.
Since I'm a beginner, it sometimes is hard for me to get everything you say (it could also be because the quality of the film isn't as good as one would want ;) ). Why don't you post tabs on your site as well, to make it easier to play your songs?
Please come to Sweden soon!!!
Sincerely Henrik

Hello Olga! Just want to say that you are the best guitarist at this planet. I hope you guys come to Sweden soon. I was just wondering if there are any tabs for Toccata?
It is one of my favourites but I cant find any tabs for it, I would really like to learn it!!!
Could you please help me and send me a tab?
Regards
William

Hey there Olga,HENKIE pANKy HERE
MAN YOU oLGA YOU,you can make it a hard time for a fan at these times!
Sad you will not continue with David,or maybeeeeee Tommy !
I just know you will make the best of it and therefore
Wish you a mERrY mErry ChriStmess and A happy and healthy 2006.

Hi Olga
We wish you and a Happy New Year.
We hope there will be a great show in Budapest again.

Hi
Why don't you ever play in London anymore yet you play all round Europe. Play in bloody London.
Callum from London

I see that all your gigs remain overseas.
Do you have any intentions of coming to the United States to do any gigs?
My opinion is that you should do at least a mini tour over here. I live in Southern California. I know that you will acquire ticket sales. When I saw you perform last (at the glass house) it was packed.
If you are getting towards the end of your music career and final touring... it would be nice to see you perform one last time. I am confident that others feel the same. End it with a last big BANG! I think you owe it to all your US listeners/consumers.
Please drop me an email and let me know your thoughts.
THank you ---- Jim Mulick, A Fellow Musician

happy new year Olga !
hope it will be full of good news for ya !
cant wait for the updates !

OI! Olga! We work in a shit-hole and feel like shit, the only good thing is that we can listen to your music. We need to do something with our lives before its to late, but how and what? We know that you can't really help us, but it's good to know that you have an "ear" for us fans. Hope to see you soon!

chance! Just to say thanks for the great entertainment over the years and to congratulate you on superbly inventive writing.

hi Olga...
My name is Kari & I'm a big big fan of The Toy Dolls!!
anyway, I want to ask if you could help me with a charity punk gig i'm arranging to mark the 20th anniversary of the chernobyl disaster with funds raised going to chernobyl children lifeline
I;m not a promoter or owt, just an ordinary gal who for some reason had an (mad?)idea of putting on a gig
more info on what i'm doing can be found at:
www.freewebs.com/scaredy-cat
What i'm looking for if possible(?) if something donated from The Toy Dolls for my raffle? eg: CD, DVD, T-shirt, signed sunglasses? anything really of The Toy Dolls which fans would love have a chance to win
If you could help that would be GREAT!!
cheers
kari ...x

Hey Olga!! Dan the Man from Colorado here!! Ok this has been on my mind for quite some time now, and I want to get it strait. I've noticed that K'cee and Marti are the longest lasting Toy Dolls, staying with you for 4 albums together, and marti on another 2. So here's my question.Why is it that you have had so many different members of the Toy Dolls, and why have they not lasted for more than one album (besides Marti K'cee and Dean)? Ok that was 2 questions, but they came in a package deal. Alright that's all for me.
Cheers!!!
Dan
P.S. i know you get this a lot, but you really should come to the states.

Hi, my name is Ignacio, I'm from Argentinean,i want to know if you think play in argentina in this year. because yours argentinian s fans know they you played in Brazil but no here, we think that give shows in argentina don't give enough money, please can you give some information about that? Happy new year!!.
El Colo

Hi!
We will be in South America this year, I really hope it will include Argentina! I don't know about the financial side, our manager deals with all that stuff! We really hope to be there soon!
Happy New Year to you also!
