Air Guitar World Championship to Miri "Sonyk-Rok" Park
28.08.2004 MIRI PARK SHOWS THAT WOMEN CAN REALLY ROCK!
Air Guitars roared for the ninth time in Kuusisaari, Oulu [Finland] - for the next year the pacifism of the Air Guitar will be spread by Miri "Sonyk-Rok" Park. Sonyk-Rok won the title of Air Guitar World Champion in the Oulu Music Video Festival evening celebration, which became a true spectacle on August 27th. The five competitors who made it through to the final from the qualifying round on Thursday night fought the final battle with the reigning champ David "C-Diddy" Jung and the national champions from Australia, Austria, Belgium, New Zealand, Netherlands, Norway, United States, Finland, Ireland, and Germany. Sonyk-Rok's Air Guitar skills captivated the jury as well as the audience. Besides worldwide fame and glory, her performance to Hot for Teacher by Van Halen earned her a handmade Finnish Flying Finn guitar worth 2,500 euros and a VOX BM Special amplifier designed, donated and signed by Queen guitarist Brian May. The competition was tighter than ever: Sonyk-Rok and Tarquin "The Tarkness" Keys had equal points, and choosing the winner demanded altogether two re-rounds. The results of the Air Guitar World Championships: 1. Miri "Sonyk-Rok" Park, Unites States 2. Tarquin "The Tarkness" Keys, New Zealand 3. David C-Diddy "Jung, Unites States 4. Takeshi Kongouchi, Japan 5. Michael "The Destroyer" Heffels, The Netherlands 6. Mike "The Judge" Kaden, Austria 7. Svein "PuzzyFuzzbourne - The Prostitute of Rock" Kleivane, Norway 8. Troy "Rock 'n' Roll Troy" Carter, Australia 9. Victor Miranda "Viktower Málaga" Garcia, Spain 10. Garth "Chuck Mung" Donald, United States 11. Thomas "Smell Gibson" Murray, Ireland 12. Ingo "Ingroove" Schultz, Germany 13. Ron "Bucketbutt" Van den Branden, Belgium 14. Elina "Tarot Woman" Niiranen, Finland 15. Markku "Albert" Halme, Finland 16. Eero "Oulun oma poika" Ojala, Finland This time the compulsory song selected by the organisers was Walk Idiot Walk by The Hives. The US champion and now also the holder of the World Champion Title Sonyk-Rok was exhausted but happy: "The whole competition has been an amazing experience and I did not expect to win. It will be thrilling to see what the victory brings along. The main thing is that now I have shown that women can really rock!" According to tradition, the Air Guitarists in Kuusisaari invited the entire world to join together after the competition in an Air Guitar rendition of Neil Young's Rockin' in the Free World. According to the ideology of the Air Guitar, all the bad things in the world will disappear, if everybody plays the Air Guitar.

That was great! I love Bucketbutt. Ingroove playing with his feet and C-Diddy with the Hello Kitty on his chest. Funny shit.

This was the biggest event in the history of Finland. Their closing ceremonies outdid anything Athens could come up with. This basically legitimizes an obscure country; Finland is now on the map thanks to this air guitar competion.
