    Hello Jeroen!

    You don’t know but I’m your fan since the very first time I meet the band and it was a long time ago, nearly 2005 and I’m always been curios to ask you what’s your favorite place to spend your vations and why?

    I send you a big kiss from Mexico!

    Hi Jeroen!

    I’d like to know what stuff you usually practice on your bass- do you also play some really difficult, fast technical stuff or do you prefer the more common basslines like these you use for Within Temptation?

    I’m a bassplayer too and I really like your part in Within Temptation! It’s great that there are other Bass players out there who also play fingerstyle! :)

    Greets,
    Liz

    Hello Jeroen.
    I was at the show yesterday in Paris…ONE word: AMAZING. I was carefully listening to the bass sound and look at your playing as I am a bass player myself. I just wonder why the bass is so “behind” on the recods. Please mix it louder for the next record. With all the arrangements it is difficult to get all the notes you play…and this is a shame. WT rocks. Regards

    Hey Joroen. Happy recent birthday! I hope you enjoyed it very much. I am so amazed with WT. I love every single song i have ever heard from the band. Keep rocking. Hope to see you in the Western U.S. soon. Best Wishes
