Ruud Jolie has been a staple guitarist in Within Temptation for over twenty years. The symphonic metal band is the most important Dutch export in the field of rock music and is considered a global standard-bearer in its genre. Ruud Jolie knows better than anyone what life on the road can be like. In connection with his upcoming book "In Spotlight
And Shadow," Ruud Jolie will share his experiences on Ongefilterd on Sunday, December 7th, on PHIL.
The successes and the accompanying fame. Performing for tens of thousands of fans on the world's biggest stages. Touring with Within Temptation alongside big names like Iron Maiden and Evanescence. But also the discomforts, the insecurities, and the stress. And of course, the inevitable and hilarious Spinal Tap incidents. Ruud recounts all this candidly, captivatingly, dryly, and with the necessary perspective and self-deprecation.
The program includes a Q&A and book signing.
