- In 1999 Keinänen left the band, as he had gotten a job in Great Britain.As G-Stealer, he was a terrible manbeast from the star system Mu Arae, just like Kita.
- It was originally thought, that this beast could replace genes of creatures it encounters, so that its name would have been Gene Replacer.
- This was an inside joke about Kiss's bassist, Gene Simmons and as a band greatly influenced by Kiss, Keinänen would in effect be Gene's replacer.
- It was, however, concluded that "replacer" sounded stupid and Gene couldn't really be replaced.
- In the end, the name was shortened to G-Stealer.
