Henry Olavi "Remu" Aaltonen (born 10 January 1948[1]) is a Finnish drummer and singer.

For a while the family lived in an abandoned train car in Ruskeasanta, Vantaa near the construction of the Helsinki Airport.

[2] The family's father Otto Aaltonen was an alcoholic who was not always around, and the mother Eeva sold moonshine to support them.

The nickname most likely comes from the Finnish verb remuta, meaning to make a lot of noise.

[2] Aaltonen was 16 years old and already playing in various bands when he received his first prison sentence for burglaries and other property crimes in 1964.
