// GUITAR HEAVEN //

Photo: Christie Goodwin

A great (very intimate and sweaty) gig in North London this weekend. It was great to try out some new tracks in the set. "No Stone Unturned" felt particularly good. It was fun to play a UFO cover as well...
Greenday came straight from Wembley stadium to do a surprise appearance just after our set. Stayed and checked out a few tracks!!?.....
Last night I attended the Classic Rock Awards. Could not believe how many great guitarists that showed up and sat together at the ceremony. Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Joe Perry, Billy Gibbons, Slash, Brian May, Ron Wood, Pete Townsend. Joe Bonamassa got up and blew everyone away with a song as well. Truly amazing night. And of course there was a small Marshall amp in everyone's goodie-bag as we left :)

Meeting up with the guys again Wednesday and Thursday to finalize the set list for Germany. Soon we're on the road again.

See you out there,

The main one- surprisingly had to be Europe. Really great performance.

For me not really a convert, more of a re-awakeneing, ENTOMBED were just superb, i hadn't seen them since they supported Type O negative on the October rust tour, am a very liberal listener of them , but after that performance i bought 2 cds' and am well and truly a fan again 

We talked about this before they played, and I agree with you - a great performance.

Kreator were probably the band that I was expecting to be bit 'meh', like Sodom were on Friday, but they were awesome.

I'm liking the love for Europe - due to the reaction to the band, I think Bloodstock has been vindicated for their booking.

Its so hard to choose this year! Its between Saxon, Blind Guardian, Kreator, Anathema, Turisas and Europe. Maybe Carcass, Arch Enemy, and Sabaton as well...gah too many good bands!

One of the best overall linups i have ever seen at a metal festival tbh, and europe have probably sold afew best of albums on the back of this too  

Hopefully will sell a hell of alot of the new 1 aswell 




Re: THIRD HEADLINE ACT ANNOUNCED EUROPE EXCLUSIVE UK PERFORMANCE

by Joho on Mon Aug 17, 2009 9:15 am

I never thought i'd say a classic rock band was better than whitesnake, but europe were better than everyone... Wow. Thats what a live band should sound like. Apart from the few people who are best not spoken of it was amazing. It was great to see so many people go there only knowing final countdown and watching them slowly start loving europe, and singing every chorus from after hearing it once. 




Re: THIRD HEADLINE ACT ANNOUNCED EUROPE EXCLUSIVE UK PERFORMANCE

by ANDREWHALL28 on Mon Aug 17, 2009 2:49 am

I was a fan going in, i'm an even bigger fan coming out, one of the best live rock bands i've ever seen 


// BLOODSTOCK ROCK! //


We just got of stage!!!

We didn't know what to expect....It went fucking great! Someone said it was the biggest cheer of the festival after our set!!

Loads of magazines were here tonight.....Classic Rock Magazine, Metal Hammer amongst others....There seem to be a great vibe around our new c.d. Last look at eden in the UK.....

Like we've always said.

"one of these days this band is going to amount to something" ; )

On top of that we were handed an award for being voted the best swedish hard rock band "ever" by the people through swedish radio P4....thank you so much for voting for us.

See you out there

// NO SLEEP 'TILL SWEDEN ROCK //


We had a great time last night in Trondheim, hooking up with the boys in Whitesnake again. Watching them play is always a treat. We used to blast "Slide it in" in the tour bus all the time. David and Co has been great inspiration over the years......


Just a couple of weeks left to Sweden Rock Festival........We've tried out a couple of new songs here in Norway. "Last look at eden" and "Gonna get ready". It feels great to add some new stuff to the set list. We've also played Seventh sign from PIP and it seems like it's working. There may be some further changes before next weekend......


Playing Sweden Rock.....feels like coming home....and we're sure gonna make the most of it.....a new "majestic" single coming out as well........exiting times indeed!


See you soon

We chose to work with Patric after seeing his work with In Flames amongst others.

// THANK YOU ANTOFAGASTA //

The first show day turned out to be a very long one.......


Even though our plane was delayed 5 hours, some luggage went missing, no electricity in the dressing room. etc. it was all worth it when we met our fans in Anto fagasta. We had a warm welcome indeed. They had even rented a huge bus filled it with fan club members following us to the hotel.....


Like always on the first show there were some other problems but the audience was great, they sang beautiful and it turned out to be a really cool show.


Hope to see you again
