Who's eye is this?

Answer tomorrow.

Seb, the drum-tech.

Here is Seb. He prepares a used drum head every day for me to throw into the audience.






Voila!



Oscar's battle-face.

Day off in Oberhausen.

There is a train track near the Turbinenhalle where we play. I left the shutter open for a while when a train went past. It was actually pitch dark when this picture was taken.




Two guys from Deathdrestruction. Henrik "Hinken" Danhage and Jonas "Lillen" Ekdahl. We were hanging out outside the bus. It was really warm for being in November. So the two lovebirds found each other in the night...see how cute they look when they do "Lady and the Tramp".





Our tour bus. It went thru a wash machine yesterday. I was sleeping and dreaming about being chased by aliens. The sound of the brushes came nearer and it sounded like alien space ships closing in. It was scary and nice. Then ther sound became too loud and I woke up.

On tour.

Our friends from Holland.




Hiroki "Rocky" Oda from Tama came by yesterday. Always nice to meet Rocky. Rocky enjoyes more progressive drumming so I did some of that to make him feel comfortable. The band kind of looked amused/puzzled at times:-)

Gothenburg

Two happy guys. Stefan and Magnus. Visited us backstage, drank everything they could get their hands on. I have a feeling they don't feel like a milion bucks today.






The Gothenburg crowd, some of our closest friends.

Various pics.

Jens playing the church organ in Anderslöv. Yes, all them pipes work. Di di diiiiiii. Di di di di diiiiiiiiiiii di!




Oscar not liking the wine in Västervik. This is a common sight backstage. Last summer we played the Mora-Orsa-eus show and Oscar de-peopled the hotel-hang-pre-party with this sort of behaviour. Jill Johnsson and her band left like cockroaches when we entered the party. Later she and her band warned Lisa Miskovsky, whom was supposed to stay at our hotel, to avoid it like the plauge if she wanted to sleep at all. In the end we sat there all by ourselves with no other guests. It turned our pretty OK in the end.






You can tune a piano but you can't tune-a-fish. Jens trying to make something playable out of my piano.





This guy seems to show up everywhere lately. Björn "Bear" Gelotte.







This guy is a car mechanic from the Swedish riviera. Would you want to meet him in a dark alley?







Fred "DD" Lars and his longtime girlfriend Mia. This was at Fuzz guitar show in Gothenburg.






Me making an ass of myself trying to be funny.

Summer on the Swedish riviera.

Paul partying in the southern atmosphere of the Swedish summer.




Growing some exotic fruits. Only possible on the south side of the garden.

Art metal-band line up picture

Jonas Hellborg (electric bass), Yours truly (acoustic kit drums), V. Selvaganesh (kanjira), Jens Johansson (electric keyboards) and IA Eklundh (electric guitar).
Check the height difference between the drummers. No, there is no chair or the like I'm standing on. The pic was taken outside IA's Guitar camp houses.
