Praha

The kit after the show. Good thing it's a Tama so it will hold up during some abuse. I've had some issues lately of which level of (over)playing I should put into HammerFall. I come from a jazz/fusion-background and sometimes forget to hold back. I tried the old towel-over-the-head-in-a-complete-song-trick. But that just made it dark. Then I thought of the old holding-one-foot-on-one-bass-drum-in-a-complete-song-trick, but it got boring. So I just knocked the kit over in pure happiness and excitement.

Some Czech freaks after the show. I always take a pic of the crowd afterwards. You'll find them all in the HammerFall's facebook page.

What is this? Seems like it's a common light-sign in the old Czech republic official buildings.

Our bus driver Andy did his best to keep the bus on the Czech and Polish roads which are in serious need of repair. This night Joacim, Fredrik and my bunks were about 4 degrees above zero centigrade. I'm not kidding. We had all our clothes on. It was still freezing. We are buying sleeping bags tomorrow.

Walking with Joacim.

Took a walk in Luxenbourg. We found a factory, a train locomotive and a hole.




This, in Europe, familiar sign is a bit different. Seems like the man is fat.

Dummers point of view.

This is what I see night after night. Being a drummer is somewhat like being a half-musician, half-crew person. When the band is supposed to thank the audience after the gig (and I have to climb down and go in front of the drums) I feel shy and want to go and hide again.

This is our friend Andreas. He is from Germany and has been with us on tour for four days now. He is a journalist and photographer extraordinaire.

Wien

Oscar and his Olivia.

Jenny and I had a day off in Wien. Here in a candy shop. We asked for Hitler-kugeln. They only had Mozart-kugeln.

At Aida coffee shop. Cakes and tea/coffee.

Stefanplatz at night.

Ian Paice and I.

In the concrete were Ian Paice's hand-inprints (Gasometer in Wien). He is my first and only idol. I met him once and had the chance to sit down with him in a bar but I was too shy and felt speechless. Funny thing is that his hands are half the size of mine.

Befofe the gig in Paris.

Oscar getting in the mood singing..."I was in the mood."
In the background Pontus and Joacim.

Ahrrrgh! Fred, Jugge (Jörg Zaske) and Joacim behind.

OOOOOOOOOOHhmmmmmmmMMMMMMMMMooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOH!
