I am not Samsara (obviously), but in speaking to Per and Mike (and the rest of the guys) after the Bmore show, it looks very likely as though they will be back in the States in either Feb. or April for another 4-5 week stint. Also, very likely that they will be adding a few new tracks (from WS)...

I'm with ya man... I'll be 43 in March 09' and quite honestly, the older I get the heavier I tend to like it :rock:

You're right, he plays a 9 string guitar, but I could have sworn I only saw 8 tuning pegs on that thing and I was right on the rail in front of him and sober as a chruch mouse hmmm... Must be getting old, the eyes are as sharp as they used to be lol ! <For the 2007-2008 Tour; From FirstAct...

I am with you Advent1, Baroness actually blew me away! Very trippy corss between really old Soundgarden, some Neurosis and Isis moments, with heavy doses of blissed out stoner metal for good measure ! Very pleasantly surprised by them and light years better than the garbage that was Nachtmystium...

Sorry man, let's just agree to disagree on this... Nachtmystium were just awful in my opinion ! Every song pretty much sounded exactly the same, they are extremely average guitarists (using that term loosely btw) at best, and the drummer sounded like he was actually playing completely out of...

Hey big tony were you one of the dudes that was hanging out with Portnoy and came back into the dressing room after the show ? If so, I was the dude with very short buzzed hair and a brown Bass Communion shirt on that was back in the back and when Mike was telling his story about the drum seat I...

The original pressing (MCA/Kapp) goes for several hundred bucks if you can find it, otherwise the reissue that Michael Piper (RIP)/The Wild Places put out in 2003 was a limited print run of 600 Lps. I forget who actually pressed these, but Meatball sounds right (I have it but forgot to look and...

Very unlikely that it will see the light of day as it was originally intended (I believe it was going to be a deluxe 7" vinyl only release) since the guy who was behind all this (Mikael Piper/ The Wild Places) passed away somewhat unexpectedly back in April. Perhaps it might be covered on the...

Don't know any specific dates or venues, however, I am nearly certain the US tour starts on 9/15 and goes through 10/15.

Pretty sure there are issues with licensing rights that at the root of why Would? is not going to be released anytime soon. I think Mike is disappointed, but there appear to be some legal issues that are holding it up from what I have heard from some very realiable sources.

For some reason I believe this is a typo and they are referring to the Porcelain Heart cd single instead... Could be wrong, but that's my guess.

Actually I have been very fortunate to hang out with all the guys (including Lopez) many times (even on their bus for extended periods of time) and they are seriously some of the nicest, unassuming, and chilled out dudes you could ever hope to meet and hang out with. Just music nerds and geeks...

Seems they will also be doing a show on 10/4 at Jaxx as well, Arch Enemy are confirmed but you'll note it states National Act TBA and seems logical that since AE are opening for Opeth in Philly at the Troc that they will be playing Jaxx the next night afterward (you'll note on the Gigantour...
