Anders' Tour Diary for Ultimate Guitar

[MadMeg]

Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere and I just missed it, but Anders seems to be doing a tour diary for Ultimate Guitar.

Tour Diary

Thanks! Didn't know of this

Haha, Petri from Rapture is their merch guy. I wonder if Rapture is really done since Anders said "used to be in Rapture". That is crazy.

 

[thedeadwing]

Rapture is/was brilliant!

 

[Bleak Eyes]

Yeah, it is funny that I was just listening to Silent Stage a few days ago. I love Rapture, but they have been inactive for quite awhile. Someone from the band actually made a forum post last month saying that they were working on demos, but I guess that not everyone in the band is dedicated unfortunately.

''Futile'' is such a masterpiece
Next time Katatonia should tour together with a band like Rapture

 

[Jester-Race]

Songs for the Withering is a masterpiece.

Thank you for reading this post.

Jonas picking up where Anders left off.

Part 3

 

[MadMeg]

Part 4 is up already. Jonas is a little more chatty in this one.

Metal Hammer's own festival Hammerfest is located in a weird (to me) environment. Some kind of vacation camp in the midst of beautiful hills and next to the ocean. As I have never seen this kind of camp before, the first thing that comes to mind is the ferries that go between Finland and Sweden. If you would take out the interior of those ferries and place them on land… that would describe it. Apartment complexes with cabins/apartments everywhere and each one filled with shitfaced people. Perfect place for a metal festival really.

 

[Lefthander]

great!

Cool! I enjoyed reading all this.
And now that Anders and Jonas have done their duties, it would be nice to read from the other boys as well!!

 

[MadMeg]

Ask and ye shall receive!

Part 5 - Sodomizer

I told same thing to Petri in Ljubljana last Saturday - man, Rapture should really tour somewhere with Katatonia or Swallow the sun nex time He looked happy to hear that, of course.

Gonna read the other parts of the diary... Nille and Sodomizer were truly great on stage!!!
Hope they'll both remain with Katatonia.

 

[Wildhoney]

What about the next parts of the tour ???
What 'Sodo' wrote was so funny It seems like he only wants to sleep
And when they all wrote about showers or laundry is funny too. In fact, I was wondering if they ever wash t-shirts they're used to wear each night on stage or not...

 

[L0bster]

I said back in 2006 that they'd need backtracks and got flamed for it. Well look who was right.

 

[Lisra]

2 very different situations.

 

[L0bster]

Obviously the vast majority of what comes out the PA system is live musicmanship anyway, and 'tonia has had fairly layered production for a good 10 years now, so I cant agree that its very different situations. And, seeing them live 5-6 times in scandinavia, at least half of these occasions they sounded thin as fuck. But, hell, bottom line is that im happy they finally faced reality and brought in the backingtracks.

 

[MadMeg]

Nille's turn (finally)!

 

[affinityband]

shit, i went to the cardiff gig and then went to fuel after, we left pretty soon though because we needed cash and there were some ladies in another place. wouldve much preferred to slam a few jagerbombs down anders neck though.
