Candlemass guitarist sentenced to two years in prison

[Blind Guardian]

A couple of years ago they even let three convicted neo nazi copkillers break out,i wouldn´t mind if they became a little more hard on the prisoners.

What do you mean, they "let" them break out?

Frankly, I'm opposed to rape. That's just me, I guess...

 

[Blind Guardian]

Well they didn´t stop them so i consider that letting them break out. You´d think you wouldn´t be able to escape from a "maximum security" prison.

 

[zabu of nΩd]

What the hell? Did they ever actually recapture them?

 

[waif]

Maximum security being an old guy with a taser, and the doors are locked at night?

they must bring in john perez to finally complete Candlemass Aeturnus

Why? He wasn't making a living as a guitarist?

Probably not. He left Candlemass around 90 not rejoining until around 02/03 nor writes any music,etc... I would imagine he makes very little money in music.

 

[Carcassian]

What ? He doesn't live in a huge mansion, driving his Ferrari around the grounds while being blown by porn stars ?

Who'd have thought that the 10,000 or so doom fans the world over couldn't keep him in this lifestyle!

 

[waif]

Well most members of legendary extreme metal bands make a decent living at it. Not rich, but well-off.

Didn't Varg escape when they allowed him to go home to his family for the holidays? A convicted murderer + attempted church burner, and they let him go home...

Was Varg imprisoned in Norway or Sweden?

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Norway

 

[Einherjar86]

That's what I thought. I really want to read the book he wrote in prison, but I know it's probably near impossible to get.

There you go man.

 

[The_Lunar_Strain]

Yeah. Maximum sentence is like 12 years.
Although they have a ridiculously low crime rate, so who are we to judge?

Then he tried to blow up another church and escape on a plane I think lol

Scandinavia sucks at criminal justice.

Low compared to America, anyways...

Indeed. If in The US he'd be getting dry-analed by RIAA as well...
