CANDLEMASS looking to come to America early next year!!!

[Jasonic]

Looks like they are awaiting a good invitation...

About Heavy Metal: You are playing European festivals this summer. Any chance of making it to the U.S. for a tour later on?

Leif Edling: "Early next year I would say. We are pretty busy this summer and we're going to tour in Europe in the fall. We go to Australia in November in we have some gigs in December as well. We are talking about going to America, so hopefully somebody will give us an offer to come over and put a package together with CANDLEMASS and a couple of other bands. You need somebody to give you an invitation to come. If people in America like the album, if it gets good reviews and people buy the record, I'm pretty sure someone will make us an offer."

[Jasonic]

Thank god?

who has a gimmick???

is wearing a cloak and a cross a gimmick?

 

[Jasonic]

Messiah bashing will NOT be tolerated!!!

Did you ever think that the cloak is all he could get that fits him?

 

[Diabolik]

he could wear a Moo-Moo. Like Homer on the Simpsons when he got real fat to get workmans comp.

I am sorry the fingers you have dialed with are too fat please mash the keypad with your palm to obtain a dialing wand.

that episode is my favorite Simpsons.

I love when the Ice Cream truck passes Lisa's bus and Homer is eating all the ice cream as Lisa is defending fat people.

 

[Diabolik]

they should have a fest where all the bands have fat singers and it can truely be a HEAVY metal fest.

 

[Jasonic]

I knew there was demand here for DORKTHRONE!

 

[Jasonic]

So we've got Savatage and Testament signed on already...

I don't giveth a rats ass about Jon (overrated) Oliva, but hot damn!!!!
Dissin' on Chuck Billy will earn you a ticket to LEAVE THE FUCKIN' HALL!

 

[Diabolik]

Jason...when did you become a Testament fan?

Plus Chuck Billy isnt fat, he is just a large man. I am talking fat ass fat. Jon Olivia, Messiah, and who else is fat????

 

[Jasonic]

I wouldn't call myself a Testament fan.
I do certainly appreciate them, on the same level as I do with bands like Overkill and Nuclear Assault. Never were fanboys, but know most of the classic material that seeing them live is a good time.

 

[Jasonic]

Chuck Billy is a kool kat.
Met him when he MC'd Milwaukee Metalfest in 2002.
Seemed very genuine.
I hear they have been playing awesome this current tour, with Skolnik.

This is my favorite large man vocalist!
PAUL KUHR FTW!!!!

We played with them Sunday. They crushed. Best Testament show I've seen in 15-16 years, at least.

 

[Jasonic]

Glad to hear.
They were mediocre at best (and I am being VERY kind) on the Metal Gods tour a few years back.
(Though in all fairness, it was Chuck's first full tour after his illness).

Seems like a primo choice for Powerfest 2008.
I think fans of most genres of metal could agree on this one.

 

[Will Bozarth]

not a big testament fan, but if I would say that I like ANY thrash bands, it would be them and Dark Angel, and since DA isnt around anymore... sure

 

[Will Bozarth]

i wish the previous attempt worked... did the Creeping Death cover then disappeared.

stupid Ron for breaking his back or whatever the fuck he did
