Exclusive interview with Peter Lindgren!!

[Koi]

it was a nice interview, and had a cozy feel to it, and sounds like you had a fun chat.

When Peter mentioned the early days of Opeth wanting to be the most "evil" band, I couldnt help but think of Illidan's signature.

 

[Mr Samsara]

Nice interview, thanks very much. Porcupine Tree ftw!

Now on getting in contact with Farfalla and Lopez!

Check this out re: Johan

 

[wut wut]

Hearing that he's a Cure fan makes me like Peter more now for some reason.

 

[Slunk]

Porcupine Tree comment surprised me. I'd have to agree though with Peter on that.

 

[mexicola]

Maybe that's just how the Swedes write?

No, it felt weird in Swedish too.

But it was interesting nonetheless.

I did not like your interview, or just the way you put it on your website. It's just irritating me. "blablabla says Peter, blablabla reveals Peter, blablabla replies Peter, blablabla explains Peter". Oh my god. Well... intesting but like some of us, I was hoping for more. The video tape thing was something that had to be asked. Anyway, good job for at least making an interview with him.

Lol, stop dumping on his writing style! Apparently my writing is "too academic" and lacks a certain je ne sais quoi!

Thanks for the interview, glad to see that he is in a happy place now. It's understandable that touring has put him off, didn't he say that in the interview on the Roundhouse Tapes (or was that someone else)? Though would've been nice to ask/add more, it's not often we hear things from Peter's side.

Was ok. Surprised humpty dumpty didn't make an appearance.

I noticed that some of you thought that the interview felt kind of "childish"...I apologize for that. I´m not a journalist/writer, just a doctor, specialized in childpsychiatry. Maybe that´s the reason...I work with children all days...hmm...yes, that has to be it!

And while we´re at it...why don´t I try to get an interview with Lopez?
Would that be of any interest....?

You bet your ass it would! = )

 

[affinityband]

the whole point of an interview is so you can see the whole conversation,quote for quote, rather than a brief memory of a conversation you had with him

 

[Twelveby5]

^ true that, but in his defense he at elast got off his ass and got that "interview" with PL (i, we have been waiting for a while for this)

Point taken. I will try to write the next interview in a more tradtional way.
Probably gonna have to use a recorder then.

I´m gonna try to interview all the members (and former members!) individually so I hope I can improve my writing...

Until then...hope you can stand my first conversation/interview with Peter!

Cheers for the effort - it's appreciated.

 

[hexwind]

Come on people ! he had a good job anyway !! even tho it would be better if he recorded the whole conversation.
anyways.

Mine is the 8th

mines the 9th omg lol

 

[Cognitive Intercourse]

Pres...thank you for posting this! It's great to hear what Peter is up to these days. And it was great to hear what his reaction to Watershed was. The guy must be the most humble and likeable guy in the history of metal. LOL.

Are you considering interviewing some of the other ex band members like Anders Nordin and Johan DeFarfalla?
