i met them in the US a few years ago - must have been their first US tour - and they were sooooo nice and we drank til like 7am, which was great, and i got a collective crush on them, and just about every other of my favorite bands that i got to meet that year. Last year when i was living in Gothenburg, the first friend i made was mp-akk from this board. we met to go see DT play in town. Ran into some of the band guys in the audience (metal shows in GBG are always "star-studded" affairs anyway, of course), and realized I was really in Sweden : P Looking forward to stalking them in NYC or any other nearby gigs that I can reach on this coming tour. I tend to need a pretty good excuse to have any fun, so i'm really glad that metal tour season is kicking in again.
