I think a few people know this from this board. But i never posted it....

I won a contest last year to play on stage with In Flames. Here is a pic.

One of the best days of my life! Being an In Flames Fanboi since 1996 and all.

Played Jotun with them in Omaha NE. During the sound check i also played Episode 666 with them too

I has more pics too. But i felt like posting to show how awsome i was for a total of 4 mins and some seconds! lol

The Head guy at the In Flames fan club is supposed to be posting the videos of the winners.....but its been almost a year. I have asked him a few times....but he is a very busy man, i and understand that.....Im just glad i got to play with them.

That is my guitar i am playing. Edwards LPC. Now with EMGs. Bjorn seemed impressed by it. Jesper knew of Edwards. He said, " Thats an ESP right?"
Very cool day, i got let in early....hung out with them pretty much the whole time. Bjorn fed me a bunch of beers, as did their roadie. Very cool time! Very cool and down to earth band!

After the sound check Bjorn said "So, how was it?" I said I could die right now. He said "well, dont....we have a show to play." Very cool guys.

More pics

Heres a few more...from the soundcheck and the show.

Did one of them sit out for the songs you did, or did they pull a Maiden?

Bjorn is one of the coolest guys in this metal thing. I've met him 2 or 3 times, and he's so mellow and laid back. He even remember be the third time '... Not you again!'

Seems every time I meet In Flames Anders is being a moody ass though...

Ive met them 2 times....once at the sounds of the underground tour. And this time where i got to play with them. Anders was cool as shit both times.....During the show, i was standing side stage watching them perform (with my VIP pass ) In between the first and second song, anders saw me and walked over and gave me the knuckle it...lol I was in awe...lol Was very cool. I talked to him briefly before the show, cause he was sick as a dog.

The day i played with them, i got to the show at about 11am and hung out them them all day. Daniel showed me around the set as soon as i got there. Showing me all their gear and such. We smoked pretty much all day with Jesper as well as drinking beer. Very cool guys!

When i met them at sounds, Anders and bjorn were the only ones that seemed excited to be there.

My opinion on Anders is. I think he is a shy person. And people take that as having an attitude or being moody. He is a very soft spoken person and seems to keep to himself. You can really see it in his interveiws and such. But getting a personal day with the band.....really gave me a feel for who these people really are....know what i mean?
