My Interview With DT

[Nt3N]

NT3N,

Do you think you'll get around to my question? I've been dying to hear the answer to it....

well, the thing is I just have about 30 mins for my interview.. promoters seem very strict about it.. and I've got plenty of questions to ask.. anyway, if there's any time left for it I will ask it.. or maybe I could just informally ask that when the interview is over

i'll let you know!

 

[Nt3N]

my list is done at 98%... i still will be considering some changes possible.. but the main structure will be the one that follows. I tried hard in making relatively specific questions appear more general (so to get an answer) and in including in a single questions many different points that you (but people on my forum too) made.

here's what it looks like if u have any suggestions please do post them!
of course I didn't write the fun-informal question but this does not mean I won't be asking them abou those topics!



1. In October the recording sessions for the new album will start. How is the songwriting going and what do you expect from your new release?

2. On the official website I read you will be using both blastbeats and acoustic parts. Does this mean the new album will add a The Gallery–like sound to the experimental path you walked on the last years?

3. Reading the titles of the new songs and the splash-screen on the official website it seems like you’re taking a new direction based on subtle allusions and explicit lyrics. Is this the case? Will the new album have a ‘Parental Advisory’ sticker on it?

4. Will there be any place for clean or female vocals on the new album?

5. What about Johansson? Ever thought about bringing him back as a special guest for some special song to be published as a bonus track, for example?

6. Every time a new album comes out people start making the most variate predictions on how the sound will be. Some say you’ll become a progressive-metal band, other say you will turn to a metalcore style. Do you feel like you can be influenced by what people expects from you?

7. What about wearing onstage-uniforms (just like In Flames or Slipknot do) or using pyros?

8. Do you consider yourselved more a swedish band or an internation band? Is there a ‘swedish-pride’ feeling that guides you?

9. Is there any plans for making a new DVD or is Live Damage still too close in time to think about making a new one?

10. In live shows, headliners usually have a more carefully balanced sound than the support bands. Do you feel the quality of your performance gets better when you’re headlining?

3. Hmmm... Where are those titles? The splash-page? I would love a Parental Advisory-sticker!!!!

4. Or a duett?

7. I WANT TO SEE THAT!!!!

still want to know about the pin-ups...

3. well.. InsignifiCunt and Music That I Touch MySelf To seem to be pretty explicit

4. yeah, I could ask that, thanks!

7. me too!

what do u mean by pin-ups?

 

[Tritonus]

Would you ever consider making a movie and in that case - Would it be musical or maybe a documentairy and would you be the actors?

Would you ever consider having dancers on stage?

What about duets? Will we ever hear Mikael in a duet with another metal singer?

Some bands say that it's irresponsible to drink alchohol on stage and that it ruins you performance. Is this total poppycock?

Could you ever do pin-up pictures to help your career? (weird question I know....) edited

Do you practise any sports?

Have any fetischs?

I wrote this yesterday. This is what I mean by pin-ups...

edit1: Will you write the final list later? AND the interview?
edit2: I never saw insignicunt Where was it?

 

[marduk1507]

Its on the DT page in the news, you just have to scroll down a bit.

I hope I'm misteaken.. do u mean I should ask them if they might do some naked pictures to help their career??? I'm not gay! I won't ask that

anyway this question is pretty weird.. I guess that a lady should ask them about that, I will not

 

[plintus]

I might be able to get to Goteborg in October... I hope

 

[Nt3N]

no offense into that: but does this mean you're gay?

9.Is there any plans for making a new DVD or is Live Damage still too close in time to think about making a new one?

Typically, any question about the future is answered with,

"Well, we're not planning to but we'll see what happens"

If you have another question you wanted to ask instead of that, I would suggest putting it in. It is your interview, of course, so it's your choice.

Also, I don't give two shits about how you ask about the "Final Resistance" question, I've just been dying to know the answer for about 2 years now...

Thanks
Zack

yep.. u're right.. but I guess most questions are about the future, so let's hope they won't be so generic...

I might also ask about the rumours that say this is gonna be their second-last album..

I might also ask about the rumours that say this is gonna be their second-last album..

NOOOOOOO!!!!

Where didya hear that?!?

This may sound a bit fanboyish, but I would never bear seeing DT say "this is our last record."

If they do say it, I hope it's with the "Hideo Kojima Style."

--

I hope there will never be a "Parental Advisory" ticket on any DT cd.

 

[Nt3N]

NOOOOOOO!!!!

Where didya hear that?!?

I was told by a friend who read this on some forum.. actually I'm not pretty sure to asl this as it's just rumours and I don't think it's very likely that DT end their career in a few years.. the explenation for this - according to the rumours - it's that the contract with Century Media provides that DT makes 2 more albums, one of which may be a live album.. well actually I guess this whole thing is even too detailed to be believable.... aynway...

has any other heard about that rumours?

 

[KitKat]

This may sound a bit fanboyish, but I would never bear seeing DT say "this is our last record."

Sadly it has to happens one day...

bullshit - there are dozens of labels out there who would love to see dt on the bill, records are selling in strong numbers on both continents, amazing live act - the end of dt is solely up to existing members, NOT circumstances luike contracts, etc.

Would there be end for dt after almighty Sundin and Chef Niklasson take on side-projects? Hardly that would be possible in case they wanted to end their career in music.

Everything can change one day, but, seriously, - fuck the rumors.

This band is over when their music is forgotten.

Not. Gona. Happen.

Totally agreeing with that.

No offense, but that's just crap. DT's carreer will not end just as soon as their contract with Century Media expires.

That's stupid, since, as said before, there are plenty of other lables that will certainly be glad to have DT sign with them. There's Nuclear Blast, SPV, LIMP, Noise and oh so many more.

Sadly it has to happens one day...

True, but DT has been forever immortalized, and they will live as long as we, the true fans, hear their music and pass it on to other generations.

As Plintus said, the band will be over when the music is forgotten, and that will not happen.

Still, it'll be really sad to see them part... .

 

[Villain]

Good questions. I hope all of them get answered.

As for the silly rumour, DT's previous contract with CM expired after Exposures was released (IIRC) and they just went and re-negotiated a new contract with them (which was the reason why Character was delayed). It doesn't have to mean anything more than that. If the band-members have decided DT will come to an end after two more albums, then so be it, but I doubt some random person on some random forum could know that before me. At least I hope so.

[Nt3N]

yeah, I thought too those were just silly rumours.. still my friend seem really convinced about it.. it's true that there's plenty of labels out there so I think this is just gonna end as a rumour and nothing more. luckily.

*erases question from list*
