New Interview with Mike

[Benighted Joe]

Hey guys,

Just wanted to share this Swedish video greeting-thing I just received
in a Roadrunner newsletter. I'm pretty sure Mike was forced to do this
video. That would explain why he seem a bit tense/nervous. This is
not the Mike I know! Anyhow:

Here's the translation for you strange, non-Swedish-speaking-people :

Hello! I'm here at the Bonnier's Office [the book publisher?] to talk a little.
I just wanted to elaborate on what we are doing at the moment. Not that
much, actually. I'm writing music at home and I guess the others are busy on
their own. I know that Mendez currently plays Tango - it's true actually! I'm
composing at home and hoping to be able to put out a new album soon. I don't
know when we are going to record, but I'm guessing maybe this autumn... And
hopefully... It'll be a good metal album. Or whatever it might be. So, I hope you'll
wait for us... And we are probably going to do some gigs here at home [in
Sweden] when it's done, but for now I just wanted to say hi and wait for us.
Take care, bye!​

Looks like an extra part from the PT FOABP interview he did a while back.

Mendez doin the Tango? this needs to be recorded/videoed. :Smokin:

 

[Sexi Alexi 94]

id like to see him dancing the tango

 

[Benighted Joe]

you're a moron

Oh no... Some random guy at UltimateMetal said that I'm a moron and I don't
know why...

Or do I? I'm not against Roadrunner, but this is new for Mike to do something
like this, now isn't it? Think before you give such troglodytic comments.

 

[westknadrian]

that's a pretty big word

 

[nizzon]

Thanx! Havent seen that one.

Cant wait for the Stockholm-gig!
Maybe its time to try a little bigger place than Klubben this time?
Sold out pretty quick last time, think they would fill Arenan?
Something in between Arenan and Klubben maybe... but when i think about it... its really close and personal at Klubben, and good sound, it was amazingly good there last time.

 

[FRUGiHOYi]

Cool, I'm learning Danish and I actually understood three or four words in this video!

 

[nizzon]

Thats funny, i dont understand a word of danish.

 

[Detric]

og jeg fatter ingenting af jeres svenske bræk

 

[FRUGiHOYi]

Thats funny, i dont understand a word of danish.

kontoret, faktisk

a couple of swedish/danish words he said in the video

 

[Distrusted]

So, did he like, indirectly confirm a upcoming gig in Stockholm after the recording of the new album, or what? If so; "FAN VAD HÄRLIGT!"

 

[nizzon]

It sure sounded like it, and its about time they played for us again.

 

[JaadCe]

Svensk er det falske sprog
