By far the funniest interview I've ever read. And Tina is hot. If you're Tina disregard that last sentence.

 

[chaveta]

that was cool, and this part is fucking sweet!!

"it's just that... I wanna do a beautiful record, with beautiful melodies and all that stuff... and also ice-cold, ripping metal. As well as, bringing in some influences from the Damnation stuff we've done and just do a marvelous concept album."


i can't fucking wait!!

 

[Stormwatch]

What a bizarre but interesting interview! Yeah the next album idea sounds fucking great, and his comment about Nickelback was quite funny

 

[DoReMi]

Rob: What were the concept albums?
Mike: Blackwater Park and Still Life... oh! sorry! No, not Blackwater Park... My Arms, Your Hearse and Still Life.

Hahaha!

 

[brooklynmayhem]

[Onde Erik]

By the way, the cereal Mike mentioned is called "Start".

 

[ucsbdude]

Life is getting weirder and weirder. Dude from Nickelback down with Opeth?? WTF??

 

[insaniTy]

[FrostGiant]

I couldn't read that. I got about half way thru and the font color drove me nuts. I'm going to have to cut and paste to word or something.

 

[FrostGiant]

That was much better.
