lol? really? never heard about it. Who is it? And why don't the others have a driving licence?

Haha, yeah, but I think it's the best kept board's secret :D

yeah its the same with In Flames. I heard that just Daniel has a driving license and the other not. strange similiarity

That's a Swedish law, so they can't start street-racing, and street-racing involving members of the same band is prohibited in Swerige :)

40. Mikael Stanne looks like Jesus (or used to, I had a pic of a lunch-box with him)
41. dt has the same management as some other major Swedish bands
42. Niklas has only one tattoo (AFAIK)
43. Martin B. been to Russia touring with Tiamat, while dt's gig was cancelled the last and only time due terrorism threat (there was a major hostage taking incident prior to the date)
44. dt had a very special gig in Grand Canaria recently

An hour ago I had the theory that there is a swedish law that you lose your driving licence when you are a good guitar player (because I already knew that in In Flames only the drummer has a driving licence.) but I can forget about that now. Whatever, this law only applies to er... bands... which's name... starts with an I!

Anyway, is there any short, maybe even informal, word for driving licence? It's such a long word to write, lol.
 
1. dt is probably the best melodic metal band on earth
2. mikeal is jesus' brother or some kind of relative anyway

4. dt are extremely friendly
5. dt has probably the best italian fan site in the world loool :D
