[ponie]

this was fucking gold

nice to see anna too

Loving her semi-bondage dress, glad to know the kids aren't having a taming influence, since I'll have one or two in a few years

They won with their most accessible album, Blackwater Park. Watershed is lot more difficult to get into. Thus, no victory this time. Artistic values are not valued, it's as simple as that.

Before they got signed on concerts where they were playing in their sorta hometown (where better bands also played later that night) my friends and I used to yell "TAKIDA SUCKS" and give them the finger. It was the lulz of my time.

Oh yeah? Do you mean Ånge or Ö-vik? I'm from Ö-vik

Watershed is hellalot more easy to get to than BWP, I still don't really get The leper affinity, and haven't found the epicness in the title song.
With watershed I only need some more listening, and I got it much later than BWP.

HAHA. Yeah that looked weird....cool though that they were right up front.....would be nice if they had won...but o well......theyve won in the past........i bet opeth...internationally were teh msot famous and respected band in that room....either way......PEAC EOUT

 

[Jackehh]

well, opeth didnt win p3 guld either, guess who won it?

in flames. I bet the jury as well as the swedish people are delighted to have such a mainstream metal band that even fairly "normal" people can listen to.

EDIT: I did not try to generalize here, and apologize if anyone felt offended, im swedish as well for the record.

 

[fsgdjv]

I had higher expectations from p3 guld, seeing as Cult of Luna won the year they released somewhere along the highway.

 

[Jackehh]

me too tbh

All this award means is In Flames are the most emo band on earth. Ahhh I am seeing them in three weeks.
