Strange for certain people, but for me the mix with laiho is an exciting combo. I mean, I like the fact Peter doesn't care about what people think of it. He's friend with Laiho, and I imagine the idea came one night when they got drunk at a party together. And this tour is the occasion. He, of course, knows it would have made such a polemic, and he doesn't care, because he's sure of the result. People always think laiho = a stupid old teenager that will steal the show. Of course he certainly counts on the fact it will bring COB fanboys to make more people in the crowd, but that is certainly his 47th priority for that choice. He certainly just wanna tour with him particularly. I'm sure he will have his own place in the band for that tour, adding his own touch, without colouring the overall sound too much.
COB a stupid fanboy band ? I don't agree, I mean, I started to like cob when I started to get it as a "rock n roll" band. Id est : take it easy. The mix of laiho with my favourite band of all time will be strange or even odd, but I like the idea. I thought it was a joke opening the thread, I even laughed. But thinking of it, I now realise it's fun. And too bad for those who think "it's not uber cool to look true DM-ish". As a band, I wouldn't even care. You like a band or not, you don't want it to be DM. Open mind, please
I'm in Europe and I would really love to see once in my life such a combo that may never happen again
