The whole band are such awesome people. I got to hang out with them a couple times and smoked weed with Gary. Jimmy chatted for a while and guestlisted me to one of there gigs. Mike chatted with me for a while as well.
I just discovered them and feel sad there's only a glimpse of someones memories left behind. There's so much going on in their songs, changes of moods, speed, melodies, I love it and I wish Mathias would someday create something new.
Floor anno 2007: "What is the most positive thing about being the singer of After Forever? Well, the fact that I can sing things that are written by myself: lyrics and melodies. It's great to be able to do that. For instance, look at Anette, or even Tarja from Nightwish, she sang what Tuomas wrote: his lines, his words. And I can do my thing, I'm totally myself in this band, and I think that's the most important thing!" Floor anno 2018: "OMG, Tuomas is such a genius, I'm so happy he writes lyrics and vocal lines for me, I don't need no creative input, I don't miss my creative freedom, my own bands and my own music, I feel so accomplished!" For fuck's sake...
tsk tsk, horrible line of questioning. Women, if a man is having a bad day, then asking him to remember a time that was even worse is probably not the best way to go about making him feel any better about his situation.
Mike seems like such a loving person. Worried about everyone else first. Dude has liver problems and he's worried about not playing and it affecting the opening bands
"No one knows how I goes" - one of Tomas Haake's greatest quotes. Double entendre cleverness. Never knew much about this dude beyond the music, saw a video breaking down the math in meshuggah, got curious and am very satisfied. Intelligent, articulate, humble and kind. Amusing mistake @Hayley Leggs Otherwise great interview, much respect your way as well. You remind me of someone I once knew. Stay Golden ☯️
You know you've been indoctrined with the new rules in life due to the pandemic if the first thing you notice in this video is that they sit way too close to one another.. That is so sad, it has to stop. We need to go back to normal rules soon! I truely hope that'sll be possible again soon! T^T That said, a very nice vibe here in the interview :) It was fun to watch :)
