What could you say are the biggest diffrencies in touring in Europe and USA/Canada?
In the US, you travel a lot more and the buses are more comfortable. The US is more of a 24/7 nation, isn’t it? So, it’s more geared towards travel, and people being on the move, so you can always find food and you can always find a shower. There’re always people working around the clock there. It’s pretty nice to tour there. It’s pretty easy to tour there, actually, just from a comfort point of view. The fans are great there, too. Metal came back there a few years ago, and they love the Scandinavian stuff, and the more aggressive European metal sound there. They also like their own bands a lot, the biggest bands are American bands. But they also like us and stuff like In Flames, Children of Bodom. Do you have any idea how well has your last album, RISE OF THE TYRANT, been received both in USA and Canada? I don’t know really. I guess the market’s down everywhere for everybody, isn’t it? It’s just the way the industry’s going. It’s kind of going down, isn’t it? I think it’s done really
