Opeth

OPETH frontman Mikael Škerfeldt has issued the following update:

"We're somewhere in the middle of the Gigantour tour and it's alright! I miss home, my daughter and wife!

"We aint doing nothing this time around. Not even drinking that much.

"Thanks to Chris for giving me a copy of 'Guitar Hero' for the PS2. Man, we're hooked (I suck!). Mendez is the king! We play on expert level and everyone that we show it to have been hooked! My goal is to get [MEGADETH's Dave] Mustaine on the bus and have him play 'Symphony of Destruction' [by MEGADETH], which is included.

"When we go on stage for our show myself and Mendez have those fucking coloured buttons in our heads for our OWN songs! And you can just forget about listening to music anymore. We go... 'That would be a tough passage on hard level even...'

"Other than that, nothing's really happening. I've gambled a little bit and guess I'm hooked on that now.

"The other bands are very nice. We hang with ARCH ENEMY the most. I've bumped into Mustaine a couple of times and he's been very nice to us! I was up on stage for his birthday in Phoenix which was kinda fun. But his birthday is on the same day as my daughter, so my mind was wondering.

"I wanna go home, people, but the shows will be good, so come see us, will ya??"
