Day 60 - 2011 wrap-up

2011 is over for Pain. We have done 47 shows in 15 countries.

Thanks to our fantastic crew who makes everything possible. Hede, Kimmo, Macke, Emanuel, Kjellgren, Jens. I guess i am not expressing my gratitude as often as i should, sorry for that!

Thanks to all our drivers, tourmanagers and catering personnel that has been working with us this year. I guess you won't hear "thanks" as often as you deserve either... So - Thanks!

Thanks to Raubtier, Engel, Turmion Kätylöt and Black Light Discipline. I had a blast with you guys! New friends in the Pain family, and more crazy memories to be told :-)

Thanks to Jackson guitars, Sennheiser, Rawk/Xzavier, Dunlop strings and Avid Technology. Because of you i had the best gear and the best possible sound available. Your support makes me feel safe and calm when i know i always have the best (and best looking) gear.

Thanks to my colleagues at work, who keeps up with me and my irregular travels... They never know if i am at the office or on the road from one week to the other. I really appreciate your support.

But most of all, thanks to YOU, all our Painheads that has been supporting us. We are nothing without your support, and and i am always proud of our Painheads around the world - respect.


Now it's time to draw back and lick our wounds. I will continue to work on the 8th Sin album "Cosmogenesis" that i think will come out at some point next year, and in December i will lay down under the knife to do a surgery. After that i will be in bed for a couple of weeks.


I'll write here again next time we are on the road. Lots of you seems to like this blog, that's why i do it.
Keep in touch at the official Pain forum (found through our site www.painworldwide.com). You can also find Pain and 8th Sin pages at Facebook and MySpace.

Day 59 - Stockholm, Sweden

In Sweden we call this day "Fathers Day", and it is when all fathers are being celebrated by their children. It was just a co-incidence that the date for our last show became the same as the annual Fathers Day.

So, to be able to spend time with my children, i drove back to Stockholm right after the show in Örebro. My girlfriend came with our car so we could go right after the show, while the others stayed and came next day with the tourbus as usual. But as i came home after the show, i could sleep at home in my own bed, and wake up fresh. My youngest daughter came around lunchtime and we had some applepie. Then i left to the venue for soundcheck in the afternoon. After soundcheck i met my oldest daughter and went to have dinner with her before the doors open.

Everything this day was delayed a lot. Load in, soundcheck, doors, showtime. The reason was mainly that this show was filmed for an upcoming DVD and the preparation for this is huge. They had to build up the camera cranes and it was loads of extra people working in the film team, i think it was eight cameras.

After all we could enter the stage for the last time this year, about 45 minutes too late. The venue was full and the expectations were high. I personally squeezed out the last drips of energy that i had left, to make this as good as possible, and the payback was a good show but a fucked-up Michael afterwards. I was so exhausted that i almost vomited after the show, but i also had a cold coming up again which didn't really make it easier. When i came home after the show i had fever. I think i got the same as Peter, who had a really bad cold as well. Anyway, the show itself was great and we had a good time, and Andre Skaug was visiting us on a couple of songs. As we were "home" in Stockholm we had hundreds of friends showing up and the whole feeling was just fantastic. Bands, friends, families, journalists, photographers and others - they were all there.

I will wrap up this tour in a separate blog, but for now - thanks to everybody involved!

Day 58 - Örebro, Sweden

Today is Johans birthday! We celebrated him as much as we could in real Pain-manner. He got birthday cake in the tourbus, and we sang to him. We had a nice dinner with him at "Wongs", then we celebrated him on stage in Örebro, with help from Raubtier and crew. The whole audience sang for Johan and we had funny hats and balloons :-)
Overall it was a really good show, and we had loads of fun. Hulkoff from Raubtier joined us on stage at "Shut your mouth" and we joined Raubtier in one song as well. It was all like a big funny party on stage.

Örebro is also the place where Björn (our merchandise guy at the european part of the tour) lives, so he came to see us together with his family. Nice to see him agian!

Tomorrow is the last show on this tour and in 2011. Stockholm!!!

Day 57 - Mariestad, Sweden

!!! 11-11-11 !!!
You shouldn't have too high hopes, that's what i learned today. Normally, eleven is my lucky number, but today i seriously doubt it.

I woke up early as usual, and realised that i got almost no sleep this night as the party in the bus was serious. Normally i sleep like a stone even though people are having a party. Also, the party normally goes on upstairs and i have my bed downstairs, so it's fine. But this night it was all over the top, on both floors and outside the bus. So i was terrible tired all morning and just tried to figure out when i could get my sleep back.

Then we arrived in Mariestad and i walked into the venue to get something to eat. That's when i first saw the stage. I was like "is this a joke?". As long as i have been in this band, i have never played in such small stage ever. The stage-set we have is pretty big, but it can also be transformed to adapt to different stage sizes. But this was something else... I started to think that this day will be interesting.

As we have such fantastic crew, they always tries to get the best out of every situation, and in some crazy way the found a way to use small parts of our stage-set in this venue anyway. We made our soundcheck and it felt like it will be okay after all. Then i got reminded again that this is a Pain tour. When we were about to eat dinner, the whole place went dark. The power system in this building was not really top of the line so to speak.. Mixing consoles started to blink and all electrinics went nuts. Something really bad had happened to the power system and it was clear that our gear was too much for it.

So, terribly hungry, we were sitting in a dark restaurant with candles on the table, waiting for the power to come back so they could start making our food in the kitchen. The mood fell pretty low with most of us at this point. Eventually they managed to fix the power system and everything started to function again, including the kitchen and we got our dinner.

I went out to the bus and went to sleep. I really need to get my sleep! I fell asleep right away and woke up two hours later by my alarm clock. I don't know if this was a good idea, but to wake up 50 minutes before showtime, and feel like a zombie (even more tired than before) is taking it's toll sooner or later.

Showtime. We managed to fit the stage even though we couldn't move at all. After just a few songs, in "The end of the line", Buffeln from Raubtier had a bright idea to come up on stage to give Peter a shot of booze. Not that smart. Due to the small stage size, he pushed me over when he was leaving the stage so i fell backwards towards the drums, and managed to get hold of a moving head right before i hit the floor. After the feeling i got through this whole day, i got totally pissed off when this happened and started to yell at him. This was not intentional and he was very sorry about this, and i had to apologize afterwards. The whole situation just made me so angry, but not really at him. Poor Buffeln :-(

Next stop is Örebro, and also Johans bithday!



Our backline tech, Emanuel. Faceless.

Day 56 - Gothenburg, Sweden

We arrived in a very sunny and nice Gothenburg around lunchtime, and the first person i met was Patrik Douglas. Patrik was touring with us (actually with Engel) on the European part of the tour, and it was very nice to meet him again! Just like yesterday we had many friends visiting us at the show. All our friends in Engel came to pay us a visit, as well as Peter Iwers from In Flames, the great guys from Jackson Guitars, Baskim from Meta 4 Music and many more. The Painhead Sean from France was also at the show, i wonder how many shows he has seen now? Also, do you remember when i wrote about this Italian Painhead that was at every Italian show and then also in Barcelona? She was at the show as well... I am stunned...

Anyway, the show was great, and we got many comments afterwards about the fantastic sound! Especially from people who has seen many shows in this venue that said that "normally it sounds like shit here, but tonight it was fantastic, and that guitar sound!". Things like this is very inspiring to hear, and i am bound to say that the reason is Kimmo Ahola, Venue SC48 and Eleven Rack. It's a winning concept. Period.

After the show, Peter Iwers brought us all to his own bar/restaurant that he opened up this summer. It is called 2112 and is a really nice placei must say! We tried the In Flames whisky and some other good stuff. I promised Peter and myself that i will visit this place again and try out the menu - it looks really promising!

Tomorrow we will be in Mariestad, and it's 11-11-11! My lucky number is 11, so this will be interesting!
:-)



This is the first thing i saw in the bus when i woke up this morning...


Beautiful day in Gothenburg

Day 55 - Lund, Sweden

Back in the tourbus again. Back in black. We left Stockholm late last night together with Raubtier and our whole crew. David didn't go with us as he was busy and arrived today with train to Lund instead. Same with Johan, who doesn't even live in Stockholm, so he also joined us in Lund. Our crazy French photographer Denis Goria also joined in Lund, as he will do some documentary for some possible future stuff. We drove all night and arrived early morning in Lund. First we picked up all our gear that had been in a warehouse after the european tour, and then we continued to the venue. We realised that some very important gear was left in Germany in our other tourbus, so our German tourmanager Marcus Müller had to pick up the gear and drive all the 700km to Lund and leave it before our soundcheck. Sweet. Now we don't have to remind ourselves that this is a Pain tour.

It's fun to be back with Raubtier again, and with Johan. I have missed him a lot. The crazy Raubtier guys went to a store in Lund and bought really expensive radio-controlled mini-helicopters. They went out on the backside of the venue, started them up, flew about 2 minutes, and then crashed them all completely. That was very expensive 2 minutes of fun... Jeez

I like to play in Sweden, among all our friends. Our guestlist on every show in Sweden is completely packed. This night we had friends from Xzavier/Rawk and Avid, among many others. The show was good and it was packed in "mejeriet"! Lots of energy, and after a couple of songs it felt like last show was yesterday.

Tomorrow we will end up in Gothenburg. The home of great metal, and we have loads of friends there. I am really looking forward to see them all!

Day 54 - Leaving Stockholm again

Enough rest now. When i am writing this i am about to pack my bag and get ready to leave my home and go to the central station here in Stockholm, where the tourbus will pick us up and drive to Lund. Tomorrow we kick off the first show of the last part of the 2011 tour. We have 5 shows to do, and they are all here in Sweden. Raubtier is back as support again, and Johan is back on stage. It feels really good to end the tour in Sweden for once, i don't think it ever happened before. And to be able to have the grand finale in Stockholm is even better! After that show i can just easily jump in my car and go home, which will take about 10 minutes, then we are done with 2011 and have done 47 shows by then.

See 'ya tomorrow in Lund!



Here we go again

Day 46 - Spain/Sweden, end of part two

THANK YOU ALL PAINHEADS OF Germany, France, Spain, Czech Republic, Austria, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium, we love you all! It has been a hell of a tour, with loads of crazy stuff going on (as always…), and many new great experiences. I have seen many new places and met many new friends.

One part of me feels a bit sad that it’s over, but the biggest parts of me just wanna go home. It has been a very long tour and I miss everything at home. My children, my girlfriend, my friends, my colleagues, Swedish food, my apartment, my bed, my car, proper sleep, proper breakfast, Stockholm… and the list can go on and on… Touring wears you down a bit, and you need time to recover afterwards, but it doesn’t take long until you miss being on the road again, it is so strange. I guess it’s the adrenaline and energy that being on stage gives you, and even though it might be 22 tough hours every day, it’s the last 2 hours on stage that really matters and makes up for the rest. Not to mention the guys I am touring with! We have such good atmosphere in this gang, and everybody is always nice and happy, with loads of laughs and respect for each other. Being 16 people in a nightliner tourbus for four weeks really puts a high demand of respect to be able to cope with the situation. That’s exactly what this bunch of guys did.

Emanuel, our backline tech who was touring with us already back in 2007, but as the drummer of Zonaria. Great guy, with the sense for details, but with a terrible underwear account :-)

Macke, our guitar tech who’s always happy and will always meet you with a smile on his face, no matter what. He makes sure my guitars are clean and perfectly set up every night, with new strings when needed. Always new sets of picks on my mic stand. I have gotten very spoiled having him around!

Kimmo, our sound engineer, is doing both FOH and monitor sound every night from his Venue SC48 with brilliant result. I’d say it’s a privilege for us to work with such talented man! I have seen so many shows when he’s been doing Nightwish, and as someone wrote in our Pain Facebook lately: “it sounds like a CD!” But most of all, Kimmo is such a funny Finnish guy!

Hede, probably the best light and stage designer that you can find in Sweden! Hede will do wonders with small resources, he will make anything look big and professional, and he will make the big picture of a concert a much more enjoyable experience.

Björn, our merchandise guy, has been one of my best friends for over 15 years. If you ask me, he is the most positive and happy man on this planet. Honestly nice to the bone. Nothing is impossible. Nothing! Having him on this tour was just a big happiness-injection! Together with Patrik (Engel’s merch and backline guy), they were a great team together.

Engel, a great band with such a great spirit! Professional guys with the right attitude. It has been very nice to get to know these guys and I really hope we can work with them again. If you haven’t checked them out yet, do so! When we will do our show in Gothenburg we will meet them all again as they all live there - looking forward to that!

Turmion Kätilöt, our crazy friends from Finland, really gave us even more laughs than we are used to. It was impossible to do anything else than laugh when they were around. This band is more dedicated to what they do than most other bands i know about.

Pain, no need for any further explanations about my bandmates…


From all of me to all of you, I love you all!




Pain, Engel, Turmion Kätilöt and all crew. A big happy family :-)

Day 45 - Madrid, Spain

It's the last day of the european part of the tour, and you just want everything to be smooth and easy so you can go home with a smile on your face. Now let me remind you one more time - this is a Pain tour...

So, where shall i start? Hmm.. Woke up in the morning and we were just about to enter Madrid. Clear blue sky and it felt like this is gonna be a good last day of the european tour. A bit over 20 degrees and i was in a very good mood. We arrived at the venue and immediately realized that it is impossible to park our tourbus with trailer outside. Hoooorayyy. What to do now? We drove through the whole city to a parking garage for buses and trucks. We parked there and called the promotor to give him the options, transfer all gear manually (crossloading), or cancel the show. Several hours passed by while he tried to fix the problem, so we went out in the city of Madrid to have breakfast.

After a couple of hours, a tow truck came to the garage, to pick up our 3 ton trailer. The rest of the stuff had to go in cars and all 16 people as well (back and forth a couple of times). The bus had to stay in this garage for the rest of the day. At this point, the feeling i had in the beginning of the day was completely gone. At 6pm we hadn't even started our soundcheck yet, and i just reminded myself "nothing comes easy". Seems like we just need to squeeze the last strength out of everybody on the last day, to make sure we all come home again like total wrecks. These last three shows in Spain hasn't really been easy at all, for any of us. There's no need to go into details, but a quick sum-up is that it hasn't been a walk in the park.

Now, don't get me wrong, the Painheads in Span has been great, and there's always something special with the last show. You have high expectations, but you're also happy to go home. Suddenly you gain new strength and energy just because you know it's the last one and you don't need to save up until tomorrow. And, as always when it's the last show, the funny pranks between crew and bands are more a rule than surprise... So even this time. We pranked Engel by coming up on stage and teared down the drumkit, piece by piece. Also, David came up on one song wearing only a towel, hanging laundry.. Then of course, what you give is what you get. When we played "Have a drink on me" Engel came up on stage, drowning us in balloons, funny hats and other party tricks.. Then it was the last prank, made by the crew. After our last song we used to play a song in the speakers when we say goodbye to the audience, and of course they had changed this. Instead of "My way" that we used to have, it was "Stayin alive" at the same time as our screens had disco movies... Really funny, hehe.. The audience also screamed too much of a song we haven't played since 2009 (On and On), so we just had to do it, not planned at all! Thank you all Painheads of Madrid.

Next stop is the airport of Madrid, to take our bags from the tourbus and fly back home to Sweden. I'll wrap up this part of the tourblog when i get home tomorrow.

Day 44 - Murcia, Spain

Woke up and stepped out of the bus, immediately got struck by the heat and moist familiar to Spain. For me as a Swede, this is a hot summer day. For Spanish people, this is probably cold J

Me and David took a long walk in Murcia, enjoying the 25 degrees in the shadow, just wearing t-shirt. We walked along the long roads covered by palm trees, just enjoying the environment. I mean, in just a couple of days we will be back in the autumn of a grey, cold, windy and rainy Stockholm again. So this is something like, seize the moment.

On our way back to the bus/venue we found a big shopping mall where we spent some time. A few surprises struck us as Swedes, just because we are not used to it. Like the enormous wall of dry meat (nowhere to be seen in Sweden) or puppies in cages in the pet store (you never see that in Sweden either).

The show was okay, even though the stage was way too small and lots of things didn’t work out as planned. To make things even worse, some stupid people had painted graffiti on our tourbus after the show, thank you… ***

Next stop is Madrid, which is also the last stop on the European part of this tour.

Day 43 - Barcelona, Spain

Bad luck. I was actually looking forward to Barcelona, as everytime i have been there it has been fantastic weather. This morning we arrived in Barcelona and it was raining like hell. Too bad. Okay, i got all the palmtrees and stuff but no heat and only rain.
Next bad luck, when we arrived and were about to park outside the venue (at the designated area for tourbus) it was a car parked there, exactly in our way. Of course. So our driver called the police who eventually came to remove the car so we could park. Nice :-)
Third bad luck, it turned out that the venue didn't have enough buspower for us, and also no breakfast. So we left the bus and took a walk to have something to eat. Anyone who knows me also knows that i am not functional without breakfast! :-)

Outside the venue i found an Italian Pain-fan, who visited all three shows in Italy, and now she was here as well, all alone. Sitting on the ground, in the rain, under an umbrella, 6 hours before our show. Respect. It hurts to see things like this so we let her inside the venue instead.

There's one really good thing about Salamandra - they have Venue Profile mixing consoles. As we have Venue SC48 on this tour (same system), Kimmo didn't even bring the desk from the trailer at this show. He only brought his USB stick with the show file, loaded the file into the current Venue Profile, and was ready to go in a few minutes. Great!
This is the same venue as we had our final show on our headline tour in 2009 with Brother Firetribe. I have very good and funny memories from that show so the vibes from this place had high expectations. This time was no exception and we had a really good time on stage!



A car was in our way...


...so our driver called the Police and had it removed :-)

Day 42 - Toulouse, France

Didn't sleep that well tonight. Woke up several times by the sound of someone coughing and puking on the floor, right next to my bunk. Then woke up by the sound of other people yelling "what the f**k is going on!" and then by the sound of puking over and over again. We have a journalist travelling with us doing a tour report during the French part of the tour, and it seems like he has no clue how to handle alcohol and certainly not how to behave in a tourbus. He had puked in the whole bus, throughout the entire corridor! This is our home! I'm wanna kick his ass!

Whats wrong with journalists and alcohol anyway? Same thing happened a couple of weeks back when we had a guy from Metal Hammer travelling with us for a few days - he got so drunk he had no idea where he was, got war paint all over his face, and i doubt he has anything to write about as he has no memory at all from that trip... No more journalists in our tourbus!

Anyway, Denis is back with us again (the crazy French Photographer) and today he had another of his crazy photosession-ideas.. He came to the venue and told us to bring our guitars and come out on the backside. So we did. There he had an old Jeep from WW2, weapons, clothes, helmets, everything that should turn us all into some soldier-maniacs. We had a really good time with lots of laughs (and also anyone passing by..), but i have not seen the pictures yet. I am sure it will turn out totally mad.

Le Phare Club is a really nice venue, i like it a lot. New, fresh, and with lots of space. The show went really great, thank you France, hope to see 'ya soon again!

Now we leave for Spain. Three shows to do there before we are heading back home again.

Day 41 - Lyon, France

Totally crazy show! Crazy French Painheads! Loud! Wild! Hot!
We had to come back and do an encore-encore again - wow!
And on top of all this, we threw Andre out in the audience so he could crowdsurf all the way to the mixing desk and back again, hahaha...
Thank you Lyon, we love you all.

France, now you have one more chance, Toulouse will be the last French show this year.

Day 40 - Paris, France

Woke up early in Denis livingroom. Nice and sunny day, we left by car to the venue Divan Du Monde around lunchtime (and once again experienced some French traffic-chaos on our way there). I came in and realised this place was way too small for the French Painheads! I know it's sold out, but anyway, next time i hope we will end up in a bigger place than this. Our crew arrived shortly after me and Denis, and did their best as usual and managed to squeeze in most parts of our stage-set on this small stage. But it wasn't much room left for us :-)

After a couple of hours during the day I felt pain creeping up my upper left back, near my neck/shoulder. I have no idea what this came from, if it’s too much headbanging, if I slept in a weird position on Denis couch, or if it’s just a knot in the muscle system. Anyhow, it hurts like hell when I turn my head backwards to the left, and I feel a bit stiff. Andre helped me with some massage and I also used loads of Tiger Balm before the show to ease the pain. Eventually it will go away.

The show was totally crazy and overall fantastic. A sold out Divan du Monde, packed with crazy and loud French Painheads, is just simply awesome. It seems like we can always count on France! When we played “Dirty woman”, one woman in the audience jumped up on her friends shoulders, pulled down her blouse, and showed her t**s. What a crazy evening in Paris. I met with my friends Anders and Ulrika backstage afterwards and also the Pain contest winners, as well as our friend “Sean The Painhead”.

Outside the venue I met a bunch of crazy Painheads that had been driving all the way from London to see our show (as UK was not part of the tour this time), and we got the coolest drawing of Pain that I’ve ever seen! Thanks guys, this one made me proud over our fans!

Two more French shows to do, next one is Lyon. I hope my pain will go away soon.

Day 39 - Paris, France

We arrived in Paris early this morning, and parked the bus at a camping/caravan place. Today is no show, so we need to park the bus somewhere. Most people probably went away in different directions and endeavours in Paris, but i was picked up by my friend Denis Goria who drove me to his apartment nearby. There i stayed for the whole day, working, with the exception when we went for lunch in a nice english pub.

In the evening we drove downtown and i could experience the horrible traffic in Paris.. Then we met David and Emanuel at the Thai restaurant "Asia". Fantastic food and really cool interior!

Then back to Denis place again, where i am spending the night. Tomorrow it's time to do the sold out show here in Paris. I am a little bit worried when i heard the stage might be too small for our big set-up, but let's see tomorrow.
Tomorrow we will also have visits from friends, journalists, and winners in the Pain contest. Also, my friend Anders Olsson from Sennheiser in Stockholm will show up. Nice to meet a friend who's almost my neighbour in Stockholm, to show up in Paris. Small world :-)
