Kind of a long post. But might be worth the read.....
Metal head here! In Flames has been my favorite band since I was 17. I'm 38 now.... I know they have gone softer and more mainstream the last few albums. But they really can do no wrong in my ears. And their new album I, The Mask is great Imo.
Somthing very cool they did for me and my son....
I won't a contest about 10 years ago in their fan club and got to play guitar on stage with them during a show in Omaha NE. Got to hang out with them all day from 10am till about 2am. They got me hammered. Bjorn put a beer on a monitor and said this is your bar, anytime I put a beer there it needs to be drank. Lol I'm not a light weight either. But from 10am till 2am I was smashed lol.
Was honestly a dream come true since I've liked them for so long.
I got to play Episode 666 during sound check and Jotun during the show with them. I had access to where ever I wanted to go all day. In their tour bus. Back stage. Was amazing.
Since then I've met them a couple times again and they always remember me. Call me "guitar hero" lol. Since I'm a random dude on the internet. I posted a pic as proof.
AND I just saw them in Atlanta last month and got the VIP pass so I got to meet them again and they all remembered me again. I brought my 13 and 10 year old sons (yes they had hearing protection). They also love In Flames. We were right in the front and during the show they all kept coming over to my 10 year old son and pointing at him. Bjorn reached down and fist bumped after a song. He thought that was the coolest thing. BUT! Before the last song. They called him up on stage and let him be on stage with them! It made his night, he thinks he's famous now. Lol. I can't believe they did that. They are so good to their fans. Here's a video of him on stage with them. Watch at about 1:30, Anders says "fucking scream my friend". My son: "AHHHH"!!!! Haha. I was so happy for him.
Hope the pics came thru right. First time posting pics on this site. Also this was 10 years ago. I'm a tad bigger now lol
But other bands I like are
Soilwork, Disarmonia Mundi, Killswitch engage, Demon Hunter, Trivium, Dark Tranquility, Demotional, Dreamshade and tons of others. But usually stick to Melodic type metal.
