Can someone tell me, why doesn't Borknagar tour? When was the last time they even toured anywhere?

Det Som Engang Var · October 15th, 2007, 03:59 PM

They're busy busy with their other projects and I think some of them are fathers. It's a shame, I want to see my favorite band at least once

Isjungfrun · October 16th, 2007, 07:21 AM

Darn you old men *shakes fist*

I love that a lot of people fail to realise that most metal musicians aren't super stars. I mean talking to a lot of band members about touring, they were saying about how hard it really is. You can't just get up and go tour the Country and play gigs since a lot of them still have day jobs and need to book time off or quit said job for a tour. I think it was the guys from Cathedral were talking about how they all left their jobs to go on a tour as a support act, but the main act suddenly cancelled the entire tour. So the band members were out of their jobs and out of money and unable to fix it. Jeff Walker has a day job, I forgot where but I burst out into laughter and spat my drink out everywhere when he told me what it was as I squeeled "I CAN GET A JOB BETTER THAN THAT".

Blarg.
Being a musician isn't all it's cracked up to be apparently.

I think Borknagar would be more suited to just play a few festivals or something rather than a tour. At least then they can return home the next day and continue with their lives.

Naglfar · October 16th, 2007, 11:38 PM

My brother is a musician. It's pretty rough. Basically everyone has a dayjob, except my bro (who lives on the second floor of my mom's house), and they set up a recording studio at home because they found going to get their stuff recorded was too expensive.

Zephyrus · October 17th, 2007, 07:38 AM

My father is a professional pipe organist, but he would never have been able to raise a family based off of that. He worked a job in high-tech for a few decades, so now he's retired and plays the organ on weekends.

I agree. It would also be cool to know well in advance of tickets going on sale for said festival

.

Det Som Engang Var · October 18th, 2007, 02:59 PM

Yeah I would need time to save up for the expensive flight

GONE Ridin' Hood · October 22nd, 2007, 12:09 AM

yeah Bork will never do a tour, definetly, but I think it's fine to do a couple of concerts every now and then

. I believe the guys will have lots of fun

Anyway yeah, it's not like they're COB superstars ye know?

Let me rephrase that now

.

Now that Bork is releasing a new album "soon," we want concerts! And now there's an actual chance that we may get some.

So please, please tour!

So I can at least see a recent bootleg!

COB are hardly rolling in money. I mean look at Angela from Arch Enemy, she was selling off some of her clothes from tours and stuff because she was having money troubles.

GONE Ridin' Hood · January 17th, 2008, 12:25 PM

^Yeah I saw that from Angela. but I didn't know it was due to monetary problems!

Wow

, it's a bit hard to believe it since Arch Enemy is so popular you know?

Still, I'm sure COB gets a lot of money, they're quite popular in the US you know?

I know I know, so is AE, but still, COB is a lot more popular. To the point that mall-core kids in the US think that AYDY? is COB's 1st album

.

PS: Well it is COB's 1st bad album, of many more to come I'm afraid

. New one is out in April heehehe

.

Kazaum · January 17th, 2008, 12:58 PM

I think Borknagar are getting loads of more fans through Dimmu. I know they're probably not really big fans, but still, they'd make the numbers at concerts!

I remember when no one I met knew Borknagar, but the bigger Dimmu gets the more I see people saying how they've heard/listened/like Borknagar. I still don't know if that's a good thing though....

Isjungfrun · January 17th, 2008, 02:42 PM

Still can't say I've really met many Borknagar fans IRL.
I saw a guy down the pub with a Borknagar t-shirt once, but he said he wasn't a huge fan, just put the t-shirt on because it was his only clean one. *sigh*

Well, I know many Borknadale fans IRL, mostly because I made them fans

No one around here ever really heard of them, but

I always find ways to introduce the band to new ears. It's all part of my dellusion that if their fanbase increases and record sales jump they will do a tour

I do that too.

Sigh, if they tour though I'm sure they won't come here and now that I don't have a job I'll have to miss them.

GONE Ridin' Hood · January 17th, 2008, 09:29 PM

^ Hehe well there's more of chance of them going to Houston than them coming to Costa Rica

(so sad...

).

Yeah actually I don't know many Bork fans either. Actually I don't know any besides my gf who is not really into the band. So this makes me CR's only Bork fan?

Sweeeeet

Det Som Engang Var · January 17th, 2008, 09:30 PM

Dimmu tour announced! Austin Texas April 21st. Hell yeah, finally gonna see Simen.

GONE Ridin' Hood · January 17th, 2008, 09:38 PM

LUCKY YOU

.

Tell him that the guy from Costa Rica says hi will you? Thanks

Well, new label, new cd's... they could end up touring Europe, some festivals and so forth, then if that goes well might even come over here to North America. I really hope they do, maybe I'm just dreaming though.

Where do you read that?! My promoter friend said that there was an unconfirmed tour with Behemoth in April he wasn't going to announce until it was official but I looked today and found nothing, so I'd like to read this source!

Det Som Engang Var · January 17th, 2008, 11:54 PM

Check Dimmu's myspace.

Undefined · January 17th, 2008, 11:57 PM

Thanks, yeh I already saw it all

I'm excited.
