Oh well, in the front row you usually get pushed by everyone, get really sweaty by the pyro effects Nightwish uses and get angry looks from security guards if you try to take photo's. Both shows were great though, but I must say I prefer Pain in smaller venues. The show in Biebob in Belgium in february 2009 was awesome!

I'd love to see them in a smaller venue; a club or something... I'd pick a club over a hall any day. not that I mind big concerts, but it's more personal in a small place

I've got a question concerning the merchandise...
I have been looking a lot around if I could maybe see a patch of "PAIN" ... but I didn't (once a friend told me that he has seen one on the Wacken Open Air festival of last year where we went to)
Do any patches exist? If not: will they come someday? I would really really love to have a patch of my favourite band...

(Besides W:O:A have I seen you on the European tour also ^^)
and I can't wait until the next CD will be released!

greetings

As far as i know, we haven't done any official yet. I have passed your question on to those who can make a difference anyway :-)

CKey · April 21st, 2010, 07:24 AM

that would be very great!
thanks

CKey · April 22nd, 2010, 12:44 PM

I know that this question is qite early... but: do you think you would give a concert in cologne in case you do an europe headline tour when the album (end 2010/beginning 2011) you mentioned at your homepage is ready?

toasted.mind · April 22nd, 2010, 04:37 PM

that's a very nice question I think ^^ though Bochum would be even better

Michael Bohlin · April 23rd, 2010, 07:42 AM

i'm afraid that's an impossible question to answer.. We barely know what we have done in the past, so to try to predict the future would be stupid :-)

CKey · April 24th, 2010, 11:02 AM

no problem, I was just wondering because with the european cynic campain tour have you been twice in cologne last year..
through the first round at the underground where I have seen you (beginning or mid of February) and in the second round (I thik this was with Anette Olzon) have you been at the 17th of march at the Live Music Hall in Cologne... but I saw got to know the second concert too late so that I couldn't get hold on tickets any more... but if I would have been able to would it have been even better for me than you would guess because the 18th of March is my birthday and I would have taken some friends with me to the concert to have some kind of "different birthday opening" ;-)

I have a question, who is the third moderator, "-KAAMOS-"?

*Mari* · April 29th, 2010, 11:54 AM

I think I can answer to that. He is graphic designer from Finland.

KrgFn · April 29th, 2010, 01:33 PM

Oh, cool

I guess he is the one that designed the site/forum, good job

Michael Bohlin · April 29th, 2010, 03:59 PM

correct

EnaGothic · May 21st, 2010, 08:09 AM

I have a question...Are you guys going to come to Croatia again??? Please! You were fantastic on the gig!

In fact, atleast if you're to believe what Kinetic Kontrol's vocalist on Oct '08 gig at Tavastia, Peter had... some drinks before the gig.

And I think he was bit confused on stage too from time to time. Though that being 1½ years ago, I'm not all that sure anymore.

Michael Bohlin · May 24th, 2010, 08:30 AM

Peter is confused by nature, it doesn't take any alcohol to be like that

I never drink anything before a show, never. I am there to give people what they payed for, and also need to be in control do do a good show. To me, that's just being professional. I know that i cannot perforn well if i am not sober. What i do afterwards is a different story though.

Heh, nothing wrong with that.

That's good. Seen some acts where people aren't that sober on stage. Not only does it make the performance usually worse, it might put crowd (and themselves) in danger.

This one time, at the bandcamp... Erm, I mean, at Nosturi (another club in Helsinki), band called Vanity Beach was warming up for Gothminister. I don't know if the vocalist was drunk or just really messed up, but it wasn't too far that he would've fallen from stage, hit the crowd with micstand, etc... Wasn't too keen of that. Luckily nothing happened.

Liar, liar... Mr Smirnoff Ice.
I usually have a beer or three before a show just to calm down or to get in a good mood. Because I want to deliver my best of course. But if you're hangover, the fine line between being in a good mood and drunk again is very easy to cross. I fucked up a show once (in Poland with TIAMAT, 2005) because of too much... partying. It was my first and last time.

Iph · May 29th, 2010, 09:08 AM

Why haven't you held a concert in Norway since 2005?

Dear Iph!
For a show to be complete you need not only a band but an audience. We don't have that in Norway. Last time we played at John Dee in Oslo i think less than 100 people showed up. It's a pity, but Norway isn't "PAINLAND", yet.

We were in Oslo in 2007 (John Dee) and in Kvinesdal in 2008 (Norway Rock Festival)

cfh · May 31st, 2010, 09:37 AM

A question regarding your Tuska show: Do you guys know what time you are going to hit the stage, and/or are you going to perform on the main stage (radio rock stage)?

EnaGothic · May 31st, 2010, 03:37 PM

Are you guys going to be somewhere near Essen in Germany in November??
