I found an interview with jesper which was done when Colony came out...pretty interesting. http://www.metalupdate.com/interviewflames.html
I read an interview with Anders a couple of days ago. Here's a very interesting extract from it: How ironic...
^ what he said. Maybe Anders should take a look at that interview, hope he will realize that what they're doing today is totally fucking wrong,since Anders said it himself. np: In flames-in flames
...or maybe their music has evolved Well, you're both wrong. He didn't say it would be wrong. What he said was that it would alienate their older fans. Basically, they've changed because they don't give a shit about you and what you think. They're playing music they want to play, and you either like it or you don't. That's how it should always be. To quote Necrobutcher of Mayhem: "If you don't like our stuff, fuck you!" Exactly.
I must agree! I have several other interviews mainly from the years 1999 to 2001, very interesting stuff. I'll upload some of them on my website as soon as I can. By the way, this really cracked me up: Oh, and this is what Anders says to the whining bastards (whilst scratching his balls) who hate the new stuff like myself: 2002-10-31 Gothenburg, Sweden
Jesus christ... the band is huge fans of the Backstreet Boys?! My respect for this band is at a new low.
I like how Jesper Has a variety of taste in music.... I too like alot of underground hip hop..I just can't always listen to metal..Maybe they just wanted to expand and still be heavy.. Despite soundtrack being bleh. It's still fucking heavy. I wonder what the Jesper of 99(colony era) Would think of Come Clarity and ASOP
he would probably think its pretty cool considering the fact that his band is alot more popular now, and they are making alot of money from it, regardless of how different it sounds.
