I'm guessing it's with Vogg, as he does most of the interviews I know about. That is good to keep in mind. I have a pretty clear understandable voice, so I should be alright.

Meshuggah can't do the interview in Minneapolis due to Time restrictions, which as least is a good excuse.

On a somewhat related note, an awesome story.

When Fleshgod Apocalypse opened for Decapitated last year, a friend of mine who booked the show was hanging out with Fleshgod Apocalypse by their bus. They were having normal, English speaking conversations. while talking, random chicks were coming up to the band asking if they were in a band. All they did was say "....k?" or "I....do not understand. Baseball?"

After the girls got frustrated and left, they went back to having normal English conversations.

"baseball?"

All foreign bands should do that to all losers who stalk them behind venues

The only time I did that was for Dream theater in 2009, and I Met John Petrucci from it. so it was a success. all other bands have been either setup, at the merch tables, and at the bar.

Also to be fair a lot of bands I've met have been at a venue where if you have to take a piss, you'll meet the band on the way to the bathroom.

I didn't mean you specifically... I was talking in general.

It's lower on my wishlist than all venues having a device which severs the hands of everyone who tries to take pictures and video with phones or shitty point-and-shoot cameras

Awesome

I know you didn't mean directly, just pointing it out anyways. It's also why I don't even ask for autographs at shows anymore. I mean it's cool to have, but I get to be on video with these guys, ask them question and get them to do station IDs, and when the bands aren't busy, actually get to hang out for a bit. That's better then any autograph to me.

Like I say : I'd rather have a picture of me and them then get them to sign something.
