Lido is the venue today. Never been here before. Coffee was good. Bread, peanut butter and cheese. Yum! Had my first practice session on this tour today. I’ve been having some issues with my fingers in the mornings. They feel…

It’s a festival today. The Metal Hammer Paradise. I played here with Tiamat once, years ago. Woke up at around lunchtime. Walked into the catering and immediately saw some friends. Guys from Dark Tranquillity and Moonspell were there, along with…

Good breakfast. Coffee and pre-made sandwiches. We discussed the setlist for Saturday, which songs to remove since we only have an hour to play. It’s always hard to remove songs from an already existing setlist that you know and are…
