"The flight to Sweden went very smoothly (apart from one streak of piss air hostess being really snotty with me for using my mobile on the plane - as if I would!!!!) - no delays, no dead people on the railway lines + lots of free whiskey samples on hand at the airport. We were met at the airport by Mick of www.swedmetal.com who was very amiable + efficient. I immediately decided to spend as much time as possible tormenting him and trying to get on his nerves. He didn't seem very easy to wear down though - Mick's a pretty laid back guy + one of the best promoters we have worked with. The walls of Rockland are adorned by pictures + signatures of all the stars that have played there, giving one a sense of something to live up to. The support band - Destiny ( www.destinymetal.com) were really friendly + helpful - much like Thunderbolt were in Norway. I was impressed with their professionalism + their set was very tight. A band to listen out for. It was great to play with the Tony Martin Band again, it hadn't been long since we'd played Norway - but I'd really missed it. The band is like a family of 7 uniquely talented and fascinating people. I thought our set at Rockland was very powerful and energetic. It certainly seemed to please the audience - who were in fine voice + full of enthusiasm."  | |  | | | |
