Oh wow, I'm only just seeing this.. What the heck man, I don't really know what to think of this. To me, Danial Gildenlöw the performer has always seemed an arrogant prick, but I kind of assumed that he would be different off-stage. Then the second death of Pain of Salvation happened and I didn't know what to think. Pain of Salvation became the Daniel Gildenlöw band and the arrogance on stage became worse. Maybe Ragnar even amplified that.
I don't really know what to think. Ragnar must be pissed indeed, but part of his claim that he received little payment must surely be his own 'fault', so to speak - read and sign the contract before you lend your services. Him lending his own material for Pain of Salvation material is also his own choice I guess. Well, it was 'fun' while it lasted with Ragnar, even though I didn't think he really fit in the band with his hair metal stage antics.
Welcome back, Johan. That'll be fun as well.
