Pain of Salvation thread, v.2 (merged)

[Fuzzboy]

I miss this setup ;_;

That's strange, they don't look Swedish AT ALL.

[veronica]

So who's gonna see them on the tour they're on? I saw them sunday, they did _real_ good. They're even tighter now! They mingled afterwards (when the crowd had started to go home so it wouldn't be total chaos), so that was nice of them! Hallgren commented on how long my sister-in-law's hair had gotten Their bass player blends well in, he looks like a PoS-guy/rock star and knows his (well, their ) stuff. Their guitar tech smacked Hallgren on the bum because he stood in the way when he tried to get off stage and they were all in all in a very good mood even though Daniel was brewing on something and they had only barely managed not to cancel the concert And I bought an epic fangirl-shirt:

(sorry crappy iPhone pic taken at night by myself...)

Tl;dr: They're awesome live.

So...PoS playing in UK in November...

Yeah I saw that. Not sure if I want to go, it's only a support tour and I'm only a moderate fan of Apocalyptica. Hmmmmm, can't decide!

Apocalyptica are really great fun live, they put on an amazing show when I saw them. Granted I don't really like their new album (though only heard through once), I saw them on the tour of my favourite album (the second latest). The thing that impressed me though was that even on the Metallica songs (I don't like metallica or their covers of) I found myself enjoying it. So yeah, take that how you want.

[Lynxo]

Found some pics I thought I might share.

With mr Simon Andersson:








The "classic" line-up: (from around BE I believe)

[Adami]

Oh I god I miss the classic line up. I'd kill for those two to rejoin.

Did his brother even write at all?

Listen to "Sadness." That's his brother. I'm assuming he wrote it.

And I have the album. Unfortunately it's nowhere near as good as that one song on it.

[In The Name Of Rudess]

I'm going to see these guys in two weeks. It's good to hear that they're still as awesome as before with the new members.

BTW: That's a very cool shirt veronica. I may have to get myself one of those. The male variant, that is.

Yeah, I might be able to get in free...not sure yet but fingers crossed

He is listed in the credits for previous albums. And after he left, the bass became lame. One can assume he wrote.

Anyone heard any updates of RS2??

[TheVoxyn]

Pushed back until at least March.

Pretty cool.

Edit: Also, just wondering, have you guys heard all those bonus tracks like Beyond the Mirror, Never Learn to Fly, Thorn Clown, etc.? For me some of them are better than most of the other tracks in the album. Hell, Beyond the Mirror is like the best song in One Hour if included.

[sonatafanica]

Beyond the Mirror is pretty badass.

[Perpetual Change]

Beyond the Mirror is pretty badass.

What is that? Like "Beyond the Pale" played in Wonderland or something?

[sonatafanica]

If you had read the post above mine, you would know it's a bonus track. On One Hour By the Concrete Lake.

[Jakartabassplayer]

I'm going to see them live for the first time tomorrow!!!

Thorn Clown is one of my absolute favorites, maybe one of my favorite 5 songs by Daniel.  It should have replaced Rope Ends or something like that.  I like Never Learn to Fly a lot, too.

Here are my pics from tonight's gig in Bochum/Germany (Beardfish supporting, setlist in the last pic): https://entertainment.webshots.com/album/578796940fTzrya

Very entertaining evening! PoS played for about 95 minutes.

[TheVoxyn]

I'm also seeing them tomorrow, for the 4th time.

I kinda hope they don't play too long (95 minutes seems perfect) because I have to rush to get the last train back. It's either that or head to my parent's house. That would mean that I have to get up really early to head back home though. I have to give a presentation monday morning so I would prefer catching the last train...


Jakarta, if I see you or Mizzl (I would recognize you from the pic thread) I might say hello. Don't count on it though, I'm going with friends who would find it a bit weird, and like I said - we will be in the biggest hurry ever.

[AwakeFromOctavarium]

Morning On Earth. Why does it have to be so epic? It's easily my favorite PoS ballad.

[Jakartabassplayer]

I attended my first Pain Of Salvation concert last night and was blown away.
It started out great with the support band Beardfish who delivered a awesome performance.
I didn't know them, but am hooked now.
after they finished their set the tension in the venue rose because POS was next.

They delivered an outstanding set:

Of Two Beginnings
Ending Theme
People Passing By
Linoleum
Ashes
Diffidentia
Winning a War
No Way
Road Salt
Of Dust
Kingdom of Loss
Falling/ The Perfect Element!!!!

Encore:
Nightmist

After they finished The Perfect Element I asked Johan if I could have the setlist and he gave it!!!

Afterwards the guys mingled and we got the chance to talk to them and stuff.
They signed my setlist!!!!! (Picture following soon)

[Adami]

Few comments.

1. AWESOME SETLIST! Soooo much better than their DVD setlist too.

2. I hate you for getting a pic with daniel.

No, they were at De Pul in Uden.
They're coming to de Boerderij in a month though.
I can't go, But you should check it out.

[wolfking]

That's a very impresesive setlist.

[ClairvoyantCat]

They are playing People Passing By live again?  Awesome!  It's also really awesome that they're playing Kingdom of Loss.  Now they just need to play King of Loss live 



Question:  I'm wondering as to how they performed Of Dust.. Did they change the song for a live setting? 

[shadowfex]

Amazing setlist! POS are so awesome.

[TheVoxyn]

You forgot that they also played Nightmist.

Wish I could have stayed to meet them, but had a stupid train to catch...

[Zydar]

Listening now to A Trace Of Blood. Yummy.
