As someone who watches a bunch of these music interviews I gotta say that you guys did an incredible job here. The pacing was great, the questions were solid, and nobody really interrupted one another everyone had space to speak.
Tommy, I wonder if that is part of why you are so good- your focus is on the music and the experience and perfecting your art, not the fame and being a superstar, it seems.
While the 013 location has its thing and the video is pretty cool (I was also there and it was packed), I just saw them in MainStage Den Bosch last weekend, and I feel the setup there worked a lot better and did them more justice. - There were some fancy cameras floating around there, but I feel like that's for some promo-video for a song at some point. But it would be cool if they also had another live release of that, if not a compilation of multiple locations like bands sometimes do. - But they had a much "wider" and also "deeper" setup with this big platform sticking out into the crowd, basically extending the front barrier and they were right up in your face. - This was that show: ua-cam.com/video/kN6M8IOGpio/v-deo.html - How iconic is that!
A clothing-size for Tommy doesn't exist. - Even my uncle, when I showed him Kamelot in a video, said "Hey, Arnold Schwarzenegger is in the band!", cause all you saw was this silhouette of a V-shaped guy with two canons sticking out the sides. - His arms are the equivalent of Corey Taylor's neck. - Kamelot is probably the only band where the singer helps the crew lift gear. - I bet he uses their guest-singers as weights between shows. - He literally carries the band. - Alright, enough memes, this is getting too heavy-handed.

Thanks for the compliment Chris! We try,... plus Tommy is awesome to talk to :)
It would be awesome to hear the phantom of the opera with Tommy and Elize Ryd...
