  • MOST EXTREME episode #054
    While at a tour stop in Northern California supporting their most recent album, 2016's 'Feathers & Flesh,' we were able to sit down and interview lead vocalist Johannes Eckerström and drummer John Alfredsson of Swedish death rock band, Avatar. With only a little bit of time on our hands we were curious to hear about some of the band's Most Extreme moments including scary fan costumes and real clown interactions.

      I think Jon is the funniest member of the band. He's ALWAYS messing with people, including us. Watch the Digital Tour Bus episode where Johannes makes Gnocchi, and Jon can be seen in the background wearing a ridiculous duck mask, and barely moving.

      They love to do a "lost in translation" sort of thing. Johannes frequently jokes that the others only speak Swedish then says ridiculous things in English to his bandmates for the amusement of the audience. All of them speak English but they are not as confident in speaking it as Johannes is. John's English is better than the others.

      I think they're having a bit of fun. When being asked about the most extreme clown interaction they've had, the guy speaking Swedish says something like:
      "Yeah, I remember that... uuuh uuh, I don't really know what to say really, but I'll just talk to you for a while and then you can talk to them in English, so like... macaroni and meatballs tastes good. So yeah..."
      Basicly just Swedish gibberish, I think they're messing around a bit :)

    His comment about the parents dressing their kids is spot on. I see many of these parents on social media posting pics and it's fairly obvious when the parent is really the fan but thought that the kid was their ticket to meeting them. To each their own, but I feel that meeting someone through a disingenuous gesture doesn't leave a good lasting impression. But at the same time, you are one of thousands of fans and the likelihood of any kind of lasting impression is lost when the bands is meeting that many people each week. So...
