PAIN Updates Festival Schedule, Guitarist Michael Bohlin Issues Gear Blog
March 27, 2012, 12 years ago
PAIN - featuring HYPOCRISY frontman/founder Peter Tägtgren - have checked in with the following update:
"Pain will NOT play at the festival Ritual Open Air in Chile. Whatever you've heard, it's not true. Pain has never been confirmed for that festival. However, we might have some good news for those of you living in South and Latin America. Stay put for more info..."
In addition, Pain guitarist Michael Bohlin has posted a new gear-oriented blog on his official page. An excerpt is available below
"After being off from the band for a couple of months, going through a surgery, and also been through a tough time with my girlfriend that got a stroke recently, I am now getting back on track and are now preparing myself for Pain 2012 shows. It is only a few weeks left until we kick off this year's first shows, and as the guitar freak I am, I need to go through my weapons of choice this year again...You may have seen several different guitars from my colection on stage with Pain during the years, but I kept coming back to a few favourites all the time (the RR1, the Bond and the Tuck). The one's that got that feeling you know. Almost all my guitars are Jackson Rhoads, and I belive they are the coolest piece of metal gear you can find on this planet. This year I think I have found a new favourite: Jackson have released a new series called the X-Series, so my latest Rhoads are from the new X-Series and I have decided to bring them on the road this year. They have that same great feeling as many other Rhoads I have, and as I have Rhoads made in both America and Japan, these feels almost like any of the others - which is great considering where they are made... I also like the new color 'Transparent Black' which I have never seen on a Rhoads before. Now they only have to make a red one and i have no more guitar-dreams left."
