just read this Evergrey interview on Caparison guitars...damn, now i want one! (And they started with Ibanez actually...hmmm)
=======>
- Let's talk about you live performances. You'll be at Metalliance Festival in May…
No no no, I heard this information too but we won't be there unfortunately. Actually, we will be touring in the USA…
- Damn ok, but you'll big at Graspop right?
Yes!
- Do you like to play for big festivals? What's the difference between those kind of events and normal performances?
Both are great you know. In a festival, you play for a lot of people of course and also for people who're not here only for you, it's a good way to catch new fans. With the basic tour, you play for your fans and evidently the feedbacks are really nice in general. So well I like both, and we like to play live anyway so...
- There is something that I would like to know. I don't play the guitar, but I like the instrument and I would like to know how did you end up playing with Caparison Guitars. A lot of Metal bands play with these guitars now and I would like to know how did you get this deal with the Japanese firm?
Well we were endorsed by Ibanez before. Mattias (note of Jeff: Freak Kitchen guitarist and main representative of the firm.) is my friend. So I had a talk with him one day and I said that we wanted more support than we get with Ibanez. Mattias contacted Itaru Kanno, who is the chief of Caparison Guitars, and told him that we were great guitars players and that we needed a new brand of guitars and so… Here we are!!!
- So are you happy with those guitars, is it better now?
Hoo yeah… MUCH BETTER!!! Two hundred time better (laugh). We have everything that we want now. We have our own design from the colours to the microphones, we have five signatures models, that's cool really. It cannot be better and that's good when you're a guitarist.
- Oki one last question Tom. Metal Storm is an international webzine and I know that lot of people want to know if you're planning to tour, especially in the USA?
USA… yes we will tour with In Flames, Nevermore and one other band, if I'm not wrong it will be during May. In France and Europe you'll see us in September after the summer festivals of course. Anyway be prepared for a big tour and a cool show.

yeah I met IA and played his apple horn once.I love its tone and action, well IA's prefer to set up his guitar in high action for some reason, probably to make him easier to play those crazy slap harmonics..over all I love it..but it's kinda expensive for me though.  |
