Chocó el micro de gira de Opeth

Igual están todos bien eh, pueden seguir respirando.

Del sitio oficial de la banda:

Opeth's tour bus crashed into another car that made an unexpected U-turn in the middle of the highway as the band (minus Åkerfeldt, Axenrot, Äkesson who had flown home to Sweden) and their crew were on the way to Brussels/Belgium. Nobody in the band or crew got hurt, but apparently the driver of the other car got critically injured. We'll have more information on the matter soon. Opeth will go ahead and play the Brussels date on the 17th as well as the remaining shows of the Progressive nation tour.

Con lo cual sabemos que de la banda, solo Méndez y Per iban adentro.

Mierda, me cagué todo.

Micros y avionetas del orto, traten de no llevarse mas grosos de la música.

el uruguayo seguro se atragantó con el mate (?)

Del Myspace de Mikael:


More non-uplifting news!
I just got a text from Mendez who saying that the driver of the other car (who made the U-turn) that our bus crashed into, sadly passed away from his injuries. On top of that it seems as if it was a deliberate death-stunt from his side as the police had found a suicide-letter in the car-wreck.

This is just getting more odd and scary I tell ya.

I've no idea who he was but I have to say our condoleances goes out to his family and loved ones anyways either though we don't have a name at this point.

I'm kinda lost for words here.

EDIT/UPDATE:
OK, we're back out on tour now, just came into the venue in Brussels. Everyone's alright, but I can see that they're shaken. Apparently it was a clear suicide attempt as the car had not made a U-turn but was actually standing sideways covering one complete lane. As our busdrivers changed lane, the car backed and covered that one instead, and obviously by then, at approximately 80 km/h, it was all over. Our bus crashed into the driver side of the car and the guy, who was 35 years old pretty much died then and there. The paramedics apparently saw signs of life but he died soon after the initial impact. They had found something in his cellphone, some type of message, but we don't know what it said obviously.

I haven't talked to the driver yet but he feels like shit of course. Yet I think he saved lives by going straight on. If the bus would have fallen on its side, who knows what might have happened?

Either way, the show is on for tonight. I have a feeling we might even enjoy playing slightly more than before this all happened. As they say, you don't know what you've got until it's gone.

Thanks for the support + I have forwarded all your nice comments to the guys and crew.

MUY lima

Esto pasa por cantarle al demonio y al oscurantismo (?)

NOOOOOOOOOooo che, todo bien con el suicidio, pero se ve que se quiso llevar un par de flacos consigo...

sí, al uruguayo... y seguro que no iban a querer poner a un argentino en el bajo dps...

se hubiera inmolado en el nombre de alá y listo... pero de la forma en que lo hizo pudo haber fallado...

Que se jodan(?)

Lastima que al uruguayo no le cabio...

Si le llega a pasar algo a Mendez ahora te busco y te cago a trompadas.
