IN FLAMES bassist Peter Iwers has posted the following message on the band's official web site:

"I just got back from [performing at the] Download [festival in England] today and thought I should write a little something. The show on Sunday's [June 11] mainstage was amazing for us. The audience, wow, I'm amazed. We had a really good time and can't wait to come back and play some more for you. Sadly, we only got to play 35 minutes but hopefully if there's a next time that will change.

"I watched GUNS N' ROSES for the first time, even though it didn't impress me as much as I would have hoped, their music will always be great and it was cool to experience it live... Much respect to the guitarists, it must be reallly hard filling the shoes of Slash but they did a good job. The rest of the day I had a really good time, hanging with some friends in some other bands and drinking too many beers as usual.
"Last week was great at Rock Am Ring/Im Park. The shows were awesome and even though we went up at the same time as the mighty METALLICA, we had a really great turnout, and a lot of fun. I had my daughter with me for those two shows and afterwards we went to Greece for a few days rest. There was supposed to be that show there, but AGAIN it got cancelled ? for the third time.... that sucked, but the vacation turned out great so I was OK anyways. I just feel bad for the people that bought tickets..."

IN FLAMES recently shot a video in California for the title track from their latest album, "Come Clarity". The clip was directed by Lex Halaby, who has previously worked with MUDVAYNE, KILLSWITCH ENGAGE and AS I LAY DYING, among others.

you guys are pretty defensive.. He didn't say it was bad.. He said it was a good experience and gave the guitarists props.  Guess he should have said he wants to suck Axl's cock.

 IN FLAMES FUCKING RULES!!!! he said he enjoyed the show and thats good enough for me, Listen to  some old style in flames music and it would make me wonder if these guys thought gnr were cool at all. I love em though, both gnr and I,F.

In Flames who?
