Interview mit Hans Lundin von Kaipa (Bleeding4metal.de)


Was viele Metal-Heads wahrscheinlich weder wissen (wollen) noch großartig interessiert: Keyboarder/Keyboards beziehungsweise von Keyboardern/Keyboards dominierte Truppen. Sind angeblich nix "Metal" - hm ... Ich teile diese Einstellung/Meinung/Sichtweise NICHT, und so war es mir Ehre, Freude und Privileg zugleich, Hans Lundin zu interviewen. Hä, wer ist Hans Lundin? Nun, Hans Lundin ist genau so ein Keyboarder und KAIPA genau so eine (= seine) Truppe. Ich persönlich halte diesen Komponisten, Tastendrücker und Texter für einen der größten noch lebenden Progger auf diesem Planeten und seine Band für die möglicherweise größte schwedische Art-Folk-Fusion-Melodic-Prog-Truppe! Bei meinen Fragen hab' ich versucht, Mr. KAIPA weder abzuschrecken, noch zu langweilen, noch zu nerven! Und los geht's
