I met this guy in the airport right before they started their first tour after the pandemic. One of the friendliest guys Ive met in the music scene.

[@jordanbottom9921]

Met him back in 2004 on the Sountrack tour. I agree. He even remembered my buddy that also met him later on when he met him a second time on the tour. He ran into Bjorn and Jesper buying toothpaste in Ohio at Kroger and remembered our conversation very well.

[@Varg84]

He's cool. They all are. I've spoken with the band a couple times back in the day ( you could usually find them at the closest bar to the venue before the show ) and all were very friendly.

[@TheSchaff570]

Met him at a meet-and-greet before a show in Portland, Oregon circa 2019. Uber cool.

[@juanselainez9828]

Well-deserved coverage of one of my fav bands ever!

[@bootstrap4545]

This is so awesome, thank you so much! Let's have more Bjorn Videos 🤘🔥

[@christophersanzo1833]

I fucking love this dude. He’s a legend, an absolute master of melodies 🤘🔥🔥💚🤘

[@scottlally4030]

And very handsome

[@Andrew_-nr7zt]

We need more videos like this because it’s cool to other things like this

[@bignothing909]

In flames One of my fave and now I respect them more

[@magnumchaos]

Love how he states that Forgone is out. It's not out yet, can't wait, though.

[@christophersanzo1833]

He must have been thinking about the song, not the album 🤷‍♂️ 😆

[@kadobrown9158]

Hell yeah!!! I love this guy amazing guitarist and laid back as hell !!!🎸🎸

[@te9591]

Wow, this guys very friendly and thoughtful.

[@Dogerocket]

Fkin love in flames . Been a fan 20+ years

[@lm7_gio]

Bjorn if you're reading this (probably not), you either start with Horus Heresy series if you want to go chronologicaly, or if you like the idea of first reading something later in the timeline and then read Horus Heresy to learn the backstory, go for Gaunt's Ghosts series from Dan Abnett.

[@te9591]

That's if he likes the Empire.

[@Vb98765]

the fact that he's a fan of that Handsome album makes so much sense

[@davidfraser6950]

Can we get more nerd outs in comic book store videos please?Really good.

[@AlvinREDDELTA]

im in heaven seeing those comics

[@markghammartist]

glad to hear bjorn mentioned karl kopinski!

[@danielcastellanos772]

SO COOL

[@hectorcontreras5837]

Yes!!

[@sesimie]

Frank Frazetta mention...This man knows good Art! D&D & Hammett mention as well. Time to check out In Flames!

[@markrussell3414]

In Flames fantastic video 🥁🥁🥁🎤🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎵🎵🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@DillonKemble]

Didn't know he had such a wide knowledge of art. Shout out Karl Kopinski

[@te9591]

Kim Jung Gi is like this too. It comes from uploading 3d studies and shapes from years of drawing.

[@markghammartist]

yer man! i loved the fact he mentioned karl, been a huge fan of inflames and karl for years!

[@ozzie4306]

He said “check out our new album forgone it’s out now”. Doesn’t come out until February lol

[@peterhz6]

this guy knows about heroic fantasy

[@youknowme7797]

Although I'm not an anime person I know there's killer shit out there from the late 80s early 90s. If you're like Björn and haven't found good anime I strongly suggest both Wicked City and Demon City Shinuju. Both classic horror stuff.

[@te9591]

Lol, wicked city is f*cked up. May not be the best introduction to some. The four that recommend: Ghost in the Shell, Akira, Ninja Scroll, and Vampire Hunter D. The last one being the template for the Witcher.

[@youknowme7797]

@@te9591 yeah those are all entry level for people who want to like anime, but for people who think it's lame I always suggest hardcore shit, also AD police files is good and the original Devilman is sick.

[@te9591]

@@youknowme7797 lol, did you ever see that trailer by Kawajiri for Satanika?

[@youknowme7797]

@@te9591 never heard of Satanika before but the trailer is saw just now looks sick

@@youknowme7797 that's one of Glenn Danzigs original comic characters, looks like tried to commision Madhouse back in the 90s.

[@JimminyJim]

Fucking Bjorn dude! We’re partying!

[@camhabibi2217]

Pro tip: if you're ever in Stockholm, you MUST visit Science Fiction Bokhandeln.

[@SwevikingLol]

Tack!

[@johnkillink]

hey!! you should read BLAME! if you are a great scifi fan you will love it. Start reading manga. there are EPIC manga scifi stories like Blame!

[@moonpeach4684]

👍🏼

[@TrashVinyl]

I love how the person behind the camera doesn't film what Björn is talking about so you literally have no idea what it is. What's the british tv-show with the doll? xD

[@willbeyer]

I think he was still talking about He-Man and masters of the universe cause he pointed at the shirt right before. It moved really quick.

[@TrashVinyl]

@@willbeyer He-Man is the British TV-show with the doll?

[@youknowme7797]

@@TrashVinyl he's definitely referring the show 'toys that made us' on Netflix. They cover the story of He-man and how they had the action figure before the show idea. He says he got British TV but it's an American show that aired in the UK.

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

@@youknowme7797 yep, stands to reason he was talking about he-man 😂

[@te9591]

@@TrashVinyl yes

[@toxsin2207]

I love Forbidden Planet but the original location was much bigger.

[@houseabovethebay]

LOA played in background...

[@rafalblazej]

5:15 What an album Bjorn is talking about? Someone recognizes?

[@leviathon18]

Handsome - the song is "Needles"

[@rafalblazej]

@@leviathon18 Thank you!

[@Clintontaylor-hd2xp]

what song was playing when he said its one of the best albums?

[@kagarii]

Needles by Handsome

[@alejandrorosales6937]

In flames 🔥 boyn I have been to New York city ✨ that must be a nice comic book store 👌 to look into a lot of different novels and to travel to other city's and countries so be careful with this pendmek don't let this virus get to you focus on the music the energy that you all give to the fans maby i can look 🙌 in to the newest album and take a peak rock on 🤘 metal fan alex keep your country's safe from this pendmek

[@alejandrorosales6937]

Sorry my spelling is a little off today 😅 rock on 🤘 for inflames and other great bands out there

He's the only one left in the band?

[@CunningGoblin]

Naw, he is still in In Flames.

[@jescollo]

@@CunningGoblin he was kidding

[@srnada5748]

🐁

[@undericesinger]

Did he buy the Demon Hunter comic book? Lol

[@markw110]

I'm not sure if this guy is really a fan...nice guy...but more of a "normie" geek...like everyone seems to be these days!

[@markw110]

Which is fine btw! I used to get my ass kicked for loving all this stuff...so the more the merrier!

[@ericsp4078]

He's very normie but its cool that even people who know very little can enjoy "geek" things without hate today.

[@markw110]

@@ericsp4078 . 💯!

[@willbeyer]

He just enjoys what he likes. He’s in a huge touring band so he’s not going to keep up with everything. Ever follow his Instagram? He’s an amazing artist. I’ve met and talked to Bjorn in person. He’s a good dude.
