In Flames - What's In My Bag?

[@anarchy030]

I worked security for their Austin show back in May and the In Flames guys were the nicest guys you could ever meet and Gatecreeper were cool as well!!

[@sammylindsay9236]

What a sweetheart. Seeing his emotion when talking about his friend and manager was beautiful.

[@huraboma]

100! very cool and legit guy. Loved what was in his bag and music sharing stories back in the day

[@AlexYarmak]

He seems such a down to earth person. Thank you for this episode!

[@titanismmedia]

Never clicked faster on a video of yours. Love In Flames! ❤ And love Anders, you're a hero!

[@VideoMeltdown]

I love that Anders likes Fever Ray. That's a special artist right there.

[@Tom_-]

especially the absolutely divine first album

[@LeMnISc4tA]

For yours truly, In Flames was my gateway to deeper metal. Thank you very much, Mr. Friden. I was also fortunate to see you in Spain in 2015. 'The Jester Race' and 'Whoracle' sit on my shelf, for the moment!

[@kevinpfeiffer8034]

Fantastic episode - highlighting the music that's important to a member and explaining why

And there are actual good death metal bands with younger kids making the music that he should've chosen not that terrible crapkeeper.

[@JJONNYREPP]

@@ian.swift.31614 Comments on ‘In Flames - What's In My Bag?’ 1156am 30.8.24 yeah, but it's all about nostalgia. even the kids, those who make allegedly devastating new muzak, all revert to their hep parents' record collections or their older siblings' collections to make tearful references to whatever it is makes them tick... musically speaking. i have yet to watch the bag skit and have some musician reference napalm death or sore throat or S.O.D.. or D.R.I, even...

[@blackflagtattoo7535]

High praise for Gatecreeper. That must be surreal for them

[@whatimlisteningto3420]

‘Come Clarity’ is still one of my all-time favorite metal albums and is one of the reasons I got into metal in the first place. This episode was a nice surprise!

[@crazybrave1982]

It's the most accessible In Flames album, makes sense a lot of people in their 30s quote it as a gateway album.

[@jamesgwarrior1981]

Wow. I was not expecting this. What a great haul. Anders is an underrated figure in metal indeed.

[@taxi134-y1q]

bloody hell,saw In Flames what seems like a lifetime ago in the UK.Reassuring to know they are still killing it...

[@MartinRiggs123]

I had the exact same thought. Saw them supporting Motörhead when I was about 14, ha

[@ozricness]

Drawing the logos on the cassettes... that made me smile 🙂

[@mcc3372]

yep… the old times…

[@Pixelhead-ex1wp]

Lots of interesting picks and special thanx for picking MORGOTH!

[@jessop-]

The haxan cloak needs to do another album.

[@theoneandonlyAeth]

I had never heard of the band but listening to the album from the video and it's *fucking amazing*.

[@MusicLegendIX]

Saw In Flames live in October. AMAZING BAND!

[@davidgaines9892]

Well, I just added several albums to my watch list. Great episode 🔥

[@bruth6138]

I love that most metal guys present better and are more well spoken than 99% of politicians.

[@mltproductionstudio]

Excellent choice! IN FLAMES WE TRUST

[@simonschaffrath3040]

Metalheads are always the most humble and handsome persons. This is especially true for Anders Friden. What a good guy, with excellent taste. I really love this epsode! Thank you Amoeba & Anders!

[@MentatGhola]

I met Anders once after a show in like 2005. Back when he had dreads. He was genuinely the coolest dude.

[@FromtheSoultotheFretboard]

Perfect example of why you never judge a book book by its cover. Great episode!!

[@bea_3243]

what do you mean by this? most of the metal guys i know look pretty much exactly like he does lmao

[@onursarcicek3340]

I think what was meant was that his taste in music was pretty diverse and nice :)

[@theoneandonlyAeth]

@@bea_3243 Most of the guys in metal bands also have a very broad taste in music.

[@bea_3243]

@@theoneandonlyAeth woah he also likes alternative and hard rock. totally unexpected

[@rupertpupkin5265]

This episode sucked, I’ve watched and commented on every video here for 8 years, I remember this channel when it was tiny, you are loser man if I see you I will fight you

[@readymade83]

I saw In Flames last December with Meshuggah and then in May with Gatecreeper, both times were awesome. He's right about that Gatecreeper album, it's solid.

[@te9591]

How was meshuggahs set? Did they have more luminokaya art?

[@readymade83]

@@te9591 Meshuggah was so good, intense and they had some Luminokaya stuff in the background. It was my second time seeing them and I'd go see them again in a heartbeat.

[@TunnelJumper]

@@te9591 Haha, did they ever! They had several rotations of stage art actually. Look up a full set from that tour!

[@gwts1171]

Haxan Cloak is great!!! Nice picks in general. Though I'm a metal guy I never got into In Flames. Nothing against them or anything, I'm just more of a black or raw death metal guy. Anders came into the record store that I used to work at (many years ago) and he was a really nice guy.

[@Smaldera]

Fantastic recommendations from a fantastic artist. ❤

[@Milk0matic]

Surprised to see Ashen in the collection! But he's right about everything he said. Killer album from a killer band. Great live too!

[@Nils_Martin]

Det är alltid ett nöje att höra Anders prata musik

[@yedgim8172]

Fever Ray Radical Romantics was my favorite album last year 🙌🏼

[@cleitonbelitzki9965]

Morgoth 🤘

[@glassjaw890]

Saw them in '01 with Deftones when I was a teenager. Now I'm an old man! 😮

[@PrimoSchnevi]

who wouldve thought that if 23 years pass you also age accordingly :O

[@aaronm4047]

In Flames did a show with Deftones??

Old man ? Na ur not My dad is an old man and he thinks he is 40😅

[@Metal_Vault]

This is great to see. Anders is awesome.

[@chuckpereda]

The Haxan Cloak is amazing

[@mikestanislaus1107]

Cool dude! Unexpectedly eclectic in his music tastes as well! In Flames have become my favorite Gothenburg metal band recently. Really getting more and more into their discography.

[@BlizzardPwns]

As someone who used to live in Tucson, and as a fan, super stoked to see Gatecreeper as a pick.

[@tehtonym]

God he's so humble and awesome. The bit about gatecreeper was so sweet lol

[@dmillaz]

Hell yeah on the Gatecreeper shoutout! going to their show in Phx tonight, they are so sick

[@jareddewilde9332]

It's easy to love a band like In Flames even more with Anders being a top tier human. I'll be spinning some IF vinyl today!

[@RolandDeschain1]

I'd love to see Rhys Fulber on here.

[@cal3blipa]

That morgoth is just classic! Didn’t know that fever ray was part of the knife that band came out in my pandora playlist. Now I have to dig into fever Ray 😊

[@educostanzo]

So cool to see Anders picking HLB! That thing must sound amazing on vinyl

[@infinidominion]

Fuckin love Morgoth, Pits of Utumno sometimes just surfaces in my mind as well as the rest of their first two albums

[@dinosaursr]

Really heartfelt tribute to his mentor Mr. Otterbach. Class act all the way.

[@DrTabarnak]

It's cool to see the older lads still keep up with what's current and put up other younger acts. That's huge in our small niche world. Max Cavalera is one who also does this, as well as late Trevor Strnad.

[@ar156]

ohh The Haxan Cloak is great, haven't listened to that project in a while, also "Empire" by Queensryche is a great one, one of their best

[@anap3333]

Amazing dude, love him

[@mobafan3713]

I already own Dark Superstition by Gatecreeper on CD! Such an amazing album! One of the best this year and their second best album after Deserted

[@mlrdmn]

Anders !!! Great interview !!! So interesting to hear about the first manager 🙏🏾

[@headbangersballroom662]

No fucking way! Anders!!!! Keep the metal bands coming!!!

[@tjb8158]

Saw them at the Sounds of the Underground festival around the time "Come Clarity" was released. They were absolutely phenomenal live, looking back that line up was insane and everyone killed it. Behemoth, Cannibal Corpse, Black Dahlia Murder, Converge, In Flames, As I Lay Dying....so stacked 😂

[@sndsofscnce]

Anders is so great. In Flames is amazing. 🔥

The new Gatecreeper is incredible.

Perhaps it’s just the videos I’ve happened to see but it’s rare for any metal musicians to listen to anything approaching what they do. Love In Flames but not familiar with the stuff after Come Clarity which scarily came out nearly 20 years ago.
