Carheart by Virus - 20 weird years

 

It took me too long to discover Ved Buens Ende and discovering Virus took even longer.

Like Snorre Ruch from Thorns, Carl-Michael Eide is one of the best guitarists in the world. Carheart is still my favourite from Virus.

Art questions January 2023

  

Q: Have you ever used drugs?

A: No. As an artist you face the real challenge when you are awake, sober and sane.

The last ten years have been the most creative. I have been on medication the whole time. It's not the highest dosage, but I wouldn't be here without it.

Most people who talk about medication and creativity don't know what they're talking about.

Figuring out the right medication and the right dosage takes time. If you feel like you're being less creative, don't just blame the medication.

If you have a mental illness, DO NOT TURN DOWN ALL MEDICATION AUTOMATICALLY. I cannot stress this enough.
