Funny story about opeth's bus driver

Prezatch

As reported on Blabbermouth our busdriver on the last North American tour was arrested in Tampa/S.t Petersburg, FL for "unlawful activity with a minor". Basically we're appalled by the fact that we'd employed this bastard and even more disgusted by his deeds and obviously we will be much more detailed in our background check for future employments. The driver introduced himself only as "Rod" and seemed like a nice guy, even though for us he was just another driver, and a bad one as well! He said he owned a trailer company and that he was a drummer, playing with Ted Nugent and several other bands in the 70´s. We got suspicious that he couldn't get into Canada (we had another driver there) due to some previous drug "misdemeanors". Myself and Peter met him and the girl in the elevator of the hotel where he introduced her as his niece. She seemed distant, asking us if we smoked pot. "Rod" told us he was driving her to Los Angeles. After the gig, he never returned to the bus and then we got the news that he'd been arrested. Luckily for us one of Nevermore's crew was able to drive us back to the hotel. The next day the FBI stopped our tour manager outside the bus with a warrant to search the bus for "Rod's" laptop and camera. We feel genuinely happy that he is caught and behind bars where we hope he will stay for a long time.

It's not in the slightest bit funny(only thing that JoeyD could mean is that it's funny that opeth had no idea though even then it's streching it a bit) The guy is just sick.

Admittedly, I didn't read into detail on the thing at all until i read those other Roadrunner links. I just thought the image of two metalheads, some guy called Rod and a stoned girl standing in an elevator together was a bit pulp-fiction esque. Opeth's site makes the guy out to be less serious than he really is.

The fact that he had a laptop full of child porn, video taped the girl, raped her twice and probably raped another "seven to eight females", is not what I expected from the line "unlawful activity with a minor"

There's some sick ****s out there alright, all that ca be said on the matter really is at least he's behind bars nad hopefully will never ever get out again.

B*st*rd. It's a shame Opeth didn't ask him more question when they hired him

Doubt they personally hired him, probably their label or tour manager.

Not many companies ask the all important question "So do you fiddle childrren?"
