So I wouldn't say Therion will NEVER play the States again, but it would take another miracle.

Yep, the first tour did poorly (except for a few larger markets and PPUSA) because Therion played, like, 30 or 40 cities.
I remember getting a sad text message from PPUSA's Glenn H.: "Right NOW Therion is playing in Boise, Idaho in front of 30 people."
The second tour had fewer cities and did better, but not well enough, prompting Christofer's "never, unless something amazing happens" email to me. Then 4 years later came the PPUSA one-off, and then (not coincidentally) the 70k appearance a few months later, since after all, their work-visas were still good.

I've got my fingers crossed for Carpathian Forest or Carach Angren. Or both!

FYI, at a Jeff Waters guitar clinic, you don't learn anything about playing guitar. You do, however, learn a LOT about how fucking funny he can be when not shredding and about how badly the music industry screwed Annihilator out of the exposure and success he feels they deserved
Very entertaining but not much focus on guitar technique unless you really make a point of emphatically stating a guitar related question that can be answered between lines of amateur Canadian comedy
