Larry Hagman died.
I read once that Fenriz was only willing to play live if joined by Larry Hagman.
(It could have been in the Grimoire of Exalted Deeds).
He may have said it more than once, and the only things I found on the internet were these:

Fenriz: No. Im pretty miffed since you know that Newman from Seinfeld he turned us down, and Larry Hagman turned us down!

Aaron: Oh, no!

Fenriz: Dude, it would be so cool to have him playing bass, you know.

Aaron: That would!

Fenriz: He is the evil one.

I know you do not like playing live, but if a promoter guaranteed DARKTHRONE at least 100 diehard fans at a venue with a good PA system, stage, etc. would you consider doing it?

"Even if JR from Dallas was doing backing vocals we wouldn't play live man, because Larry Hagman is the evil one!"

By the way, my wife is awesome.
When I mentioned that Hagman died, the first thing she said is -
"I guess that band you like will never play hunh?"

How the fuck she remembers the bizarre anecdotes I tell her over the years is beyond me

Appreciated: Wives Who Appreciate Metal.

Never settle for less.

I don't know if its appreciating metal. My wife knows who Darkthrone is too. But if I put Translvanian Hunger on in the car the complaints will start immediatly. LOL

true. my wife has different thresholds for different genres. She likes Vomitory and Evoken. Okay with thrash. But when the vocals get high like the King or Sanctuary she will mock it, or scratchy and raw like Carcass or Exhumed she'll make comments about the singers sounding like they are throwing up...

I don't bother trying to play my music when my wife's in the car. Ruins the entire listening experience, what with her snarky glares and visible annoyance. I just sit there and absorb the top 40 fucking bullshit and revel in my disgust.

suffering through awful non-metal just makes it better when you finally get your Metal fix in.

if you are wondering how girls do it, they turn it into the real wives of whatever stories.

hahaha my wife will tolerate just about anything, but she draws the line at Burzum and Godflesh.

My wife brings me General Tso or I beat her.

I was playing the new Beherit in the car. One 13 minute track went over fine - the other was stopped after a few minutes and my wife described it as "sounding like a low grade headache"
