The POODLES - HardRockHideout.com Interviews Pontus Egberg from The POODLES

A brief excerpt of the interview is below: HRH:  This is the first album with Henrik Bergqvist and his playing is amazing. What was it like going into the studio with a new guitarist? Pontus: It’s always a bit nerve wrecking, of course. We’d done two albums with our former guitar player and we weren’t sure what thing were going to sound like with Henrik but as you say yourself, his playing is simply amazing, he did a really good job. We weren’t that worried though, I must say, we had done quite a few live shows with Henrik and he had already blended in to the band in a fantastic way so we were pretty sure it was going to turn out great. HRH:  Was the band surprised when Pontus Norgren announced he was leaving the band to join Hammerfall? Pontus: Yeah, we were all taken a bit by surprise I guess but now, a little more than a year later, when Henrik has found his place in the band we’re all really happy. Henrik fills the spot of guitar player in The Poodles in the best possible way and I talk regularly to Pontus and it seems like he’s really happy in his new band.
