Video | Backstage interview with Erik Grönwall at Budokan
When Swedish vocalist Erik Grönwall returned to Tokyo to do a headline gig at a sold-out Budokan as lead vocalist for Michael Schenker’s band, Roppongi Rocks’ Stefan Nilsson sat down with Erik just before the gig. Watch the interview in the video below.
The two Swedes, who have done several interviews before when Erik Grönwall has been touring Japan with his former band H.E.A.T, talked about the feeling of headlining Budokan, performing classic UFO songs from the ‘70s with Michael Schenker, the importance of former H.E.A.T band mate Jona Tee, the hard decisions to join and leave Skid Row, the “Power” biography, the upcoming solo album and much more.
This interview was recorded backstage at Budokan in Tokyo, Japan, on 28th January 2026.
