Ooh-ooh oo-ee oo-ee, AHHHHH!" Although this is, of course, ming-mong Kryptonite, it's actually pretty good. They used it as an encore for the entire tour. It is extremely entertaining to watch the big, hairy, tattooed metalheads do the John Travolta-dance from ''Film/SaturdayNightFever'' during said song.

Pain of Salvation is a ProgressiveMetal band. The only consistent member is Daniel Gildenlow, the [[FaceOfTheBand lead singer, guitarist, composer and lyricist]]. They are known for their emotional music, use of UncommonTime, [[SongStyleShift switching between heavy and soft passages]] and Daniel's wide vocal range. Unusually in ProgressiveMetal, they concentrate less on displays of instrumental technicality and more on emotion and precise execution.
They have released eight albums so far:
* ''Entropia'' (1997)
* ''One Hour by the Concrete Lake'' (1998)
* ''The Perfect Element: Part I'' (2000)
* ''Remedy Lane'' (2002)
* ''"BE"'' (2004)
* ''Scarsick'' (2007, Part II of ''The Perfect Element'')
* ''Road Salt One'' (2010)
* ''Road Salt Two'' (2011)

* BreakupSong: Basically all of ''Remedy Lane'', and several songs from their other albums.
* CanisLatinicus: The song titles on ''"BE"''.
* ClusterFBomb: "Cribcaged", especially compared to most of their other songs which very rarely contain cursing.
* ConceptAlbum: All of them.
** ''Entropia'' deals with a family torn apart by war.
** ''One Hour by the Concrete Lake'' is about a weapon manufacturer who realizes the ramifications of his job.
** ''The Perfect Element'' is about two mentally disturbed people who fall in love with each other. [[DownerEnding It doesn't end well.]]
** ''Remedy Lane'' is about the reawakening of a childhood romance, loosely based on events in Daniel's life.
** ''"BE"'' is (mainly) about God becoming disappointed with his human creation and leaving them to fend for themselves.
** ''Scarsick'' is a follow-up to ''The Perfect Element'', and concentrates on the male protagonist from the original becoming disillusioned with modern life and celebrity culture.
* CreatorBacklash: Daniel has reluctantly stated that ''One Hour by the Concrete Lake'' is his least favorite Pain of Salvation album.
* CreatorBreakdown: Quite a lot of ''Remedy Lane'' deals with Daniel's past. The most obvious is "A Trace of Blood", which is about Daniel's wife having a miscarriage.
