Opeth

[Flynn]

One of the coolest things about MAYH is how Mikael introduces his new growling style. For the first couple minutes of April Ethereal, he uses a higher-pitched scream, almost like on the first two albums. Then suddenly at 2:09 he emits some of the most bowel-churning vocals of his career. It brings a smile to my face whenever I think about someone hearing that for the first time.

"She faced me in awe..." :eek:



Oh yeah :thumb:

One of my favorite vocal lines on the Hearse is on the song Karma, whe he growls ''The luring eyes, you had never seen'' But he says it like ''The loooring oooys,'' I just love that so much!

[Jude]

MAYH has its moments, maybe not as many as other albums but still...

The main riff of April Ethereal, and the drumbeat on there...intense!
"Eerie circles upon the waters..." that line gives me shivers
DEMON! DEMON OF THE FALL is a good one

Those would be my top three.

haha, fvck yeah!
Makes me grin everytime.

To Route 1: MAYH was kinda the same for me, just give it more listens.
Once you digest the songs completely you will see how they flow and, I believe, after that many memorable moments will begin to grab you.

Yeah, I noticed that, too. The album is a very interesting transition between the old and new. I also think that it's the first time that they were actually making really heavy music.

[Crysiss]

123.

MAYH is just deadly. I just started getting into all the songs on there. Definitely my next opeth purchase though if im lucky, I may get a tattoo

I like the first track a lot where you just hear rain falling. It's peaceful.


In Demon of the fall, I think they could have used the line "Demon of the fall" in a better way than just saying it over and over again.

No way. I think that's really cool. Part of the reason it's such a good encore song, it's just really heavy and energetic. DEMON, DEMON OF THE FALL. \m/

So simple and brutal.

[Jude]

Only problem with DOTF as an encore is the climax ("Demon of the fall" riff) is halway through the song and it kind of winds down after that.

[Crysiss]

Ive never really listened to Demon Of The Fall all too much. Especially music from MAYH, yet Im falling in love with the songs on there.
np. Remember Tomorrow

[The Cynic]

I just downloaded Guitar Pro 5 but it says that I have to have some sort of ID. Does anyone know where I can get one?

There used to be one sorrounding MX, I can't remember where it was, though.

Wait I found it.

ah give me your email and I'll send it to ya.

[Crysiss]

I was about to help the fellow out. If it doesnt work, Ill give you one.

BTW, the RSE engine was a big letdown to me

It's a complex album, it may take some time to get into it, but in the long run...it's well worth it. It's my favorite Opeth album by a long shot.


N.P. April Ethereal

[Darkness]

It's my favorite Opeth album by a long shot.

Next week...

Guys! I love Still Life! My favorite Opeth album by far!

:lol: :p

[Shadows]

I've decided that my love of all Opeth albums has become too complex for me to choose a single favorite album, though I would say Orchid has a very slight edge over others.

[Darkness]

Same with me, except with Still Life... er, Blackwater Park. No wait, Deliverance.. no, no definatly Still Life. :thumb:

[Shadows]

Yeah, maybe it's not Orchid...I have no idea, they're all so good.

[Flynn]

I still like Orchid a lot, don't get me wrong. I used to severly slut that album like it was a watermelon jolly rancher. I've found that I like the way the Hearse was put together. It gives me a feeling no other Opeth album can touch, but that is 3 years of listening to it, in weird places at the right time. That experience, as of now, has a tremendous amount of emotion to go along with the album. Åkerfeldt's display of prowess on the album is extraordinary and no album in any genre, when compared, will even come close to the immense impact that My Arms, Your Hearse had the time it came out, not to mention no album today stands close to the intricacy displayed on the Hearse, in all areas.

[Killtacular]

You crazy kids and your Orchid.

Still Life still wins. Oh, and I actually bought a copy of it. Sure, it's from some guy in Kanadia, but it's soon to me MINE. I expect it to come with maple syrup stains on the cover.

[G_Mac07]

For any Australians who post in here, The Eternal have just been named as the supports for Opeth on their tour down under. I figured a couple of you might be interested in this. :)

[penelope weird hands]

I am unfamiliar with The Eternal.
<- metal noob. :#

Are they Australian?
*can't be fvcked googling*

[G_Mac07]

Yeah, they are from Melbourne. I haven't heard anything by them though. Apparently they are a Goth/Doom band.

[penelope weird hands]

Ah OK.
I'll have to see if anyone I know has heard them/any cd's... I doubt it though, I haven't heard of these guys before.

D'oh..I keep getting "Bandwidth Limit Exceeded" when I go to their official website. I'll try later, see if they have any samples/mp3s.

[Det_Nosnip]

Only problem with DOTF as an encore is the climax ("Demon of the fall" riff) is halway through the song and it kind of winds down after that.

If by "winds down" you mean "gets to one of the best Opeth moments ever," then you'd be correct. :)

The ending part is one of the most emotional things that they've done, IMO.

[Jude]

Well yeah but for a live encore, you want the song to end on a really intense part...ie BWP or Deliverance, that's why I think those are better encores.

[penelope weird hands]

Hmm... I'd like to hear some of Peter Lindgren's own original music.
Not necessarily in Opeth, but yeah..
Akerfeldt pwns but <3 for Lindgren++

[Whale and Wasp]

anyone know if it is possible at all to send fanmail to the band?

[UpperDecker]

In the song Godheads Lament, what the hell is an "undisguised manmade nova"?

[TojesDolan]

In the song Godheads Lament, what the hell is an "undisguised manmade nova"?
It's an interstellar explosion from a star, which I suppose is made by a man. Probably referring to destruction created and bred by men?

[Jude]

There are so many Opeth lyrics that I just don't get/don't make sense...

[TojesDolan]

The metaphors Mikael use are indeed very goood and confusing, but for some way after the y make sense they seem much, much better.

[Stormrider]

There are so many Opeth lyrics that I just don't get/don't make sense...

Same here.

[UpperDecker]

"I laugh under the weeping moon!" WHAT DOES IT MEAN (sarcasm)???. Post some that don't make sense to you and maybe someone else can figure it out.

[Det_Nosnip]

Here's an obvious one: "Searching My Way to Perplexion." One of the best vocal deliveries of all time, but what the **** does it mean?! :lol:

I've been listening to MAYH to death lately...I think I finally "got" it as others have. It really is an amazing album.

[Shadows]

These all seem to make sense to me...

I just looked up perplexion on dictionary.com and its not even a word.

[Toaster]

"The portrait of the jaded dawn who had seen it all before"

Huh? I think a lot of them are semi-meaningful, but have embellishments just to make them sound cooler.

[ok lateralus]

Did anyone else notice that Opeth borrow a lot of lines from other bands that influence them? For example I noticed that the opening line of When, "Red sun rising" is most likely taken from the opening lyric of Black Sabbath's "Warning", which has the same exact line. Also on April Ethereal, "Something passed by and I went into a dream" reminded me a lot of The Beatles' "A Day in the Life", where Paul sings "Someone spoke and I went into a dream." I heard Mikael's a big fan of that song so maybe

[eighty d]

Trying to interperet early Opeth could be difficult. Mikael said himself as he was introducing "Under The Weeping Moon," "This is from our first album. The lyrics are very profound... about nothing."

[Darkness]

You crazy kids and your Orchid.

You should feel honored.

[Shadows]

I just looked up perplexion on dictionary.com and its not even a word.
Yes it is. It comes from the word "preplex" or "perplexing", which basically means "confusion".

[Darkness]

I just got the Breeding Death EP from Bloodbath! This is ripping good stuff! :D

[UpperDecker]

Yes it is. It comes from the word "preplex" or "perplexing", which basically means "confusion".

Ok well why doesn't dictionary.com have it? I mean i believe you but its just odd that its not on the site.

[Cardboard Headgear]

Also on April Ethereal, "Something passed by and I went into a dream" reminded me a lot of The Beatles' "A Day in the Life", where Paul sings "Someone spoke and I went into a dream."
John :p

[Crysiss]

i thought the word perplexion meant some sort of Facial thing....

/checks

[eighty d]

You mean complexion.

[Shadows]

Ok well why doesn't dictionary.com have it? I mean i believe you but its just odd that its not on the site.
That's because you were searching for a specific form of the word. try searching fr just "perplex" and you'll find it.

i thought the word perplexion meant some sort of Facial thing....

/checks
You're thinking of complexion. :)

[Crysiss]

oh heh heh.:)

[ok lateralus]

John :p

Nah, I'm 100 percent sure it's Paul. It's during his part:
Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
made my way downstairs and drank a cup
......
had a smoke and somebody spoke and I went into a dream

[Det_Nosnip]

Yes, yes....I (thought) we all knew what perplexion is...but why is he searching his way for it? And why, in the gleam of her eye, did she know? What?! :confused:

[Flynn]

Dude, you didn't know? You have to buy the Still Life LP (Vinyl) and play it backwards to understand the true meaning of the concept displayed on that album. duh! everyone knows that :p

[Killtacular]

BUT I DON'T HAVE A RECORD PLAYER!!

Now how will I ever hear the Satanic concept?

[Cardboard Headgear]

Nah, I'm 100 percent sure it's Paul. It's during his part:
Woke up, fell out of bed
Dragged a comb across my head
made my way downstairs and drank a cup
......

Ohhh, I just saw 'In' and 'Life' and my brain said "In My Life". If I bothered to pay attention to the lyrics you were talking about I probably would have noticed. Whoops.

[Flynn]

Now how will I ever hear the Satanic concept?


:lol: :lol:

[Shadows]

This thread makes no sense now.

[TojesDolan]

It's just crazy Flynn and his internal jokes.

Anyhow, for the first time ever I listened to "Still Life" as a whole...

What. A. Mother. ****ing. Piece. Of. Masterpiece.

For real.

[Crysiss]

I listen to it almost every day, My only CD i have at the moment:upset:

I left my CD case at my other home up north.

[Flynn]

Here's an obvious one: "Searching My Way to Perplexion." One of the best vocal deliveries of all time, but what the **** does it mean?! :lol:


per·plex (pr-plks)
tr.v. per·plexed, per·plex·ing, per·plex·es

1. To confuse or trouble with uncertainty or doubt.
2. To make confusedly intricate; complicate.

My guess, is he used Perplexion instead of Perplex, or Perplexing to demonstrate the outcome or make the definition of the phrase completed. ''Searching my way to (as one of being intricate) = Perplexion, ahhh ahhh ahhh''

Now, if the line was ''Searching my way to Perplexed, Perplexing, or Perplexes,'' it wouldn't make sense. Perplexion isn't a word, but I've seen it used a few times before in Poetry.


I've been listening to MAYH to death lately...I think I finally "got" it as others have. It really is an amazing album.


Definitely their best work. My Arms, Your Hearse is amazing.

[Stoo]

What's the deal with "The Apostle In Triumph" fading out and then back in at the start? Really odd.

[Deth]

I read that it was a problem with the production. Apparently it was supposed to be part of Requeim but ended up on Apostle. I like it as it is though, it's unique.

[Shadows]

I love the part, but having it as an intro when it should've been an outro is confusing.

[Deth]

I hated it at first, but now I find it quirky and nice.

[ok lateralus]

I love it, beautiful

[Crysiss]

Never heard it, I plan to purchase 3 CDs tomorrrow.

A death CD, Opeth and Novembers Doom :D

[Jude]

Here's a hint, forget the Death and November's Doom and get 3 Opeth CDs :thumb:

[Darkness]

Here's a hint, forget the Death and November's Doom and get 3 Opeth CDs :thumb:
Naaaaaaaah.. Death and Novembers Doom are both excellent bands.

[Shadows]

I would go with one Death and two Opeth albums.

[Vaper]

is there any chance they will play beneath the mire in australia , i just finished listening to it again and i just realized how amazing it is

[Crysiss]

Here's a hint, forget the Death and November's Doom and get 3 Opeth CDs :thumb:

Fun Fact, Only two more Opeth albums to get:thumb:

There should be Setlists floating around on the net. But i can't be bothered to find it.

One more thing, When Mikael is about to announce the next song, dont be a dick and yell it out before he says it. :lol:
Heard some stories.

[penelope weird hands]

^Nice.

I only have Still Life and Ghost Reveries.

Argh, money. ;/

[Crysiss]

I have Still Life, Morningrise,Ghost Reveries, Damnation, Deliverance and Blackwater Park.

Just two more. :)

Oh yea, I was listening to the Moonlapse Vertigo solo and was wondering what the **** was happening lol

Haha well I understand the word, it's just that, as a phrase, it makes no sense. How or why would somebody search for perplexion?




Definitely their best work. My Arms, Your Hearse is amazing.

Madrigal and the Amen Corner have really been doing it for me in particular. The whole lead in into Demon of the Fall is just spectacular.

[MidnightRider]

Haha well I understand the word, it's just that, as a phrase, it makes no sense. How or why would somebody search for perplexion?

I think it means that through his searching, he has found only perplexion.

[Jude]

One more thing, When Mikael is about to announce the next song, dont be a dick and yell it out before he says it. :lol:
Heard some stories.
One time some dude yelled out Deliverance because he knew it was the next song in the set and Mikael said, "No, actually the next song is <insert corny pop song here>" and I think they started to play whatever song it was :lol:

Everyone needs to go to the Opeth ultimatemetal forum and read the thread on the first two pages entitled "Mikael the Comedian." It's amazing.

[Det_Nosnip]

I think it means that through his searching, he has found only perplexion.

That would make sense, I suppose...it still sounds like he's looking to be confused, though. :lol:

[Flynn]

Madrigal and the Amen Corner have really been doing it for me in particular. The whole lead in into Demon of the Fall is just spectacular.


I love how the album ends. Epilogue has to be my favorite intrumental ever. Everything about MAYH is extraordinary though, I really like how Åkerfeldt put the songs together lyrically. Much like you, this album took a long time to grow on me, and to be honest, when I first listened to it, I thought it was Opeth's worst album of all. I was ignorant.

I'm guessing those aren't the order the songs were played it?
And the Damnation one was probably Closure, they usually extend that with a trippy jam session before the final riff, and make the end heavy.

he started to talk **** like
Today i'll be ****ed up, today Peter will be ****ed up, the drummer(he was from another band coz our drummer is sick) is a ****er and Per will **** me today. that was actully funny because of how it sounded.

and after that
We gonna play heavy metal (one finger) death metal (second finger) and **** rock.


WTF is **** rock????

[Shadius]

WTF is **** rock????

You know... Like what the Darkness were imitating? **** rock.

Yeah, I'd probably have an orgasm if they did.

[Det_Nosnip]

There are easier ways of achieving that.

[penelope weird hands]

^ Yes.

Such as listening to The Leper Affinity.

[TojesDolan]

Or you can get the hot chicks with Damnation set and get double orgasm.

[UpperDecker]

I figured out the real lyric to Demon of The Fall. It goes "Silent fart of death!
yea im bored.

I realized today that I'm a major Orchid fanboy.

Yeah Forest of October is a realy good song. Great stuff. I wanted to learn it but got sidetracked with other stuff I guess. I'll try to learn it evetualy though.

Are you sure you weren't watching tapes of Richard Simmons and eating tofu?

[OKComputer]

Hey what's up everyone. Just posting to let you guys know there's an Mikael Akerfeldt interview (it's only audio) available for download on Metalreviews.com.

During the interview Mike seems to hint that the ambiguity of Lopez's situation, especially in light of the band's increasingly demanding schedule, may cause Lopez's current hiatus to become a permanent exit. I hope this is a really elaborate (and late) April Fool's Joke :/.

[JamJar]

Yeah I listened to that. It was an interesting interview. I hope Lopez doesn't leave the bad, he's a terrific drummer. :(

NP: Dredg - Sanzen

I will be seeing Opeth very soon and I want to know ever song I need to know before I see them. I do not want to go and not know a song.

[Sixty Ton Angel]

^ Where are you going to see them?


I really need to get to a gig sometime.
I missed out on the chance to have Porcupine Tree be my first gig a few months ago :mad:

When are Opeth playing in Britain next?
I imagine they'd be a decent band to have my first gig with too ;)

I missed Opeth when they toured the UK due to age restricitions. I'm hoping they will support Tool when I see them but I don't think that's going to happen.

I wouldn't mind seeing them either...

[JamJar]

They're playing London Apollo (I think) on the 13th and 14th of June but the tix might be sold out.

[Sixty Ton Angel]

Ah right, fair enough.
I should really get off my arse and try sort something out as opposed to thinking that they'll suddenly turn up on my doorstep.

I'll check out some Opeth and PT tour dates and see which I might be able to go to :)
Either way I'm sure they'll be a great experience to pop my concert cherry :thumb:

[Thor]

They're playing London Apollo (I think) on the 13th and 14th of June but the tix might be sold out.
Well that's still quite a way's away but I would suggest that you look into getting them ASAP or they definitely will get sold out.

Not me!

Opeth is basically the best band to emerge since Metallica.

Yeah, prepare to be hated by about 99% of MX. :thumb:

Opeth is basically the best band to emerge since Metallica.
Metallica? Why would you insult Opeth that way?

[Thor]

Metallica? Why would you insult Opeth that way?
Yeah, I know you hate them, but I'm too much of a fanboy to not say something like that.

You still have to understand how important Metallica was for the metal world, and I guess I'm trying to give the same compliments to Opeth.

Opeth is basically the best band to emerge since Metallica.

Dude, we both live in The Moor! :D

Opeth >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>x10 to Metallica.

And no, lots of people hate Opeth. I'm starting to see a trend by the more "elite" metal heads, that goes something like this "Opeth sucks! there are better bands!". It's really quite stupid, as I believe they just don't understand Opeth, or are just trying to be unique. I think it's more the later.

It's really quite stupid, as I believe they just don't understand Opeth, or are just trying to be unique. I think it's more the later.
Nice to see that we have another Moor resident. Let's do lunch sometime.:thumb:

Metal elitists really need to shut up, just because a band is gaining popularity doesn't mean that they automatically suck.

[Shadows]

Yeah, I know you hate them, but I'm too much of a fanboy to not say something like that.

You still have to understand how important Metallica was for the metal world, and I guess I'm trying to give the same compliments to Opeth.
I was kidding. :p Where did you get the idea that I hate them? I'm no St. Anger fan, but I love Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets. I don't like them near as much as I did before I got into more extreme stuff though.

[Darkness]

AJFA is where its at. :D

[Thor]

I was kidding. :p Where did you get the idea that I hate them? I'm no St. Anger fan, but I love Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets. I don't like them near as much as I did before I got into more extreme stuff though.
I was just looking at your sputnik ratings of Metallica and I just got the vibe that you didn't think much of them. Never mind then. Yeah, I'm strictly a pre-black album Metallica fan.

They, along with Slipknot (sadly), were the reasons that I got into metal so I can't stop liking them.

Anyways, Opeth still dominates the metal world these days and the only band that can really contest with them would be Children of Bodom.:) ...and Arsis can come too.

[Stormrider]

AJFA is where its at. :D

awsome rythm tone :)

Opeth Raleted: I'm at the verse riff of The Moor. This is pretty hard. I've been practicing it a lot, so its turning out good so far.

It's really quite stupid, as I believe they just don't understand Opeth, or are just trying to be unique. I think it's more the later.

Yeah, that Dargon thread awhile back brought all that to my attention. I agree.. either they already have a preconcieved notion about what kind of music Opeth is (artsy, pseudo-intellectual drivel), or they're just too stubborn and impatient to give them a decent listen.

[Thor]

Opeth riffs have always been difficult for me to do. They're just plain different from normal metal riffs and I've yet to get used to their style of playing.

[Shadows]

I remember going through a "Metallica is not tr00" phase where I gave all of the albums 2.5's or below, but pay no attention to that. Their old stuff is great.

Metallica and Slipknot got me into metal too, so they have a special place in my heart, even if I don't actually listen to them anymore.

I think Opeth has cracked my coveted top 5 all-time favorite bands. :eek:

[Jude]

I think Opeth has cracked my coveted top 5 all-time favorite bands. :eek:
There's no more room on mine but I think they're number 6.

[Stormrider]

Ben, what are the other 4 ?

[Thor]

Oh, Opeth is already sitting strong at #4 on my favorite bands list...and that's quite a feat.

[Toaster]

They're still my #1 favourite band.

[Shadows]

Ben, what are the other 4 ?
Children of Bodom, Arsis, Cradle of Filth, and Shadows Fall.

[Thor]

All of those are excellent picks, especially Bodom and Arsis. Cradle of Filth is still in my top 20 probably, but they sit on the lower part.

...but what about Dissection? :thumb:

[Stormrider]

Children of Bodom, Arsis, Cradle of Filth, and Shadows Fall.

Oh ok. The only band in those 4 I've heard stuff from is Bodom and a song I dont remember from Shadows Fall.

Opeth are in my top 5.

[Thor]

Just because Shadows Fall has been mentioned, I have to say this: their cover of "Welcome to the Machine" owns.

[Shadows]

All of those are excellent picks, especially Bodom and Arsis. Cradle of Filth is still in my top 20 probably, but they sit on the lower part.

...but what about Dissection? :thumb:
Dissection is up there too, probably my favorite black metal band along with Emperor. Unfortunately, their discography isn't as extensive as most bands that have been around that long, so they don't give much to work on.

Plus Maha Kali really blows.

That's pretty true, their first two albums are the only ones that are really worth checking out. But when they hit, they hit really really really damn hard. I mean...Storm of the Light's Bane just happens to be the best black metal album ever.

[TojesDolan]

Dissection is where it's at. I like the instrumentals... very.. hobbitish.

Anyhow, Opeth is in my top favorite bands, why not. I don't have a top 5 though.

[Darkness]

God Emperor slays. I love that band so much. I've also seen a bit of trend with them, where they're reguarded as crap by the "elitists". :rolleyes:

Opeth are number two for me, behind Tool and infront of Nevermore. Anything after that changes monthly.

[Killtacular]

AJFA is where its at. :D
No.

[Kelvin]

What do you guys think that best mellow song opeth made? Mine is probably closure. I just love that song. And when they played it live...wow that was amazing.

[Shadows]

Definitely Hope Leaves.

[Flynn]

Opeth is basically the best band to emerge since Metallica.:


That statement is self-biased. Metallica emerged in the mainstream way more then Opeth did, but I see your point...

[penelope weird hands]

What do you guys think that best mellow song opeth made? Mine is probably closure. I just love that song. And when they played it live...wow that was amazing.

Yeah, Closure is great. I love playing that third riff.
My favs, for the moment, would be Epilogue or Patterns In The Ivy II.

[JamJar]

If you like Emperor, you should try Peccatum. Formed from one of the former members of Emperor and his wife. It's really dark, dark music. It's in a sort of avant garde, prog metal style. Really good stuff.

As for my favourite bands, they vary between Opeth, Tool, Pain Of Salvation and The Mars Volta frequently.

And Hope Leaves is my favourite mellow Opeth song. My god I love it.

[Shadius]

To bid You farewell, Benighted, Face of Melinda, Windowpane, In my time of need, Hope Leaves, To Rid the Disease, Isolation Years... No, I just can't decide which is their best mellow song.

Opeth are in my top 5 favourite bands ever, and I can't see them being budged for a long time. They're up there with Tool, Radiohead and Muse. Maybe with In Flames, TMV and APC worming their way near the top 5.

[Tyr]

Face of Melinda is my favourite mellow song, with Closure or Windowpane second.

Opeth are absolutely in my top 5 list, together with /in no particular order) Tool, Queensrÿche, Nile and Gamma Ray.

[TojesDolan]

It's all in isolation years. That's the most brilliant mellow song.

[JamJar]

It's all in isolation years. That's the most brilliant mellow song.

That song is pretty amazing. They're too good at writing mellow and heavy.

[MidnightRider]

My favorite mellow song would be Windowpane or To Bid You Farewell.

Opeth are definitely in my top 5 favorite bands. The others are Porcupine Tree, Pink Floyd, Tool, and Radiohead.

[Killtacular]

Top V favourite bands:

Pink Floyd
Tool
The Beatles
Godspeed You Black Emperor!
Opeth.

I really love Harvest. It's just so awesomely awesome.

That's probably the best way to describe that song. :thumb:

I love your top 5 as well, but I haven't heard Godspeed before. I should probably check them out because of all the hype they get.

That's a bummer. I've been using it for a few months now and it's been great. It's miles above LimeWire.

Have you noticed that theres always lists going on this thread? Is there one that hasn't been done?:p

[Thor]

Haha, probably not. Lists are fun though and it gives us a structured way to talk about things.

[Crysiss]

Ok ok

Whats the funniest thing Mikael said at a concert?

I thought it was pretty funny when Mikael was making fun of Mendez' horizontal headbanging :lol:

[Thor]

This is going to go on for a long time. Mikael says tons of funny things at shows.

[Crysiss]

??

WTF dude, did you change your name? lol

I seen The Moor as your location and im thinking your some other guy that posts here regularily :lol:

[Toaster]

Ok ok

Haha, I want to hear that! What did he say?

[Darkness]

Me. :D

[BurningSky]

Funniest thing that Mikael ever said at a show...

Audience Member- Hey Mike! How's your wife? How's Melinda?
Mike- Melinda's not my wife, but the girl is fine, and my wife is fine. Wait, that wasn't very metal.
Audience Member- Okay, then how's Satan?
Mike- I'm fine.

[Crysiss]

:lol: oh ok. Damn that was getting quite confusing.


Mikael was calling Mendez a fag because he doesn't headbang correctly. Pretty funny

Guy: Hows Melinda? Hows Your wife?
Mikael: Melinda is not my wife. But my wife is fine
Guy: Ok, so hows Satan?
Mikael: Im fine.

EDIT: Damn too late :upset:

[Darkness]

:lol: That's awesome!

[Thor]

Man, he should go on stage before his band plays and do stand up.

[Crysiss]

That would kick ***, but his humour is very dry lol.

But still, Funny Indeed

[Thor]

Every single funny thing he has ever said I find to be incredibly hilarious, so it would be quite a show.

[Crysiss]

Death Ftw.

Just bought a death album and im in love. Also bought Orchid, Gotta say im lovin In The Mist She Was Standing.

nobody knows of anymore funny things?

[Darkness]

Give it some time, it's been like 10 min. Not everyone is on right now...

[Thor]

Which Death album did you get? I'm currently in love with Symbolic and The Sound of Perserverance.

[Crysiss]

Symbolic. Listening to Crystal Mountain and Misanthropy quite alot. It sucks that I dont know the Song titles yet but Im new to Death:)

I heard Leprosy was a good album also.

[BurningSky]

More hilarity (this time from the New York chronology show)...

Audience Member- *something in Swedish*
Mike- *reply in Swedish*

*Mike walks over to Peter, puts his arm around him, and gives a big goofy smile. The audience member takes a picture.*

Resume show...

[Darkness]

The Death album to get is Human. :D

[Thor]

The Death album to get is Human. :D
It's a solid pick, but you really need Symbolic, Human, and The Sound of Perseverance because they're all so excellent.

The Opeth thread quickly turned into the Death thread. :)

[Darkness]

Yeah, let's shift topics...

[Thor]

We need to get people talking about funny things that Mikael says, but I can't think of any right now.

[Anglachel]

Sadly, I haven't seem them live yet, so I wouldnt know...

I only started listening to the last concert they had here :(

EDIT: Or maybe that was Agalloch..Oh well. I haven't seen them live yet :(

I post on the ND board also. But I just joined like two weeks ago:thumb:

The one that Mike said it was there their last song because he had to take a crap was funny.

He was well funny when I saw them live but my mind is a complete blank. I know I laughed though.

[Crysiss]

I like that video when hes giving growling lessons.

[eighty d]

At the Milwaukee show Mikael taught the crowd how to say "I would like some meatballs today" and "I want to suck my own penis" in Swedish. It was really funny to have the whole crowd following along with him, then having him explain what we'd all just said afterwards.

[Crysiss]

It would've been more funnier had he not told you what it meant :lol:

But Mike is a nice guy, I dont think he would do that.

[Sleepy]

They have a really nice setlist, IMO: Ghost of Perdition, Under a Weeping Moon, and Master's Apprentices were the highlights for me when I saw them.

A few Akerfeldt quotes:

"It's because of you that we came all the way over from Sweden in the first place, so if you want us to come back, we'll come back. If you don't want us to come back, we'll come back."

"So who saw us at the steakhouse the other night?"
*Lots of cheers*
"Who saw us at the steakhouse the other night and just ate steak the entire time?"
*One singular, drunken yell*
"You ****er!"

"It's ridiculous how much time you spend in your life doing this: \m/ \m/. When Opeth was still a two-piece band back in 1990, I remember us trading off taking pictures in front of my old Bathory poster looking like this:

[TojesDolan]

Is it just me or is the tone for "Ending Credits" in the studio version is pathetic compared to the live, "Lamentations" version?

[Flynn]

I thought it was pretty funny when Mikael was making fun of Mendez' horizontal headbanging :lol:

:lol: :lol: what did he actually say?

[eighty d]

Is it just me or is the tone for "Ending Credits" in the studio version is pathetic compared to the live, "Lamentations" version?

Totally. Mike's Les Paul tone is so thick sounding on Lamentations. I love it.

And the way Mike did the "Swedish lessons" was perfect. He did the meatball one first, which got a nice laugh from the crowd for sheer randomness. Then after the crowd repeated back the second phrase he just said what it meant really matter-of-factly.

[Toaster]

"how's Satan??"
"I'm fine."

Haha, me too. Thanks for that link, Jude (or whoever it was). I should probably join that forum.

He uses a Paul Reed Smith.

he plays both when he records....

[ok lateralus]

He uses a Paul Reed Smith.

Yeah, but on Lamentations he switched to the Les Paul just for "Ending Credits"

[Flynn]

Oh yeah! The sunburst... he never records with Les Paul though.

[Shadows]

I think Mike uses PRS primarily while Peter tends to favor the Les Paul. I could be wrong though.

NP: Green Carnation

[eighty d]

Yeah, but on Lamentations he switched to the Les Paul just for "Ending Credits"

And (i think) To Rid The Disease. I know he uses a Les Paul on two songs.

[Flynn]

He may use a Les Paul live on a few songs, but I know he uses PRS in the studio for electric and Martin Acoustics.


Paul Reed Smith Custom 24 - Electric
Paul Reed Smith CE 24 - Electric
Martin 000-16GT - Acoustic
Martin 000-28 - Acoustic
Amalio Burguet 2AM -Classical
Laney amplifiers
Boss GT-6 Guitar Processor

I miss the days when they used Jackson RR's for all of their leads. :(

So, I was thinking earlier today: Mikael has kids, and I bet that discipline is never a problem in the Akerfeldt household. I mean, seriously...can you imagine standing up to that?

Mike: Time for bed, son...go to your room.
Son: Oh, please Papa! Can't I stay just a little longer?
Mike: Son...

Whats hard to believe about it? Does the concept of Still Life make it weird?
I just thought about it. It does make it weird:eek:

Ya know? Just immagine her reading the lyrics for the first time ''Dad named me Melinda? Why!? Does he want my throat slit? I don't have black hair...and what the **** does Perplexion mean?''

That should be the question I should ask Mikael if he ever comes online to the official forums and answer questions.

He used to post there under his real name. Mendez used to post there too.

The guys in Novembers Doom usually post alot in there forums:thumb:

I wish Opeth did that frequently

[Flynn]

haha I know that, I meant which question? The suffix of Preplex?

[Crysiss]

No, why he decided to name his daughter Melinda and If he'll ever show her the Still Life album lyrics :lol:

[Flynn]

Yeah that's ****ed up.

Melinda: ''Dad, why did you name me Melinda?''

Mikael: ''I named you after a fictional character on my Still Life concept album.''

Melinda: ''So what does the second verse of Serenity Painted Death mean?''

Mikael: ''What do you mean 'what does it mean?'

Melinda: ''Well it says here; 'Ripped from my embrace, Melinda reflected in shafts, Red line round her neck, Met the earth in silence.''

Mikael: ''Oh, that's when Melinda dies.''

Melinda: '' ... so when you wrote 'the noose is tied' on White Cluster, what does that mean?''

Mikael: ''..."

Melinda: '' :eek: ''

[Slapping Penguin]

Mabye he just likes the name...........

[the2stranger]

I would be quite honored to be named after a figure in a story my dad came up with :)

[Thor]

I would too, especially if it was an Opeth album.

[Jude]

It would be kind of creepy though, considering what happens to Melinda in the story.

[the2stranger]

Looking at the lyrics for Deliverance makes me feel that way.
I mean, how could you come up with that?
What If Mikael is a real killer :eek:
On the other hand, Cannibal Corpse has got even more bizarre lyrics

No actually it's a very old ritual prepared and the whole staging is pretty serious and interesting.

I'm talking about the play performed in.. eh, forgot the city.

But if you're talking about the drunk ****s that nail themseleves to the crosses and beat themselves with whips and/or sticks. Yeah they are very wrong.

No, hes an African albino:p

Apparently, My Arms, Your Hearse was dedicated to Mr. Lee Barrett. Just wondering if any hard-core fans knew who he is.
