Someone do a bio on Akerfeldt for the freakin' poll! Everyone says how much they like him and how cool he is, but they can't elaborate a little for the sake of a measly competition? C'mon please!

I usually just keep one cd in my car at a time. I rarely drive any more due to my lack of money and my obsession with buying cds.

Quite the deadly combination, I'd say. :-/

Anyways, my truck is getting worked on right now. It needs a new muffler, it's needs to be timed, it needs some valvework, and I think there's a mouse nest in my air conditioning blower.

Yeah, it needed to be fixed.

Ian- No-one actually likes Opeth or Akerfeldt. It's all a sham. It's all been a sham to make you angry. Opeth doesn't even exist, man! You've been PUNK'D!

Ask in the Opeth thread dude.

There has to at least 29385234 in there that would write a bio in like 2 minutes.

OK:

Mikael Akerfeldt (put the A with the O over it later son!) was a member of the band Eruption with his good friend Anders Nordin, Nordin wanted him to sub for Opet's then bassist Johan, because he was an alchoholic, and so Mikael joined, the other members got pissed and quit. So he took over on vocals. On the first few albums Akerfeldt had a noticably raw talent, though his vocals weren't the most controlled, they just sounded right, plus his accent made his clean vocals sound just... grand. With the third Opeth release [I]My Arms Your Hearse[/I], Mikael took his rhaspy higher-ranged growl to a gutteral the gutteral roar he is known for today. With each release Akerfeldt's voice has become more controlled, and his grasp of english has truly increased.

Hay guys.

I just had the most fantastic blues ensemble rehearsal. Here's the story: our group has been without a drummer forever, so it's currently divided between our teacher (who's a guitar player) and our pianist to do it. But today, we're having rehearsal and it's going pretty good, and I see this dude hanging out in the hallway. I think he must be looking for someone, so I ask him if I can help him. He says he's just wanting to watch. Then, as we were arguing over who was gonna play drums on the next song, he says he's a drummer and offers. We say "sure, get on the set," and we're a little apprehensive because he's never played for us before, and so he might suck. So we start the first song and he's AMAZING! He gets the whole band amped and into performing, it literally got hot in the room because we were feeling the music so powerfully. So his name is Jerome and he works in our school's dance department, where he does percussion and music for performances. And now he might play with us! I'm psyched: now everybody in our ensemble is amazing! We're gonna slay the audience when we play.

In other news: Jom has repped me today. This is surely the first sign of the apocolypse, so please discuss how you will prepare for eternal judgement and possibly damnation before God, for the end is nigh.

(Thanks Jim. :) )

Omg Apoclipss Isnt Goud

Lucas- Sounds like you guys will have a blast if the drummer works out for you. Did he just sit down and improv to what you guys were playing, or what?

Not good about the world ending and stuff. I'm going to pray that the message wasn't in size 7 yellow font. If it was, we're all dead for sure. :upset:

I have a zit forming on my eyebrow. It's extremely annoying because I have an extreme urge to pop it. :evil:

[QUOTE=I Am Vikingcore]OK:[large paragraph][/QUOTE]
Damn you!!
I submit mine as well (it's in the Opeth thread, too):
Mikael Åkerfeldt was born on April 17, 1974, in Stockholm, Sweden. He is currently famously known as the lead vocalist and guitarist of Opeth. Mikael was the vocalist for Eruption, a death metal band which he formed in 1988. After Eruption died in 1990, He founded Opeth as a bassist, together with David Isberg on vocals. When David left Opeth, Mikael replaced him as a vocalist and also took guitar duties.

Among metal fans, Mikael is noted for his exceptionally strong, progressive-rock-influenced songwriting style, and his ability to sing very proficiently in both a melodic tone and a harsh growl. Certainly one of the best vocalists in metal today. His death growls on Blackwater Park were wonderfully done and very difficult to match, and his vocal performances on Damnation are enough to swoon even the angriest teenage girls."

I got most of it from Wikipedia, changed it around a little, and added a few sentences.

ours could be put together pretty well, also I said Opet on there because before Mikael and Peter joined the 'h' wasn't in the name.

Talk about a band that fell off the face of the Earth, heh.

Also, I'm a bit disappointed that no one noticed that I re-strung my guitar WITHOUT ONE BREAKING in the video I posted. I win at life this evening.

It worked very well when no-one had stars.

Quite the complex, isn't it? :shrug:

Man...I come in this thread for the first time today and it's all rep talk, tsk tsk you guys.

For the other topics: I have no job during school, and I'm better than all of you <_< (except Ken :D)

Wow we got a little over a foot of snow yesterday! So consiquently I didn't go to work today. A good day all in all.

I have 377 now, before too long everyone will have stars. It doesn't really mean that much to me, I can't put it on a CV.

Nah, were not close to label decisions. Just life choices, how much one is actually willing to give up to take a chance, stuff like that.

When did I have a Willy Wonka avatar?

Exactly the same as me. I like white Christmases, but by mid-January I'm getting tired of all the salt and crap on the road.

Ah, gotcha. Good luck with that, man.

[QUOTE=Kingofdudes]Have you heard Acceleration?[/QUOTE]
Yeah, is there yet another cd by them, Back to the Office or something like that?

Are you still in the band that practices something like 3 hours away from where you live? That would be hard for me, so I can kind of understand where your coming from. Best of luck either way, though.

Bluey- I beleive they've got another full album coming out sometime in the Spring of 06. I could be mistaken, but I recall hearing that from the2stranger.

But the name is the name of a song by the band Noise Rachet, and I happened to like it so I went with it. Better name on a musician's site imo.
