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.

: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:

:lol: That's awesome!

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

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

But still, Funny Indeed

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

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?

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

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

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.

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...

The Death album to get is Human. :D

[QUOTE=Dunkelheit509]The Death album to get is Human. :D[/QUOTE]
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. :)

Yeah, let's shift topics...

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

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 :(

Me too, on UM. Although I only post on the Opeth board.

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

Would kill to see how he delivered that.

heheh 25th of April. I am giddy, NOW people I asked already the songs they play live. Please whats everything you know of them playing live because I don't want to miss a song because I was too dumb to know it.

[QUOTE=Jude]Me too, on UM. Although I only post on the Opeth board.[/QUOTE]

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.

I like that video when hes giving growling lessons.

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.

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.

Haha, I bet a few people were embarassed when they heard that they want to suck their own penis :lol:

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 [b]f[/b]ucker!"

"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:

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

[QUOTE=Crysiss] I thought it was pretty funny when Mikael was making fun of Mendez' horizontal headbanging :lol:[/QUOTE]

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

[QUOTE=TojesDoLan]Is it just me or is the tone for "Ending Credits" in the studio version is pathetic compared to the live, "Lamentations" version?[/QUOTE]

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.

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

He uses a Paul Reed Smith.

[QUOTE=Flynn]He uses a Paul Reed Smith.[/QUOTE]
he plays both when he records....

[QUOTE=Flynn]He uses a Paul Reed Smith.[/QUOTE]

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

[QUOTE=ok lateralus]Yeah, but on Lamentations he switched to the Les Paul just for "Ending Credits"[/QUOTE]


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