That's the beauty of Nardwuar though. His high-pitched voice, the moderately relevant gifts, the way he brings up random shit from the past that no one remembers, and of course, the way he just poses at the end with his mouth wide open. I love this guy. His interviews are always entertaining.
They are all different idk how there can be one greatest band ever We don’t have one emotion our whole life and that’s it, we fluctuate between emotions
The only other "Thank you" I've seen following the "Doot doota loo doo" setup was Henry Rollins and I think it was more of a function of Henry trying to remain polite despite growing a little weary of Nard.
Listen, I've been idolizing Mikael for quite some time now. That was the most un-Mikael interview ever, and I f*ckin loved it. Easily my favorite Mikael interview ever. I think I somehow like it even more now that I learned who Nardwuar is and his street cred with rappers.
Greatest Nardwuar interview, Mike could totally be himself. I judge how cool people are based on how they interact with Nardwuar, and these two were just SO alike, amazing.
Whoa! This Ricky fellow really hates Nardwuar. Let me finally counter his claim: it couldn't possibly be that Nardwuar truly enjoys lots of music, especially underground, BUT it's his damn job as an interviewer to pull up backgrounds of each artist... where they came from/grew up listening to etc etc? He was always the best, man. Really researched/learned his shit. It's really evident in the Bones interview recently. Nardwuar has always been great at his job. Love Mikael & Nardwuar
@@TabithaStabitha Except it didn't work here. Most of the stuff he brought up wasn't relevant. Wrong county, bands Mikael doesn't listen to, random things swedes might drink but Mikael doesn't know or seem to care about. I usually like Nardwuar, but this one was a failure. Luckily Mikael was agreeable enough to make it at least pleasant. Look at the early Rollins one to see another time Nardwuar's preparation failed and it blew up in his face.
mikael is one of the most sophisticated people in the music industry, baffles my mind how naturally elegant and smart he is, but doesn't try to act smart, very humble person
I can respect that, I enjoy Bloodbath too. However, I feel Opeth is where some of his best written songs are. Plus it showed off that he also has a great melodic voice too...in a way that was totally unique to me.
Loving their energy! They should have a podcast together, at least. Mikkael debunking swedish vodka myths, and talking about his crushes on Eurovision chicks, and Nardwuar doing his thing. Pretty please!:)
Thats crazy.. Fucking Human Napkin has literally interviewed everyone I love.. From Trae the Truth, to Opeth.. All I need to see now, is Acid Bath, and Z-ro..
What I don't understand is why people in bands don't see Nardwuar riding in on his high horse from a mile away since he has already done so many interviews.
Is it even a rumour though? From what I can gather it was just a joke 'the onion'/'hard times' style satirical article that was published on some metal website a few months before this interview was uploaded and probably not long before it was conducted. I might add that the article is pretty clearly a joke lol.
Opeth is a pretty cool guy
he is from the band Opeth... i mean he is the singer of a swedish metal band called Opeth :D
***** you are wrong, Opeth is a guy and very pretty cool guy
THEsyntheticFresh his name is mikael akerfeldt... lead singer of Opeth
no dude, his name is Opeth and he is a great persona
***** No, he is Opeth lead singer of Bloodbath
I have never seen any interviewer make Mikael smile so much. I didn't want this video to end!!
We can see his sweet natural side.
I think Danny Carey might be the only one that smiles more during interviews
Damn, Mikael fucking nerded out on the music questions. Mikael the kinda dude that talks nonstop about obscure bands at a party
Hex Zero That's my kinda people.
Yeah, same
I think we'd be refilling glasses and talking all night about bands and our collections :D.
Like me
thank god
I've never seen mikael so confused before.
+Tobias TK his reaction at 8:32 haha priceless!
Hahahahaha :D
That’s the magic of Nardwuar. Not only could he confuse mikael akerfeldt, but he also outclassed Henry Rollins in an old interview.
I'm so used to nardwuar catching the interviewee off guard, that I actually half-expected him to hand mikael a bag of weed.
When it will be legal, maybe he will give it to snoop.
Let's be honest....the best part of this interview is when Mikael takes on that awkward silence. LOL
That's the beauty of Nardwuar though. His high-pitched voice, the moderately relevant gifts, the way he brings up random shit from the past that no one remembers, and of course, the way he just poses at the end with his mouth wide open.
I love this guy. His interviews are always entertaining.
"No... it has nothing to do with yogurt." - Mikael Akerfeldt
his face just says "IM FUCKING DONE!" xD
haha I honestly think Mike had no idea what he was getting himself into with this interview. Nard is awesome!
"-d." - Mikael Akerfeldt
Nardwuar: Tell me about the greatest Swedish band ever.
Mikeal: ABBA
Priceless
ACDCrocks051 In fairness, Mikael genuinely believes that, and he’s probably not wrong!
it's actually Bathory
Opeth is the best Swedish band ever because they are the best band period.
Arckanum is the best Swedish band.
IMO Meshuggah is the best Swedish band... Or Mats/Morgan band is as good, I mean, there's so many excellent Swedish bands it's insane.
They are all different idk how there can be one greatest band ever
We don’t have one emotion our whole life and that’s it, we fluctuate between emotions
Not even close.
Fucking aye, bud.
How many dudes have a crush on Mikael's speaking voice? I'm a gal and I sure do.
ruinsane100
Right here.
Soothing AF.
Mancrush. Can't resist it. xD
Akerfeldt ASMR should be a thing
Haha. I love his voice too. I’m straight, but I’m turned on by his voice.
@@williammunson2508 10:30 :) :) :)
"Doot Doola Doot Do"
"Thank you..."
Great interview :D
Lee Holy Spirit Close enough haha
The only other "Thank you" I've seen following the "Doot doota loo doo" setup was Henry Rollins and I think it was more of a function of Henry trying to remain polite despite growing a little weary of Nard.
Right as I saw Nardwuar vs. Opeth a little bit of my soul floated up to heaven
Mikael is awesome i could watch him all day
+Jared Kadish thanks for your comment
+Jared Kadish no problem buddy
hahaha wtf
It was too good to be true as I typed it into the search bar. But true it was, beautiful world
I love mikael's accent so much, the way he finished the word Zombies it's so funny and amazing.
its pretty cool
Reini Kawa for absent friendsss. He doesn’t use the “z” sound
Listen, I've been idolizing Mikael for quite some time now. That was the most un-Mikael interview ever, and I f*ckin loved it. Easily my favorite Mikael interview ever. I think I somehow like it even more now that I learned who Nardwuar is and his street cred with rappers.
I love how everyone turns into a child when talking to Nardwuar
not everyone, some get pissed
@@Jake7inchnails like?
@@LEONSKENNEDY91 Gene Simmons
@@IgorTheFool ofcourse Gene would get mad. Dude is an egotistical prick
@@LEONSKENNEDY91 Lydia Lunch
"shall i say something now? Is this the awkward moment?" - So swedish hahaa
Penis... vagina... sexual intercourse.
I thought after penis vagina he would continue with pee pee doo doo!
Mikael is like a perfect blend of Frank Zappa and Sascha Baron Cohen
Whoa
And a little bit of dave grohl
THANK you! God! I was trying to figure that out.
Yur a fuckin genius
I'm not really familiar with Opeth, but this guy makes me want to check them out. None of the rockstar ego BS. Seems like a real class act.
So???? Did you??? 😂😂😂
Greatest band ever.
Did you expand your mind listening to the greatest prog rock band in existence hmm ?
Did you check them out?
@@The420Earthling He probably didn't expect the growls lmfao
Greatest Nardwuar interview, Mike could totally be himself. I judge how cool people are based on how they interact with Nardwuar, and these two were just SO alike, amazing.
It's 2023, and I am still watching this. Somewhere there must be a 10 hour version.
Probably the best interview i've ever seen
Mikael Akerfeldt's voice never fails to make me weak at the knees
Your pfp makes me weak in the knees 😍
Mikael is such a music nerd, and Narduar really does his research; I knew this was going to be a great interview!
they're made for each other
I'd love to see Nardwuar vs Steven Wilson
Wow . . . thats a SCARY thought. Steve smiling and laughing repeatedly would be shocking :D
gogolplex74 steven would get mad haha, he is not the kind of guy who does jokes
gogolplex74 Nardwuar would leave depressed af
@@danielalls yeah love the guy and his music, but really looks like a guy who takes everything seriously
@@ezzong Yeah Steven seems like that but since he is such a good friend with Mikael, who is such a funny guy, he must be more relaxed when "off-duty".
We need Nardwuar vs. Devin Townsend!
Oh God, yes!!!!
Who is the biggest hometown van.city interviewee that Narduar has met? Joe from d.o.a. ? Heavy Devy would be a good one
Richard Key nardwuar interviewed Seth Rogen
I have a feeling they might be the same person
Thst would be sooooo Canadian!
Nardwuar vs Meshuggah!!!!!
YES! That would be so hilarious I'd probably laugh to death :D
Nardwuar vs burzum
lol
Someone wants to see Nardwuar dead.
Nardwuar vs Wardruna...
Let's find out
@@andywitch666 Nwardruna vs. Wardnar
What is this magical strangeness I've just witnessed?
Nardwaur!!!
nardwuar really catches people offguard, some get quite pissy but Michael delt with this so well. Great guy!
"I was hoping for the other type of weed"
man weren't we all
This will forever be my favorite video on the internet.
What if he interviewed Brent Hinds...the galaxy would collapse
Henry Walton I’d imagine Brent would play along with the awkwardness and then fart or something during the end.
🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅
Surprisingly this might be one of the best Nardwuar interviews
Dave Mustaine as "The cameraman"
Bloodbath when I sit in parking lots, and Opeth for the driving. Great dude.
I will never get sick of watching this interview.
I'm gonna give you some weed * hands over a music CD *
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME
Don't understand why people are hating on Narduwar.
They're joyless, edgy metal-elitist douches.
The irony is that Mikael is just as much the opposite of that as Narduar!
Metal heads are an aggressive bunch... just look at the dude above me
Whoa! This Ricky fellow really hates Nardwuar.

@@Red-Brick-Dream I'm huge into all metal sub genres and I don't understand the mentality (metality) of some of these douchebag metal fans

Very whacky interview style but very endearing and you get some great answers. You've obviously done your research too. Great to watch.

Nardwuar vs Ihsahn would be fun to see. This was great haha
Michael is such a cool dude
Never heard of Nardwuar before, this was absolutely great! Keep it up haha. Great to see Mikael enjoy this so much. :)
Ive never seen Mikael like this
this is awesome
I wonder whats going through Mikaels head when he does the weird things
"are all Canadians like this?"
I can respect that, I enjoy Bloodbath too. However, I feel Opeth is where some of his best written songs are. Plus it showed off that he also has a great melodic voice too...in a way that was totally unique to me.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Mikael"
this feels like im seeing that 70's show
Jackie: Michael!! Michael!!!! Michael!!
Nardwuar vs. Devin Townsend
I met this beautiful beast last Sunday. I was too shy and unprepared to say much.
Nardwuar..?!!
Loving their energy! They should have a podcast together, at least. Mikkael debunking swedish vodka myths, and talking about his crushes on Eurovision chicks, and Nardwuar doing his thing. Pretty please!:)
When I am feeling sad, I watch this video.
Then I stop being sad.
One of the best interviews I've seen.
Nardwuar and Abbath
YES PLEASE AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
This has to be the best Mikael interview ever. He's a combination of confused yet incredibly amused.
>>> 10:22
The outro was beautiful
This is the first interview when I really see Mikael happy jajaja, cool.
I freakin' love the Mikael's voice
WHY DIDNT I SEE THIS SEVEN YEARS AGO
just his persona, but he is probably the best interviewer of musicians ever.
Mikael rocks...I really didn't expect you to interview Opeth, one of my favorites for sure. Gotta love the ending. xD
10:22 classic moment
Mikael, why are you so adorable?! Also, Nardwuar vs Varg Vikernes!!!
wtf i had no idea this was a thing
This video made me very happy, I really like Mikael Akerfeldt. Thank you Nardwuar!
Best ending to a video of any genre ever
Thats crazy.. Fucking Human Napkin has literally interviewed everyone I love.. From Trae the Truth, to Opeth.. All I need to see now, is Acid Bath, and Z-ro..
7:08 explo-
I love that he interviews all my favorite artists from opeth to joanna newsom
Funny as hell this was. Michael A (and maybe Karl Sanders too) have to be the most chilled out guys in metal
I love how Nardwuar has an interview with literally everyone
Best Nardwuar interview I've ever seen.
What I don't understand is why people in bands don't see Nardwuar riding in on his high horse from a mile away since he has already done so many interviews.
That's his force. You'd be be caught in too! Cuz you also have an ego.
Exac
Why the hell have I not seen this til now, oh my god
For real! Same here
“No it had nothing to do with yogurt”
I love how Mikael's priority with female musicians is their hotness
For the love of god, put a foamy pop screen on that mic.
My favorite interviewer and my favorite vocalist....LOVE.
*Nardwuar trying to get that wow reaction*
Mikael: ...yeah
it's been 12 years already?? Nardwuar can we get another interview with Mikael???
cronos isnt actually kates uncle. Its just a rumour
Nicurauga zzz really?
Is it even a rumour though? From what I can gather it was just a joke 'the onion'/'hard times' style satirical article that was published on some metal website a few months before this interview was uploaded and probably not long before it was conducted. I might add that the article is pretty clearly a joke lol.
sick ass interview haha
Translated from Swedish I think he was saying "I fucking hate the Sputniks"
Nardwuar vs devin townsend, that would be amazing
I love how many people don't get Nardwuar. Great, as always.
0:42 NO ONE cuts Mikael While he speaks.
Mikael looked like George Harrison in the thumbnail
mikael is like a parent to me, idk how to explain it
I think I get it. I felt that way when I was 15 and heard Damnation for the first time. That was my introduction to Opeth.
Damn Nardwuar the fucking legend!!! Getting Young Thug and Opeth. Man you are a living legend, greetings and lots of blesssings from germany
Michael has a very sophisticated voice
Mikael is so wholesome man
I love both Mikael & Nardwuar, can't believe I haven't seen this yet...Thanks so much for the upload!
Very good interview. Mike is such a nice guy. And the end bit was funny as hell 😂
loved it! gets me so excited... will be seeing Opeth and Katatonia 10/31!
I laughed so hard when Mikael mentioned people shoving vodka soaked tampons up cats asses.
i was hoping for the other type of weed, but thank you very much!
Kate Middleton is in no way related to Cronos. Keith Spillett made an incredibly convincing article on it (under the humour section, of course).
Mikael Åkerfeldt : " de"
