I love how he gets impatient with his own intros
"Sorry"
Lmao top notch
I think the same 😅
"I write a lot of long intros I'm sorry for that" *thinks of ghost of perdition*
@@Mori42069 GHOST OFFFFF
😂😂😂
"Did I write that? That sounds nice" I love this man
Mikael: Did I write this?
Also Mikael: I stole this from ABBA
write something else, bro
@@alejandrocastillo6664 You got this, I recognize talent when I see it, come play something bruh
@@alex-ie8tp "Did you like that? It was ripped of by a band called Camel." is what he said once about Benighted, now he says it was stoled by ABBA. Weird.
Bro, did you write this? Write something else.
1:11 He's got something against the cactuses here - I almost spat my coffee
cacti
I wish I had your lowlife sense of humor, so I could find things funny, that aren't funny at all.
I mean... Mikael did say 'cactuses'
@@cl8804 Oh fuck off will you
...and the weird thing is, i wasn't even drinking coffee
That's my piano cover, nice
I feel special 🎹🌹
(Sorceress 2)
Because you are special
Love from shit posting
Nice job on that cover
@@TheCommonBear Thank you for the kind words :) 🌹
@@jaimeecherivel2927 Thanks! Glad you liked it 🌹
He legit needs his own channel. Very enjoyable and funny.
He does,
I’d watch his stuff.
@@SlyHikari03 damn really?
द।य।क।
It'd ruin his charm. TH-cam was a mistake
"I stole this from ABBA
I love him, he's a genius.
Pretty sure it's Camel but what do I know !
It *was* from Camel actually
Sometimes when Mikael is performing live he plays music between his standup comedy sets.
Seriously. Best guy on The mic between songs ive ever heard
Thats definately ripping off Camel's "never let go".
Mikael: -Happy music is FORBIDDEN.
Steven Wilson: Yes.
Also SW : writes permanating :')
@@_Sylve Permanating with its music video, the irony in that one alone makes it Wilson's most depressing song by stressing how empty the industry really is.
Back on topic, Mikael is so right here! He seems a very nice guy throughout.
@@daanvdwielen8760 "...by stressing how empty the industry really is" huh? how did indian dancers make you think that
@@nezumifluff not straight forward , but if you look at the end of the video steven shuts his piano all of a sudden , which leads that he was just kind of making fun of pop music for a while and that he is back to himself and his original music whereas that pop song was just a splurge of happiness in him.
Mikael: Happy music is forbidden!
Also Mikael: Writes the outro to Deliverance in the major scale
Doesnt feel very happy tho does it
@@fabiansanchez7203 Im not sure how it makes me feel
@@fabiansanchez7203 I think because the first part is in Lydian mode so it sounds more weird than happy
Major scale does not equal happiness.
@@beepst Well he said that because the sing cover he was listening to was one of his songs in the major scale... aka a happy song
Mikael reacting to his own songs.
Also Mikael: *AGAIN A SUPER LONG INTRO*
3:33 "Her voice is deep... but there's a parrott..."
😂 😂 😂
Should have been a peacock?
Yep I'm in that video.
Nice growls!
What are THINGS I NEVER THOUGHT I’D HEAR MIKAEL AKERFELDT SAY for $500, Alex?
@@GhoulishGrinMedia lol
@@Regarded69 Thanks
favourite thing about mikael is the sarcastic, almost "stand-up comedy" he does between songs at live shows. such a great sense of humour!
I’d pay just to hear him talk, honestly.
When you know, you know
"We are called Opeth. We are from Sweden, which I am told, by a waitress from Omaha, Nebraska, is near Europe." - Mikael at a show I attended.
@@9Dunkat Download Festival on the second stage “Hi, we’re Whitesnake”
makes me cringe
“Did I write that?? It’s nice...”
🤣
Thanks Mikeal for liking my Demon of the fall cover.
Sick!
Was that a budgie or a parrot, though?
@@patriksvensson2360 It was my cockatiel. And I have four birds.
Your vocals are damn brutal, very impressive. Are the birds your backing vocalists through?
@@Estorium I have pet birds and they like music.
"Makes me sound like I actually know what I'm doing" LOL Such a down to earth guy.
"Her voice is deep, but theres a parrot"
Best thing ive ever heard him say
That's me with the deep death growls
@@ragegrowler8367 you legit scared me and made me recoil with that growling.
Well done, ma'am!!
Going to be my first sentence if i ever write a book.
I legitimately bursted out laughing when he said “but there’s a parrot” a great moment of unintentional comedy.
Mikael is pretty humble. Most masterminds tend to be.
He starts out one live Harlequin Forest by letting a silence fall over the crowd, and then says:
" I met Bruce Dickenson today."
"Happy music is forbidden" - Mikael Åkerfeldt
No wonder why Steven Wilson loves you, LOL
DGHSGHS
2:39 I always write these overlong intros, I'm sorry...
These intros are the meaning of life
WE LOVE IT
Which I love so no trouble with that.
Wait... That’s not on purpose? Hahah
The Moor 🤦♂️
He seems so humble about his music even though he’s a genius
This dude seems like he is pretty damn cool
He's the shit
He is amazing.Watch him live talking and you will die from laughts.He is the most funnies guy ever and also very humble
Master Anonim I’ve been to one Opeth show but I overindulged and don’t remember it all.
@@TheMaster4999 check Devin Townsend, he's even more funny) and lovely
Seen him live in Cologne when Heritage came out. "We play a sub genre of metal. It's called shit." He's down to earth but also a good entertainer. They let the music speak for itself, a rare feat in professional musicians of this caliber.
**Matt playing Windowpane**
"I wonder why picked that song?"
Mikael, it's a masterpiece that's why he picked that song.
For all he's accomplished, Michael remains the humblest person. What a gift.
*He's got something against cactuses here*
Lol even akerfeldt skips opeth intros sometimes.
Its gotta be a 1300 bucks guitar
We recorded on 2 $ guitar pretty much
I was in this video
@@ragegrowler8367 Hey Brigid. Nice and deep gutturals you got there! Looks like your birds enjoy your singing, too. 😉
@Kanwer Vikram Haha! :) 🇮🇳🇮🇳🤘
चुत्तड़ चुख ले
@@267abhishek good for you!
Deliverance / Damnation era Opeth is one of the greatest musical things ever.
I agree
Wreath is a masterpiece
Oh man, i would love hanging out with him, he seems a chill funny guy.
"I can't even remember my own song." I can only imagine how difficult it can be to remember all that intricate music like that over all these years.
4:42 happy music is forbidden.
Hahaha this man is so funny.
Imagine hangout in a bar with Mikael.
I love you so much Mikael, you are a genius and your music always touches my heart. Even you don’t know me, I always feel like you are with me and singing for me. Thank you for your music.
berkay o kadar duygusal yazmışsın ki ağlayasım geldi yemin ederim
"That's the singer........preparing himself". Said with a straight face cracked me up! Love you Mike!
1 dislike is from Mike Portnoy bc he can't get Akerfeldt to collaborate with him
😁
🤣
Neither could Devin Townsend.
Did he mention that he's in 19 bands at the moment
@@getthepapersgetthepapers But none with Akerfeldt.
2:39
"I always weite these over-long intros. Sorry"
Dont be sorry sir. Those intros are a big part of what makes Opeth special. ❤
“Her voice is deep there’s a parrot” Mikael Akerfeldt-2019
He’s seemingly the most down to earth rock star out there. Would be cool to meet him.
4:47 I love how he says that x). It's like if he was on stage and announced the song, and it also hints how he's proud of this album.
Zlatan and Mikael, thank you Sweden.
Yes 😂👍
And Millencolin 😁🤙🏼
"I know him a little" - The Trivium fan in me has found validation of the highest degree.
6:13 his speaking voice reaches for a milisecond the note of the backing track. I thought he was gonna start singing it hahahhaha
I love Mikael 😄 he's hilarious and such a down to earth guy.
Met him a few years ago, I took my daughter to their 25th anniversary show, we were chatting about our daughters tastes in music and how he was forced to endure one direction 😂
Mikael is, along with Devin, the most likeable metalhead of all time.
Mea culpa...
Ever seen an interview with Tom Araya?
Same goes to Mikael stanne
@@Thrasher_Abbatoir All these Mikaels out there... Dark Tranquillity is great... I had to sing something in front of the class and I chose "Forward Momentum" by them
Matt Heafy has entered the chat
Always lovely to see him having fun!
Mikael is hilarious. Love his banter between songs during the Opeth shows, Priceless!!!
Opeth is phenomenal🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
"That's the singer......preparing himself.." fucking lmao at that part 😂
That was great!! I would have loved to see it uncut! I don’t care how many hours.
" I always write these over long intros. Sorry". lol
Its because Matt Heafy wants to get chicks back stage.
nice reference
Mike is always so funny. He has one of the driest sense of humor I've ever encountered. Waiting breathlessly for the new album later this month!
I love this man so much
Mikael is amazing. I have always loved the intro's man. As much as I understand people change and get older and their music changes. The music he made around ghost reveries time was the greatest music ever. I loved how his songs would go from soft and melodic and transition into heavy only to return to the melodic sounds. He will always be one of my favorite musician's of all time. I love the fact that he is a fun and well spoken guy as well.
everyone probably already knows this but the other cover that matt heafy (of trivium) did of opeth was harvest
Mikael, you're one of the best voices in metal world and Opeth is one of my favorite bands. keep up the awesome work!!!
Deep voice...but parrot...
Haha that's my daughter and my birds.
That was me with the very deep death growl.
I’m crying lol 😂
I lost my shit at that
Deep voice...butt parrot...
Mikael!! The last time I was really into metal was back when watershed was released. Now I'm been reminded with all these new videos and channels hes on.
I could watch you all day my friend, genius at work,lol
to the folks that don't feel like he's impressed: he's Swedish. they're VERY understated
So good of you, time fly'eyes. Merry Christmas
He’s one of a kind!! Hails from NYC!
"It'§ like a Videö, swörds and Şhit"
Mikael cracks me up man lmao... Alot of his persona and antics on stage when I seen em here in Canada too. HeavyTO, a killer lineup so I wasn't sure how Opeth would hold up but they did wonderful. They're fanbase is incredibly dedicated. The woman actually sounded like him 🤣 WOW and THAT parrot... Whoa Matt Heavy right on! Lol this video's killer
I loved how Michael kept explaining each of his observations and thoughts on each of the songs..
He’s gotta watch the video of the two kids playing isolation years at their talent show that was so good
Que simpático video !!👍me gusta mucho la banda .
I love it! I wish he reacted to some more harsh vocals and gived some advices and opinions
Man Pretty cool having him react to the that final video I’ve watched that whole thing dozens of times. Mikes just really cool ab everything haha I always picture him as the big name opeth guy but it’s cool seeing him so regular people things too
This man
Love him and his music
Most pleasant accent there ever was, especially the soft L's.
They sound like regular L's to me, please show me an example of hard L's, or L's! (hah)
@@afz902k I think Ivelina is talking about light Ls which are "soft" and dark(velarised) Ls.
In Swedish, they pronounce a light L.
@@afz902k Listen to an American say a word such as "lottery" and listen to Arnold say "Come with me if you want to Live". Take their average. Profit.
Because of this video I decided to to try and imitate his growls and make a short Ghost of Perdition clip of it since his scream/growls have always been some of my favorites due to how ''fine'' the distortion from his voice sounds. I'm really quite happy with the growls since I seem to use the same sort of technique to produce them... now... to start on the cleans lmao.
I'm gonna watch this guy live in 2 months 😭😭 can't just wait
Mikael is awesome. I cannot wait to see Opeth live someday!
I'm shocked about the Harvest cover. I loved that cover, and Xanthochronoid is amazing.
"Did I write that? Sounds nice" - Mikael, 2019
Wish this was longer!
Thanks Mikael and MetalSucks
Did he say he stole the Benighted intro from ABBA? I always thought it was from Never Let Go by Camel!
Progatron the Eloquent brain fart was it, abba got nothing with that phrase on guitar, Camel absolutely does.
@@xurxo12 They do, the start of The Winner Takes It All, even if he really took it from Abba, i must say that Never Let Go sounds more similar.
He actually is a huge ABBA fan. He's said so in interviews.
Yeah The Moor was stolen from Abba.
@@CJTranceAddiction and demon of the fall
It's weird watching 'underground' bands I grew up with like Opeth and Cradle Of Filth become more and more reknown over the years. Thanks Intermet.
I love the way Mikael act because it reminds me a lot! The "i wrote this? Its good" or "i can't watch myself"
I didn't think I could have any more respect for Mikael, but the fact hes in a workshop has made me love this guy even more
I cant watch any interview/or video of this type without bursting in laugh due to his high level sarcasm and that "I am fckin troll" face XD
Mikael is a really cool dude.
Great The Heard Shirt! We toured with Crucified Barbara in the US. Great folks and great tunes!
I love him ♡
Haha he loves us 🤣
remember, happy music is forbidden
Hahaha, that is great work guys. I hate it, yet it is very fascinating!
*When you get Facebook notification of your memories 5 years ago*
5:57 "I can't watch myself, like a fucking young spotty kid."
uow! this is amazing! best video ever!!!
Love this man
When you see this and remember that you’ve closed your Opeth cover’s privacy settings 😪
I’m not a socialist,lol. I’m an introvert.That’s different
1:33 give that Girl a record label
I wish they played In mist she was standing live. Its such an amazing song from beginning to end.
Best off orchid hands down!
i was listening to morning rise today & when i returned home i saw this video ! opeth is my life !
Grande Miguelito!
Jajaja. Sí es grande mi tocayo.
Ah un comentario en español jaja
he is so frank.
i like that.
He is so Mikael.
This is such a good video!
I would really like to learn to play the Hope Leaves. Such a beautiful song.
I love how relatable Mikael can be
Mikael sees Matt Heafy
"I know him a little"
I love his reaction to the Happy Metal guys' version of Grand Conjuration. I had a similar reaction.
Love u Michael ❤🤘
