Yup.

The only one directly from Mikael was in an interview he did for Guitar World, a DVD that came with it where they showed how to play "The Grand Conjuration". In the interview he talks about how big of an influence The Zombies had on him... and I got their album and it really is amazing stuff...

Thanks for sharing man!

So according to his scoring scale, Opeth's music is "Commonplace music adored by moronic groupies, but detested by smart fans." That guys a fucken' moron that should just walk away from music.

1:53 into Day Twelve? I don't hear any growling going on...
