A few questions to the man himself, Mikael...

[Mayh]

I was wondering if you have any ideas about the title of the upcoming albums? maybe some old prog band no one has ever heard of that you´ve been dying to name an album after (maybe not the biggest surprise but cool anyhow )

And the skateboarding thing you mentioned on the official site was that something to be proud of or am I ruining your metal-image by mentioning it. Maybe the you´ll record some ska/punk album in the near future, god forbid

P.s. I want to be the first one to compliment you on the killer mustache!!!

 

[Kushantaiidan]

Agreed, on EVERYTHING he said. =)

A fake rumor was going around that the title would be Death:Rebirth. Though it was a rumor, that would be a cool name for the albums, and it reminds me of Neon Genesis Evangelion, which is always a good thing.

 

[Obyeybyeogone]

I also like Death:Rebirth, although it doesn't sound quite Opethy. Want to leak some info to us, your most obsessed fans

skateboarding is cool, it can be metal.....Bam Magera from CKY2K and Jack Ass fame was wearing an Amorphis shirt in a skate video....not that that means shit but it's kind of cool.

What has that got to do with the price of fish?

Well I haven't skated in a while. I lost my skateboard somehow I am not that great either but I love to do it.

I've skateboarded for fun over the years and it's always been metal for me. I was a huge Jamie Thomas fan, and thats how i got into Iron Maiden.

When most people think of skateboarding, they think punk and ska and that bullshit, fuck that. I grew up watching certain skate videos with music like Sabbath, Maiden, Slayer,Gorguts, AC/DC.
I hate the trendy image skating has today.

UP THE IRONS

My point was, What the fuck does skateboarding have to do with Opeth, Mikael, or anything apart from being a shit pasttime of useless physical excertion for dickheads who think it's fun to skateboard because they are too dumb to find out that doing other things like NOT skateboarding is a lot funner.

meh.

I broke a tooth while skateboarding. It acheives nothing.

You DO realise that you just called Mikael a 'Dickhead who thinks it's fun to skateboard because he is too dumb to find out that doing other things like NOT skateboarding is a lot funner...' don't you??

What the fuck do 75% of the posts on this Goddamn board have to do with Opeth. It seems you wanted to skateboard and (*in a smart ass whiney voice*) tried real hard . But you just kept sucking, so know you are pissed at everyone who can stand on a board and roll down the street!!......next time why don't you NOT post a stupid ass remark...it is a lot funner

Read the Opeth biography on the official site, mikael said he and David Isberg met through skateboarding so you should thank this "useless physical excertion" for Opeth

Kushantaiidan seems to have some issues with all activities that are related to sport

 

[svenske kocken]

Jamie Thomas a Maiden fan? Sweet! Then I´m gonna play as him every time I play Tony Hawk 3.

WHERE IS THE LOVE?!

 

[Kushantaiidan]

And Mikael Akerfeldt is gonna read this thread, and think "Jeez, that Kushan guy, what a TWAT."

I need a damage minimalization team right about now.

I didn't know that Mikael Skate boarded, and sorry for being a twat.
