akerfeldt is a funny guy

[blacksummer]

am from turkey and i watched opeth's live performance 2days ago,,and i was fascinated anyway
and i found out that he is cocky and funny at the same time
he said "if you have to yawn at least don't do it while you are headbanging, like americans"
also said
"today, i ate kebab...
yesterday, i ate kebab...
yummy..."
it was awesome

 

[FRUGiHOYi]

ew. he said the yawning thing here in orlando too, but he didnt say like americans cause he was in america

but yea, hes pretty funny

 

[ViCyniC]

lol he actually has a comedy routine

 

[Misseriah]

And the funny thing is, it's actually not that funny! You guys are just awestruck by seeing your favorite band play. And possibly your secret homosexual desires for multitudes of moustache rides.

actually, i agree he's not THAT funny, but because they are a death metal band and Mike is so laid back, it makes his jokes seem pretty funny, even if they're not all that.

 

[Raistlin Majere]

They were awesome in turkey.

 

[Black Paragon]

But there not a death metal band.

 

[daz436]

pedant

hey they call themselves death metal

What's makes him so funny is how different he is from other metal frontmen. Most singers preach politics, getting fucked up, mosh pits & how great they are. They also pose after or during every scream.

Mike tells light hearted jokes & avoids the frontman cliches. He is quite refreshing. He also interacts with the audience in between songs & seems to genuinely care about his fans.

Americans yawn while we headbang ??? Now that's a low blow...

 

[Raistlin Majere]

he was like "i love britney spears" and the audience was like "yeah shes hot"


now we see opeth's and fans' real face

thats whats so funny about it.

 

[Powers]

I've said it before and i'll say it again. Any front man who refuses to start a song until the crowd has named the entire orginal line up of Europe, is fucking funny as hell.

Joey Tempest

John Norum

John Levén

I like kebab. Kebab is my friend.

That makes Mikael my friend too!

 

[BrandonS]

Americans yawn while headbanging? How about I yawn while banging his head... Talkin' bout my homiez that way!

[all_sins_undone]

....PEAC EOUT

 

[JoeVice]

waz, that was the most wazzian that i've ever read of you.

"dienst" and "regulat"

 

[blacksummer]

and i would like to add that he also said : "the orphaned land guy over there " he was talking about martin mendez's headbang style
but i must say that he also became arrogant he didn't let me have his signature and plectrum and to noone

 

[Powers]

waz, that was the most wazzian that i've ever read of you.

"dienst" and "regulat"

We've morphed waz in an adjective now? wazzian?

Waz i congratulate you, you are an epoynym.
