ask Akerfeldt your questions

[steel102]

What is your opinion on the following images?

and this one:

 

[Draehl]

Ask him if there's any bands he's discovered recently that he's in to.

 

[Nitronium Blood]

What do you vision will be the cause of your death?

 

[Anarkissed]

Now that you're with Roadrunner, would they be willing to purchase the rights/pay royalties in order for you to perform songs from pre-Blackwater Park albums on a live DVD?

Have you heard Farmakon before, and what do you think of them?

When do you think Lopez will be fit to play with you again?

Do you have any thoughts on your next album?

What ideas would you like to explore in music that you write in the future?

What type of Volvo do you drive?

 

[The Evil Toucan]

Does he dig Devin Townsend and would he do a project with him.

 

[mooserider]

What type of Volvo do you drive?

It could be a SAAB.

 

[Blackened Rainbow]

i ask these on metalinjection site but nothing happened.fuck metalinjection!

-I love all of your albums especially Orchid and Morningrise. You had used
fretless bass and bass guitar foreground very well. I know Mendez does not
use fretless bass. Why have not used the bass guitar on foreground another
question parallel to bass guitar usage, who is writing basses you or Mendez?
The reason of my question is in Lemantations you were showing Mendez how to
play some parts on bass guitar
By the way, I would like to point that Ghost Reveries has the best bass
usage after Orchid and Morningrise.

- I would like to know the reason of Johan DeFarfalla's quit. I like Mendez
but DeFarfalla is better with bass guitar.

-and of course lopez
thanks!

It could be a SAAB.

From an Opeth fanboys point of view its definatley a volvo.

 

[Disgustipated]

Yes, and Anna is tall, tanned and blond, with blue eyes and humongous tits.

 

[the opeth affinity]

has opeth ever concidered a five-a-side football tournament with other bands on the road runner label?
1)Akerfeldt-(the creator, roaming free midfeild somewhere)
2)lindgren- striker
3)lopez-centre half
4)mendez-defence
5)wiberg-goal keeper

they could take on the likes of cradle of filth, killswitch engage and so on, now that would be a great competition and fun of course \m/

 

[sweet majestic darkness]

I want to know that when they do indeed come back to to Michigan in February will you be playing ADVENT?!?

 

[paradoxile]

Technically Mike already did a project with Devin Townsend.
That was Ayreon's Human Equation. Mike was "Fear", Devin was "Rage"
besides them there was Arjen Lucassen(obviusly), James LaBrie, Devon Graves, Marcella Bovio,Mike Baker and other Famous names I don't remember right now.

My question: Would Opeth consider remastering "Orchid" and "Morningrise" and releasing them again under Roadrunner(with permission from the original label,of course)?

OMG - if Opeth remade Opeth and Morningrise with better production, I would just... OMG. That would be fucking amazing.

 

[BRI]

Na, it wouldn't.

Those two need a remastering bad...

 

[Dante's Inferno]

But it's also cool to have those albums with a more raw production, in my opinion though. That's like another feature those albums have that the newer ones will never have.

 

[RamsesBringerOfWar]

Do you miss being a spectator at gigs?

He still goes to gigs

I remember hearing a recent interview where he said that they (Opeth) checked out MORBID ANGEL just before Ghost Reveries was released (might have been during the recording)

Of course...It's like listening to the first mastering of a pink floyd or led zeppelin records.I love a good raw vintage sound but still having a masterpiece in better quality allows it to be seen in sort of a new way and the music has better chances of progressing to the next generation of fans.

 

[gatedropper]

When will Roadrunner let the Bloodbath DVD finally hit the market?
Where part of the world would they like to play where they've never been?
