Can Mikael explain this? Can Peter explain this? Can ANYONE explain this?

[Dvoters]

Whats with the suits haha

I don't get it.

 

[Thorns of Sorrow]

I said it before, and Ill say it again....Just HOW STONED is Peter in that pic?

 

[Dvoters]

Stoned enough to get into that fucker of a suit

 

[SentencedToBurn]

is it just me or does the old drummer look like the guitarist of The Strokes.¿

 

[transfixed]

Holy crap, you're right.

Haha, that pic was supposed to be on a compilation Cd. We supplied the photos (top hat ones) to Century Media or whoever was doing this tribute, but they chose our ordinary "Forest" pics instead of this one...I wonder why...haha!!
I love it! It was my fukkin idea to have the suits and shit...we wanted the pic to look "old", like 1920's or something.

Brings back memories this one....it's 7 years ago now.
Cheers guys
Mike

 

[SentencedToBurn]

yep it sure looks old
You should sue akercocke for stealing the idea. hehe

 

[Opethfan1980]

It was your idea, Mikeal? It sure is a far cry from the normal Opeth look. Well, thanks for the explanation, anyway.

 

[Thorns of Sorrow]

*puts arms around Mikael* Buddy, friend, pal, cmon you can tell me, is Peter stoned on pot in that pic, I mean cmon he can barely open his eyes, and I thought the Martin's were the only one into that stuff heheh

 

[DrX]

They look like The Strokes!

 

[Static]

How sauve...

This is the oddest Opeth picture ever! Its very Faith No Moreish, Mikael, Peter and Anders all look like 007 secret agents and Johan...umm, looks like...yeah well, a pimp.

 

[Thorns of Sorrow]

Johan looks like Kato Kaelin, or Stuttering John from Howard Stern hehe

You're funny, ToS
You made me check the pic again, as I didn't really notice Peter's eyes looking so stoned as you say... hehe.. I dunno why you think so that much. So... I compared his (supposed) half-closed eyes to Mikael's, and now Mikael looks stoned too!!

What's going on here...

And Mikael, you said "photos" as in maybe there are other "top hat" ones from that photo shoot?? Send me one for my scrapbook ok! No really.. you should post em all. Classic early Opeth, what every fan needs!!

 

[Ermz]

Your idea? hahahah.... you rule man

 

[Ermz]

Haha, I don't think Johan would've complained about his... suits the 'pimp' look

 

[Opet]

OOOoooh, right. 1920 look. OK.

Before I couldn't tell what you were going for with that idea. I've had this one for a while. I think it came from... google search maybe. Pete doesn't look stoned to me, looks more like he's trying to look... stern. I always wondered "why the hat"? 1920s. Of course.

Someone should have told Chesty to button it up. It sort of kills the twenties vibe.

 

[CAIRATH]

That picture is fantastic.

 

[Ermz]

hahahah, oh my god... I just realized... Anders looks like Snoop Dogg in that photo..... AHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH
