Do the band read this board u think?

It's not me..

find whoever swears a lot, that's Mikael :p

Do you think they really do read this? They probably hate us all by now, if that's the case.

They seem pretty humble, and having a raving fanbase like us must be a little strange.

If I were as seemingly shy as Mikael is, and I saw a nickname that said Duvall is God, I'd be a little unsure of what to think :)
 
I'm positive they read this shit!

Think about it, wouldn't you? I sure would.

I think we are the most fanatical fans ever.

I wonder why they never reveal themselves to us? Probably cuz, like any other god, they prefer to quietly observe from afar.

Hail Mikael! I know you're reading this! :)

Satori
 
I've often wondered if they indeed do read this. I'm pretty sure that they do, and I wish they would write a word or two once in a while. I think at least one of them does, but he doesn't post a lot. He is one of those people that has been a member for a long, long time but still has a Junior Member label.

Maybe if we had a poll or a survey we could get them to start comunicating with us...
 
They seem pretty humble


I think Mikael is one of, if not THE most talented musicians on the face of the earth, but he is FAR from humble. I almost spit out my drink when I first read that. Not cutting down Mikael in any way, but have you read any of his interviews? He is extremly confident person when it comes to his music. Humble? LOL! He says that he thinks his music is some of the best out there, and that he listenes to it himself because it is so good. He is right of course... and I agree that other band members seemed humble about their music, but Mikael is not one of them.
 
Hello??

One of them do, though out of respect to him I won't reveal his screenname though I think I can say he's not actually a part of the band now;) ;)

But that discovery really got me wondering as to whether the Mikael and the gang do check out these boards. I agree with Satori, unless they're living in the stone age without computers, they got to be. Hell If I was mikael I'd come here every hour on the hour just to see people with screen names like "Mikael is God" and such :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: - alright maybe it wasn't that funny.

But it'd be pretty cool to see the shit that goes on in here- the diversity, the humor, the general politeness, the wit and intelligence. I'd be pretty damn proud....
 
ahh eveyrone stooppp mentioning me haha..... hmmm... you know what.... about humble people... i cant stand it... when bands have fucking amazing amazing amazing music and then the members of the band try to say like "oh its not a big deal were nothing special" so what the fuck did you write all the good music by mistake? if i have good shit then im going to say i am good! the people that dont respect their own skills dont make sense to me

hmmmm, i don't guess it's Nordin or DeFarfalla, as they left the band loooooooooong before this forum was created... Steven Wilson? David Isberg?
 
I am sure Mikael reads this board.

Unless it was someone pretending to be him he must have followed my signature link to my homepage and used my submit form there.

So he must have read a thread here somewhere :)
 
hmmmm, i don't guess it's Nordin or DeFarfalla, as they left the band loooooooooong before this forum was created.

well..it´s Nordin.
and that would be me :)
I have decided to not be incognito.. :)

One of them do, though out of respect to him I won't reveal his
heyyy Xtokalon, that´s great of you!!!! but I´m not incognito anymore so that´s oki dokie :)
and yes..Micke comes here sometimes, I think I can say that :) hehehe I dont know about the other fellows, but I guess they do, it´s pretty interesting actually hehehe :D
but the thing is that I´m not a member any more so I dont count :rolleyes: :)
 
I really want to know who moderates this forum? Opeth.com so does that mean the webmaster there or someone else? I have private messaged them once with no response.
 
Johan: heyy, thanxk for those kinds words!!! :cool: makes me happy to hear that :)

Mikael doesn't have a computer . he had to sell his amp to pay the rent in his place . and he had to go to a friends place to record some demo's , if he had a computer he'd do it right on there (using sawplus 32 of course)
 
WOW! Its great to see you in the forum here Anders. To tell you the truth once I saw that I was very shocked and my stomach dropped, just the star struck feeling you know... As Demonspell said its great that you can communicate with us, thanks a lot. I'm looking forward to those stories!!!!! :)

Exactly the same here. Anders has influenced the way I play drums more than anyone basically. It's awesome to be in the company of him. :cool:

And of course my nickname is a one of my favourite songs ... he wrote and played it.

Heh, mine as well. I'm now listening to Morningrise, trying to memorize all the drumming... we don't have enough Thales songs to play for five hours (heh), so lately when we've been rehearsing we play all our songs two or three times and some Opeth songs in between. Best ones usually twice. :lol:

Silhouette is a magnificient song. Ante kicks ass! :D
