Does Mikael use earplugs during the gigs?

I don't know, I didn't notice anything when I saw them live the both times and on the DVD...
 
Here are facts why my name is totally valid:
- I've shaken Mike's hand approx twelve times
- Mike has given me 4 guitar pics
- Mike has signed a lot of my stuff (including my car)
- Mike remembered my name when I followed him all over US during the damnation tuor
- I've taken several pictures with Mike

I think those facts clearly show that I'm Mikael Åkerfeldt's fan number 1.
 
i dont think any of them use earplugs. at least i didnt notice them any of the 3 times i saw them.
and annoying stalker fan: do you feel special that he shok you hand 12 times? i shook my bosses hand twelve time. i dont get a user name hiranzakirahaiderstalkerfankosdajfklsdjflksjdfklasjkl#LJ%KLJK$JK
 
Your boss isn't anywhere as cool as Mike is. Mike has always something witty to say, no matter what happened. Mike is an awesome band leader. All the guys in Opeth love him.
