Favourite Opeth Quote

"It's fuckin freezing up here"

-very first thing he said to the crowd last time I saw them
 
Fan: "How's Melinda?!"
Mike: "She's doing great!"
Fan: "How's Anna?!"
Mike: "Also doing well."
Fan: "How's Satan?"
Mike: *QICKLY* "I'm fine."
 
Quebec City show last February just before they start a song :

Random guy in the front row - *yells something in swedish*
Mikael - This man is Swedish! TAKE HIM OUT!!
 
Me- "hows maurice?"
Mike - "oh you mean my cat?...hes good...still a coward"

Mike- "i remember this one time, this guy was like 'wheres steven wilson' and i was like, yea well i keep him in my trunk"
 
During the Helsinki gig @ Nosturi last fall Mike said something that the crowd would get on-stage, get free PRS custom guitars and get a blow job from M. Mendez :rock:
 
Akerfeltd: This song was originally recorded back in 1930 by a band called 'the cunts.' We're going to play it for you now, it's called....Deliverance.

Akerfeltd introducing TGC: "This song isn't about chicks, or snakes or cocroaches....... [at this point he's run out of shit to say] or men with ...really big muscles."
 
I don't remember many from the show I saw, but one I'll never forget for some reason was when Mikael was playing the riff game, and he played a guns and roses riff; everyone of course guesses guns and roses, and he says "fuck Guns and Roses!" New Orleans March '05.
 
that reminds me
the show this year when he did that guess the riff game everyone knew 'welcome to the jungle', to which he replied 'wow, you really are a bunch of soft cocks' or something to that effect
 
After playing soldier of fortune.... "I wrote that song back in 1974... too bad I was only just born, I would have been getting a lot of pussy otherwise."

Froma video of the famous 'metal quiz': Yes that's right, Smoke on the Water by Black Sabbath!
 
There were some classics at the two shows I've been to, but...

Mikael: "I don't need to be up here drunk."
Guy: "Hahah, you're drunk."
Mikael: "No I'm not."
Guy: "Hahahaha ya u arre."
Mikael: "No, you're drunk."

The Opeth guys don't seem to think that highly of the TGC video.
 
Nope, wouldn't you be annoyed with something that you had no influence on when the video was based on a song you created? When they got there all they were told to do was be recorded playing the song, then they left. To add to it RR edited the song to make it shorter so it would appeal to the majority of dim-witted RR fans.
 
Mikael-"we are not fuckin emo"

"Martin Mendez will soon put out a book, describing the bad effects of smoking marijuana. Haha, he's just shy"

"I love you too!... just not in that kind of way..."

"Screw Into eternity and Nevermore, we are way fuckin better than them"

"Oh, im sorry. We havnt rehearsed that one in a long time"

" I think the first song i ever wrote was called... it was called I Hate Hip Hop"

"We actually wrote Damnation to get all the ladies to come after us"

"It's like tripping on acid, saying, I want the vocals to sound like I'm inside an orange"

Peter-" If you're in a relationship, what do you argue about? you know, stupid things. We can argue about, just, bullshit things"

"we had a fight about dishes once, when we recorded"

Lopez- " we had an audition, and....it went well >:)"

"I've been playing percussion since im 4. we have this drum called Tamborin"

"we have little bitch fights..."

Mendez-
" I take... i took the baah... the bass after my father."
