Mikael from Opeth carries a purse!

[_Transparent_]

Indiana Jones has one of those, and hes not a pussy

I carry this "Belgian Haversack" (I think it was called that at the Army Surplus place..) - I'm on my 3rd one since I take it everywhere and it gets beat to hell. I heard it was used to carry a gas-mask in, but now it holds my discman and book for the TTC, occasionally glasses case, bottle of water, narcotics, keys, various other useful items depending on my destination at the time..

I even call it my purse sometimes, just to strange people out.

I doubt they'll know what TTC is man

(and yea.... TTC = Toronto Transit Comission)

Mikael is average height, Peter is TALL, and Mendez and Lopez SEEM like average height but yeah I think Mendez is short.

I'm taller than Peter

It's not a purse, it's a man's "Carry-All".

Some people on this thread need to stop giving such a shit. Thats a pretty cool band photo.

That jacket of Peter is cool

Ah yes, that is the first thing I noticed. Man, I'd kill for a jacket like that!

BTW, that's a cool pic of Opeth...where are they, though? I see a bunch of other people in the background....


And, lastly...nothing wrong with that leather satchel. Hey, Mike looks cool, alright? One thing I always liked about Opeth is how they are just regular guys, They don't have an image many other bands are all about. They don't need no face pant, black clothing, spikes, chains, piercings, etc, etc to be metal....these guys rock!

 

[Thorns of Sorrow]

The Martins look like children compared to Mike and Peter.

It's from the swedish music festival Hultsfred.

Any one familiar with the basic social theory of semiotics usually attributed to Umberto Eco would realise different "signs" in this case a bag produce a wildly yet tempered interpretation.
Quick explantion: The word bag. Now hey what does that mean. Bag, a device, an ugly woman, a thing for groceries a receptacle for testicles. I could go on. Something that US or Australian males don't do.
Hey its a device for carrying things. Is it a statement about his masculinity. It is a thing he just happened to have near him when so said snapshot of a moment was presented. He is a fanatical promoter of Versace accessories for the modern European male.
Guys get over it.
It means within limits whatever you construe.
Those arguments are open to debate that is the point.
Nuff said.

Its the best band picture of Opeth I've seen so far.

It's not a purse, it's a sack.
He loves to show off his excellent sack, and very few are allwed to touch it.

Here's my comment on height:
You know what's great about being tall, if you don't know someone's name, you can just call them shorty.

 

[osse87]

So... Who's the redhead picking her nose ?

 

[redblueyes]

You people are strange.

If you ask me he's holding his girlfriends purse while she takes the picture. Notice how he's the only one noticing (and smiling towards) the photographer.

Anyway, even if it is his, he probably didn't want the cash or whatever getting ripped off at the festival. I seriously doubt they had a secure backstage room, probably just a band tent with all types of folks going around.

Again, you people are strange...

now you may resume your purse/handbag debating, you're keeping me entertained.

 

[illbeleavinnow]

There is no debate. It's a bloody handbag. And redblueyes, don't call us strange, n00b. :-D Ahhh power. Of which I have none....

 

[Jeremy]

I'm fucking european and I don't use women purses... must be a thing from the north. So stop saying european and say north european... cuz they're gay... and we aren't. Oh and Mendez isn't brazilian... he's from Uruguay I think.

 

[Bleakest Harvest]

Mike looks so funny in that pic! What a guy!!
