Some gems from last night:

The first time he introduces the band:
Tonight, I am gonna get fucked up on alchohol
*yeah!!!*
Peter Lindgren is gonna get fucked up on alchohol
*yeah!!!*
Martin Mendez is fucked up
*yeah!!!*
Axe is a fucker
*yeah!!!*
And Per is gonna fuck.....me
*yeah!!!*

Mike: This is gonna be our last song
Crowd: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Mike: Yes
Crowd: NO
Yes
No
Yes
No
Mike: No
Crowd: NO!
then he just had the look of "I give up" on his face.

The second time he introduced the band, he told us to cheer for each one after he introduces them, but not too loudly - but when we come to him we should make a lot of noise.
When he got to Axe he said: "The guy behind the drums it the reason we're here tonight"
Crowd: YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHH!!!
Mike: "hey, he's not that good. Anyway, give it up for.... DEVESTATOR!"

Mike: You know, we can see that you really wanted us to be here, and we also wanted to come, so we're very happy to be here. Plus, we're getting paid.

that second time he introduced Mrs. Martin Mendez, Swedish National (something) Champion Peter Lindgren, don't remember how he introduced Per, Introduce Axe as Devastator and Introduced himself as Bubba Smith.

Mikeal: we are going to do a heavy metal quiz, i'm going to play a riff and u have to guess the song

*Plays smoke on the water*
the crowed shouts: "Smoke on the water!!!"

*plays paranoid*
the crowed shouts: "Paranoid!!!"

*plays the last in line*
the crowed shouts: "Last in line!!"

[biggsy]

[Serhan_pnr]

i saw them live just once in Ankara for GR tour. and we played the riff game it was really fun

 

[nadavnaz]

Mike: "This next song..."

Someone in the crowd who knew the setlist for the tour: "DELIVERANCE!"

"Now that you say that we're going to play an acoustic version of Smoke On The Water"
and the band started to play Smoke On The Water

LOOL

 

[nadavnaz]

Umm, Isn't that Deliverance? That is a line taken from the song Deliverance:

deliverance
thrown back at me

deliverance
laughing at me

no kidding -_-

Mikael seemed quite nervy and wasn't really cracking jokes on the Lamentations DVD, so is this something that has developed since then, or was he just restraining himself for the DVD show because he knew the cameras were on him?

I suppose he was restraining himself cause of the DVD..

He wanted to give the world a more serious apperance probably, or maybe the directors simply asked him to

 

[NubianGoddess]

^I agree

When the dvd was filmed he still wasn't telling jokes like he does now. The tours following the release of GR was when he became the comedian.
