In Toronto, he kept cracking Celine Dion jokes (She is a singer from canada, the on hwo did the main theme from the movie Titanic). Then he said "Well we've got a surprise Toronto, we've brought Celine Dion on tour with us!", and pointed to Peter. Spotlight went on Peter as well.
Mikael is awesome at making the crowd laugh.
At the last show, he said "I'd fuck you all because I love you guys so much"
and he went on about how "Deliverance" was supposed to be the soundtrack for a gay porn movie. Freakin hilarious.
And he kept calling Martin M. a cunt for not headbanging right.

on the 04 aus tour, in sydney... just before playing the moor:
"this next song is from our "still life" album... it is called *pauses*... paranoid!"
*begins playing the black sabbath riff*
i laughed.
he also got lopez to play a 4/4 drum beat, then mendez came in about 4 bars later with the billie jean bass line... again, i laughed.

Saw them at Cologne, Essen and now Utrecht 2 days ago and everytime it was like comedy + Opeth. I almost enjoyed the parts between the songs as much as the music itself.
In Utrecht he demanded the audience to answer 3 questions correctly, else they would leave out the last song. The three questions were 1) what is the name of Iron Maiden's bass player, 2) what was Iron Maiden's first record called and 3) how do you say Iron Maiden in turkish. He found that 3) was too hard and changed it from turkish to swedish. It seems he was fine with the answer 'Iron Maiden' and stated that the main prize for this succesfully done quiz would be Martin Mendez naked. Martin was a bit shy, what a pity. Instead of getting a gay show we got the last track and everybody was fine with that too.
In Essen, someone shouted 'where's your drummer?', aiming at the missing Martin Lopez. Mike looked around disorientated and said 'he's right behind me?'... that was so fucking funny, I think I can't really explain how good it was. It's just that kind of joke who works one time at the given situation and then seems just odd.

well, on the lamentations dvd, Mike goes like... oh spit, you allready know that
loco: heys, I'm KjeXXXer, pleased to be here. )
loco: heys, I'm KjeXXXer, pleased to be here. )When I last saw them, after about the second song Mike was standing there listening to everyone shout out the names of songs they wanted played and he said "We've decided to play every song we've ever recorded... *applause break* Three times in a row... *applause break* Followed by a cover of 'Ice Ice Baby' *and the crowd goes wild*"
When introducing "In My Time of Need" and asking the audience to sing along he said there was a sniper in the back waiting to shoot anyone who sang off key.
They also did the bit when introducing "Blackwater Park" with the drum beat and Martin playing Billie Jean. That was hilarious.

At the Oxford, England gig:
"This is Martin (Menedz). He has painful memories of something this shaped", then Mikael pointed to his microphone!!
Mikael is a really entertaining frontman. His banter with the audience is really natural. I can't wait to see Opeth again next time they tour.

In Stockholm, apart from the internal swedish jokes, he also said something like this before playing The Grand Conjuration:
We've recently released a single, it had to be taken down to around 3 minutes. Today, we're not gonna play the 3 minute version for you. Instead we'll play the original... 32 hour version!

Mikaels reply to the "Mikael the New Jesus" thread was one of the most hilarious things I have ever read.

He did something like that in the Tampa show on the 12th.
He was going over drum beats with us and having us headbang to them.
After it was done he's like "Ok, now I want you to do the same thing with more emotion and energy...but for 30 minutes."
