At the Oxford show last week, there was someone constantly letting out a black metal shriek. Apparently, Mikael liked this, and got them to repeat it four or fives times, until their voice went.
Person: arrrgghhhh
Mikael: Again!

I've seen him laugh, let me tell you!
It was at the Swedish Concert now recently. Mike was chatting constantly
about this swedish movie. When he stopped talking to tune his guitar one
fella suddently shouted:
"Blire' nån andre vers, eller?"
That's a line from that famous movie and it was delivered with perfect timing,
with the correct swedish accent; in the silence. I will never be able
to fully translate the fun but it goes a little something like this in english:
"Will there be a second verse, or?"
And the audience bursted into laughter and so did Mike. Never seen them
laugh so much. Mike was looking at Peter who also started laughing.
Think the whole band was laughing with the crowd!
EDIT: Ups! I thought that Cairath ment Mike!

Conclusion: Mike laughs! He's human after all!
Haha...tror dock inte så många fattar grejen här ändå.
When I went to see Opeth at The Forum, Mikael introduced the band,
"We are Opeth. Not Otep!"
Is Martin Mendez's headbanging stupid? I love it. It's the only way i headbang

At their show in Montreal, Mikael kept calling Martin M. a fag and a cunt and whatnot for not headbanging right. And he got the audience to show how to headbang properly. I think Mendez's headbanging is awesome though.

Yeah. To understand the humor in that comment, you'll have to watch the swedish movie "Strul". You probably won't fully appreciate the movie unless you're a swede or have lived in Sweden for a while. However, I do believe that it's still a funny movie even if you're not a swede (if it's translated correctly). You might not understand all the small details though (dialects, typical swedish things, etc). So if you find it, go ahead and watch it.Benighted Joe said:
EDIT: Oh, here's a link to some info about the movie: http://imdb.com/title/tt0096184/
It seems that the international title of the movie is "Framed".

The only Swedish comedy I've seen is Kopps.. and that's quite funny.. we have Swedish movies on tv (free-to-air) here from time to time.. Seen some good ones.

In Montreal, amongst various Burt Reynolds/Gay Sex comments, there was a moment when someone in the crowd yelled "Take your shirt off". Mikael's response was : "Take my shirt off? I wouldn't want to reveal my... pink bra"

In L.A. he said his new name was "Cock". And that Katatonia used to wear blue corpse paint because they didn't have any black.
Disgustipated
Cynical.
In this year's Summerbreeze, Michael admits that he likes Manowar, then asks the crowd "do you still like Manowar over here in Germany?", crowd shouts "YEAH
", he continues with "Kill with power", and all of us naturally replies "die, die
"
