Opeth isn't a metal band anymore????

I agree with mexicola on that one. I always viewed Mike as a hippie. An angry hippie...but a hippie nonetheless. Opeth make hippies metal!!! Evil is just a mindset.

He is not an evil dude !!he just has some dark thoughts than anyone else has, but mike knows how to express them through his music !!!

You think he actually thinks those things? They're just lyrics. And most of the time they make no damn sense. At least if he were thinking them they make no sense in that context, so he would be like mentally retarded if he thought in that way. Not to say the lyrics are retarded, they're not. But in the context of a person thinking "her voice is vast and achromatic!" That's just not normal.

^ in the making of deliverance and damnation documentary, Mike said that he writes lyrics about things happened in his life, or to close friends,he surround them with some kinda story and then he writes the lyrics.

I know a couple of OG hippies (they went to the original Woodstock), and they are some of the angriest people I have ever met.

Most of that shows through in their intolerance. Usually for new things... intolerance for new types of music, experimental television shows, etc. I chalk that up to them being old, but they will fucking scream your head off if you're playing something like Opeth... even if it's in your car and you're giving them a ride!

Lol nice! Mike's def what i'd consider new age hippie. I mean look at what the man listens to. Prog and psychedelia...old 60's 70's psych. He's def a hippie. Throw a little death metal in there and he's an angry hippie.+:Smokin:=:Smokedev:

You can always turn your life into a horror story.

Btw, I think Åkerfieldt/Opeth could be called "gothic hippie" -music.


Actually I think I'm a gothic hippie nerd who likes sports and arts.

I dont really listen to metal anymore but i still enjoy playing it, it gives you a different perspective, if its good or bad i dont know, its just different.
