its all good baby.

l to r (steven wilson, mikael, and greg massi)
 
I remember when that fiasco went down, I stopped visiting the Opeth board, but had never even heard maudlin of the Well at that point. :)
 
basically, my friend katie(bigfakesmile) and i went to go see opeth in RI back in July. She had the in's with the band that night and after the show we got to hang out for a bit on opeth's tour bus and steven wilson came on for a bit and right before we had to leave we managed to get our pictures taken with mikael and steven.

mikael was a genuinely awesomely nice guy.
 
Actually, it almost looks like your making some kind of sarcastic face... Like you're thinking "Yeah, like you guys really deserve to pose with me!", with maybe a "pshaw" and/or a "bosh" thrown in for good measure.

You better be careful doing that man, those guys are already fed up with you and I bet they could beat you up.
 
well you can think i am being sarcastic but the truth is that i really liked hanging out with those guys. i have no problem with opeth and this pic was intended to show that. mikael was honestly one of the nicest band guys i had ever met. very kind, and very willing to talk and hang out and joke around.

so if people want to read something negative into the picture they can feel free but there is no ill intent on my part in that picture. it was a wonderful time all around.

Heh, I hope you weren't taking me too seriously :eek: Actually from the few interviews I've read, he does seem pretty cool and nice and so on. I would actually be pretty surprised if there was some bad blood in either band, as y'all seem like some hep cats (not that I know anyone to really know for sure...)

But still I bet they could beat you up. 2 against 1, man.
