I love how he gets impatient with his own intros
"Sorry"
Lmao top notch
I think the same 😅
"I write a lot of long intros I'm sorry for that" *thinks of ghost of perdition*
@@Mori42069 GHOST OFFFFF
😂😂😂
"Did I write that? That sounds nice" I love this man
Mikael: Did I write this?
Also Mikael: I stole this from ABBA
write something else, bro
@@alejandrocastillo6664 You got this, I recognize talent when I see it, come play something bruh
@@alex-ie8tp "Did you like that? It was ripped of by a band called Camel." is what he said once about Benighted, now he says it was stoled by ABBA. Weird.
Bro, did you write this? Write something else.
1:11 He's got something against the cactuses here - I almost spat my coffee
cacti
I wish I had your lowlife sense of humor, so I could find things funny, that aren't funny at all.
I mean... Mikael did say 'cactuses'
@@cl8804 Oh fuck off will you
...and the weird thing is, i wasn't even drinking coffee
He legit needs his own channel. Very enjoyable and funny.
He does,
I’d watch his stuff.
@@SlyHikari03 damn really?
द।य।क।
It'd ruin his charm. UA-cam was a mistake
That's my piano cover, nice
I feel special 🎹🌹
(Sorceress 2)
Because you are special
Love from shit posting
Nice job on that cover
@@TheCommonBear Thank you for the kind words :) 🌹
@@jaimeecherivel2927 Thanks! Glad you liked it 🌹
Mikael reacting to his own songs.
Also Mikael: *AGAIN A SUPER LONG INTRO*
"I stole this from ABBA
I love him, he's a genius.
Pretty sure it's Camel but what do I know !
It *was* from Camel actually
Sometimes when Mikael is performing live he plays music between his standup comedy sets.
Seriously. Best guy on The mic between songs ive ever heard
Thats definately ripping off Camel's "never let go".
Mikael: Happy music is forbidden!
Also Mikael: Writes the outro to Deliverance in the major scale
Doesnt feel very happy tho does it
@@fabiansanchez7203 Im not sure how it makes me feel
@@fabiansanchez7203 I think because the first part is in Lydian mode so it sounds more weird than happy
Major scale does not equal happiness.
@@beepst Well he said that because the sing cover he was listening to was one of his songs in the major scale... aka a happy song
Mikael: -Happy music is FORBIDDEN.
Steven Wilson: Yes.
Also SW : writes permanating :')
@@_Sylve Permanating with its music video, the irony in that one alone makes it Wilson's most depressing song by stressing how empty the industry really is.
Back on topic, Mikael is so right here! He seems a very nice guy throughout.
@@daanvdwielen8760 "...by stressing how empty the industry really is" huh? how did indian dancers make you think that
@@nezumifluff not straight forward , but if you look at the end of the video steven shuts his piano all of a sudden , which leads that he was just kind of making fun of pop music for a while and that he is back to himself and his original music whereas that pop song was just a splurge of happiness in him.
“Did I write that?? It’s nice...”
🤣
"Her voice is deep, but theres a parrot"
Best thing ive ever heard him say
That's me with the deep death growls
@@ragegrowler8367 you legit scared me and made me recoil with that growling.
Well done, ma'am!!
Going to be my first sentence if i ever write a book.
I legitimately bursted out laughing when he said “but there’s a parrot” a great moment of unintentional comedy.
favourite thing about mikael is the sarcastic, almost "stand-up comedy" he does between songs at live shows. such a great sense of humour!
I’d pay just to hear him talk, honestly.
When you know, you know
"We are called Opeth. We are from Sweden, which I am told, by a waitress from Omaha, Nebraska, is near Europe." - Mikael at a show I attended.
@@9Dunkat Download Festival on the second stage “Hi, we’re Whitesnake”
makes me cringe
3:33 "Her voice is deep... but there's a parrott..."
😂 😂 😂
Should have been a peacock?
Yep I'm in that video.
Nice growls!
What are THINGS I NEVER THOUGHT I’D HEAR MIKAEL AKERFELDT SAY for $500, Alex?
@@GhoulishGrinMedia lol
@@Kuningaz_Kvltist Thanks
Thanks Mikeal for liking my Demon of the fall cover.
Sick!
Was that a budgie or a parrot, though?
@@patriksvensson2360 It was my cockatiel. And I have four birds.
Your vocals are damn brutal, very impressive. Are the birds your backing vocalists through?
@@Estorium I have pet birds and they like music.
"Makes me sound like I actually know what I'm doing" LOL Such a down to earth guy.
Mikael is pretty humble. Most masterminds tend to be.
He starts out one live Harlequin Forest by letting a silence fall over the crowd, and then says:
" I met Bruce Dickenson today."
2:39 I always write these overlong intros, I'm sorry...
These intros are the meaning of life
WE LOVE IT
Which I love so no trouble with that.
Wait... That’s not on purpose? Hahah
The Moor 🤦♂️
"Happy music is forbidden" - Mikael Åkerfeldt
No wonder why Steven Wilson loves you, LOL
DGHSGHS
**Matt playing Windowpane**
"I wonder why picked that song?"
Mikael, it's a masterpiece that's why he picked that song.
He seems so humble about his music even though he’s a genius
For all he's accomplished, Michael remains the humblest person. What a gift.
*He's got something against cactuses here*
This dude seems like he is pretty damn cool
He's the shit
He is amazing.Watch him live talking and you will die from laughts.He is the most funnies guy ever and also very humble
Master Anonim I’ve been to one Opeth show but I overindulged and don’t remember it all.
@@TheMaster4999 check Devin Townsend, he's even more funny) and lovely
Seen him live in Cologne when Heritage came out. "We play a sub genre of metal. It's called shit." He's down to earth but also a good entertainer. They let the music speak for itself, a rare feat in professional musicians of this caliber.
Lol even akerfeldt skips opeth intros sometimes.
2:39
"I always weite these over-long intros. Sorry"
Dont be sorry sir. Those intros are a big part of what makes Opeth special. ❤
Its gotta be a 1300 bucks guitar
We recorded on 2 $ guitar pretty much
I was in this video
@@ragegrowler8367 Hey Brigid. Nice and deep gutturals you got there! Looks like your birds enjoy your singing, too. 😉
@Kanwer Vikram Haha! :) 🇮🇳🇮🇳🤘
चुत्तड़ चुख ले
@@267abhishek good for you!
Deliverance / Damnation era Opeth is one of the greatest musical things ever.
I agree
Wreath is a masterpiece
Oh man, i would love hanging out with him, he seems a chill funny guy.
4:42 happy music is forbidden.
Hahaha this man is so funny.
Imagine hangout in a bar with Mikael.
“Her voice is deep there’s a parrot” Mikael Akerfeldt-2019
"I can't even remember my own song." I can only imagine how difficult it can be to remember all that intricate music like that over all these years.
"I know him a little" - The Trivium fan in me has found validation of the highest degree.
"That's the singer........preparing himself". Said with a straight face cracked me up! Love you Mike!
1 dislike is from Mike Portnoy bc he can't get Akerfeldt to collaborate with him
😁
🤣
Neither could Devin Townsend.
Did he mention that he's in 19 bands at the moment
@@conterooski But none with Akerfeldt.
I love you so much Mikael, you are a genius and your music always touches my heart. Even you don’t know me, I always feel like you are with me and singing for me. Thank you for your music.
berkay o kadar duygusal yazmışsın ki ağlayasım geldi yemin ederim
Mikael is, along with Devin, the most likeable metalhead of all time.
Mea culpa...
Ever seen an interview with Tom Araya?
Same goes to Mikael stanne
@@Thrasher_Abbatoir All these Mikaels out there... Dark Tranquillity is great... I had to sing something in front of the class and I chose "Forward Momentum" by them
Matt Heafy has entered the chat
Zlatan and Mikael, thank you Sweden.
Yes 😂👍
And Millencolin 😁🤙🏼
4:47 I love how he says that x). It's like if he was on stage and announced the song, and it also hints how he's proud of this album.
I love Mikael 😄 he's hilarious and such a down to earth guy.
Met him a few years ago, I took my daughter to their 25th anniversary show, we were chatting about our daughters tastes in music and how he was forced to endure one direction 😂
6:13 his speaking voice reaches for a milisecond the note of the backing track. I thought he was gonna start singing it hahahhaha
"That's the singer......preparing himself.." fucking lmao at that part 😂
Mikael is hilarious. Love his banter between songs during the Opeth shows, Priceless!!!
Opeth is phenomenal🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
to the folks that don't feel like he's impressed: he's Swedish. they're VERY understated
Always lovely to see him having fun!
Mike is always so funny. He has one of the driest sense of humor I've ever encountered. Waiting breathlessly for the new album later this month!
He’s seemingly the most down to earth rock star out there. Would be cool to meet him.
" I always write these over long intros. Sorry". lol
"Did I write that? Sounds nice" - Mikael, 2019
So good of you, time fly'eyes. Merry Christmas
That was great!! I would have loved to see it uncut! I don’t care how many hours.
I love this man so much
*When you get Facebook notification of your memories 5 years ago*
5:57 "I can't watch myself, like a fucking young spotty kid."
He's such a cool d00de. Talent and humility, that's THE GUY.
Mikael is amazing. I have always loved the intro's man. As much as I understand people change and get older and their music changes. The music he made around ghost reveries time was the greatest music ever. I loved how his songs would go from soft and melodic and transition into heavy only to return to the melodic sounds. He will always be one of my favorite musician's of all time. I love the fact that he is a fun and well spoken guy as well.
Mikael, you're one of the best voices in metal world and Opeth is one of my favorite bands. keep up the awesome work!!!
"It'§ like a Videö, swörds and Şhit"
Man Pretty cool having him react to the that final video I’ve watched that whole thing dozens of times. Mikes just really cool ab everything haha I always picture him as the big name opeth guy but it’s cool seeing him so regular people things too
Mikael!! The last time I was really into metal was back when watershed was released. Now I'm been reminded with all these new videos and channels hes on.
I could watch you all day my friend, genius at work,lol
Que simpático video !!👍me gusta mucho la banda .
I loved how Michael kept explaining each of his observations and thoughts on each of the songs..
This man
Love him and his music
I cant watch any interview/or video of this type without bursting in laugh due to his high level sarcasm and that "I am fckin troll" face XD
Mikael cracks me up man lmao... Alot of his persona and antics on stage when I seen em here in Canada too. HeavyTO, a killer lineup so I wasn't sure how Opeth would hold up but they did wonderful. They're fanbase is incredibly dedicated. The woman actually sounded like him 🤣 WOW and THAT parrot... Whoa Matt Heavy right on! Lol this video's killer
Mikael is awesome. I cannot wait to see Opeth live someday!
He’s one of a kind!! Hails from NYC!
everyone probably already knows this but the other cover that matt heafy (of trivium) did of opeth was harvest
Thank you for SHOWING HIM IN MIST SHE WAS STANDING, HOPE HE PLAYS IT LIVE AGAAAINN
Thanks Mikael and MetalSucks
I love the way Mikael act because it reminds me a lot! The "i wrote this? Its good" or "i can't watch myself"
I love it! I wish he reacted to some more harsh vocals and gived some advices and opinions
I'm shocked about the Harvest cover. I loved that cover, and Xanthochronoid is amazing.
I didn't think I could have any more respect for Mikael, but the fact hes in a workshop has made me love this guy even more
He’s gotta watch the video of the two kids playing isolation years at their talent show that was so good
It's weird watching 'underground' bands I grew up with like Opeth and Cradle Of Filth become more and more reknown over the years. Thanks Intermet.
Most pleasant accent there ever was, especially the soft L's.
They sound like regular L's to me, please show me an example of hard L's, or L's! (hah)
@@afz902k I think Ivelina is talking about light Ls which are "soft" and dark(velarised) Ls.
In Swedish, they pronounce a light L.
@@afz902k Listen to an American say a word such as "lottery" and listen to Arnold say "Come with me if you want to Live". Take their average. Profit.
Great The Heard Shirt! We toured with Crucified Barbara in the US. Great folks and great tunes!
I wish you'd dig up that old song for your next tour, In Mist She Was Standing is probably my favorite!
Mikael is a really cool dude.
Because of this video I decided to to try and imitate his growls and make a short Ghost of Perdition clip of it since his scream/growls have always been some of my favorites due to how ''fine'' the distortion from his voice sounds. I'm really quite happy with the growls since I seem to use the same sort of technique to produce them... now... to start on the cleans lmao.
"Happy music is forbidden." - Mikael
I love his reaction to the Happy Metal guys' version of Grand Conjuration. I had a similar reaction.
When you see this and remember that you’ve closed your Opeth cover’s privacy settings 😪
I’m not a socialist,lol. I’m an introvert.That’s different
Its because Matt Heafy wants to get chicks back stage.
nice reference
I'm gonna watch this guy live in 2 months 😭😭 can't just wait
I would really like to learn to play the Hope Leaves. Such a beautiful song.
"Did I write that? It's nice." - Mikael 2019
Mikael sees Matt Heafy
"I know him a little"
"I wrotr", "istole" "i like more my version", "my song".. I .. I ... and more I, definitely he is an Aries!!! Love him .
LOVE YOU MIKAEL❤❤❤❤
I wish they played In mist she was standing live. Its such an amazing song from beginning to end.
Best off orchid hands down!
I love how relatable Mikael can be
Jordan Guthrie!! 🤘🏻
he should have way more subs, his growls are perfect and his guitar skills are freaking awesome
Love this man
Only because there is lyrics in the song, does not mean everybody is focusing or awaiting them. In fact, those long Intros opened my mind for instrumental parts and that repetitions are no circles but spirals
1:33 give that Girl a record label
"23 years ago" Yeah when you created the best music of all time
Wish this was longer!
Matt Heafy! Yep, he also covered Harvest before. My favorites!!
