Mikael Åkerfeldt interview, 2005 (4 of 5)

[MrIndustrialWater]

Everyone's complaining about the interviewer and i can see why, but he must be doing something right. These faceculture interviews are always great.

[mariusel666]

this guy has a great personality

[BadButNotSad]

0:55 - 1:08

LOL

[doppelgaenger1]

the interviewer is really annoying and asks really obvious questions. he should ask something worthwhile instead of just asking questions when the answer is so obvious. what a douche.

[NY1902]

say what you want about the interview, i still think it's one of the better interviews.

[hardheadbang]

the interviewer is an asshole

[xsonusstudios]

I dont think the interviewer is bad...but he seems out of place...like maybe he usually interviews Rod Stewart or something. However, Mikael definitely shows how charismatic he is by holding the entire interview together...this interview could have gone very badly with a band with a bigger ego or attitude.

[MagusGod]

DAMMIT! Just at the part of religion, it cuts out. Is that fixable? :*(

[Setri123]

He is an atheist When he talks about the devil or something in a song,most times are metaphors

[Helghast2007]

dude what cigarettes does he smoke?? ive been trying to figure out for some reason :p

[SRNF]

"Yea....thats right"

[pinksideofthefloyd]

"Deliverance. A very good album. Damnation is fantastic."

I'm not gonna argue with that, Mikael.

[WalClaypool]

"it was the hottest, nicest summer in 3000 years in sweden, and there was windows. there was one small window with bars so we could be like "let me out"." lol that was funny

[indigobam]

Piece of mind is awesome I love how he brought that classic Maiden in.

[NaveedIqbal]

haha, whenever the word "technical" comes out of him; his fingers go wierd shapes on a fretboard, haha!

[metalllovergirl]

did Mikael write about satanism?!

[emericashoes]

im not sure he says hes not a satanist which is aweseome DOWN WITH SATAN

[derArier]

he personaly didnt answer, but I think stieve said it..

"u can't worship satan and make some evil rituals and then 5 minutes after go and write "isolation year"".

I agree with him..

just listen to "to bid you farewell" etc...

[emericashoes]

what about to bid you farewell ?? i listen to it what should i be looking for?

[derArier]

one cant write such a beautifull song, and worship the devil.

Musik is the reflection of the soul.

[DunderQBrak]

What FUCKING difference does it make?

Religion is a SHELL.

He sure as hell aint christian.

And that's closure.

[jotunmarty]

why did you call this album ghost reveries ?? why ?? why ?? PLEASE!! i hope he was paid for this interview. when you become big and well respected like Mikael you should not have to put up with interviews like this one.. put i learnt alot from it so thanks for posting!.

[Soilwar]

lol "it sounds cool" Mikael is great!

[AchillesStandsOn]

Amazing that his opinions on Deliverence, Damnation, and Ghost Reveries are the same as mine. Deliverence is rushed and unpolished, Damnation is simple but brilliant, and Ghost Reveries RULES! OPETH!

[tefanK]

Thanks a lot for posting these interviews, the interviewer is a fucking moron though, but Micke rules as allways

[Fiskegrateng]

Yeah, I know. ^^ Mikael rules! \m/

[SwiftCracker]

whoa he smokes !! and to think my mate says smoking ruins a singer's voice lol

[altoza]

who knows what he would have been able to do if hadn't smoked at all? (same goes for formal training)

[matt999tye]

cool, there aren't many interviews with Mikael

[Fiskegrateng]

I know! =)

[Opethvince]
