Hi there people!

[Mikael Åkerfeldt]

How are you doing?
This is my first post, basically just wanna say thanks to you lot for supporting the band. It's pretty interesting to read the threads here sometimes.
I'm busy working with some new music and it's going pretty good!
Guess you all know about the 2Cd plans....

Well, thanks again + cheers
Mike & Opeth

 

[Wolff]

Cheers man.

Congrats on the engagement and good luck on the new album(s).

 

[Mikael Åkerfeldt]

Thanks man!
Don't know yet when we're gonna get married but I guess next year...

 

[Wolff]

That's cool.

(I'd love to see little Åkerfeldts toddling around during a concert)

 

[Mikael Åkerfeldt]

Haha...well not yet, still practising how to make em...

 

[Wolff]

I'm sure you're a talented bloke.

 

[Duvall]

Practice makes perfect.. and it's the most fun part..

 

[Kushantaiidan]

I feel the same way as if I had seen you in real life.. speechless.

Good luck with the album and everything.

And please don't let us scare you.. =)


Rock on!
Love Michael.

 

[~Zeanra~]

I'm speechless too...but extremely happy
Enjoy your stay, hope to see you more often here
And, like everyone else has already said, good luck with the album

hi, congratulations, and thanks for the great tour,.

 

[Salamurhaaja]

WoW

 

[MetalManCPA]

Awesome!

Great to see you join our little group - even if it's just for a post or two.

Anxiously awaiting your next release, as well as a tour near the Boston, MA area (damn - missed you last time!)

 

[Opet]

Still practicing....

Sweet. Yes...congrats on the engagement and on your upcoming release. Looks like things are going well for you and that makes me and all the other Opeth nuts happy in return.

Thanks for following your heart as a musician!

Confessor..
Of the tragedies of man,
Lurking in the core of us all.

Quite a coincidence. If I haven't totally mistaken it, Camel's Moonmadness is one of your favourite albums, Mikael. Well, I'm just listening to it right now for the first time. And how come it be that at the very same time I find out that you've started posting here. Nice coincidence if you ask me!

 

[samoniac]

Oh, I forgot to welcome you (in this thread =). So, welcome and I hope you enjoy chatting with us.

 

[bleed for me]

wow

good luck with the new discs....

btw, is it true that you only rehersed twice before recording BWP? if you're able to produce album of the year with two rehersals, i'd like to see what you could do with three rehersals!

 

[Mikael Åkerfeldt]

We did actually rehearse 3 times for BWP, twice for Still life...it's not really as "amazing" as some seem to think. When you're a band who knows eachother it´'s not that hard really to record.

Thanks for welcoming me to this board, I'll try n check it out more often from now on...

Cheers people

 

[CarcassKreator]

Man, this is bull shit... is this for reall????? erm... are you... Mikael Åkerfeldt???

Somebody is bored i think...

If it actually is YOU - Mikael Åkerfeldt then... HEY love your music!

 

[Wolff]

Why are you such jackasses?

First some "suggests" Opeth should rehearse more (DUH), then someone else doubts the authenticity of Mikael.

What can I say... not the nicest way to impress the big man.

 

[BillowOfZeal]

Welcome to the board.
Thanks for coming to the United States. I saw you play a great set in Atlanta
