Mikael's live quotes

Epic thread! Makes me want to see them even more! To bad they won't come to Serbia or anywhere nearby.

 

They are coming to Romania this summer.

 

From Roundhouse Tapes:

"Time for; porn music.What do you reckon, is this the bj scene or the anal scene?"

Cracks me up all the time.

 

Bits from Moscow

- We are Opeth and we're from Sweden. Yes, Sweden that kicked your russian asses a couple of times in ice hockey. There are also some cool bands in Sweden: Abba, Opeth... well, that's all you have to know.

Mike is introducing next song. I know the set-list, so I shout: "Credence". Mike:
- Fuck the internet. Actually I'm a bit internet-addictive man. 'Cause there's porn!

And Saint-Petersburg:

- Next year will be 20 years of the band! Actually we're sickening. Do we look old?

- We were on train from Moscow this night. We had a couple of beers and I went to sleep, of course. But other guys had some vodka. And there were two ladies out there. They said that they love to suck cocks, yes.

- Here's Axe! There's no light on his kit because he asks about it. He say: "I have to be in the dark, I'm too evil!"

 

Here in Chile, Mike was about to play the acoustic/audience harvest/drapery falls. He started with something like:

"OK, get your lighters out. Or your cellphones. Whatever it is you use here. I want this to look like it's 1987 and we're fucking Bon Jovi"

And also introducing Martin Mendez:

MA: "What's his name?"
Us: "MARTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNN!"
MA: "What's his last name?"
Us: "MENDEZZZ!!!"
MA: "1 2 3 "
Us: "Mendez!"
MA: "1 2 3 "
Us: "Mendez!"
MA: "1 2 3 fuck"
Us: "Mendez!"
MA: "1 2 3 fuck"
Us: "Mendez!"
MA: "I think he'll just change names!" (not sure about this one)

. First Martin says hello, and then Mike clowns it up .

 

Thanks for that info man! I somehow didn't see it on their website, but now I checked again and the date is there - 17th - Art Mania Festival, Sibiu - ROMANIA.

Not going to miss that one, that's for sure!

 

I had a feeling Mendez would do some talking

 

It's "Actually he just changed his name" I think.

 

An Improvised ballad from Mike when he was in Chile was something like this:
Thank you.... so fucking much... i really love youu....
Thank you... so fucking muchh.... i want to fuck... you...

 

I think it was: "Maybe we'll just change names" or something along those lines. He meant (I assume) to do the same sort of thing with the other band members' names.

 

In Buenos Aires, Argentina, Deliverance trainwreck, the band stops playing:

"You know what is it called? It's called a trainwreck. And when these things happen we don't give a f-ck. We just play it again from the beginning"

That was funny!

 

Bump because we are in the middle of a US tour

 

He told a pretty funny story at the SF show:

"And now the drummer... Axe. You know he told me this story the other day. It's a bit vulgar so I'm sorry... He was fucking this chick on a toilet while in a club and the owner didn't like it so he busted open the stall door and threw him out. Then he told me that he went back about a week later... and took a shit in the sink."

Also in between songs the guys next to me where yelling for Mikael and he said in this rocker voice thing:

"Yeah I'm tunin'! I'm tunin'! Can ya feel it?"

... that was probably the funniest thing all night actually. He told some other jokes but they were pretty erk-worthy.

 

Saw them here in Cincinnati a year ago and the lights kept making his pickups buzz.

*looks confused at the crowd* "You hear that?"
*crowd says yes*
"Apparently it's the lights. What the fuck? How does that even happen?"
*plays The Lotus Eater*
*walks back and forth towards the lights*
"Hear it still?"
*yeah*
"It's like a fart." *bends over and moves forward* "An electric fart!"

 

Maybe this thread should be stickied???

(Electric Fart LMAO)

 

Avalon in Hollywood 05/16

Before encore: "I told Mendez backstage that tonight was the night. This is the night that he finally gets to sing 'I Remember You' by Skid Row"

 

also at both of those \m/

 

The Newport on 5-23-09

"This is Martin Mendez over here. Since we started getting bigger, his ego has gotten enormous. He told me that I had to introduce him tonight... Before every song. He also told me he is no longer Martin. He is The King Of All Bass Players."

"How many of you are into death metal? I like it very much. When you move from metal into death metal, you start getting a lot of shit. People think you worship the devil, and they say you look like a girl. I tell them, I'm no girl, I'm a demonic transvestite."

(Introductions)
"Over here is the lead guitar player. He is big with the ladies. Want to know why? His guitar is an extension of his dick. And he is going to jack off for you right now. Ladies and Gentleman, Fredrik" (Plays SICK solo)

After it a guy yells "NOW WHO ARE YOU?!"

"Me? I'm god. I'm him. You have all been blessed here tonight...*cheers*... Ok, some of you are going to take that seriously.... You're going to get me in deep shit."

 

I don't remember any good quotes but here is a story he told us at the live in Athens 10/4 <3

enjoy

 

"(...) but it started trying to lick my cock" "And I let it, it was very nice"
