[@zeppelin8]

Bruce Dickinson and Mikael Åkerfeldt were in the same room? I'm surprised that it didn't explode out of sheer awesomeness!

[@lucasstruna3962]

this is a dream come true for me when i first found this there both in my 2 favorite bands

[@AndreOsokin]

"Oh did he fly me in his plane?" (c) In Live Concert At Royal Albert Hall

[@lavergaarrecha]

came here for this!

[@Jin.Yoon.]

I met Bruce Dickinson today (He mentioned this with the most beautiful voice ever before he played Harlequin Forest at Shephard Bush Empire)

[@Irquiois]

Two of my favourite bands' frontmen in one interview. I am stunned, holy shit.

[@TheKevlar4]

Bruce and Mikael in the same room is too much for me. Is it even possible to have this much awesome in the same room? The best clean vocalist in metal and the best growler in metal in the same room!

[@eglemungarrog.8869]

Same

[@maltmoments1242]

mikael is NOT the best growler in metal.

[@joeyzmigrodski3671]

@@maltmoments1242 in his prime, yes he is

[@maltmoments1242]

@@joeyzmigrodski3671 nah sorry there are so many fucking growlers sooooooooooo many he's good maybe one of the best but not the best.

[@Rachelnymetal]

Mikael's voice is gorgeous even speaking. His "regular" voice is velvet and dreamy

[@SirJamestheIII]

both are in my top 5 voices of heavy metal

[@PhoenixDecim]

"Yeah yeah, I know; but..yeah yeah..you know.." 1:20

[@Edazer]

I like the part where Mikael said "You know?"

[@Eturnal718]

Mikael Åkerfeldt: "you got any cracks?" Bruce Dickinson: "*gibberish*...smoke it then repair it" CLASSIC INTERVIEW!!!

[@Ueichen]

I liked how they exchanged stories and laughed a lot, I can see this becoming a significant friendship

[@DDickinson458]

This makes me long for the golden era of Opeth. Still I will eternally love Åkerfeldt for the 8 absolute masterpiece albums they released.

[@bloomcry]

"You know, basically I am shitting my fan-boy pants while talking to, you know, Bruce f. Dickinson!!!"

[@curtischin1458]

You know? You know? You know?

[@TNastyD]

I cant fucking take it. hahaha

[@jordankelsomusic]

if it was a drinking game you would be fucked lol

[@TheCrimsonBudgie]

Bruce actually knows

[@besimmiftari557]

my two music heroes..

[@Arik1989]

Mikael you know, has... you know kinda lost his accent you know... Good for him, maybe you know, Steven Wilson, you know - gave him lessons... You know. Do you know?

[@abigaillkruss8823]

Hahaha yeah the Steven Wilson's influence

[@glacier2win]

Awesome interview.

[@_Erendis]

Closed captions misheard Opeth as Opus. That's the best thing ever.

[@lucasstruna3962]

this is a dream come true for me when i first found this there both in my 2 favorite bands

[@Clark_Films_anim]

Is bruce still doing this show? He's really great.

[@Failhaid]

nope, it existed from 2002-2010....after that the BBC axed the show from their programm as far as i know...but yeah, it was a great show, bruce really did a great job ;-)

[@Haniel-tu2ld]

This is awesome!!! Bruce Dickinson and Mikael Akerfeldt!!!!! Mikael's voice is a little bit scarying.

[@alexstadius8942]

..holy shit.this was 11 years ago?!?WOOOUUU!!

[@jacksonthrasher]

"entertaining his brain" definitely a line to use

[@petercarlson811]

Mikael "You know" Akerfeldt

[@abigaillkruss8823]

Hahaha

[@blppt]

He was probably fanboying, lol

[@w-james9277]

"Oputh" LOL!

[@NeroAngelo616]

I really wished that Bruce interviewed the Amon Amarth guys.

[@henrywalton5967]

The way he says 'Opuf' is bothering me haha

[@judasiscariot383]

6:40 It's the same in England isn't it? "English reserve/Stiff upper lip"

[@trichila6397]

The two best men in the world

[@sheekorah]

there it was.... embedded in the top of somebody's mercedes :) Fantastic interview

[@Edazer]

@Tibererer LAWL... I noticed that, too..

[@vincentjurg]

Annoying interviewer. Just joking. Two of my heroes together.

[@SB-jc7wz]

veronica magazine did a article on the stool throwing, blaming it fully on Dave Murray with picture and all. said it was a television.

[@Jarbizu800]

A long time ago, hard rock and heavy metal were interchangeable terms. I'd still call them progressive metal/rock.

[@lucasstruna3962]

zero dislikes yeaaaaaaaaaaaa!

[@SirJamestheIII]

@MulletMan3108 russell allen may also be on the list for me

[@viridianloom]

They're just flatly classified as metal and they say that themselves. Although now they want to move in a nostalgic rock direction.

[@munsterr777-iz2ow]

What about Bathory? Dark Funeral? Cool interview.

[@HMUnderground666]

You can probably get a crack if you chuck it out a window, u know? HAIL Maiden and Opeth -3

[@dragonblaze1991]

@4:22 HOLY SHIT THATS ME!!!!

[@BlackRoseImmortal]

@vigcs thats what I understood from it

[@lucasstruna3962]

nice name Opeths best song

[@BlackenedThunder]

progressive death metal is also heavy metal. heavy metal is the name of the genre.

[@rbnh9827]

"You know? you know ? you know ? you know ? you know ?" "I fuckin' know you damn swede"

[@thesigma_andtheligma]

Why does fredrick look like dimebag darrel. On the alligator

[@Pilgrimatthegreyofdawn]

Well, maybe he means those bands aren't quite as popular in Sweden.

[@lucasstruna3962]

i wonder if Mikael knows Ghost

[@belastian1974]

lucas struna He does, he even plays the acoustic guitar on "Helvetesfönster" on the new Ghost album.

[@heavymeteller75]

the fuck is "a squillion?"

[@lavergaarrecha]

hahaha you know.. you know hahahaha you know HAHAHAHAHAHA you know HAHAHAHAHAHAHA you know

[@fantastic_joe]

Never heard Bruce talk before, his voice sounds weird.
