I just love how most metal vocalists are extremely cute/good guys offstage (And I love coffee before bed as well)

[@temporarymomentary]

Coldguto Because metal show is like a theatre play.

[@coldguto]

@@temporarymomentary yeah I know, but unfortunately some acts take this theatre to beyond the stage, and that's a problem

[@86faST13]

Hes always sweating and blushing, I feel hes really shy but fights it pretty well.

[@erikarnald419]

Nahh he is just Swedish, We are always sweaty

[@lilleskutt5467]

It's obviously the lighting.

[@kalas-kurt]

A few of these vids are from the same day a few months back, and wether you're right or not he had shit loads of moistrizer on. Sweat would be showing on his neck as well.

[@cykablyat7393]

Erik Arnald you guys also have insane skills behind the wheel. S. Loeb. Enough said.

"I love coffee before I go to bed" my heart melted

[@hanabakhouch8558]

Never stop being you Mikael

[@sualvariv4841]

I'd love to listen to an audio book with his voice. It melts me.

[@Magani79]

I love how funny he is while looking like he is not even trying

[@kaiwood7359]

His accent is all over the place is he Swedish British German Austrian

[@xyhmo]

Just Swedish.

[@jonnykhatru]

Yeah uh just Swedish accent British English

[@callumwelsh1191]

I love him, and his voice is soothing

[@williamreynolds3487]

I love you Mikael

[@xyhmo]

I can't sleep even without coffee.

[@miked4382]

I, for 1, will gladly be a patron of Akerfeldt's Plumbing Services LLC. ...and then get the plumbers autograph when he's done. I wouldn't even care if Mike damaged my plumbing. It'd be worth the experience and the story. "Yeah guys so we can't hang at my place. Lead singer of Opeth fucked my plumbing up....but it was worth it. We just sat and talked bullshit and drank coffee for 8 hours"

[@Funartic]

I'm surprised to see so many people in the comments who enjoy coffee right before bed. I love a good dark coffee, but if I drink that before bed I will probably be staring up at the ceiling for hours.

[@courtneywhite8470]

It puts me to sleep

[@cykablyat7393]

Dark coffee has very little caffeine. It's the lighter roasts that keep you up and get you going. Decaf is weird, though

[@trippy_dragon8726]

I never liked coffe in my life, but I remember that when I was 4/5 I used to ask my mom if she could make me a hot herbal tea each night before bed time so I could sleep easier.

[@Jablan11]

Haha that intro, we can all be like that sometimes

[@skorpionmvv]

Wish this was longer

[@timothypulliam2177]

Mikael could play Dracula in a live action tv show, I would watch that!

[@fadetoblackdude7]

He’s a Bond fan!! Him and I would get along just fine!

[@Drummer_LJ]

he looks like a swedish mix of Weird Al Yankovic & Dave Grohl

[@jaspergillgannon4991]

Wow, that's the perfect mix!

[@lehtokurppa7824]

I had the same answer to the ice cream question. Glad to hear Mikael likes salmiakki.

[@DangBrent]

The finger haha "There's love between us"

[@anonymousceleb1148]

A narcissist usually won't admit it so I'm sure he ain't too bad, or he's really bad, spectrum innit

[@ericforsyth]

He's so narcissistic he couldn't bear being like those other, poser narcissists.

[@riderseanr]

Persona 5 font? Nice

[@upsidedown4155]

I can drink a gallon of coffee and go to bed and sleep like a log, so i'm with you there brother lol

[@nolifeonearth9046]

Nice to hear that. But he hurt me many times.

[@MartinaHorvat-g3g]

How?

[@bjornpersson6595]

Now do Peter Tägtgren next!!

[@thiagocarvalho6134]
