Two in One Opeth Interview Reaction | Mikael Åkerfeldt & Joakim Svalberg, aka Keyboard Guy

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

Working Title: Falling in Love with Two Swedish Men in Under 15 Minutes :)

[@fancotasargentina8165]

Not only Mikael seems like a good guy, he is also the funniest frontman ever. If he quits music (I hope not) he should be a stand up comedian

[@Bobbias]

He's legitimately hilarious. Such a fun guy.

[@MattVogt2]

Devin Townsend is the only competition. Different styles of comedy though 😂

aguante opeth wacho

[@fancotasargentina8165]

@@Opethfannumberone seeee papá, Opeth es una masa!

[@markblaauw4961]

He's just a very modest guy with both feet on the ground. That's lovable. I love the sobriety. One of the nicest guys in metal. I think Joachim is basicly the same where it comes to modesty. Nice vid 😃

[@milton1448]

He's so humble....and so cool. Thanks!

[@emmanuelcalderon1982]

In the video when Mikael was talking about his influences he mentions Chuck Schuldiner. He has to be one of the MOST influential musicians in extreme music. His band Death and another band Possessed are often credited as being the first death metal bands. Some of the production may be a bit dated and I know you're tackling a lot of reactions as is, but it would be cool to see a reaction to Death at some point.

He has a great speaking voice! Very nice! He played Misfits covers?!?! I've been a fan forever. How cool! David Coverdale is or was the singer for Whitesnake. I can't remember what else I wanted to say, of course. Lol! Thanks for the fun bonus video. : ) Hi Mocha 🐱

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

HI :D I ❤️ 🎹🧍‍♂️

[@deminybs]

Maybe 😏

[@floridabelle]

We're in the same boat. Not only do I love to hear him sing, I love to hear Mikael talk. That's why I've watched the first video many times, as well as TONS of others. I know you love him as much as I do, and you're cool af, but bummer for you, I claimed him for myself a while ago. 🤣 ❤ ya Lauren!

[@emmalinn]

Loved the video it was a little different but great. Opeth and keyboard guy was at Sweden Rock today. There is 4k video up of it.

[@hexus358]

-Mellotron. Mellotron! Mellotron? -"...and of course, the Mellotrons." 😂

[@16dbuse]

"Look at him, with his little cup " lol I'm glad you went a little deeper, these interviews are kind of a nice look into shit you would never know.

[@josephipatzi2568]

He mentions Chuck Schuldiner of the band Death. Legendary musician, legendary band. Not a single bad record, song, riff. You should do some reactions to their music 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@MikaTarkela]

Btw you should definitely check out Opeth's "In My Time Of Need" this one's a great version: " Live 2018 (1080p)". The keyboard guy is also singing in this one :)

[@morlokkurak4763]

If you can get a hold of a copy of the Lamentations DVD, it has a documentary about the recording of both Damnation Deliverance albums. It has behind the scenes, interviews and recordings sessions. I have it myself and I think you would very much enjoy it. Love your show, Lady L 😎

[@mumbles1015]

The accent with singing vs talking, same with Ozzy and Max from Soulfly. I’m sure countless others too. I think I had an idea of an answer once, but I don’t remember anymore. You could check out some Bloobath with Michael on vocals.

[@progperljungman8218]

Anything Opeth you do just turns out lovely! 😍

[@heavymetalmusicofdestructi3430]

awesome

[@zulfahmi9651]

U should react Mikael's banter on stages too!!! 😂😂😂

[@sanbilge]

You've GOT TO react to Mikael's interview with Nardwuar, the Canadian...clown. You get to see another side of Mikael that you never see in other interviews.

[@circulation69]

Always nice when your heroes are still human despite all the success and adulation 😀 Just another reason to love Opeth. Talking of loving Opeth, and with reference to the In Caudia Venunum album, there's many good tracks on that album but I think the best is actually the so called "ballard" on the album entitled Lovelorn Crime, definitely worth checking out. Ps, here's the link to Blackwater Park live.... come on Lauren, ya know you want to 🙃 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZW6c2pjqrFmnKc

[@lindacoy7165]

Keyboard guy with that little “Hi!” 😁. And another example of a beloved singer that became the singer because everybody else called “not it”. LOL

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

Not to give anything away but you will definitely be seeing that Hi again. :D

[@vanyipeter]

Please check out one of the "Opeth Record Store Day Performance" videos. Or maybe all of them.

[@ShadyLurker84]

You need to react to Mikael at Amoeba, picking out his favourite records. He's awesome in that video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rpbHiq1nq7-KqaM And also regarding bass guy they have a vlog where he's not interviewed, but some of his personality comes out. They're at an amusement park riding the attractions, and he hates it! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGq3eoaJZ9B3m7c

[@M4EOzzy]

Such a great What's In My Bag segment from Amoeba. I go back to it from time to time just to re-watch and listen to him talk about music he loves.

[@aleclamb-venecia4838]

please react to The Garotter

[@sputhoor96]

React to napalm death then? I'd suggest if the truth be known. Also there's a funny Jim Carrey interview where he talks about napalm death. You should watch that. He calls them thrash metal, but that's ok.
