OPETH Frontman: \'I Felt Like A Fatter, Uglier And Less Talented MARIAH CAREY\'



zoom
Guitarist/vocalist Mikael Åkerfeldt of Swedish progressive metallers OPETH has issued the following update:

"I just got back home from Tel Aviv, Israel where we had an amazing show! Loved it! We played a bit funky (not as in swinging, more as in a bit 'shit'), but it was alright. Crowd was AWESOME! Loud, big and steaming HOT!

"On top of things, downing a few cold beers on the beach around midnight in 22 degrees celcius is NOT bad, when it's November, and you're...Swedish.

"Yuri (promoter) took great care of us. I even had red roses in my room and a little plate of fruit plus two showers. It was extravagant. I felt like a fatter, uglier and less talented Mariah Carey.

"Anyways, we also just recently finished the Progressive Nation Euro tour with our buddies DREAM THEATER, BIGELF and UNEXPECT. It was a great nice tour and we had many good shows. I can't say which one was the best, but it was certainly amazing to play Hovet in our hometown [Stockholm]. It's where we all used to go and see metal shows in the '80s. Love that place, but I admit, when we're up there, I was feeling like.... 'OK, whatever.' It was like any stage, really. Wembley arena was cool too. Spektrum in Oslo, that place in Rome. Ahoy in Rotterdam....several kick-ass venues and several kickass crowds.

"I was struggling in the beginning to get past the few yawning DREAM THEATER front row fans who didn't give a fuck about us. But with time I managed to shake it off and deliver pretty much every night. We did well, I think. We recorded all the shows and listened back to them afterwards. We're at a level now where the difference between what we feel is a 'killer' show and a 'bad' show is almost not hearable. Yes, I'm boasting, but fuck man, we're quite consistent now, I think.

"Nice to finally hook up with BIGELF. I feel they're my boys now, brothers. Damon, Ace, Duffy and Froth! Amazing people, amazing band! Hope we can do something together again! Loved them since the first EP.

"UNEXPECT were a lovely bunch of people too and we hung out with them almost every night, for a beer or two. Great people and fucking intense band, I have to say.

"And DREAM THEATER, of course. [Mike] Portnoy [DREAM THEATER drummer] is now a buddy of mine, I have to say. I love the guy. He's got a finger in every fucking pie and his brain must be overheating on a daily basis. That's a man who's got a big heart and a overwhelming interest in music. Just made everyone feel comfortable. He even saved five copies of the Swedish show poster for us since we 'might want to save it.' Sweet! BUT I have to take credit for kicking his ass in rock trivia. Yet, I was shitfaced, so he might not share my opinion.

"The other guys [from DREAM THEATER] are cool too, of course. Spoke more to [John] Myung [DREAM THEATER bassist] than before and he proves to be supercool. [John] Petrucci was fucking nice, too, as always. He jammed with Fredrik [Åkesson, OPETH guitarist], but you know... two widdy woo freaks showing some scales and practise runs does little to grasp my attention. He asked me to show some licks and I said 'Don't know any!' Haha! He's a cool cat though!

"All in all, it was a great tour! Obviously we had the whole shit with the crash but we're over it by now. Other than that it was all hunky dory!

"Food was great, too. We had a catering service travelling with us and they're feeding us three times a day. Gave them a bottle of wine afterwards to say cheerio!

"Back home again for three days or so, then it's Japan and Oz! Can't wait. Well, to be honest, I fucking HATE those flights....but the shows will be fun. And I'll go record shopping in Shinjuku, for sure!

"Wife and kids are good, even though Melinda [daughter] recently had a high fever and Mirjam [other daughter] vomited for a whole day. They're good now though.

"Well, that's it! 'Efterlyst' is on the telly now so I gotta go watch some criminals in action."

Обожаю этого дядьку, такой добряк=))))
13 ноя 2009
Ага, он как всегда шутит по любому поводу и может описывать довольно обыденные для музыканта вещи очень интересно. Да и читая его, видишь, что он такой же человек: радуется встрече с музыкантами, веселится с друзьями, смотрит телевизор, думает о семье. В общем ждем новых новостей от Майка и Ко. :)

Окерфельт обладает уникальной способностью, говорить восторженно об обыденном =)

А ещё у него есть особенность писАть так, что трудно понять. Любит вставлять жаргонные словечки, американизмы и прочее.

Visionaire,я бы не сказал.Попадаются некоторые выражения,а так в целом все достаточно прозрачно.
А вот читать блоги англичан - это действительно жесть.Там жесточайший сленг.

"Я чувствовал себя толще, уродливее и бесталаннее Мэрайи Кэри." - сильно сказано )))

А мне не нравится. Вечно "я/кто-то/все были в стельку", везде минимум два-три раза слова "дерьмо", "задница", либо производные. Какое-то приторно-противное обывательское счастье - о, всегда всё круто-мегакруто, плюс как здоровье детишек, и феерический финал - "собираюсь посмотреть немного криминала". Как похоже на Россию, видимо их шведский "Час суда".
