Really interesting, I love hearing Mikael talk about his creative process, he's very bashful and self-critical in a genuine way, and the general impression I get from all his interviews is that he still considers himself to be learning rather than acting like the maestro
Yeah FaceCulture are good at what they do. Also I notice people like Mikael and Steven Wilson feel comfortable with them and seem to enjoy being interviewed by them. Which isn't always the case if you watch other interviews, they seem a bit like ''oh well I have to be here'' lol
They're good interviewers who feel personal rather than asking stupid, redundant questions that indicate they've never watched a single one of their interviews, i.e. "but y no growls tho".
I wonder if he'd give the same answers about how difficult it is to tour for ages if he wasn't at the end of the tour :) This is a tired man speaking. Made me think of the song The Killing Road by Megadeth about touring.

One of the best songwriters of our generation. This man emanates excellence.

Exacly. Wish they would do two interviews per year because they tend to do only 1 if I'm correct. With Mikael approval ofc.
I've noticed this as well. FaceCulture is pretty lucky to be able to get this level of honesty but then again they do tend to be better interviewers.

He the definition of an artist. His thought process and how he creates.

He kinda reminds me of the Hound from GoT
I can see it... without the scars and the bitterness
