The beginning of the video where he was just sitting there and watching the screen blankly as footage of him was playing is so funny to me for some reason
Dream Theater and Opeth where some of my favourite bands growing up, have seen Opeth three times and Dream Theater two times already here in Greece, hope to see them work together on something someday!
No, Kevin Moore would suit more Opeth than would Jordan Rudess. ( If they had to work with a keyboardist from DT). Unless Rudess adapts his style to Opeth. I could difficulty see Opeth adapting to Rudess' style. Kevin Moore though, has more this Opeth approach in terms of the melodies, I think he could easily adapt to Opeth's style while not changing his own style so much.
Mikeal has been working on film scoring and I think that is sick. I'd check that show out if I could get it in my country. I'm also glad Jordan is still fine after his mask finding problem. This was inspiring to listen to.
I came across Opeth in 2009 when they were touring on Prog Nation with Dream Theater and they've been my favorite band every since. Cheers from Palestine!
Wow me too! In Porto, Portugal :-) 60min of Opeth (6 songs). Lots of Watershed. Almost fainted due to all the headbanging and sheer intensity. Had to get some air before Dream Theater. Cheers!
No a drunk Fredrik Thordendal of Meshuggah trying to describe the sound of the guitar tone they were going for in the 90s is who you gotta thank for that:)
They toured together in 09 and michael has said when dt came to sweeden on their first tour in 92 it inspired him greatly and and made him cry, probably during surrounded lol
@@anonymousceleb1148 I don't know, it's just that Mikael seems that kind of -no filter- guy, and has a pretty sarcastic humor that doesn't always fit this type of streamings.
@@indefiniteartblock434 Fuckkkk. It was really good, I didnt get to the front sadly (I have seen them in front in the past), but I was about 6 rows of people back. Their sound guy does an awesome job and their lighting is mesmerizing.
@@swingonthespiral I bet. I went back to see video recordings of the LA concert and it just made me more sad. They had everything in that concert. Harlequin Forest, Leper Affinity... Ugh. Next time they tour in SoCal I'm going no matter what.
Years ago saw Dream Theater & Opeth together. It was quite a show. Personally for me, and I commend Opeth for doing what they want to do, I was not ecstatic of the musical change away from earlier mix of death metal to the prog route. The prog sound just isn't my choice of music, although Opeth does it better than most.
@@Ospif1 sitting down having a conversation is hard work? Come on. I buy concert tickets, CD's, merch and vinyls and everything else to support the bands I love, but why would I pay for a conversation or asking a question?...
He seems a bit unfriendly, but it's not the first time. He's funny, he has humour, he can be sarcastic, but I think he isn't so easy going. And it seems to be that dream theater's members have more appreciation for him than otherwise. idk, maybe I just can't understand swedes.
I love how Mikael has only a moustache when Jordan has just the goatee. They complete each other, beard wise.
Almost. They’d need a fella with some wicked lamb chops to complete the trifecta
Hair too
The beginning of the video where he was just sitting there and watching the screen blankly as footage of him was playing is so funny to me for some reason
im losing my shit thanks to you
I feel like when he gets something to work on the internet, he gets a little surprised himself. No clue why I get this feeling from him, but I do.
We are made of the same profile picture
It’s so damn funny. You know he just absolutely hates the moment hahah
so funny lol
I know he's working on a score for a film, but I want a new Opeth album sooo much
just wait for it and enjoy the result i am happy for him , a dream most certainly. A reason for certain melodies to come back
I hope the next one will be in Swedish as well.
What film?
@@ismailgunduz5627 Netflix show called Clark. Its a very Mikaelesque score
Mikael kinda looks like one of my teachers in this
He looks like he could be my aunt but with a moustache
The camera angle doesnt help lol
yo your teachers hot
No, he looks like Stig-Helmer Olsson. xD
Opeth was my last pre covid show;(March 1st). He was hilarious that night, the show was great.
I was supposed to see DT last November:(
Opeth was my last show before covid too: February 29, 2020 at Toyota Music Factory in Irving TX.
Same here! Feb 22, 2020 at the Apollo!
Me too, February 15th at the Royal Oak Music Theater
Same here. And the gig ending with ”Allting Tar Slut” makes it weird.
Dream Theater and Opeth where some of my favourite bands growing up, have seen Opeth three times and Dream Theater two times already here in Greece, hope to see them work together on something someday!
Τυχερέ! Ανυπομονώ να δω έστω και μια φορά και τους δυο!
LOL plays an unauthorized DVD rip for the bandleader of said band. ;)
lmao i didn't even think about that
Just do something together, our heros.

@@reducetheatoms Hey, why only Jordan should adapt to Opeth? Collaboration means mutual adaptation.

@@astrolopitekos Watershed is my favorite album for them. Cheers!
Wallah 3a rasee 👍👍👍
Mikael seems like a history teacher
Oh god Mikael is getting older :(
Jordan is 17 years older than him.
I have news for you - we all are :(
NEVER !!
He just looks like a comedian from germany, "Helge Schneider", in this one - I love it :D !
Comedian... Or genius multi-instrumentalist jazzcat!
You should really try his album Helge und Hardcore Jazz 😃
Helge rules! 👍
Fitze, Fitze, Fatze
MA: "getting old"
JR: "Yeah"😃
Simply the meeting of two geniuses!!
I love Opeth. Loved them since high school. I'm an old fart now. They'll always be my favorite
Orchid didn't come out until after I graduated from high school! Lol
These men are responsible for my recent discovered taste for djent
I feel you buddy ddddjent
No a drunk Fredrik Thordendal of Meshuggah trying to describe the sound of the guitar tone they were going for in the 90s is who you gotta thank for that:)
Djent is inferior
My 16 month old daughter is OBSESSED with that Albert Hall video. She's watched it endless times and just shouts "GUIIIIIIIIIITAR!" at mikael 😂
It's a dramatic video that's also kind of like a story, and it's beautiful and has good music.
Opeth + dreamtheater ? What ?
They toured together in 09 and michael has said when dt came to sweeden on their first tour in 92 it inspired him greatly and and made him cry, probably during surrounded lol
So wait a guy from Bathery did music videos for Madonna and Lady Gaga?
Jonas Åkerlund!
LOL. That was THE most awkward interview I've seen in a while!
You were on the same stage at ARTMania, Sibiu. I remember Mikael making a bit fun of DT regarding solos and arpeggios
Jordan kinda got disappointed not getting a laugh at"Chinese people bought them all"loll
I don't think that was a joke to be honest.
@@zombryn lol me too.. I was just pointing it from Jordan's view.
I honestly think Mikael wanted to retort a black joke but he contained (he remembered he was streaming)
@@Serfo_ Don't think he does that
@@anonymousceleb1148 I don't know, it's just that Mikael seems that kind of -no filter- guy, and has a pretty sarcastic humor that doesn't always fit this type of streamings.
Anything Mikael and Steven Wilson does. I’m in!
We need a Prog Nation Tour. Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree and Opeth. II'm not asking too much...
I was at the last Opeth Show in LA and I got covid there 😂. Dont be sharing joints with strangers.
Even with tickets I had to miss the show. I still regret it. 😭

Mustache only Mikael seems really weird from that camera angle, His front teeth are peeking through lol
Mikael “getting old” NEVER !!!
Mikael Akerfeldt, Jordan Rudess, Steven Wilson....= Supergroup
My favorite guitarist in a live with my favorite keyboardist. Amazing
he looks a bit like the german comedian helge schneider
Tim Bernardes tá ficando velho
Kind regards from Tezoyuca Morelos México! Congratulations guys. I really love opeth's músic.
viejo sabroso el mike
my two dads
How awesome would be Rudess, Mikael and Arjen Lucassen (from Ayeron) working together?
We had Mikael and Arjen already (human equation) so maybe it's possible.
Two masters 🤟🏻🙌🏻
Lasse Åbergs kusin? 😄
Do it more times, Steven Wilson will be nice!
2 great musicians but this conversation is putting me to sleep
Yeah Jordan is not that great at interviewing ngl... I felt like this is a job interview :D
Is he having snus? 🧐
always been
Saw Dream Theater and Opeth live over 10 years ago in Albany NY I believe. One of my favorite shows ever.
Years ago saw Dream Theater & Opeth together. It was quite a show.

Wow, both great people in great bands :-)
Is that an old Peavey head on the left/background? lol
I have realized that Mikael looks like my father. Wow just wow.
Mikael kinda looks like Bubbles from Trailer Park Boys in this. Deeeecent!
Wonder if they could fix the audio so both voices sounds in a more similar volume
my 2 favorite bands
Why is this podcast so short ? Podcasts are supposed to be hours long
"To listen to the entire chat, join my Patreon at: www.patreon.com/jordanrudess"
actually pathetic

Wait. Is this Steven Akerfeldt?
please opeth play the US again!!...I really want to go to a show live...how about a dream theater/opeth tour?
Why don't they work together?
Fucking love Mikael
For the first time i found Mikael a bit unfriendly. Am i the only one to think so?
yep, noticed that too!
He seems a bit unfriendly, but it's not the first time. He's funny, he has humour, he can be sarcastic, but I think he isn't so easy going. And it seems to be that dream theater's members have more appreciation for him than otherwise. idk, maybe I just can't understand swedes.
mikael is just not into this live chatty interview stuff. i think he just couldnt say no to jordan :)
What why? I think he acted very normal and calm and friendly. Not unfriendly at all.
4:49 WAIT WHAT
This was sooooooo cool to watch! 🤘🤘🤘thanks
Dream Theater y Opeth son las mejores bandas del mundo y de la historia, son unos GENIOS.
Prog Nation 2009!
11:49 hehehe
Mike is the Wierd Al of prog metal
why does opeth never played in Indonesia?
Hehe the boomer angle having the camera facing up at your face so you look funny haha instead of from above :D
my 2 favourite artists wow
Gotta love the swede with the snus :)
RIP Joey
Necesito los subtítulos, esto está buenísimo!

Hey bro, I think we have to connect with the games (left).
Opeth have been incredibly boring from Ghost Reveries on. It's like a pale shade of the band that was that's now on life support.
what an inappropriate comment about Chinese people from Jordan!!
