Opeth - Face Of Melinda (Live 2006)

[Suthrnbelle80]

Saw them Last night at The Warfield in SF...they were AMAZING!

[amitab123marwaha]

i feel opeth's live performances sound better than the recorded ones :D

[JoNnYShizzle]

@amitab123marwaha It sounds so much better having the sound pound your soul through large speakers with the band mere meters away from you. You feel as if you are one with the band. Mikales voice and the occasional back-up vocals are 110% what you would expect to hear.

[amitab123marwaha]

@JoNnYShizzle i guess my next wish will be to hear opeth live :)

[JoNnYShizzle]

@amitab123marwaha They are touring! Be sure you don't miss them if they go somewhere near you! I strongly recommend you go =D

[amitab123marwaha]

@JoNnYShizzle yes i will :)

[Suthrnbelle80]

@amitab123marwaha They do!

[KarimBoctorAwad]

by the way watch 7:46 - 7:49... the guy is in his own world now. hahaha

[Furious133]

WOW! you guys nailed it.

[romuloviana]

Miss Martin - the drummer.

[cyopihprog]

Una gran hacia una chica ,no todo el metal se refiere a destruccion o desmadre, habran sus mentes ...

[intoxicatedskier]

how i ripp that off my still life cd and put it on my computer....then on itunes?

[Weltgeist13]

@intoxicatedskier get the & download free software, CDex convert them from the CD to mp3

is one method , easy then just copy them to your itunes folder

[PsychopathicKnees]

Awesome :) Too bad they've been moved to the Sunday stage at the High Voltage Festival. If i am going, I can only go on Saturday !

[claramacdowell]

@PsychopathicKnees dont tell me about that, im brazilian and, in an insane moment of me life, i decided to go to NYC instead. Missed Opeth, Steve Hackett and ELP. Oh dear. :P

[Thilo9191]

i love this part of opeth. but i don't like the songs with him growling. i love his voice but I am not into that growling stuff. It's a pity cause I really like that band.

[GeneralWarburg]

@Thilo9191 I partially agree with you. I'm definitely a much bigger fan of their clean lyrics than their growling lyrics, though I like their growling lyrics as well. It's all a matter of taste, I suppose.

[KarimBoctorAwad]

@GeneralWarburg I find it's more a question of adaptation and compensation. To this day, I still hate growling, although I have grown a custom to opeth's growling because of the melody that surrounds it and completes it perfectly. Other bands do not have that "melody" and therefor sounds (to me) more like loud, annoying noises... but as I said: it's just a question of adaptation; eventually I will get used to it and be able to stand it.

[fauxn1m]

feeling sorry is not metal. You are a weakling. And clearly you don't know Opeth at their prime

[pedroestupadre]

Carajooo!! Akerfeldt tiene una de las mejores voces del metal!!!!!!!!

[Kriegsphilosphier]

Gosh i love that snare drum there :o

[teoballesi]

uuuuu

if i could see akerfeldt , i would suck his cock

he's a FUCKIN GENIUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[kerplunk89]

What guitar is Mikael using here??

[lalalalakkekkshsgjh]

don't know the exact model, but it is a Paul Reed Smith (PRS)

[SubyReeves]

PRS SC 245

[AndiiTheStratophonic]

@SubyReeves nope my friend.

it is a modern eagle singlecut with 24 frets...it is a special version! akerfeld's favourite...he said that in an interview

[mesamarshall]

This is one of the best songs by Opeth, but all their songs are brilliant masterpieces so it's really hard to choose the best one... Damn, why do they have to be so great?

[einsamkeitimnebel]

timeless godd music... never will can stop listen to 'em

[ENUMAELISH666]

long life to opeth

[fauxn1m]

I can't even listen to this drummer. Opeth needs a Lopez

[DanielAbbasi07]

I feel so sorry for you.

[carnalito1400]

hauntingly soothing

[hardheadbang]

simply brilliant....these guys are nothing less than gods

[chevelleandopeth]

love this song and still life . opeth keep rocking on.

[Stillillgal]

niceeeeee

[r0xLask0]

this is one of the best songs on the DVD

[Stillillgal]

where can i find the whole thing?

[r0xLask0]

The DVD is called "The Roundhouse Tapes", i can totally recommend it! Opeth's best DVD!

[rkn000rkn]

amazing

[CharlyxR]

soy yo o es que en el minuto en una parte en especial, la del minuto 1:03 y en las siguientes suena desafinado no creen?

[infiniteobscure]

suena bien, eres tu el pendejo

[s0cietysreject]

Can anyone tell if Mendez is playing on a fretless? That's what he played it on in the studio performance.

[JacoThe2nd]

Looks like he's using his Marcus Miller Jazz bass.

[Stillillgal]

no fretless

[aacPOTING]

Mikael's face at 8:13 says it all...

Pure emotion...

This is MUSIC, my friends

[radiotool46y2]

la canción es muy impresionante!!!!!!

[celestefranco]

only 13,906 views....

that's a shame.

-winnipeg manitoba

[Bollehamsteren]

I love the finish of Mikael's PRS.

I WISH I HAD A PRS!

[ssaxby02]

I wish I had his voice....

[Bollehamsteren]

I think everyone secretly does.

[sneakyfred]

Most epic solo. Ever. Ever ever ever.

[dagoor]

agreed,,, agreed... AGREED!!!

[chuckl3s]

this song once more demonstrates the huge gap lopez left....

[sneakyfred]

1:47 check out the guy in the top hat in the back row! XD

[Mantrada]

I kind of feel sorry for per...

[Greensmurf]

Why do you feel sorry for him?

[Mantrada]

Distinct lack of keyboard parts in the old songs. I dont really feel sorry for him but it must be kind of boring just playing the guitar parts on the keyboard although it certainly sounds good.

[Greensmurf]

Ah. I get you.

I don't think he complains about it too much though, in fact I think some of the keyboard parts they added to the old songs (the mellotron sound in Demon Of The Fall for example) really compliments the music

[Mantrada]

Yeah i totally agree. I dont know why they didnt consider the position of a full time keyboardist earlier than damnation / ghost reveries. I love some of the sounds Per produces particularly that keyboard thing at 5 : 53 of thebaying of the hounds. I just feel itts a shame that older opeth albums miss the touch that a keyboardist adds.

[Greensmurf]

Yeah. Mikael said in the Ghost Reveries bonus DVD that he used to hate keyboards in metal, then gradually started to change his mind and started to love them

[larsdrums]

5:37 <3 opeth <3

[xxmyfavmusicxx]

PERFECTION RIGHT HERE.

Michael's voice...so clear and clean.

[IXB34RXI]

Beautiful.

[gullpus]

<333

[waz416]

OMG OMG OMG..I frekain gettin TEH BLU RAY version.....release it alreday.....hahahaha.....PEAC EOUT

[lfc851]

La perfeccion tiene un solo nomre... Opeth!, esta cancion es una de las mejores y verla en vivo me deja sin palabras, como ansio de que ya salga el nuevo dvd!

[flyingtubeyou]

Awesome!

Unigue and irrepleceable.

...wish to see Opeth here in Kiev!..

[itsvoogle]

this has to be from the roundhouse tapes because Axe is the drummer not Lopez

[NaotoATG]

Yeah it is. Now 2 videos from the upcoming DVD!

[gebagia]

thank you babi mou..

[ShotgunHeroX]

opeth makes me proud of being swedish.

[asshole92]

+1 same goes for In Flames.

Too bad i'm only half Swedish.

[Cherryliciousmix]

in flames USED to be good:/

Opeth =^^= i freaking love this song

[MissAndDie96]

The keyboard adds so much more atmosphere to this song.

[SirNosferatu]

It's a shirt of Vlad Tepes Dracula.

[loincloth200]

This is definitely from the RoundHouse Tapes. I've got the cd, and I know it so well that I can tell just by the crowd noises. Also, everyone is wearing the same clothes as the submitted "Bleak" from the roundhouse tapes dvd. Anyway, this is by far the best rendition of the tune.

[emericashoes]

what shirt is mikael wearing?

[svinariezas]

I have 3 different versions of "Still Life" album - original, DigiPak and this new re-release. In my opinion, this is by far the best Opeth album.

[antichristusspiritu]

This is from the roundhouse tapes, isnt't it?

Is the same stage that Bleak from Roundhouse tapes too.

[NederlandseDuitser]

Tnx for posting this :) A bit of special song for me atm :)

[jannendalen1]

I have this Special Edition.

The sound on the DVD is a bit better than this uploaded one.

The 5.1 DVD sounds awesome too. One of the best records ever. And just 13.90€

[Paladine777]

One of the best song live-performed I've ever seen.

[ArtDog92]

omg if opeth was a fruit they would be forbidden ...too good for mortals lol love this song

[boondock615]

This song chills me out so much.

[markasstrick84]

I'm 99.9% positive this is the same version as on the Roundhouse Tapes cd (listen to the crowd before the song, you can hear a guy yelling). It's pretty bad ass. As far as the vocals being better here than on the album, I wouldn't go that far. The album version vocals are perhaps the best clean vocals I've ever heard anyone lay down.

[InTuneOnTime]

It is

[woltersg]

Hell yeah! Was looking for this for a while..

[dimedizzle]

Mikael's singing on this is amazing. Better than the album version.

[vitoko7]

conchasumadre

no puedo decir mas.

[larsepwn]

pro!

[oOojUsTiNoOo]

The DVD will be awesome.

but between "Bleak" and "Face Of Melinda" so far, there isn't enough "Axe-cam."

i can't wait to get my Still Life SE though.

[gozin]

wait...this is the roundhouse tapes isn't?

[orwa]

one word describe it all ..

( OPETH )

[Metallium666]

It's on Disc 2.

[otisjefferson]

mmm... there was no bonus DVD coming with my copy, how did you get that ?

[K2member]

there's a remastered/remixed re-issue

[K2member]

Thanks, I haven't received my copy yet

[bahonya]

awesome, thanks for upload!

[holyd1ver]

Good upload man.

[prozakarol]

simply amazing!
