Prog Rock is alive and breathing! Awesome Stuff out there! Wish it were more mainstream. Thank goodness for youtube. There is one station i really like. kexp.org out of Seattle. they would play these guys in a heart beat..
I have two equally favorite (active) bands. The Mars Volta and Opeth. That's how amazing this band is. No matter what your taste in music the amazingness will draw you to them and you cannot help but appreciate how amazing they really are. It's amazing.
@TylerHGuitar Listen any song from the albums, Orchid, Morningrise, My arms your hearse, Still life, Blackwater park, Deliverance, Damnation, Ghost reveries, Watershed,
It doesn't matter witch one, they're all amazing songs.
try "the lotus eater" of the watershed album. that should give you a good guide to them. honestly though any song they have ever written has been amazing.
The thing I like about Opeth they just create music, without knowing too much of theory. I mean, theory is good and all but I think it just limits you.
I know some of the basics only, but I create riffs and chords, based on wether I think they sound cool or not.
@MrRobiJay, we are talking about the same laws of sound and chords et al, but there are those who do not know the technicalities yet are able to perform within same scope of skill and essence. i know two players, exact opposites yet at same skil levels. the other guy has the music theory in his head and is able to perform well with it. the other guy is illiterate with the written side of theory, yet has a good chord memory and ear. you know, they're both good.
I realy enjoy the intumentals part, but after being pointed out about how kinda... lame the lyrics and mikael singing here.. I guess it realy isnt one of their best.
@oceanborn05 The fact that its one of the songs most people consider their "worse" and that its still better and has more creativity than what most bands pump out these days release,really says something haha :)
@oceanborn05 What no no. I have all of Opeths albums and it is all good. I love Wattershed. I love the songs they do that are kind of heavy and soft. Best band ever.
@oceanborn05 I think the same thing...for a metal band some of there songs can be kind of...to slow I guess for me...there music is awesome and some of there songs i really love but... most of them are just bla to me. Great band just lacking in my opinion. My opinion is also deluted with tons of faced pace punk and scremo music to soooo.. haha they are probably much better then i give them credit for
@oceanborn05 Apparently to you. I've heard all of their albums (and can also say that like their black metal songs too) and still this is one of my favorite songs =)
Just to make it clear, I'm not judging your taste in music, just explaining that the fact that you don't like the song (or don't feel the lyrics), doesn't mean it is "apparently" one of their worst, because some other people like me may find it brilliant.
@virgotiger4 Dream theater sucks compared to Opeth to be honest. They may have a nice instrumental masturbation but thats about it, their melodies are weak as fuck and have no feelings unlike those of Opeth, not to mention Dream Theater singer and keyboardist are horrid at what they do.
oh right , sorry people, don't go check out Dream Theater cause this guy says it sucks....i don't know what i was thinking trying to share this music with others....
@3dDuke Ok, I can accept that you think that LaBrie sucks, i believe he's not very good either. But really dude? No feelings?! Forsaken, Repentance, Wither, Trial of Tears, Octavarium, These Walls, One Last Time, The Spirit Carries on, I think that gives you about a full 2 hours of emotion in Dream Theater's Music and there are so much more... And also really dude? Jordan fuckin' Rudess sucks? I may not know the shit about keyboards, but the guy plays the keyboard like Petrucci plays the guitar.
@NikkElektrik Well still I dont think they capture the atmosphere that Opeth does, and yeah I really hate the keyboard, it's annoying, instead of making an atmosphere it is just there playing it just like some sort of eletronic music thing, plus I tried listening to "In the Name of God" because the song had that funny name and I ended up with a big big headache...I couldn't stand the voice and the keyboard anymore, I kinda like a Nightmare to Remember and As I Am, besides that not much into it..
@3dDuke Ok, what can i say, likes and dislikes, if you're not into it, you're not into it, fine by me. Just wanted to make sure you're not one of these morons that go all "O man, that band sucks compares to this band..." and have actually heard only like, half a song from the band they're hating on and then start trolling. But at least you support your opinion on DT, and I respect that. So enjoy this brilliant song by Opeth, and... good day. :)
@NikkElektrik Oh lol, well guys like you on youtube are very very rare!! I haven't heard many Dream Theater songs though, although I would like to get into it for real, I'm expecting to at one point or another to listen to a whole album of theirs without stopping, perhaps that way I will get into the sound and although I dislike their 2 members I have stated I admire Petrucci, he is a damn nice guitarist and their bassist and ex drummer are also very good!!! Shame Portnoy left them really.
@3dDuke It really is. Well, I recommend Train of Thought and Awake. Much diversity in these albums so maybe you'll like something (especially Train of Thought) and both show off their skill in a great level. Have fun listening.
@3dDuke thats funny, ive been playing piano for 10 years and i think Jordan Rudess is one of the best keyboardists of all time, sure he may not compare to the virtuosity of rubinstein or horowitz, but his musical skills are unmatched. suck it.
@GirFromInvaderZim Fuck I wasn't trying to say he sucks on playing, its just it feels like he is playing something that doesnt go along with the music, plus what I really hate is the sound, it sounds like some kind of annoying eletronic thing rather than a piano or an organ...
Fuck radio edits. The REAL song is three minutes longer. Every time I hear a radio-version, parts seem to be missing from a perfect whole. The worst case of this is One by Metallica. I was really sickened by it.
