@tmenichelli What? No, seriously, what? Opeth is not a Christian band, so your point is completely irrelevant. You're right; I don't "like that". Because it has nothing to do with this song or the band that performed it.
@66EvilChuck 64th, yes. Doesn't matter which BPM it's at, also have you even heard Axe blast or gravity beat? Listen more carefully to Watershed, Bloodbath, and Axe's other work.
that first chord and most progressions with Opeth incorporate the tritone (devil's interval), other bands can use 10 string guitars but still play shitty power chords which doesnt do shit to the overall mood. that tritone makes opeth's music fucking menacing like satan butt raping jesus.
@BuzzmFrog No, in an interview he says he didn't know he sounded like that because he's been using these specialised earplugs which were meant to be great for vocals, but apparently bad for growls, but he didn't know that until he actually heard the royal albert hall DVD himself.
@iHateBeingViet I think he's been losing it for a few years, actually. I believe the ear monitors that caused the problems were recent additions to his equipment. If you look at Lamentations, he sounded fantastic live then. Admittedly, that was quite a while ago.
@destruction143 because europe has only random gay bands like opeth, threshold, pain of salvation, porcupine tree, or classic gay bands like iron maiden and judas priest, or black sabbath, led zeppelin, pink floyd...
europe must be really gay. even i must be gay because i live in europe.
i think i overused the word 'gay' just a tiny bit there, but it was for a higher purpose: sarcasm
@21stCSchizoidName well, their frontman is gay, queen were gay, there's a lot of great musicians that are gay. its a stupid word anyway, i only used it because the guy the other guy responded to used it.
Sorry for what I'm about to tell you....but thats Van Canto you ignorant piece of s***....pretty impressive what they do with their voices....I recommend their work....
@pierecalefont I'm guessing he had a throat ache or sumting. It really is hard to do decent growls when your throat is fucked : I I can can tell from experience
@pierecalefont it sounds more evil evil than ever before :D i think he sounds awesome in this performence, cant wait to hear some stuff of the new album
in the dvd that came with the special edition thingy for their best album imo, ghost reveries, mikael at one point mentioned that he "cant produce the most evil screams anymore." exact words. now, i believe all my fellow opeth fans on this vid will agree when i say, ''wat the hell, mike?" lol. both watershed and bloodbath's the fathomless mastery....... most evil, deep sounding vocals i've ever heard. well, not the deepest, but my favorites, anyway. thumbs up???
@opethinchains Actually, whilst on the album they sound perfect, in this live video you can hear his guttural lows fail a bit. Maybe that's just some bad sound engineering or something...
Axe's kick drum's tone sucks in this fest. Like a weapon.unfortunately i don't like it. i think so, there is a problem for all of them.perhaps, as you said, the reason is that they drank hard...but in any case. these guys're my best band i've ever seen..
can any one plz tell me the name of the band & song wich was shown for 20 seconds in the begining of this video! & Yeah!! Opeth rocks as usual!!!!! \m/
Axe's solo was ........maybe, mess up in 3:01~3:04
this is the first time that I see this song on stage. Heir Apparent uses lots of technique like Akerfeld's finger, the metal cylindral thing to slip on guitar bridge
I love that adjustment Fredderick does at 3:40. It's like 'right, I'd better rest this baby on us leg for this next bit as the solo gets a bit complicated'.
@L1ving3legy Haha. the vocals are absolutely terrible too. Not to mention the lack of instrumentation. lol I wanna figure out that bands name so I can look up their other stuff and laugh at it XD
What the hell is up with his voice in this video? His vocals don't sound like what he's accustomed to at all, and quite frankly he needs never to do it again.
I love this band, and this music, and every parts of them, but the sound at 5:40 when he makes that sound in guitar with that thing in finger, just amazing ! I love Opeth
@Kesykana Haha, he always looks like that! In the beginning too he doesnt look like complaining :P Anway, good song, Nice and autentic followup to the old albums. I might buy Watershed soon, I have all albums except this and The grand conjuration
I can't believe all the deprived metal music lovers out their decieved by the hair band movement tricked into thinking that it was metal so that metal sucked...guess what ! METAL CANNOT DIE! OPETH RULES! METALLICA BETRAYED US. DESTROY THE BANKS THAT OWN AMERICA AND FLOURISH OFF OUR INTEREST. LET KENNEDY RISE AGAIN. LET US LIVE WITHIN OUR MEANS!
Mytuber- you must be 81 years old and so far out of the metal music world, I was a metallica fan with 'ride the lightning',
'master of puppets', and' and justice for all' growing up trying to tell people how great they were- but to say they are the only band because youv'e only seen them on tv is loser to the power of infinity.
lol,if you dont like opeth thats fine,but dont try to come up with stupid and hilarious accusations. secondly who the hell wants to look like oldschool metallica.
and another thing if you base your opinions on image than you will miss out on a lot of good bands, go listen to nsync with their nice clean cut image since that fits you better
