Opeth - To Rid The Disease (Live TV4)

[Malgores]

Muy buen tema ... apaño estas tardes de pega

[Saytanzchylde]

fucken beautiful

[siliyemoodislam]

@vigilihab Lets beat him together, I have a shit load of crap for his mouth!

[TALLMIDGET818]

best album ever from opeth

[cjcookie]

so much better than heritage!

[silverstaralchemist]

Is it just me or do they have a much better clean tone here than with the recent "Burden" appearance?

[Rogeriks13]

This song would be perfect for a SIlent Hill game.

[SHOCKENSTINE]

Damnation reminds me of Pink Floyd for some reason

[ElectricTurkey1]

@SHOCKENSTINE That's just mikes prog 70's side. Almost every clean vocal passage in Opeth reminds me of something from the 70's

[666hellfiend]

@SHOCKENSTINE I've heard that more than once of their softer material, and, to be honest, I have to agree...

[KevinPatrickCarey]

COME BACK PETER!!!!!!!!!!!!! :(:(

[doomedarkness]

Epic line-up...

[666hellfiend]

@doomedarkness best lineup Opeth has seen... They still are far from sucking, but with Peter and Lopez they were beyond epic!

[doomedarkness]

@666hellfiend I fully agree with you. Even though line up has changed, I don't see so much "musical" difference than the past (obviously because Akerfeldt stays on his own place). But past line up looked so much better than the actual one. Was it only a matter of look? I can't really say, but the past line up is the one I'd really like to see again someday.

[DISARRAY3]

ONE PERSON IS DYING A FIERY DEATH FOR ETERNITY DISLIKING THIS. SHAME....

[MastersApprentices]

Haha this is like Opeth being on GMTV with Lorraine Kelly!!

[eliceus]

I wish in my country we could have a band like Opeth on national TV. That would be a miracle

[VienBaf]

@eliceus

A band like Opeth? Sorry, mate, but there is none.

And don't worry, I liked your comment.

[adrianchromenko]

Not liking the keyboards too much (3:43)

[joe15rock]

@weebitdemonic Opeth at a coffee shop would be awesome!

[bunnyoneedge]

I blame God for not let me step into Peter's life and TAKE HIM !

[HWCWTD]

Don't get me wrong, the "new" guitarist is amazing but i miss Lindgren, thankful i got to see them when he was still with them.

[bunnyoneedge]

@HWCWTD you're so lucky

[weebitdemonic]

Opeth on such a small stage ... it's almost like they're at a coffee-house

[izen9]

Opeth is the best thing in life

[aligatorsandwitch72]

So... Did they play Ghost of Perdition at this show?

[HarvestHollow]

Mikaels face at 1:42

Lmao.

[poisongodmachine3]

@donangry What are you talking about???

This is Lopez!

They did this shortly after Damnation was released.

[siliyemoodislam]

@poisongodmachine3 who? Jennifer Lopez?!!!

[OCPDaveL]

@siliyemoodislam Believe it or not, more than one person has the second name Lopez!

Amazing, isn't it?

[childishgambino2010]

What a perfect world it would be if the shitty stations here in the US would give the air time to bands like this...

[postigaceltic]

The real Opeth :)

[shawndw1000]

The last minute got stuck on the light? 

[baraba]

I have loooost aaaall trust I had in youuuu...

[littlegldgti]

can anybody tell me what brand kit Lopez is using??!??!?!?!?!?! I need to know!

[richardcello]

quse errou o a nota aos 3:44 shauhsuahuas se afobou, mas mesmo assim é bom! xD

[TheSIKKS66]

To be fair, as awesome as it is seeing Opeth on a national tv station, I doubt they would let them play a heavier song like Lotus Eater or Wreath on national tv. Unless this has actually happend. In which case I am moving to Sweden.

[Hedeskog89]

@TheSIKKS66

I assume they are able to play it, we're quite liberal in Sweden.

But i think that the band are choosing not to play a heavier song because, well...

Regular people who look at this morning program would probably not approve of that kind of music playing ;-)

[Marshallga]

Isn't this same show they played Burden and Coil?

[Marshallga]

@Marshallga Hah. Later I realised there is Peter still in lead guitar.

[Flaggius]

wow, this is quite old, 2003 I think. The TV4 logo haven't looked like that since then. Anyway, amazing performance as always from Opeth, best metal band of all time. Proud to be swedish \m/

[GoldenAnnubis]

this is a another masterpiece to be put forever in the museum of Opeth

[theevilnen]

why is it fastened? original album songs have much slower tempo

still his live performances are definietaly great as his music is too

[MorbidHumanity666]

that would be awsome to be able to see opeth on some random talk show or w/e instead of turning it on only to see justin bieber, fuck.

[drkdevlmurderer]

fuckin awesome song!!

[GODCORRUPTED]

i would like to live in sweden, you can see opeth in national TV.fuckkkkk

[Tymiinator]

Like Axenrot's sound above Lopez's? His snare more pronounced! That's ludicrous , Lopez's snare cut through the music more so then any other snare I have ever heard. Axe, let's contend theoretically is better then lopez, even so Lopez's groove is unmatched by anyone. It's not about complex arrangements, it's about the pocket he creates, swells, and recedes.

[TheTruckdr]

Amazing

[littlegldgti]

yeah nah its Lopez. But whats he playing?

[littlegldgti]

Wow great sound, Whos drumming? I thought it was Lopez but it looks like hes playing a DW kit so I have my doubts of who it is?..... Who is it?

[insightmetal]

I love this weak live version of the song. It fits so good with the lyrics...

[immortalsoloist]

I do miss Martin Lopez and Peter Lindgren but I think Fredrick and Axe are fantastic new editions to Opeth both line ups are phenomenal so let's enjoy the music!

Long live Opeth :)

[whoodabom]

what happened to Martin and Peter?

[immortalsoloist]

Well Martin Lopez was really sick man he was having panick attacks and had a rare disease which started during the Lamenations tour Martin Axernot(AXE) usually played on those nights that Lopez couldn't eventually Lopez quit as he wasn't recovering Peter Lindgren wanted to leave the band as he said touring just took too much out of him and it wasn't fun anymore so well Fredrik Akkenson was taken in to Opeth who is to be honest really phenomenal.

[whoodabom]

thanks that was very informative.

[immortalsoloist]

anytime.

[StAngersucks]

Åkesson :)

[immortalsoloist]

yes indeed :)

[noahballs]

i'm not really sure about the drummers

i think fredrik is a more talented guitarist than peter, though

[idshanks]

I agree with that about the guitarists. I do think Axe is also more talented than Lopez, but Lopez had a really unique latin jazz flair that we all know of, that Axe doesn't really have so much. But I think Axe is more technically diverse. So they have their pros and cons.

[pinkfloydfan417]

@idshanks

I read that Axe had a teacher who could swing really well. Axe might have a jazzy side we don't know about, which'd be nice to see. As for the latin side, yeah, I doubt he has that.

I prefer Axe's drum and cymbal choices. His snare, which is deeper and heavier than Lopez's, sounds great.

[AizensYHypnosis]

I love Opeth all around, new and old, but Damnation is one of my favorite Albums of all time. Axe is pretty legit but Lopez was all over the place and hit everything perfectly. It's hard to replace that.

[funnyvidman01]

Where the hell can I get an opeth shirt?And holy crap, I gotta get tickets to these guys!

[Smc316]

Yeah, I was able to get eight of the nine Opeth albums at my local Newbury Comics. (Morning Rise being the one album that I had to order online.)

[infiniteobscure]

the best formation of the band till now... i think, cuz i miss so much lopez and peter T___T

[Lhuzz]

YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY TRUE.

[hqnyqsl]

The best OPETH > Come Turkey

[Otzischotzi]

I love the Light effects... and the Band of course!

[allnightdwight]

mendez > lopez no questions asked

[Solarrain4]

Maybe... but also, Lopez > Axe.

[Lhuzz]

LOL

[timbofle]

there's no doubt about it, this is the greatest band ever!

[JanizPetke]

Sooooo many mistakes...

[SlashRose]

Yeah, I noticed that too, lol. Good thing they were absolutely spot on when I saw them live!

[cofpaddy]

skill.

[Zapriz8081]

this song is absolutly beautifull!

[ZamsadaZombie]

Omg he's so gorgeous.

[heavymetalgod345]

So they've been on TWO TV4 shows?

[poisongodmachine3]

i guess so... they played burden recently

[heavymetalgod345]

It's just kind of funny seeing a metal band on not one, but two morning shows. Only Opeth could pull it off.

[lexagon]

It's the same show, they just played two songs. Those morning shows go on for like 3-4h over in this part of the world.

[heavymetalgod345]

There were two shows spaced about a year apart. There's this show, and one later promoting Watershed. They had Akesson and Axenrot in the later episode.

[poisongodmachine3]

much more than a year apart

this is promoting Damnation, which was released in 2003

Watershed was released in 2008

[heavymetalgod345]

kkkk... I wasn't sure at all; only judging by the times the videos were posted.

[lexagon]

Ah, I thought he was referring to this specific show, my mistake :)

[Pelleman666]

@poisongodmachine3 more.. I think they've been there like 5 times...the performed Coil aswell at least..

[viswe]

@Pelleman666 They've only been there two times performing two songs both times. 

[tumtuss]

@heavymetalgod345 Actually FOUR shows

[foolonthehillz]

Akerfeldt is really creative. . .he does death metal one second, then writes and spotlessly performs a song as soft and pretty as this.

[juchel]

these guys are spotless ha, the whole thing is just as pretty as the studio version

[Sirheadly87]

does wiberg have on a batman ring?! amazing

[MitchyTheKiller]

Can't wait to see them at Download in June. These and Dream Theater. Perfect.

[Enchox]

Martin Lopez !!!!!!!

[syssttem]

I'm seeing them on 10th of April in Athens, Greece!!! ROCK ON.....

[somos999]

it was amazing!!!!!

[DraceAmar]

They have a lot of soft songs, the entire Damnation album is like this. I guess opeth is not realy your cup of tea.

[Jonestown4am]

I really like ths group a lot I'm just pointing out that they are not soft songs just because the guy isnt growling and theres no distortion doesnt mean its a soft song. Hence the empowering and invoking remark.

[Megadedly]

There is no such thing as a soft song. Read the title of the song stupid turd.

[feihung]

uy , buenas pifias por ahi, eso es raro en opeth

[spartanesus]

What`s Fuck TV4

[poisongodmachine3]

a Swedish channel

[Igorek666PL]

We have it in Poland too :)

[fuwmg]

@spartanesus Pay attention and maybe you wont look so idiotic

[DemonOfTheFall15]

martin lopez!

[PwnzorBob]

... I think that TV4 Nyheterna (Swedish morning news) and Opeth has some relationship.

This is the fourth time they've played a song there.

I came.

[Hemispheres88]

They've only played there two times, two songs each time. All swedish bands play there at one point or another.

[redheaddrumm3r]

is that lindgren on guitar..? i thought he left a while ago?

[poisongodmachine3]

Lindgren left in 2007

This is from 2003 or 2004

[darkwatson87]

ok, opeth at 9 in the morning....

what an epic wake up show

[hking007]

I wish they played stuff like this in latin america tv.. :( xd

[poisongodmachine3]

Well, they will be playing live in Chile in April... AND HERE IN BRAZIL TOO!

And I'm gonna see them!!! YES!

[retorique]

You could get Angra to play at a morning show in Brazil, or Criminal in Chile. But nope. Not going to happen.

[sicretsmoker]

Et en Farnce, quand est-ce qu'on verra Gojira en live dans télématin ?

[girlofsalvation]

One of the most beautiful tracks of Opeth!

I wish they played stuff like this on brasilian tv. Unfortunaly, this is impossible.

[poisongodmachine3]

verdade... é triste

[Zullia]

My god, i had no idea they played on TV4

I have newfound respect for "Nyhetsmorgon"

[Jackehehe]

afaik he had a cold during this performence hence his voice not being perfect

[HLkiller2]

yeah, he did have a cold. it says on the biografy part of they're homepage. (chapter VIII, page 3.)

[HateHumanity]

One of the best tracks from the Damnation album

[BlooBeluga]

i wish they played stuff like this on american tv. awesome

[NinjaSCA]

the shitheads over here would be offended.

:(
