what i 'love' the most about Mikael is that he has reached such a high artistic level all on his own, working around the fuct that he is not a 'good metal guitar player; as technique goes. But no matter what he has developed his style so much that with simple material -not the traditional metal flashy riffs- , he is a great composer!!!
@occupatter so what is 'real' metal gayfaggot? go listen to your justin ladygaga bullshit u little cunt..opeth is the best band ever so go fuck you mom.. dickhead.
@occupatter I love you and hope only good things happen to you. If you're looking for negative comments, leave your basement, go out into the street and attempt to do something with your life. Get off youtube, you unattractive, amusing little man.
@Death66reaper6 As a Platyplosian American (to be politically correct), I find that comment highly offensive., and it's a gross generalization of the Platypus population. Not all of us are into Gaga and Beiber, okay buddy? Actually, only 4 of us are apparently.. lol
@Tareq031 bro its not a show. bands like scorpions or ac/dc do shows, that means they use crazy lights, fires, well they generally use other means to entertain people. Opeth just use their music, no special effects at all...just pure soul and sound.
so i would say "THAT'S HOW YOU FUCKING START A CONCERT!" :P
@GtcBloodPact I totally agree with you, but I'm really starting to hate the screens they use, just like Dream Theater. I remember when I saw DT in 2007, and they had on the screens playing some cartoons and at some point I forgot I was seeing DT live and was watching some gay ass cartoon... They should stop using them...
@countgrishnakkh I dont mind the screens, opeth mainly uses it as a banner, like many bands who just hang it behind the set. Opeth has a lot of great artwork so I enjoy it, but yeah Dream Theaters cartoon shit was a little distracting
@GtcBloodPact Certainly, but not every great metal band lacks of special effects. Metallica is one good example, they use effects like fires and play great music.
@abelinnii Oh don't get me wrong man, I didn't say bands that do use special effects are crap or anything, I just found the word "show" to be misdirecting to something else than an Opeth's live concert. Although people use that word to describe every live performance, maybe it's just stuck in my head or something.
@LuisBocks Yep, the combination of Black Rose Immortal followed by To Bid You Farewell is probably the most emotional half hour of music I've had the honor of listening to.
Just got the entire Opeth discography (amazon) and at first listen, I have to say MAYH is by far the best album at first listen. Just super solid from start to finish. I'm sure the other albums will grow on me over time, but it seems to me like they just couldn't match the brilliance of that CD in their later works.
This is perfect. Perfect. Musically ingenious, not too hard so that it's in fact possible to listen to, not too fast or too screamy so that it sounds like faggetyfag metalcore, just the right speed and pitch, FUCKING AWESOME VOCALS HOLY SHIT
Finally! I've been agonizing for months as to how the hell the ending lyrics to this song are "And the end of this sad madrigal," yet I only hear Mikael pronouncing maybe three syllables. Thanks to this, I realized he says it very quickly and the pronunciations are slurred in the recording due to age, quality, and his accent. I'm so relieved right now.
im so fuckin buying the dvd, i downloaded all their albums when i first heard from them, now i cannot have enough so im buyin all the albums, and this dvd,
3:08 well there you have it folks, Mikael is a god who has come from an unknown galaxy and has landed on this planet just to provide some mis-guided American "metal" listeners REAL metal, and to provide love to those who listen to real metal.
Åkerfeldt later discovered progressive rock and folk music, both of which had a profound impact on the sound of the band. by that do they mean more metal ???
well this song was in a very well know album my arms your hearse and its a really a good album i have every single album on my ipod and i listend to all the songs ALL HALE FUCKING OPETH YOU ASS HOLES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just had enough of people not buying albums.Downloading has gone too far.
Check your fucking grammar.There is a difference between a typo, ignorance and simply not caring.When you make sure your post is readable you just show respect to those who are going to read it.
@deadbutfree33 ..... wow!!! You guys are really stupid... I'm sorry but when you argue about trivial things like who's a true fan (etc), one fact stands alone... You're both OBTUSE!!!! Get over yourselves... They are a great band who makes great music, period.... It doesn't matter how you get their music as long as you truly enjoy it... Besides, anyone who knows music knows that bands make the real money through merchandising and touring, not album sales... Unless you're the owner of the label.
I don't remember saying I am a "true fan or something".I just love their music I am not going to compare this love to that of anyone else because it is special for everyone.
@Witchking163 Yes, but who pays for the touring and merchandise in the first place? The labels. And if the labels are losing out on money, then they can't afford to have as many bands touring.
That's why I'll never understand why you get Drabdul from Lebanonistan complaining that his favourite band never comes to his country, "even though i has all of theyr albums from torrents! why you never bring cloud of darkness to my country??"
@ska2808 It's a catch-22, really. They overprice CDs and merchandise so we don't buy it, so they make it more expensive to make up for the lack of profit. Until they lower prices to a reasonable level (as if, right?) they can't expect people to pay.
I can barely afford food a lot of the time, nevermind $30 cds.
@MPRIK Best Buy expects people to pay $47.99 US for Morningrise when you can grab it from any of Opeth's stores for less than $10. The truth is that most album sales go straight to the record company and the producers and the way the artist makes a living is through concert and merch sales.
great music. but can someone tell me why he sing like the devil growling. shit the guy can sing .he does,nt have to do that kind singing shit leave that to death metal bands
@NecronChaos I don't understand why anyone really calls Opeth a death metal band, their lyrics and imagery never reflect anything of the sort, and their music only has occasional death metal influence. They're just a prog metal band that use harsh vocals sometimes.
@Quakeltiki They are AMAZING live. Best band in the world! And one of the greatest parts of it live when I was at one venue, is the Mikael gets so into it. Closes his eyes all the time just doing what he does best. OPETH ROCKS!!!!!!!!! \m/
It doesn't make sense to call music emo, since emo is short for emotional, and I have yet to hear any good music that is devoid of emotion. Just saying.
im a big fan of rock, not metal, evenless death metal so in opeth ive find that mix of music, lyrics and concept of melodies what another bands dont have. Im very parcial in this and i realliy like so much only one person who can answers me this question: another band like opeth? none
Opeth fans are different, thats a truth like a stadium of big, basically for the emotions displayed in the lyrics..
I don't see Emo as music that has emotion, personally. I usually just associate it with the look that it is characterised by.. Opeth make emotional music but it is not EMO
im a total fan reguardless of what we do or like it doesnt matter its music it serves a purpus in making us feel good .. so that comment wasnt necisary
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
im just wondering how so many of you are opeth fans, Opeth - a band which is based on raging deep emotion, while in real life i can bet you're all tough playing MW2 pwning each other and calling any sort of emotionality EMO
dont get me wrong and dont thumb me down, try understanding my point .
@0AhmadMetallic0 i dont think thats generally true...i think most Opeth fans are good about that kind of stuff. metalheads in general i agree with you, but i think these fans are different
Yes, Opeth conjures up a lot of emotions that swing to the extremes, one way or the other. I don't know what the textbook definition of "emo" music is, and I'm not trying to label Opeth. I just love the way they make me feel. Agressive when I want to feel agressive, and pensive when I want to reflect. The song writing is genious, to me. Sorry, no video games in my life. I don't know why you factored that in to your question?
@jonesy97 There isn't a textbook definiton of emo music, its a term made up to bash on trendy bands in the late nineties. The only people who use it are retards, as all music features emotion of some sort. Opeth is prog death metal.
Yeah, I've been an Opeth fan for many years, because they have a progressive taste, and have the heavy that I crave. Not a lot of prog death out there, but that's changing.
By far the best metal band yet, you never know what's coming next in their music. And by Akerfeldt not having known much theory, he's a God and has a powerful voice for his age.They're such a great band.And btw Moshing to Opeth is lame as fuck...
Can anyone give me the full model of Peter's PRS in this song ?

music is like fuel for the imagination, and Opeth are by far the best fuel going...

It doesn't make sense to call music emo, since emo is short for emotional, and I have yet to hear any good music that is devoid of emotion. Just saying.

im a big fan of rock, not metal, evenless death metal so in opeth ive find that mix of music, lyrics and concept of melodies what another bands dont have. Im very parcial in this and i realliy like so much only one person who can answers me this question: another band like opeth? none
Opeth fans are different, thats a truth like a stadium of big, basically for the emotions displayed in the lyrics..

I don't see Emo as music that has emotion, personally. I usually just associate it with the look that it is characterised by.. Opeth make emotional music but it is not EMO

im just wondering how so many of you are opeth fans, Opeth - a band which is based on raging deep emotion, while in real life i can bet you're all tough playing MW2 pwning each other and calling any sort of emotionality EMO
dont get me wrong and dont thumb me down, try understanding my point .

@0AhmadMetallic0 i dont think thats generally true...i think most Opeth fans are good about that kind of stuff. metalheads in general i agree with you, but i think these fans are different

I consider myself a huge Opeth fan. I own all their albums, see them live, etc...
While Death Metal is my favorite genre, I also listen to (don't laugh) Phil Collins, Brian Adams, Pink Floyd, some Country Music, etc...
What I do consider emo is the makeup wearing fags who cry about their girlfriends or their parents not understanding them.
I see nothing wrong with the emotionality that's beautifully presented by Opeth. It's beautiful, mature, and unique.

I like to think that people into complex deep usic like Opeth wouldnt be as 0AhmadMetallic0 describes.
But then again Im one of those guys with alot of "raging deep emotion" so maybe this is right up my alley? XD

Yes, Opeth conjures up a lot of emotions that swing to the extremes, one way or the other. I don't know what the textbook definition of "emo" music is, and I'm not trying to label Opeth. I just love the way they make me feel. Agressive when I want to feel agressive, and pensive when I want to reflect. The song writing is genious, to me. Sorry, no video games in my life. I don't know why you factored that in to your question?

@jonesy97 There isn't a textbook definiton of emo music, its a term made up to bash on trendy bands in the late nineties. The only people who use it are retards, as all music features emotion of some sort. Opeth is prog death metal.

Yeah, I've been an Opeth fan for many years, because they have a progressive taste, and have the heavy that I crave. Not a lot of prog death out there, but that's changing.

By far the best metal band yet, you never know what's coming next in their music. And by Akerfeldt not having known much theory, he's a God and has a powerful voice for his age.They're such a great band.And btw Moshing to Opeth is lame as fuck...
