Opeth - The Grand Conjuration - live at rock am ring 2006

[rabsisonutube]

... at this point nothing matters. Just enjoy the orgasm of music, and sound filling your ears, and your head and washing away any hate, or negative emotions and feelings you had. In place you feel yourself free'd from the binds and shackles and able to take onboard all else that surrounds you. Embrace the music, live the music, and enjoy it

[rabsisonutube]

I would by no means at all say I am a music knowledge buff. But Opeth would be one of my favourite chill out bands. I am not likening them to Dream Theatre, but hey are another band that I can listen to the same song over and over and each time hear something that I didnt hear the previous time. You can be in an absolute shit mood and want to destroy yourself and tear things apart, put on some music like this, close your eyes and set yourself in the middle of the sound stage.....

[thegoatandthegallows]

is that a 'vlad the impaler' shirt akerfeldts got on?

[garrettjohnsen]

I pitted A LOT at both Opeth shows I saw. And they were awesome. I don't know what's up here.

[umpocodtudo]

""BLADES"""

[disturbedbass49]

It's amazing how they can be both brutal and beautiful in one song.

[denmyos]

they should play at wacken instead-- \m/

[greatfox1]

it's ok... masses don't comprehend odd time signatures...

[cuaer21]

mmm... nopp!!

[MrMacGrungy]

This is why I hate BIG concerts, their almost never as fun, and intimate as a club setting :D

[izzyalistair]

Wow, is the crowd made up of zombies?



[SuperMetalhead96]

iv watched many vids from this concert... the crowd is fucking dead the whole time

[FlamingoSnuff]

31 people obviously do not enjoy this video.

[chrimsonJ]

Didn't know Peter and Axe ever played together...hmm

[ItsameDrew]

I've only seen opeth live once, they sucked that night :( shame

[fabianaso]

What the hell with that crowd!, I mean, There is more emotion in a chess game than this. If I were there, I would be headbanging in the heavy parts of the song and coming in the soft ones.

[WhenTheMoonFalls]

lol, looks like your typical prog metal crowd

[Rurouni101]

I liked this...only because it's Opeth.

[opethinchains]

"imagined" not portrayed. lol whoops.

[opethinchains]

im one of the biggest opeth fans u'll EVER hear of, and i gotta kinda strain this out, but.....ok, here goes. this performance of this song, not as good as i portrayed. been a fan of this song since the very day this album came out. and this is the first time i heard it live. :(

[Maxarcc]

@opethinchains

I agree, they are normally amazing live though.

[opethinchains]

@Maxarcc for real.

[aksh666satanist]

the most boring live show...the crowd sucks...

but 0peth was great..is great and will remain the greatest

[Viperous324]

OMG if i were michael i would have thrown my guiter at the head of the tallest one of the crowd.....like they have no souls !!!!

[klynt23]

wat fag crowd fest id fucking push every1 there and get a pit of death going.

[Soilwar]

Think positive - the crowd is in an awe paralysis. ;)

[POPmaster11]

lol, look at that guy falling over at 8:08.

At least he was actually moving.

[parabola1212]

i love how anybody who has ever heard of opeth automatically doesn't like shit bands like disturbed or nickelback. thats the way it should be

[Canceroth]

@parabola1212 Unfortunately, I know (not friends of mine) plenty of emo types that like Opeth... or at least SAY they do. It is a great shame.

[Canceroth]

@parabola1212 Unfortunately, I know (not friends of mine) plenty of emo types that like Opeth... or at least SAY they do. It is a great shame.

[aksh666satanist]

@parabola1212 i love both opeth and disturbed but not nickelback..

[solonaviavenger]

@parabola1212 i like disturbed

[ErrMalote]

it's a fucking festival not everyone is there for opeth, some might just be checking out opeth for the first time.

[Ninforadio]

stupid crowd xD that's why most metal bands love south america ... we are really into it xD at least i would be focused and singing... just my opinion...

[EdUntouchable93]

seriously, impossible to mosh to opeth? you gotta be kiddin' me... but when you look to the crowd, not even a fuckin' headbang? seriously, I'm a proud crowd hater, that crowd is just dead, it's a waste... a band like this deserve a way better crowd :O

[TheSupermonkeypants]

YAY OPETH!

[chr1sjeh]

To all the crowd haters.

Seriously, picture yourself standing there, if you would going all nuts and trying to moshpit or something, your really forcing yourself to do so.

Opeth is music to enjoyed, and honestly I cant picture myself else then singing along and raising my devilhorns.

[timebomb098]

@chr1sjeh i know right likes it impossible to mosh to opeth

[TheMaxReborn]

@chr1sjeh It's not just with opeth. Itäs with NEARLY every band wich plays there. And a lot don't know what to do with them selves. Belief me. I've been there and I tryed to start something moving. I gave up in the end.

BUT. Youre right. you can't really do that at Opeth. You have to enjoy it ;)

[TheHeavy666Metal]

are they playing in a fucking cemetary because everyone is dead.

[BraydonSzafranski]

Haha! Mikael at the end 'Dat was SSSHHIT'

[BraydonSzafranski]

Their guitars sound like they're underwater... Why is it so hard for such an amazing band to get a good break on sound all these years? Even the XX tour was plagued by sound problems...

[Andredias164]

wow awesome crowd...NOT -.-'

[jillmann0essenz57]

'Vocal sounds evil!

[shadowlink2000000009]

The lead singer looks bad ass O_O

[Soilwar]

I just wonder: Does anybody think Axe is better than Martin Lopez?

[Sentient7Seven]

@Soilwar Yes, I do. I truly love Martin Lopez but Axe seems to have more confidence in his drumming.

[hillysats]

@Sentient7Seven

True, everything sounds abit more 'pronounced'.

[ickerolig]

Swedens pride.....Opeth IS magic

[hessian75]

No keyboard player rocks as hard as Per Wiberg;)

[herleftarms]

starting from 8:08 girl on the bottom right corner flips 2 birds and falls of a guys back lol

[zorac91]

I wouldn't be moshing to opeth actually. I just can't. You can only contemplate their art and singing to their perfect songs.

[dcmx19]

opeth is so awesome, they dont put out albums, they put out observations. because their work is more than music, its a way of life and its the reason im here.

[bjorn860]

Nickelshit sux, Opeth Rlz For The Win!

[hjeb1986]

and opeth was born and death metal was never the same...for good

[Progknight94]

I can't never get enough of them...

[FenderStrat777]

This song is creativity on so many levels. . . i'm not a giant fan of this style of music, but credit and respect must be given to these artists. . . bravo

[lord2112]

Opeth lifted music to a complete new level. Talking about music in a R n' B and hip hop or whatever sense, u cannot mention opeth too.,...you need to find another word...this word is: art. Art is what Opeth is about

[BloodyCannibalCorpse]

@lord2112 Indeed.

[BloodyCannibalCorpse]

HOW DARE THEY! Goddamn spoiled fuckers anyway... :( If I where there I'd just go crazy :P

[daniel3247]

3:00 EPIC FACE

[FelonyFighter101]

I say fuck the goverment. everyone should just get high and listen to opeth.

[k5lta]

i dont get high,but i agree lol

[animemerc]

all you ppl sayin this isnt that good of a song or band for that matter then u haven't gotten high and listened to a whole album...and have a ear for music ;)

[greenoath74]

just boring, fucking boring music trying to seems intellectual and progressive.

isn't progressive ...is degressive death metal

[stereonpl11]

@greenoath74 This is a song based on atmosphere, so is this album... and Opeth is more intellectual than most bands are.

[animemerc]

@greenoath74 obviously u haven't gotten high and listened to a whole album straight but ill get ya that more ppl say this music it awesome cuz they got nothing but a cd collection and a bong ;)

[tanakarf]

@greenoath74 youre either an idiot or have poor taste

[EccentricbyNature]

@greenoath74 you have no reason to view opeth. you don't deserve to view. Kindly go and die now.

[Lbradsteen]

A dude falls off his buddy's shoulders on the right side of the screen at 8:50.

With the crowd scattered so loosely just think how easy to get up front. Would have loved to be there.



[XeanMarco]

nickleback is alternative , seethers to , opeth is progressive black metal

[smallvile1992]

@XeanMarco Opeth is progressive DEATH metal and progressive rock.

[ReikTerralt]

Opeth is just so fucking good

[musicanmagican]

i want mikael akerfelt to sing me to sleep at night

[Padfoot85]

Why the fuck are opeth at Rock am ring? Seriously this totally is beneath them. And the crowd blows.

[DominoChallenger]

Audio - 7

Video - 6

Crowd - 2

Opeth - ∞

[kinggilly23]

@DominoChallenger haha its not that really a crazy song.

[trulyawakened]

@DominoChallenger Crowds at the rock am ring always suck.

[Flyingtobs]

Opeth = eternal awesomeness

[wooplah]

looks like opeth showed up on the wrong stage, at least judging from the crowd

[007Pogo]

Comparar a esta banda con nickelback es como comparar mago de oz con dream theater, bola de idiotas -.-

[Behemoth941]

What prs model is Peter using? and what color is it?

[littlegldgti]

Hahaha don't tell sabian Axe is using 2 Paiste Chinas in this.. hehe hes so awesome.

[brianz1214]

Im sure the crowd is to blown away to be moshing 

[AndreEclipseHunter]

Axe is a great drummer, but I hate it when he starts playing songs like that too fast

[RuNeSCaPeR133]

And the crowd goes mild!

[KEEPAWAYVILEANDBILE]

this crowd blows theres no moshing come on at least have a jumping pit

[FuckingFaithless]

@KEEPAWAYVILEANDBILE Opeth is too good for that shit.

[KEEPAWAYVILEANDBILE]

@FuckingFaithless how if its groove metal then there would be moshing not to mention if u say opeth is to good for that then ur callin dimmu borgir,slayer,lamb of god,behemoth,etc bad?

[SZPWS1777]

Absolutely fucking brutal !!!

[DEADMANSJOURNAL]

In my opinion, in order to listen to Opeth, you must 1. BE AWESOME! 2. Like GREAT music! 3. Have loud ass speakers!

[xXMetallica4everXx]

@DEADMANSJOURNAL well i match all of those so that must be good XD

well I don't know if im awesome but listening to Opeth makes you so....

[balerinauzicka]

Faster Pussycat is better.

[COBHCHATE]

valen verga todos los ke estan de publico

[MrYeswecan14]

this song is fucking epic

[aocslayer]

this shit is awesome man hes 1 talented mother fucker :) :)

[poiuytreza11]

i bet that crowd would go crazy for justin bieber

[butholemonkey12]

is this song in standard tunning?

[LinoleumKnife79]

@butholemonkey12 Drop D

[joeceph]

@butholemonkey12 @LinoleumKnife79 It's (afaik) open Dmin (DADFAD), not simply drop-D (DADGBE)

[groscaca69]

that crowd suck big time, Opeth rock!

[rovibe]

@groscaca69 --Dude, it's a festival. Dozens of bands play morning to night, 3 or 4 days in a row, and all those people are standing the whole time. It's always this way at the big festival shows. Try it and you'll know. You'll be dying to sit down after 72 hours of standing up.

[Draxxor]

his keyboard man is fucking headbang beast

[Heagbanger666]

what a bunch of assholes they don´t know what doest it means Opeth in the real world of Metal.

[LePraChaUnKILLER666]

epic song

epic band

not so epic crowd

[DrEviscerator666]

Rock Am Ring is Shit! Look at this Crowd! This is OPETH Playing! Crowd Has to Be CRAZY! This a Real Honor To See Opeth Live, but this pussies aren't Even Enjoying! They are not worthy of watching Opeth! Respect To The 5 People I saw on the Vid Beadbanging!

[o8MetalHead8o]

man Mik Akerfeltd has the collest guitars

[futschikadda]

no rock am ring is more mainstream , if bands like opeth or in flames come , only a few people are here to hear them , the others hear bands like billy talent or something

[carpetlint2000]

Martin Lopez > All

[helloffire43]

man martin lopez is better then the new drummer because he doesnt need to bash he drums like that to make it sound good

[MetalJMD]

Opeth should only play in a dark lit venue, it suits the music so much better, i would hate to see them in the middle of the day like this.

[carpetlint2000]

@MetalJMD agreed. i would want to see them in a dark swamp full of demons....

[abhijithtk]

this quality is so shitty.... i have the hd of this.. its so amazing. this sounds like crap

[hjeb1986]

i want to believe that all the crowd is stoned cz i would've been head banging and moshing like crazy there

[SIrcam769]

Más de la mitad de la gente que está ahí abajo no entiende la música de Opeth.

[tunn13]

Opeth is too complicated for the crowd, they are waiting for In Flames or whatever :)

[voodoochild1029]

@tunn13 In Flames back in the day was one of the best... i think they're just enjoying the music... complex music takes concentration

[tunn13]

@voodoochild1029 Yep of course they were the best, Clayman is the ultimate melodic death metal album for me. I'm also a fan of them, but the fact is they are easier to watch,listen and headbang to. Yeah complex music takes concentration but still you can headbang at least from time to time right,?Just to keep the band pumped up... That's the way the metal concerts go.

[TigerTaint]

yea! mendez is slapping the fuck out of that bass!

[Danimalson]

They all just shocked by the awesomeness of OPETH !!!!

[danevati]

I guess that 29 people where that shocked because of the music, that they missed the like botton

[Cobrarocker]

germans are stupid robots, probably they wanted to see metallica or some other stupid crappy comercial band... stupid germans

[LHondrums]

@Cobrarocker actually germany is one of the best markets for them. rock am ring is just the wrong festival 4 opeth.

[thenateos]

@Cobrarocker You seems to forget these 'stupids germans' - as you say so - host the most important festival of metal music worldwide ... so, if someone stupid here, must probably be you and your childish comment.

[danevati]

@Cobrarocker YEAH!!!! FUCK THE NAZIS!!!! :D

[yersejam]

prolly this is metallica crowd. now they are trying to understand what's going on on the stage. then they (or %90 of them) buy another ticket to go mad in a opeth gig heheh.

[itsallgood239]

The crowd sucks. But this is how it goes for me atleast: I mosh and do crazy shit in the crowd more of when I'm seeing bands I don't care for as much. Or unless it's one of those bands that you gotta mosh to. But there are some bands like Opeth where I'd just be chillin and really observing the music. Their music is so good.

[getoutofmyinternet]

@itsallgood239 Sometimes it's difficult to mosh to Opeth because of the acoustic breaks. You'll be going crazy and all of the sudden the band will break into a folky groove. haha

[247randomshit]

@itsallgood239 why call them shitty then if they maybe just observing the music? lol

[k5lta]

im with you.

[DrKillinSpillin]

@itsallgood239 Opeth is hard to mosh too, think about it =P With all those time changes and shiz.

[SirAwsomness]

@itsallgood239 exactly. even thought itd be awesome if everyone went crazy

[CApokides]

stupid crowd!!!



[applexxcore]

there should be a Metal am Ring. 

[chl69]

Rock am Ring is not a metal festival. I guess the crowd was expecting something like Rammstein or Evanescence and was scared by the growls :-)

[DrEviscerator666]

@chl69 ,Cheers Dude! Akerfeldt Made Their Nightmares come True \m/

[pingu53]

if i was playing to that crowd, id just wanna leave

[aligatorsandwitch72]

I think the best time to go see Opeth would be at four in the morning at a medium sized club where they have like a two hour set. THAT WOULD BE BADASS

[DealeyGW]

And now I know why the big 4 decided to make a DVD in Bulgaria, not in Germany (no offense)...

P.S. Killer performance by Opeth... Amazing!!!

[dudu1125]

what the fuck is wrong with the fuckin crowd?

[xXMetallica4everXx]

@wazhumalafo every death metal band has to shuffle behind Death

[yourname50]

This mix is awkward, the keyboards are way to high.

[Lunatic4Bizcas]

@yourname50 : Are you kidding me!!? The keyboard completely contribute to the atmosphere and aura of tension, which is the intent of this song. If anything, the keyboards complement the other instruments that in unison conjure a powerful musical sentiment, which is the obvious intent of the musicians. This is one of the better live performances of Opeth that I've seen on Youtube.

[Miskatakeable]

Now I know why Opeth doesn't like big arenas

[imapisces23]

i love opeth theyve never failed even though most of the original band is gone as long as michael akerfeldt is still there opeth will live on

[skater15153]

god he got so much fucking sustain out of that PRS

[captaincompost123]

crowd was lame as hell sept for one dude right in the middle at 0:28.

[Justin011794]

lame crowd, or way-too-amazed-to-move crowd? i cant decide xD

[xPyro13]

@Justin011794 I'll give it half and half lol

[psychoboyhelicoidal]

tremendisimo tema, lo parte !!!

[betterthandirt]

Wow.... seriously, the does the mix sound really muddy to anyone besides me?

[oombomb]

@OaklandWhiteElephant

You can't be serious. nickleback isn't metal, and seether is a emo-faghat band. Opeth on the other hand...

[applexxcore]

@oombomb he's trolling.

[NoShelter15]

@oombomb

As much as I love Opeth..Seether is indeed EMOTIONAL. Emo is just a stupid stereotype. They aren't faghats either.

[mattrockcrazy]

@OaklandWhiteElephant if you're so bad ass , why don't you come here at my place, i'm gonna beat you to death and shoot you in that fucking head of yours

[mattrockcrazy]

@OaklandWhiteElephant we should forgive you, virginity makes things hard for guys like you

[phichens]

@OaklandWhiteElephant All you mentioned there was toss "gateway" metal, when you finally hit puberty then you may understand the grandeur and supremacy of opeth. FYI nickelback is some of the worst music ever yet alone worst rock.

[StrikerTheLizard]

@OaklandWhiteElephant Haha, nice trolling, bro. 0/10, though. You made it a little too obvious when you mentioned Nickleback and Seether.

[OaklandWhiteElephant]

@StrikerTheLizard Ah yes, the old "I can't refute what he said because I know he's right, therefore I'll just say he's trolling so I automatically win!"

Sorry, but that shit doesn't cut it. Grow up and listen to REAL metal. Not this mallcore bullshit. I would suggest Theory of a Deadman or Disturbed. Disturbed has solos on their last albums that put this shitty band to shame. Now get the fuck out of here.

[StrikerTheLizard]

@OaklandWhiteElephant Wow, this one's even better. But, again, too obvious.

"Grow up and listen to REAL metal. - I would suggest Theory of a Deadman or Disturbed." I was with you until this. Try harder, maybe one day, you'll actually do some proper trolling.

Oh, and if you're serious, go fuck yourself. Opeth is miles above Disturbed or TOAD, musically and technically. Also, Disturbed's new album sucks a bunch of cocks.

P.S. - Not mallcore, it's Progressive Death Metal.

[ihateeveryoneequaly]

@OaklandWhiteElephant lol Wow. Nickleback? Seether? "get educated"? You should be exiled to the worst place on earth for using the phrase "REAL metal" and the bands Nickleback and Seether in the same sentence.

[NicotineArmoir]

I'd punch every person in that crowd in the fucking head. How can you listen to Opeth and not move? I'd be losin it the entire show!

[Lightbringer1234]

5:04 they think its all over :p

couldn't be more wrong XD

[soufiano0s]

So FUCKING Great Band ! |m|

[gurkenkauf]

i hate "rock am ring". i dont get why the hell opeth went to it or other awesome bands.

[312ethandrummer]

this is such a good a good song. fuck the crowd, enjoy the music!

[metal0311]

CROWD SUCKS!

They definitely need to know the definition of Opeth

[pgilbert87]

as they do that to the 5:18?

[Vypyr05]

what a fucking awful crowd...

[BDN005]

my god if i was rich id pay him to sing me to sleep

[metal0311]

@BDN005 Totally =B

[giantrobot9000]

I just played a show the other night with a "dead" crowd, and I was thinking the same thing watching this video............how much it sucks as a performer to not see people moving or visibly enjoying your music!

[asdewqasdfgh]

people dont understand unless they have played shows that the band feeds off the crowd and if they just stand there it doesnt give the band as much engery sometimes. outdoor shows tend to be a lot less intimate as well.

[ConvokedDemon]

i reckon Opeth should play songs like Karma and Serenity Painted Death. Those songs will get the crowd going fuckin' nuts. Or, Ghost of Perditon !!

[culley65]

I'd be going freakin' bananas if I was there. What a crap audience.
