Candlemass - At The Gallows End w/ Micke OPETH

[ruszomalkuko]

Matou a pau!!!!

[MrShalvayez]

Every current doom metal band owes Candlemass a beer.

[scrumdown2007]

Johan Längqvist is For many THE Candlemass Vocalist,Debut Albums are Always GREAT, but MESSIAH MARCOLIN set the standard and took Candlemass to another Level! He is also UNIQUE and EPIC, I Like Opeth and Micke vocals but er Is this Rob Singing Karaoke or he's not Bothered or Bored???? WTF????? Seriously WTF! this a an Abominationation of such and Epic Song and Album. Oh and if any fans born after 1995 wishes to comment, Research Candlemass before replying! Disgraceful!

[citizen773]

fucking amazing! Opeth and Candlemass are my favorite swedish metal bands!

[AkisDoom]

Check out the version with JOHAN LANGQUIST

(Epicus Doomicus Metallicus vocalist)

This version is beyond imagination! JOHAN's voice is a miracle!

/watch?v=DXTuvAYnJK0

[A4moondoggy]

someone who can cover messiah right

[metalgod1967]

nothing wrong with death vocals in a doom song. death doom is a good genre, when done right.

[codyhansonbass]

I wish Mike was the permanent vocalist for Candlemass.

[Solitudinis]

@codyhansonbass Don't... It would be a sacrilege for such great band... Johan, Messiah and Robert have better clean vocals then Mikael!!! Btw I adore Opeth a lot :)

[insidethefall78]

mike should have sung the whole thing in a clean voice...the death vocals seem awkward in this song

[ADeadHeaDz]

@insidethefall78 Amen.

They don't fit the song at all, and it sounds completely retarded switching between them.

[Kazelfox]

This just proves that anything Mikael touches turns into solid 24K gold.

[pompierevolante]

marcolin messiah rules.

sparati tu e tutti i componenti degli opeth.

quando canti manca tutto, pathos, originalità ed intonazione.

ma che cazzo l'hai cantata a fare?

[kristblud]

is he reading the words off that paper?

[kristblud]

i like the original more

[dethtoallbutmetal666]

I dont know what you guys are talking about. This fucking kills.

[boomershadow]

Mike kicked the ass out of this song, and it's a pretty good song to begin with. Anyways, it was just one gig and one song, so if you don't like the growling then go listen to the album.

[Sleepy1988]

Candlemass with Opeth's singer, AWESOME!

[GodinSDXTguitars]

My favorite vocalist singing the best clean-vocal piece ever, wish I was there, fucking amazing.

[dani1928]

Mikael>God

[dogstar1967]

Some of you guys are real vicious critics of Michael A being the guest "singer" if you will,the crowd there didn't seem to have a problem with him on stage,he wasn't getting booed....bum rushed off the stage..none of that...just cheers.

[AliceDamnation]

Uou... this is just the best 2 in 1 I've ever seen!!! Love!!

[PaXx]

Translation:

Candlemasses singer (?): "Do you recognize this guy"

Mikael Åkerfeldt: "I'm just a LITTLE drunk ^^"

[Peacehand]

Listen to this at least once everyday on the way home from work.

[Renkaru]

this version>>>>>>>>>>>>lowes attempt.

[Nomekiller]

WHy the devil do you write "Micke"?? I know swedes like to shorten michael into Micke, but its just so terrible!

[cortez1029]

WOW!!!! GREAT JOB..... f**king up the song!!!!

[DinosaurJr8]

This is wonderful! Yay Mikael! It's great that Candlemass let him sing a song

[deusintroclades696]

I like Death Metal and I like Candlemass. Not a fan of Opeth but he has good vocals, not spectacular or anything...but damn his growls don't suit this song at all.

DOOM.

[MrSeeman13]

ade geia!!!

[0sama16]

it's not a bad COVER! but old one is by far the best..

[DyingWarlord]

It's not a conver! the band is Candlemass, the singer it's the only one that is not part of the band he is the singer of Opeth

[nimitz1983]

A dying donkey you fucking idiot. What you heard was a vocalist who can actually sing operatically not like most shit you surley listen to.

[SirNosferatu]

Nah what I heard was far from operatic, and what I'm reading is a poor attempt to judge someone based off of their opinion. Vitas Opera #2, now that's operatic, pretty wierd, but vocals are definitely operatic. This dude, dying donkey. If only that thumbs down option had an effect. lmao

[SamFisher338]

I respect Opeth and Micke but I think that growls don't fit to Candlemass. It's Epicus Doomicus Metallicus after all, it should have epic vocals.

[burnashell666]

dude......its Nightfall........

[SamFisher338]

I know, but the first album's title symbolizes Candlemass' sound

[burnashell666]

nah,i think that epicus was different from the albums with messiah on vocals.

[Mailrobot]

he means that epic doom metal is what candlemass does. the epic in epic doom has nothing to do with how Messiah sings. That'd be saying that unless you have Messiah's vocals, you arent epic doom...which is ridiculous.

[MemOpeth]

i will buy the dvd just to have this video in better quality

[MemOpeth]

i liked the whole vocals, growls are damn,fucking great even if the original version doesnt have

i love the vocals sound from 3:14 to 3:28

he kicked messiah`s ass definitly

mike is fucking great

hes has to be from another planet

[burnashell666]

to MemOpeth.

ANTE GAMHSOU POUSTH KSEKWLIARH GAMW TO SPITI SOU POU THA MILHSEIS GIA MESSIAH PALIOADERFH!

[pantso3040]

Ela re ELLADARA!!! kala tou pes tou apistou pou evale sto stoma tou ton messiah kai eipe oti malakia tou rthe

[EL93THRASHER]

dude, seriously, you can't be SO gay.

Go listen to your Opeth and leave Candlemass and Messiah for the ones that understand music.

O MESSIAH SE GAMAEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

[quadrupleplay]

I listen to both bands, so I apparently have created a paradox.

[BEPrimAnim]

You're a fuckin govnar' and you listen to polnaya xynta

[mariahetfield]

growls?

why? =S

wtf? =S

shit.=S

and it was good so far =S

[Tombking2]

I seem to be the only one not catching what's so grand about this video. I can't say growling fits the least to doom metal, Well, atleast not to Candlemass.

[burnashell666]

thank you.

[OwnedByMoomin]

reading the lyrics kind a suck but anyway candlemass rule and this song was played in my room over and over again back in the time. my parents were so happy after they realized what they had done. they bought me a heavy duty amplifier and speakers for my birthday at on off in östersund... i played for my neighbours at the house across the street

[burnashell666]

ITS NOT FUCKING OPETH YOU FUCKING FOOL AKERFELDT!ITS CANDLEMASS.WHY THE FUCK DID HE GROWL AND RUIN THE SONG?!

MESSIAH HAD TO BE THERE.HE WOULD KICK HIS ASS!

i still cant believe it -_-

[StAngersucks]

He made it better! Why would Candlemass invite such a singer (the best) if they don't like it? :S

[burnashell666]

i dont give a shit if leif and the other guys like it..

but he ruined the song.growls?!why growl you fag?!

[craneocandente]

Shut the fuck up, poser.

[burnashell666]

oh,what an insult.

[StAngersucks]

Honestly kinda sad when a guy that doesn't even know the lyrics does it better than the original. In my opinion. And my opinion is the one that matters!

[Tombking2]

Go and swallow your own balls.

[StAngersucks]

I'm afraid they don't fit.

[StAngersucks]

Or wait - was that the lyrics?! :S Nothing unexpected, really.

[GodheadsLament]

To be honest, after having written amazing lyrics for 9 albums of his own, not to mention the lyrics for the first two Bloodbath records, I don't blame him for not taking the risk of forgetting the line half-way through. He does an amazing job, and that's what counts ;)

[hunthell]

Wow. Way to go Mikael.

[jollytorax]

This is the best version of this song I've ever heard, IT'S SO FUCKING HEAVY!

[concrete852]

Not a big fan of growled vocals. When he sings clean he has an amazing voice! But thats just me, im sure many people out there love it :)

[thygod]

I really wish he'd sing all the cleans at the proper pitch and not puss out. Dig the growls, though.

[TkMarx08]

mikaels clean vocals are amazing, so are his harsh, but i absolutely LOVE his clean vocals...

[Xemtoth]

Haha typical extrem metal singers, they cant resist doing harsh vocals even if they are supposed to do clean, excellent!

[TheMetalGods]

I love both bands but... no @ this combo.

[rockostas]

very good sound for an amateur vid

[HellPatrol6]

nice version!

[ShangTsung6]

Do society a favor and kill yourself for sprouting such bullshit.

[xXsentencedXx]

HELL YEAHHHH!!!!!!!

Fuck people like theozaki.\m/

[artemortis]

Do a youtube search for the song Ayreon-Day Three:Pain, then come back again ant tell me that he cant sing again.

[Arkayem]

Not even, tell that person to search Burden....easy Mikael pwns with that song hands down.

[freewillyy191]

youre an idiot

[Lisk0ninja]

I wonder what this song would sound like, with Mikael + Messiah?

I think that would be pretty fucking amazing!

[aggeliki5z]

kai esi eisai gia ton poutso

[PhilipAlexanderH]

rofl, pesta re kopelia :P

[aggeliki5z]

hehe

[netharis]

lol o agrammatos

[Samm3x]

Fuckin amazing! I love opeth and I recently started listening to candlemass and I say.. this song with Mikael as singer is fucking fucking amaziing!

[Necro8170]

That was fucking incredible! Mikael is a god on vocals nobody tops him!

[DouDleee]

Akerfield+candlemass=MAGIC!!!T­he song is simply wonderful!!!

[sheppoperth]

wow and thats not a impressed wow Robert Lowe is such an awesome singer why add shitty opeth music into it

[abyssalservant]

Akerfeldt in a straightforward doom band . . . man, if he toured in such a context to get that perfect-synch thing going, it'd be awesome.

Very nice.

[myxomatosis04]

sounds fucking great

[samhpe]

sweet, one of my all-time fav candlemass track, love the mix of clean and growl vocals!

[CumCooker]

Holy shit. Micke is amazing.

[etherealemblem]

amazing cleans, and great growls, Mikael is excellent, fuck they should have done a cover for an album, Opeth is kinda gloomy, and have had the lyrics of doom bands, even if the sound isn't.

[SpinningInsect]

omfg this is a jewel!! lol and what a grat voice by mikael

[metalfluffy]

definitely one of the best metal vocalists around

[kensamuel]

damn !! i remember buy a double metal blade lp with this jam on it but that one didn't sound as vicious as this video. candlemass, slayer, sacred reich and exciter should do a tour together. that'll be worth 100 bucks !!!

[Bl4ckPantera]

Ooh, Mikael Ackerfeldt made the song even better. The clean vocals are kinda ghey.

[BlackCathie]

err... headbanging dosen't match here well.

[morvius666]

This song was meant to headbang!!

[RedIce08]

perfect combination... mikael (not micke) and candlemass

[RITSACHRONOPOULOU]

nice combination of two completely different styles :) it now belongs to my favorite ones

[mjonas10]

I fuckin love that Micke puts in his own style by growling,really cool version!

[Nic9194]

im at the gallows end

[Silvanus45]

wow, does anyone know what happens when people cover a song?, they change it, they meld it more to their style, whats the point of covering a song if u make it sound exactly the same as the original?

eric clapton was supreme at covering songs,...

[mikepeeler666]

so were the Dead.

[darthathro]

I agree that the DEAD KENNEDYS did great things to crappy Elvis and David Allan Coe Songs.

[hoebahoe]

Great song. Grunting does't belong in this song.

[dethanus]

anything with Mike kicks ass

[ArntorEin]

WOW favorite bands

mixed

this made me cum

[eljimmer]

Opeth is pure fucking metal. Candlemass is pure fucking metal. Unfortunately, these two do not belong together.

[superzapper2000]

Opeth LMAO

[seraphale]

Heh heh, I tend to agree.. Although Mike has a beautiful voice.

[Sarastrah]

Suverän låt! Men videon... Nja... Men sångaren är en kopia av en ung Kenneth Sedahl från Säffle - eller vice versa...

[ntakaka]

love that name at the gallows end

[dragonbringer]

why fuck with a masterpiece is right...

[Salsten]

what a useless shit version

[tempel0r]

Micke is a great singer. He song well this song although he didn't know the lyrics

[jameskmb]

great version interpretation

[hjelte]

I liked it!

[superpanta]

the growl destroys this masterpiece.

[gzr0]

totally agreed

[jameskmb]

nah man the man can growl lol hes not at his best here cos he doesnt know the song too well but if you get into it hes got a great voice

[FDL84]

Bad or good you have to admire Akerfeldt's ability to change from clean to growl and back to clean without affecting his tonality. This is an interesting version!!

[Koura]

Oh for god's sake people.. The vocals don't even come close to the mastery of the original. The growls pretty much destroy the verse and even the clean parts are completely devoid of any emotion. And he sucks major ass at the chorus! He may be a good growler but as a singer he just can't touch Messiah.

[deadhouse]

MAN this is fucking badd ass, the growling part is amazing! What a concert..This brings tears to my eyes!

[NaShingOn]

And I like Opeth, but I think Mike make shit this song. I really prefer Messiah... It is just my point of view.

[deadhouse]

your point of view is really REALLY gay.

[NaShingOn]

Yeah, sure...

[66jess6]

Mikael was great on this. Robert Lowe is awesome on the new album. Both of them OWN Messiah's ass!

[ThereIsOnlyFate]

OMFG ...

one of the best things EVER !

only the "I'am at the gallows end" part is kinda weired ... the Opeth voice dictomy works perfectly though

[EduardMoret]

Mike!! the greatest vocalist!

[eoj019]

I agree 100%

[Vaising]

"jag är bara lite... full" haha, great!

[ThereIsOnlyFate]

translation ... please :o

[Vaising]

it means : "I'm just a little... drunk"

[SirNosferatu]

Mikael fucking honed that song, it's fucking badass. I would have to agree that he is the best vocalist to ever walk the planet. All you motherfuckers who insult him just have no taste in skill or music whatsoever.

[Ieronymous]

@SirNosferatu If you are looking for the best singer to ever walked the planet check John Arch of Fates Warning..and then we can talk...!!!

[SirNosferatu]

@Ieronymous A friend of mine actually posted these comments through my page. I can't say I like Fates Warning, but I have heard them before. I'm not really into those kind of vocals, i.e. Messiah/John Arch, but to each his/her own. The best singer is certainly a debatable topic, but I prefer listening to Mike over anyone else, after all he is the reason I viewed this video in the first place.

[Heinosity]

Both bands are amazing to me, two of my personal favorites, but this abosolutely sucks ass..and was a bad idea. The two have totally different sounds. Nobody but Messiah Marcolin should be allowed to sing this song. I question wether or not them hiring Rob Lowe from Solitude Aeturnus was a good idea or not now, I hope not.

[ddomz]

lowe is fantastic on the new record! I find that he adds some colours and emotions that are new to candlemass. It's different from the emotions that messiah and the other vocalists did give candlemass. Still good though. Candlemass rocks

[boltar2003]

I've heard pub bands do better covers than that.

[aquaimmy]

it's the original band (Candlemass) you dumbass, just with mikael as the singer

[StingieTheImpaler]

Man, Akerfeldt totally raped that song. Overrated by cumshooting Opeth fanboys.

[RedIce08]

that was fantastic, better than the super fuckin dramatic original singer

[bibouflu]

RedIce08 ==> Shut your mouth, you're just a fagg'. Really, you're a big dumb faggy asshole.

[morten666veland]

Mikael Akerfeldt= The best vocalist ever walked on planet

[oloringandoof]

I don't think Candlemass do Mikael Akerfeldt justice......

[papuchongo]

Is he reading the lyrics? lol fucking cool.

[papuchongo]

Michael is dressed funny. :]

[metalingus21]

Great Performance, i wish i was there, Damn it!

[Damuhaha]

and one of the most creative musicians ever.. just listen to bloodbath and several opeth songs

[Ohnani]

Other way around, Opeth, and several blodbath songs....;)

[fullmetalcornflake]

Mikael is a GOD!!!

[ddomz]

Man this is great! My all time idol, mike from opeth, with my all time fav doom metal band! That was great! I think mike brought his one influence to then song without ruining the atmosphere of the original. I liked that!

[irmunky]

you dolt...only too generic because they are one of the most influential bands ever and have been ripped off countless times since the 80's.

[floozyd]

the only reason i found this band worth listening to, is cos Akerfeldt! he is god!! the band in general... meh... too generic...

[VictimofAtkins]

It must be odd for the guy out of opeth not to be playing a song thats 14 minutes long. the clean singing worked the growling didn't

[User85]

aren't you clever and insightful! Opeth requires patience and more importantly, mental aptitude above that of a mongoloid 6 year old. have a wonderful day you thoughtless, knuckle dragging moron.

[VictimofAtkins]

well aren't you elitist! I can listen to opeth albums I have 3 of them I enjoy it, but I can listen to it 3 or 4 times and it doesn't sink in. I prefer Candlemass.

[Sventevith]

But I might add, Åkerfeldt is one of the best growlers this world have seen.

[Sventevith]

Only Opeth fans in this commentary or something?

I don't think his singing is that great compared to some other vocalists, if my ears don't betray me he's more towards the tenor areas rather than baritone - and a baritone is what's needed for Candlemass to do justice. Langqvist all the way!

[SixxHole]

The whole point of this was to do something different.

What would be the point if it was an exact immitation?

You're looking more into it than what it really is.

[Sventevith]

About your first two lines... What the heck? I didn't bash it for being different, in fact I didn't really bash anything at all - I was just expressing my opinion of Åkerfeldts clean vocals which I didn't think do Candlemass justice.

And looking too much into what? I don't see what you're getting at at all, seems like you just want to be provoked by a statement I did for no particular reason - eat some ice and come back when you've chilled down and can say something of substance.

[nadavnaz2]

It's cool\weird seeing mike without a guitar

[Kube2]

Brilliant!

[SixxHole]

Fucking godly. I can't believe how awesome he is.

[DarkVegetaman]

It's how he handles the growls AND the clean singing that is amazing.

[chrusty]

I love that he throws in the death growls. If anyone else did it, there would probably be complaints.

[Coronerox]

Killer.

[LeeFH]

damn, that's almost better than the original! :o

[nadavnaz2]

UBERDOOM (lol >?!)

[stefan86wtf]

holy shit. mike sings so good it's insane

[Pethical]

this fucking canes

[xnefeshx]

Crushing and beautiful.

[crackfare]

this must be the only non opeth show ive seen mike perform.

[Pethical]

bloodbath.

[CoSmoC]

AND early katatonia
