Opeth - Face of Melinda (Roundhouse Tapes)

[drummer25664]

Well one of the draw backs of living in Los Angeles, 1. no radio station here would ever play any Opeth . Yes rock radio sucks here. 2 because of that , they will probably never play here because the only people who know of them are people who have played ' Saints Row' and some through word of mouth. Commercial radio blows major chunks, especially here in L.A.

[Opethfan79]

Fingers crossed. I pray they play this song when I go see them in Sept. One of my favorite songs of all time.

[TheBoaConstrictor95]

This song can increase chances of fertility. 

[germainetsessaucisse]

awesome TREMOLLLLOOooOOooOO  4:11

[metaldemon52]

it's art

[timmafee0]

what cum nugget piece of shit could possibly dislike this video?

[gotmilkyes1d0]

@timmafee0 thank fuck theres only two of them out there. however 2 is still worrying..

[Luv4Maynard]

One thing I would really like to ask Mike about is whether there is a running theme throughout the first few albums, because a theme emerges with the character of Melinda, with the male main character dying probably partway through either MAYH or possibly in the song "The Moor" or "Serenity Painted Death" on Still Life...any other thoughts?

[prepucci]

@Luv4Maynard so far he hasn't confirmed that the albums share a character... maybe it's just the part of him on each song what makes you feel that they have a connection, i don't know.... still, he certainly did a concept album which is Still Life... and sometimes I feel the way you do...

[DaveLesPaul]

I'm not even a deathmetal fan, but these songs just sucked me in. I couldn't help but listen. really.

[fnuggie]

@DaveLesPaul It's not death metal either, but i'm glad you joined the rest of us in this collective orgasm! :)

[VBshredder]

@fnuggie true, but def some death metal elements in there for sure. coming from a non death metal fan perspective like I did Opeth definitely feels like entering the death metal world when i first heard it. but i hear ya, its not cannibal corpse

[MauroRincon]

@VBshredder it's not cannibal corpse, thank god!

[DODIGEHE]

does mikael play his signature type guitar ?

[slypenguin0]

@DODIGEHE

yeah and a custom 24

both PRS

[CavatinaTV]

@DODIGEHE Yes he does. You can see him playing it live on the last DVD at the royal Albert hall.

[phreestylesk8r]

from my favorite opeth album

[Evanhalf]

Opeth, to me, is an infallible band. They can make songs that are extremely dark and brutal and completely abandon traditional song formulas while at the same time they can make songs that are soft, organic, more traditionally structured, and immensely beautiful. In a century, I think Opeth's music will not only maintain it's relevance in the music industry, but it will continue to inspire the generations to come.

[LIVS10]

6:32 looks like the keyboardist is trying to show himself to the camera

Opeth rules!!! My favorite band nowadays.

[S8nklr]

Every track of Opeth is like a short story in itself...A really good short story... Love it when the accentuation is dead on accurate and is at the place where its sposed to be at..

[mycreation3]

melinda is mikael akerfeldts daughter...OPETH is truly amazing,one of my favorite bands,and a major influence in my music writing...

[Steelfossil]

I've always wondered who Melinda is.

[omdursun]

@Steelfossil Melinda is second one of his daughters, the other one is Mirjam.

[bloodandfire1968]

Recently discovered Opeth. Fuck the emotion in the music (death metal or Jazzy) great band, great musicians!!

[LastDayInSin]

I love how metalheads use "commercial" like it's not an opinion, but rather a fact. Such smart musicians, why can't the fans follow suit?

[TAjeios]

i really love roundhouse tapes, really exelent show

[PuReNiRvANA1]

all these people comparing opeth to d.t. dream theather is fucking garbage and commercial

[ryudo113]

@PuReNiRvANA1 At least spell it right... Dream Theater is FUCKIN kickass. So is Opeth.

[OnePassionateGirl]

One of my favs

[05insomnium]

Does anyone know how loud Opeth concerts usually are? I know this is an odd question but i really need to know.

[Niamorg1007]

@05insomnium I went to the progressive nation tour, and their sound level was alright. Dream Theater's gig was louder.

[masteropuppetz66]

@05insomnium ive been to 4 Opeth gigs... the first was when they were still relatively unknown and they played at Canes Bar & Grill in PB in PB ... it was small and i was right next to the right speaker the whole time... it was LOUD... but then the other times i saw them at House of Blues which and the sound was PERFECT... the Prog Nation tour at Universal Studios tho, their set was a little quieter than DTs...

[waxercrane]

Opeth es lo mejor, a Mendez se le ve bien chingona la mata (:

[TheLastBaron16]

B-e-a-utiful song

[kingmetalant]

What a song (album) and it sounds soo good ;)

[chevelleandopeth]

@kingmetalant still life and it does sound good 

[SoulOfMetal92]

Face of melinda

[AdeBfmv]

This is one of my favourites, pure eargasmic.

[juchel]

fred is a monster guitar player, ex-Arch Enemy

[metallicafrila20]

what is their setlist?

[kookietur]

Now the deathheads goes to the bar for more beer , or shaking the whistle.

[felipe3600]

nope, they stay

[chrisy722]

@kookietur or they go to the toilet and cry for their love...

[Brayds]

This song is so fucking unbelievably good.

[esam085]

best song ever... Felinda dove sei?

[LpPrsGuy]

i want peter back in the band..saw them yesterday live in cologne and thought .. the spirit is gone away from this band..i still like their songs..but the new guitarist cannot replace peter..but still good music ! Windowpane ..

[gunglitcher]

Neither can Axe ever replace Lopez but we gotta deal with it unfortunately. They are good replacements but I'm sure we all wish Peter and Lopez were back.

[SnollaSnax]

I know what your saying however I disagree. I've seen them live with Peter and then again with the new guy. The new guy is a brilliant guitarist. Lopez had a lot of feeling but technically I believe this guy is more of a metal-mechanical player and I swear his sticks should have caught fire during some points of the show. Both lineups are/were great but the point is I don't think anything is lost with the new lineup.

[thecraig1988]

i hope mendez grows his hair back like on this vid!

[ivan619666]

thats wath music is all abaut

one of my favorite songs i love it

[silver34324]

this is what i call....MUSIC

[Oskmos]

its not music, it's ORGASM

[murmaider668]

Opethgasm

[psyshock918]

Eargasm

[steadyisgod]

Peter never ever looked enthused to play did he. Fred is so much more energetic and interesting. Although Fred looks like a FROG!

[TomAR4YA]

Yeah man, i saw em in munich a week ago, and he did the solos with so much feeling

[tremonti27]

It's weird, that's kinda what I liked about Peter. He's just so calm when he's playing, but not really in a boring way.

[psyshock918]

How'd you get this before the DVD came out?

[Greensmurf]

It was on the bonus DVD of the new Still Life special edition

[deathbizcuit]

This song and Opeth is awesome.

I dont wanna tell something anymore...

<3 <3 <3

[epitaph0]

Awesome song, Opeth classic ...

[iGiova85]

Awensome song! Opeth rules!

[Neoclassicalguitar89]

Where to buy this show as a dvd? when will it be in stores? i have only seen it as a CD..

Uhh i saw opeth live in malmø yesterday.. ultra sweet

[616MetalMoses616]

October or November sometime i think in europe. im not sure in toher places. check the Nuclear Blast website it might be on there, as it was in a nuclear blast magazine i saw the date.

OPETH FOR lIFE

[wiggmortem]

It's hair and sweat. But it would be pretty epic since the song is so gloomy

[InfamousDominion]

You could be right, he might be crying. I think its cool. There is nothing wrong with a man crying. A man crying show no fear.

[EdguyRocket]

its his hair

[silver34324]

omg 4:07 mikael is crying??? :S

[IAmSofaKingAwesome]

sweat. but this song makes me want to cry for sure.

[DubbleD123me]

hes probably just sweaty haha

[StealerAG]

I guess that the thing you see is hairs

[RobWaade]

only bleak and this have been released to the public. (or leaked i duno)

[Ziaxool]

I'm sorry, but I think I will have to Flag this. This video is just *too* awesome.

[Kallstorm]
