Growling is ****ing awesome, metal wouldn't be metal without it. And Tommy growls more than he sings.

No I mean that ridiculously low death metal growl where the words are indiscernible

Oh that super guttural thing. Yeah I'm not a super huge fan of that, it can be funny sometimes though like on Croakies and Boatshoes. Tommy's growl has gotten so much better than it used to be.

God yeah, I was listening to the first album in my car the other day and within like the first minute and a half of More Of Myself To Kill I hear that god-awful rrrgrgrrgrggrgrgrgrg and think "Why the hell have I never noticed that before? It's terrible" so I put Colors on and appreciated how much better he's gotten. Although the bit in More of Myself to Kill from about 1:30 onwards is epic as hell to rock out to in your car to the bemusement of the roadworkers standing 4 foot from your car.

Yeah, Blackwater park is probably a good starter. Sure was for me, took me some weeks to "get" them but when I really heard The Drapery Falls everything clicked for me. They've definitely been the most influential band for me. Åkerfeldt's such a genious, Everything he touches becomes awesome.

[QUOTE=Sad But True;17805386]I wish my lecturers looked like ancient Greeks.

Also what's the best Opeth album to get started on? I avoided them back when I first heard them because I didn't like Akerfelderinosaurustron's screaming/gutteral vocal bits, but now I kinda do.

Still can't spell his name though. I think I missed a umlaut or something.[/QUOTE]

tbh i dig his growling alot, but whatever

i'd say ghost reveries is my favorite, their best album in my opinion, but blackwater park is also great. probably their second best album in my opinion.

no no difference just modern and stylish

but ive 0.0 room to spare on my pedalboard, so i needed a dunlop cased wah, wanted it for some time so its done now before theres no more of em

I wasn't as immediately blown away by Ghost Reveries like I was with Blackwater Park but damn is it a good album, Ghost of Perdition and Harlequin Forest especially.

... and Baying of the Hounds, Grand Conjuration, Isolation Years. Ghost of Perdition's also a masterpiece. I love that album. Bah, I should just say I love all there albums.

I'm such a fanboi...

Well I won't be playing my guitar for a while. I broke my ****ing arm. :mad:

Lol, how?

Fell down some icy stairs and my arm got caught up in the chaos.

Holy **** bro. We talking full mangled here or a clean break?

[QUOTE]bulb has buckcherry album art in winamp rofl[/QUOTE]

He does what now?


Also, what film should I watch? Providing easy viewing via internets.

Clean break. It's the outer bone in my arm w/e it's called. I'm in a splint right now to keep me from moving my arm around and I'll be getting called back in within the week most likely for my cast, once the swelling goes down a bit.

a real man would just walk it off

wrap it in ducttape and go play football

I waited a day to go in because it happened late at night, so basically I just got drunk, wrapped my arm with surgical tape, and went to bed. Now I have vicodin.

one time in highschool i fell off the roof of one of the buildings (long story) and broke my elbow. waited until i got home to mention it to my mom though, i dont remember if i got pills.

speaking of turtles,
