Guess who went to Opeth last sunday :cool:
I was standing first row, and I even interacted with Mikeal!!!!:D:D:D
I took one picture, stupid cam...

they played a lovely set list:
The Grand conjuration.
Harlequin Forest
Black water park
to rid the desease
the drapery falls
face of melinda.
demon of the fall

blackwater park was amazing! the most awesome song they played.
too bad they didn't play Ghost of Perdition, my fave song of the new album

Wow, nice! :thumb:

a friend of mine had a photopas so he has even more uplclose photos :)

the most awesome part of the show:
when the crowd went silent in beetween songs I screamed:
Mikeal, how's your wive?
and he said: She's fine thank you, my [growlmode] WIIIIIVEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!![/growlmode]

I interacted with Mikeal :D

Haha, I think I love that man. Too bad he has a wife. :(

I would go gay for Mikeal, for sure.

Mikael is married... if tha's what you were talking about.

I know, I know.

[QUOTE=Creeping_Deth]I know, I know.[/QUOTE]

Was that what you were talking aboat?

*shifty*
Nothing. Nothing at all.

[QUOTE=Creeping_Deth]I would go gay for Mikeal, for sure.[/QUOTE]
Ditto. :p

An opeth question,

Does Mikeal do both the growled and clean vocals for the band?

Yep.

I think Steven Wilson did teh backing vocals on some of the records though. Actually, I know he did, I remember seeing it on teh DVD. :p

Mikeal Akerfeldt does all growled and clean vocals.
Steven Wislon (of Porcupine Tree) did backing vocals on Blackwatrer Park, Deleiverance and Dämnation.

Steven's best vocal work on the opeth albums is : Bleak.
Steven Wilson is also responsible for the mellotron, pianos and grand pianos used on the mentioned 3 albums.

I don't uunderstand why Per didn't do any backing vocals on the new album, cause he has a wonderfull voice.
he did it on the dvd too, and on the show I went to last week too.
Per headbanging is evil!! :D:D

Can anybody recommend a couple of albums by Opeth I have
-Still Life
-****ation
-BWP
-Deliverance

what u guys recommend next....

thx in advance :thumb:

^ Ghost Reveries and Morningrise

What bands was Per previously in? I haven't heard anything about him other than that he joined Opeth and is playing on the new album.

Per was in Spiritual Beggers. I've heard that they rule.

I love his rings. :)

he still plays in the Spiritual Beggers as far as I know.
and indeed his rings rule too, not to forget his keyboard work.

I would really like to have a drink with Per (being a keyboardist myself too)
he seems like a very cool and relaxed guy

Go for Morningrise first, since everyone loves it, then Ghost Reveries since it's more controversial. But it's an awesome album. Save MAYH and Orchid until you're a more solid Opeth fan, IMO. I like them less than most Opeth. Deliverance is probably the weakest album though.

I think Orchid is the weakest album, but I like it because of it's raw quality. The music gets boring after awhile.

I think it's list time again :p

favorite to least favorite:

Morningrise
Blackwater park
Still Life
Deliverance
Dämantion
My Arms Your Hearse
Orchid

I don't really know where to place Ghost Reveries as of yet, cause I haven't really had the full experience yet, after a listen 0f 20 I will be able to place the New album in to this list too, but I don't think it wil enter the top 3

Ooh yay! List time!
[list][*]Still Life[*]Blackwater Park[*]Ghost Reveries[*]My Arms, Your Hearse[*]Da[b][i][/i][/b]mnation[*]Deliverance[*]Morningrise[*]Orchid[/list]

I should listen to the rest of their catalogue, all I've listened to is BWP, D&D and GR :\

Orchid
Morningrise
BWP
My Arms, your hearse
Deliverance
[COLOR=White]D[/COLOR]amnation.
Ghost Reveries
Still Life

OK...

Still Life
BWP/****ation/GR
Morningrise
Orchid
MAYH/Deliverance (I'm not that familiar with these two--haven't listened to them many times--but I'm not too fond of them from what I've heard.)

Ghost Reveries
Morningrise
Blackwater Park
Orchid
Still Life
****ation
My Arms, Your Hearse
Deliverance

A few months ago, I never imagined Still Life would fall to #5.I was so convinced that it was the best album ever.I got kinda bored of it though.

Even through all my Opeth experience (I've actually been into them for a while) I would say Ghost Reveries is my favorite, but Still Life and MAYH are very close.

Me and Ghost Reveries still haven't clicked together yet...

I've been exposed a lot more to certain albums over other so I'm not going to include the other ones in my Ranking.

Top

Bottom

Blackwater Park
Still Life
****ation
Deliverance
Ghost Reveries

Will have to borrow these from my girlfriend to listen to.

Morningrise
Orchid
My Arms, Your Hearse

I was never able to understand what was good about Blackwater Park. I always considered it their worst.

I'd like Blacwater Park more then Ghost Reveries even if it was just The Leper Affinity, The Drapery Falls and Blackwater Park to tell ya the truth. :p
