I actually kind of agree with most of that post this time around... unlike last time. I still don't care that much for Ghost Reveries though, (THOUGH I DO LIKE SOME PARTS!! :evil: )

I've been really into Ghost Reveries. I think it has a pretty distinctive sound to it. I wish they would have made a video for Ghost Reveries or Reverie/Harlequin Forest instead of The Grand Conjuration.

I don't think Opeth and videos really mix. A well-done video of an Opeth song COULD be good, but I think the mental pictures and atmospheres their music creates would be much better than any video. Each album takes me into a sort of sub-universe of its own, and having a video would mess that up.

A video for the last couple Still Life songs would be sweet though.

Master's Apprentice has one of the coolest riffs i've ever heard. The one that starts off the song. That song jams!

I love that riff so much, and it's so simple to play! It's prety much the most straight-forward riff I've heard from Opeth, and I've heard everything. :p

Yeah, if I had any knowledge of Flash and any artistic talent, I would make a video to play alongside the entire album.

I totally would too, but honestly you have to admit no video could do justice to the mental images Opeth creates.

Problably a dumb question but since i just satrted listening to them i guess its justifyable: Did they do music for the Diablo computer games?

i think the video was well done, i hate how they shortend the song though

[QUOTE]One thing that I have noticed is that ever since Still Life, whenever Mikael plays a chord-based rhythm, it tends to use the EXACT SAME rhythm. Duuh-duh-duh-duh-duh! Duuh-duh-duh-duh-duh![/QUOTE]

in "the moor" he does that but thats the only song i can recall him doing that in. i think it sound might good too.

No. :confused:

I used to be addicted to that game and played it 24/7, and I don't remember anything sounding similar to Opeth.

I wouldn't know, but I seriously doubt Opeth would have their music be used in a game. Especially not a lame clickfest like Diablo.

Which rhythm are you guys talking about? I can't seem to pin down which riffs you're referring to?

[QUOTE=Me]Drapery falls intro, Demon of the Fall intro, When riff right before the solo, TNATSW Emin-Esus2 riff (if I recall correctly). I could probably put more down if I went through every song.[/QUOTE]

It's half then 4 sixteenths repeated.

am i the only one who can't stop listening to benighted, such a nice song.

I just saw the video for The Grand Conjuration.

What the crap was that? :confused:

Diablo I & II were so goood.

I can't wait for a Diablo III (If there will be?). Sorry about the spam :D

Actually, I've always thought that the music in the first area (foresty places) in Diablo II sound STRONGLY like Opeth's acoustic work.

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future]I just saw the video for The Grand Conjuration.

It was crap. The band had little if anything to do with its production and they don't like it either, from what I've heard.

Diablo is crap. All you do is click on monsters and press a button to chug potions until you win. Recently people in my dorm have started playing this game Dungeon Siege 2 which is pretty much just Diablo in 3D and on a network. I can't see the attraction of these games.

I thought the video was pretty cool. I mean its new Opeth and on tv so who cares, at least they're getting played.

Yes, but that's good AND bad, which goes along with an idea i got when I saw Ghost Reveries in Hot Topic.

Sure, Opeth is getting more publicity.

But soon, they will be whored by all teenage mallcore fanboys who claim Opeth to be their "favorite band", and think that Opeth is a "totally k00l new band" with Ghost Reveries as their debut.

THAT I don't want to happen at any cost.

Anyone going to the Opeth/Nevermore tour?

[QUOTE=Scoot]Anyone going to the Opeth/Nevermore tour?[/QUOTE]

I wish, but the show closest to me is on a Monday, so I can't :upset:

Hopefully I will be.

Just because it's [I]new[/I], no matter how crappy it is, doesn't mean it's good. Of course it's new Opeth, but the video isn't all that great, IMO.

I wouldn't worry too much about that. Those kids don't have the attention span for it.

Yeah. The preppy "aww abercrombie" mall boys will go back to their green day records after 5 minutes. They won't have the pationence to listen to a whole song by opeth much less a whole album. Nor understand its musical brillence.

Who listens to a song for 10 minutes? It's so boring. I'll just stick to my 3 minute pop-punk songs that are so much more hardcore than a bunch of stupid metal guys who play the same thing for three times that long. Sheesh.

You think thats just a lil bit ignorant?
Opeth songs evolve over the song. Plus to even compare Opeth to pop punk, makes me question wether you even have a brain. If you can't hear the difference you are not only stupid but deaf.
