What a novel concept!

SHUT UP, THAT KID A NOOB!!!1

[QUOTE=Cain]But it all goes back to subjective taste. A great many people feel that death metal requires no talent or skill to play, since conventional melodies and such things are almost non-existant. Someone may easily think Nickelback are more talented because they write better melodic hooks, catchier songs, etc. So that opinion, DESPITE THE FACT THAT I WOULD VEHEMENTLY DISAGREE, is in NO way "obviously wrong." It is simply an unlikely and perhaps uninformed opinion. However if a person listened to Opeth carefully and cited specific things about them that didn't appeal to them, I would have no problem with someone holding that view.[/QUOTE]


Then respect my opinion, being I don't ''force'' it like you do. I dgaf who you listen to, to each his own...and I respect that. I, myself, like Opeth's [I]earlier[/I] recordings a lot better then late. That's me. I've never tried once to ''force'' my opinion on other posters in here to make them believe my opinion is greater then theirs. I personally, like I've stated over 1,000 times, do not care for Opeth's latest recording. It's my opinion, so drop it.

But you've been blaming the things that make you not care for it on Roadrunner, which is ridiculous. I respect that you think the album is weak, but you've been acting like Opeth were raped up the *** by their producer and then released a friggin' Nickelback single. You're citing a totally false idea about record label pressure, and blaming that invented circumstance for the album's weaknesses (as they are percieved by you). That's more what I'm pissed about than your opinion.

We played last night at a local bar, we ended the show with [I]Wreath[/I]. We never play covers, but decided to learn this song, for sh;ts and giggles. Our singer can't even touch Mikaels voice, but he did well. It sounded really good, most people didn't know what it was though...but still. It was really worth it, especially after practicing it for 5 straight weeks. Our lead singer was coughing up sh't after the show, he said he snapped and just went berzerk on the intro :lol: It's a pretty cool song to play live.

they went to roadrunner to appeal to a greater audience. a quote from revolver says the only reason they went on the sounds of the underground tour is to appeal to a bigger audience or to steal there fans he said jokenly. thats one of the main reasons why they went to roadrunner

He's right Flynn, Roadrunner probably had very little say about anything for this album.

I'm starting to like it a little more now, I'm starting to accept that just because the guitar work is REALLY laid back from the other cds, that it can still be a decent Opeth album. Favorite songs are Ghost Of Peridtion and Baying of the Hounds. :)

Still not on par with BWP though. :p

I don't like Roadrunner. I have my reasons. I'm sure you don't like a lot of things, I won't try and change your mind about it. I'm not blaming anyone...It's not Roadrunner's fault Mikael wanted to do things that way. It wasn't Roadrunner's idea to ket a keyboardist. I never said that. I just don't like the label. [U]Period.[/U] So, once again, Cain...Drop it. One more thing, why do you keep talking about Nickelback? What do they have to do with anything? :confused:

Nickelback likes Opeth... well the singer anyway.

God, you'd think he'd at least be influenced by Mikael's singing style instead of endlessly repeating that tired 'generic 90s rock' way he sings.

And you'd think their songs wouldn't suck, especially that one new goddam single that's ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS on the radio.

rofl :lol: :lol: no doubt

Where I work, we can't change the station...and guess what station it's ALWAYS on?

CLEAR CHANNEL! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH :angry: :angry: :angry:

Could you guys imagine Nickelback trying to growl? That would be even worse then it already is! :p

[QUOTE=Darkness Of Greed]Could you guys imagine Nickelback trying to growl? That would be even worse then it already is! :p[/QUOTE]
No, it would then be amusing, so it would at least have the virtue of being funny even if it still sucked.

What do you guys think?

Opeth/Nickleback split CD anytime soon? :lol:

I'd buy it.

[QUOTE=Creeping_Deth]I'd buy it.[/QUOTE]
I would too, just to see what it would sound like. lol

[QUOTE=Creeping_Deth]I'd buy it.[/QUOTE]
I was just about to type that. :p :thumb:

Ha, foiled again!

[QUOTE=Jude]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[/QUOTE]


Well lame or not i really thought the soundtrack sounded similar to some of the acoustic breaks on BWP and Mike thanks blizzard entertainment on the booklet on the inside of GR. Could that be some weird ****ing coincidence? O well..Great band anyway :thumb:

[QUOTE=Darkness Of Greed]Could you guys imagine Nickelback trying to growl? That would be even worse then it already is! :p[/QUOTE]


That would be funny, the singer can't sing for [I]s[/I][I]hit[/I]. His voice would prolly crack, burst something in his throat. Need vocal cord surgey.

No more nicklebag. :lol: The world would be a better place.

Opeth touring with Nickleback would be like Justin Timberlake touring with GWAR.

Nile with ashlee simpson more like it.

The Berzerker with Garth Brooks.

[QUOTE=Man_Made_God]Nile with ashlee simpson more like it.[/QUOTE]
That would be quite a sight.

Mines better... :(
