Opeth :: The funeral portrait... such a groovy riff, kicks a.s.s

Deth 01-07-2006 08:25 PM

I don't like that riff for some reason, I always think of some crappy nu-metal (nothing against the genre) band just bashing it out, it doesn't sound intelligent like most of their riffs.

I know what you mean. It's a pretty straightfoward riff. Sounds really good though. Especially now that I have my PRS.

LOL what does that have anything to do with the rest of your post?

I love the opening vocals to 'Closure'
You wouldn't think someone able to sing that well, could get the low growling he can, its amazing imo.

Pictures?

Deth 01-07-2006 09:09 PM

pics or it didn't happen.

TojesDolan 01-07-2006 09:23 PM

Picz0rz!!!

IO would show off mine's, but they are awful.

Anyhow, they also used like 700 different guitars for Damnation.

Ghost Of Perdition 01-07-2006 09:28 PM

Fook me, is that for all the recording, or just to choose from/to record with??

Darkness 01-07-2006 09:53 PM

As much as I love Damnation, I wish there was a few more acoustic parts...

Det_Nosnip 01-07-2006 11:31 PM

Yeah...it would be nice if they actually did an album focusing on the acoustic stuff. At the same time...it was a nice departure. I dunno...I can't seriously rag on that album for very long while keeping a straight face, because...well, I'm a drummer. And...yeah. Lopez tore that album up, big time. :cool:

EDIT: Holy ****, guys. Check this out!!!

Dark Tranquillity. Devin Townsend Band. Aaaaaghh!!!!!!! *freaks out*

Darkness 01-07-2006 11:33 PM

Yes. I love the album, it's just something with stuff like "Benighted" and "Still Day Beneath the Sun" would have been nice. Still use the electrics here and there, and the keyboards, just more acoustic based is all.. oh well.

MidnightRider 01-07-2006 11:50 PM

I think Damnation's perfect, but I see what you mean.

NP: Still Day Beneath The Sun

Oh my god. It's my dream come true.

Darkness 01-07-2006 11:54 PM

Pfft, thats old. We talked about that in the Dark Tranquil thread already. :p

Jude 01-08-2006 12:16 AM

Oh man, I hope I can make it to either the VA or MD show....

MidnightRider 01-08-2006 12:36 AM

If you go to the VA one, I might be seeing you there. Me and a buddy are thinking about going.

lost_profits 01-08-2006 03:56 AM

Opeth, Dark Tranquillity, Devin Townsend Band.

I never knew heaven had three words.

But no, what are the odds they will support Opeth on the Australian/NZ tour?! If you are in the U.S and thinking of going to see Opeth only, think again. Opeth will really have to play one colossal set to outdo either of those bands. Great news for metal.

rhcp pman 01-08-2006 05:25 AM

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future]Bastage.

How do they play the acoustic parts of different songs live though, with only 2 guitars? :confused:

The Grand Conjuration has a great Drop D riff pattern in it...harmonic minors rule. :cool:

EDIT: Oh, NOW it's all ages when the goddamn concert is 6 hours away from my house. :mad:[/QUOTE]
I reckon the Grand Conjuration has some pretty nice drumming in it. Martin Lopez is a great drummer. And his drumming actually *adds to the song, it doesn't just go along side it.

Yeha i agree there.
Alot of the beats are as distinctive as the guitar parts, and you dont need to be a drummer to notice them.

Meh not in the US either. *greedy american*

rik 01-08-2006 09:28 AM

Yo thread, I was just wondering if one of you lovely Opeth fans could upload "To Bid You Farewell" for me. I'd appreciate it a hell of a lot. (Via yousendit would be great)

Toaster 01-08-2006 09:49 AM

Yeah, I will.

Whale and Wasp 01-08-2006 10:14 AM

if you go to singingfish.com and do a search for opeth, there is "to bid you farewell"

Toaster 01-08-2006 10:26 AM

I need your email, rik.

EDIT: Sent.

They better have more Canadian dates...

Jude 01-08-2006 01:43 PM

[QUOTE=Dunkelheit509]:lol:

They usually have one or two. However for me the most important thing is to be able to make it to at least one of their shows.


Well, it's second most important to Porcupine Tree Touring again and me making it that.

Darkness 01-08-2006 01:59 PM

Usually bands hit a place in Ontario, then a place in B.C. Sometimes they come up through Alberta though, which is what I'm hopeing for.

Shattered_Future 01-08-2006 02:06 PM

I got no chance of seeing them on this tour...

GODDAMN YOU STUPID WEBSTER'S HALL! :angry:

I wish Opeth would play B.B. King's...that's like one of the only places I can go to go see concerts. One of the only places that has all ages concerts.

Darkness 01-08-2006 02:07 PM

Every concert I've looked into here has been all ages... it's great.

Kage 01-08-2006 02:11 PM

I really really really hope they come to Houston with Devin Townsend. I really want to see them live.

Toaster 01-08-2006 02:13 PM

I've never seen DTB live, and them with Opeth is my dream concert. I'm going to see that London show for sure. Anyone know if it's all ages?

Det_Nosnip 01-08-2006 02:35 PM

[QUOTE=Dunkelheit509]Pfft, thats old. We talked about that in the Dark Tranquil thread already. :p[/QUOTE]

Hey, I've been out for a few weeks because of vacation. Give me a break, I'm a bit behind. :p

This is huge, though. DT are by far my favorite melodic death band and one of my favorites of all time, and Devin Townsend is one of my favorite musicians...having those two groups along with Opeth is just incredible. Now, if only Lopez would get better...then it would be perfect.

Yeah, The Drapery Falls is a great song. Don't you post on the Pantera Forums?

Opeth better come to AZ this time...
