haha, i actually registered to leave a post... i just reread it and it's not really very coherent ( i left it at like midnight) but oh well.

a stupid complaint deserves a stupid rebuttle.

Welcome to the forums! \m/ -_- \m/

[QUOTE=Deth]It's been running smooth for me. It's probably because it doesn't like you, and I can't blame it.[/QUOTE]
ur ghey


Anyways, after you oil a guitar neck, are you suppost to
A) Go over it with a dry, clean cloth or
B) Go over it with a clean, wet cloth?

Dry. Wet will warp the wood...

Ok, thanks. Thats actually what I did right after, but I just wanted to make sure... :thumb:

[QUOTE=ok lateralus]In regards to the satanism discussion: It's interesting to note that Black Sabbath, one of the most 'evil', dark, heavy bands of all time, the Godfathers of heavy metal, were practically a Christian band. So things are not what they seem[/QUOTE]
They're not really a Christian band...the songs After Forever and Lord of This World and Into the Void have a pretty Christian slant to them but most other Sabbath references to religion are along the lines of "Don't need it/want it, etc."

Perhaps they briefly converted while making the Master of Reality album?

But yeah, to call Sabbath or Opeth Satanic is really dumb.

[QUOTE=Dunkelheit509]Is mx being kinda wierd for anyone else... the top banner is gone, it keeps taking me to this.. parent directory thing..[/QUOTE]

It does that to me too. So I just get the link to R&M. Then everything works fine.

It's working fine now, but the top banner is still gone...

Mine's gone too, :chug:

That thread on the christian forum ftw.

Seriously what does "ftw" mean?

For The Win.

NP Blind Guardian -The Script for my Requiem

For the win. Wow.

:lol: I must join them, their ingorance is intriguing.

[I]N.P. When ~ Opeth[/I]

Almost all ethnic/religious groups are rather close-minded.

That's why I try to be a regular human being that takes advantage of all philosophies. Like science. and Jesus. and the d3v1L!!

I have a question - does Mikael use a mouthharp in windowpane, or is that some other instrument?

Sorry if this was already answered in this thread, i can't look through so many pages.

I don't think so... Any part in particular?

However, Steve Wilson is known for his frecquent use of vocal arrangements and several tools to make them sound... different. But I truly have no idea.

I just got ghost reveries today, and I tihnk it is probably my favorite opeth album so far.


Also, in defence of that christian thing, only one person mentioned that opeth was satantic, and everyone else in the thread pretty much owned him.

I watched the lamentation dvd, i saw him playing something with his mouth(and his mouth alone). And that was the only sound in that sound that's not guitar, drums, or bass.

Maybe you were hearing the keyboards?

maybe, yeah.

No. You were probably hearing something else while he had his pick in his mouth.

Doubt it. Nothing like that listened in the credits for Damnation, could be wrong though.

If he did, it'd be pretty noticeable. Welcome to the forums! :)

I don't think so, I mean they're pretty Christian throughout their career. Their title song, for example, may portray a dark, scary figure, but Ozzy is saying he's scared of it, in fact, and is basically asking God to help him "OOOH NOO LORD PLEASE HELP ME". Still, it is a pretty damn dark song. I could see hardcore Christians thinking it was some sort of Satanist thing. Plus, The Wizard could not be about some Tolkien character but it sounds like some sort of Jesus figure, perhaps? He seems to be magical, walking around healing and making people happy, the song says.

My buddy once told me that Sabbath wrote some christian lyrics, specifically on the Master of Reality album, under the influence of their manager because he wanted the group to downplay their satanic image, I don't think this is true but who knows.

Woah, if they did it just because their manager said so that would be lame.

Agreed. But I wouldn't take it seriously, my buddies a bit of a moron

We should get back to something Opeth related. Has anybody heard any news about the Akerfeldt/Wilson project?

^Wasn't Portnoy going to be involved in that? I know that kinda seems unlikly, but Mikeal does thank him the GR booklet.

I think so, but I don't think there's been anything official released.

Man, Opeth keeps changing their setlist now? I heard they took out Demon Of The Fall now. :mad:

Damn, an Akerfeldt/Wilson/Portnoy project would be insane. I doubt it will ever happen.

Yeah, that'd be cool. I'd rather see Akerfeldt do another Bloodbath album though. His voice is so perfect with them.

Mikael giving singing lessons. lol Sorry if its been posted


Theres another video of them giving a lesson.
Martins playing a squier. Mikaels playing a strat and Peter is playing a jackson

Mikael: We want solos too but were no jeff loomis. (laughs)

I found that pretty funny

NP Blackwater Park

Finally I'm listeing to it. I had only heard a few parts of the song but never the whole thing.

^^ well, what did you think?

Blackwater Park isn't all it's cracked up to be, I think. It drags on HORRIBLY in places.

However, the growled parts are the best on the album, which brings the song up to average.

It took BWP a long time to grow on me, but I love it now. I don't think it drags on that bad, I never get bored with it. The growls are amazing.

Does anyone know any of the set lists that have been played so far?
