[QUOTE=I Am Vikingcore]That video doesn't really make sense for the song... Sadistic Zoro? Hot goth chicks? Snakes? The chick with the snake is ****ing hot though.[/QUOTE]

What I don't get is why the girl got sucked into the toilet lol.. Does anyone know if their gonna be making another video?

[QUOTE=Treebeard]Although in the video Lopez isn't drumming...[/QUOTE]

It's also Mendez, Akerfeldt, Lindgren, and Wiberg though.

Shattered_Future 12-12-2005 04:20 PM

The video DOES make no sense though.

What's with the old dude? :confused:

The Cynic 12-12-2005 04:51 PM

I was really disappointed with the video and apparently so were they. They probably didn't get much of a say in it. I think they were just told what to do.

The video is about a guy setting the old dude on fire for being a pedo.....at least that's what I get from it.

Shattered_Future 12-12-2005 05:03 PM

Really?

Damn, I thought the dude with the mask was just really, REALLY messed up.

i am the robots 12-12-2005 05:31 PM

Huh? How is he a pedo...

Jude 12-12-2005 05:42 PM

Someone should just make a video of them walking through some woods in winter, now THAT would make a good Opeth video.

Darkness 12-12-2005 06:12 PM

Or make a Still Life music video, with all the scenes and what not, sept the actors wouldn't talk, it would just have the cd playing for the hour and five min or whatever it is. :D

Yup. That'd be perfect cause that's the imagery I get from most of their songs.

They would have to be some damn fine actors.

Did you not see the gimp/Zorro guy show him the photos he had of that chick in school uniform (although I don't think it means he's a pedo, she was like 18 by the looks of it).

I also got the feeling the two chicks were lesbians... hmm.

If the band had control over the video it'd be a sell-out but nah, the company did it. I was expecting, being the epic song it is, something like a huge cathedral or forest yeah, but no it doesn't suit the song at all.

And Peter said in an interview that they had no control, they were just asked to come in and play the song while they filmed them. They said they didn't like the video but could understand why they'd make one like that.

[QUOTE=Jude]I'd say The Moor switches more than Face of Melinda or Godhead, but to each his own.[/QUOTE]

The Moor follows the old Opeth formula that plagues a lot of their opening tracks, few heavy parts, acoustic section, another few heavy parts.

Godhead's Lament maybe does that too, but definitely not any of the other tracks on Still Life. And I hate how they use the typical verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-verse-chorus (or whatever) on all of their acoustic songs (that I've heard anyway), but Face of Melinda does that differently, it never really repeats.

Well, I guess you can always deface that Chatholic monument over there withthis pig blood I suppose.

Pretty much every Opeth song follows "That old opeth formula" you know...

The band could do it, Mikeal could be the main character, Peter could be Melinda, Martin M. could be Melindas husband, and Martin L. could be the guy that hangs Mikeal, and Per could be the guy that watches and cheers as Mikeal gets hung! :D

Even though he is sort of crazy, he's a genius.

Agreed, I hate when people are like "OMFG HES JUST A RACIST NAZI!11" He's actually very smart, if you actually read/listen to what he's saying.

Well...that's going a bit far. He is very intelligent but he's also undeniably crazy. However he is really onto some things like the human race is evolving into less intelligent, women's lib or whatever is ridiculous after a certain point, and so on.

Whereas he thinks Nordic people are better than everyone because they can get in touch with Odin and Thor. Right.

That doesn't make him crazy, a little ultranationalistic maybe, but not crazy.

RouteOne 12-12-2005 10:50 PM

I for one follow Nordic heathenism, and he touches on a lot of interesting things.

But yeah, he was a little extreme in some areas.

Most.

I wouldn't even say he's necessarily insane, at least not in a psychotic way. His thinking for the most part is totally rational, if very "weird" by most standards. On the other hand he's definitely not completely sane given how deliberately and coldly he killed his bandmate.

Darkness 12-12-2005 10:54 PM

Indeed, although he (name slipped mind, started with E) was planning to kill Varg, as Varg stated in the Burzum story.
