I'm busting out Drapery now to see if I can see what you mean.

Edit....and I have no idea why those are "telephone" vocals.

It sounds lo-fi or something, like you're hearing him sing through a telephone.

It has nothing to do with how the vocals are sung, just how they're produced. In the beginning of the Drapery Falls its ment to sound like Mikael is singing through a telephone. There are instances of telephone vocals on Porcupine Tree albums as well as Brittney Spears singles--so its safe to say that the method is pretty widespread.

I'm going to guess that it's an average white girl.:p

Oh man, did you guys read the latest update on the site? Those evening with Opeth dates would be incredible... songs from all the records starting with Orchid ending on GR... Damn I wish that was happening here.

Oh I see what telephone vocals refers to now. Yeah, I've heard that on loads of PT songs, but I don't hear it on Drapery.

Songs never played before.. If I were anywhere close to those shows, I'd be there in a flash.

[QUOTE=Opeth.com]"Chronology MCMXCIV - MMV A live observation by Opeth"
Yes folks, that is the "title" for three exclusive gigs scheduled for NYC's Town hall centre (23/2), Chicago's House of blues (2/3) and LA's Wiltern theatre (14/3). These special seated events will consist of a chronologically played setlist, starting with music from the very first record "Orchid" and ending with vibes from the latest opus "Ghost reveries". These extended sets are exclusive to the three dates and there won't be any support bands on these nights. A good advice is to get your tickets quick as these are bound to sell out fast! Opeth and crew will also bring in extra production and screens in order to try and make this the ultimate Opeth live experience! The band promise a very varied setlist and songs never ever played before live! The setlist boasts no less than 4 songs that never before have been played on American soil and several others that haven't been played for years![/QUOTE]

Wasnt Demon of the Fall a rare one before the recent tours ?
I could be wrong...

They're Steven Wilson's telephone effect of vocals. I think it sounds rather good actually.

I'm fairly sure they play it extremely frequently as an encore, or their last song.

Yes I know, if you read I was explaining what the term "phone voice" refers to.

Ah okay then. Its what someone had told me...

When I saw them in Minnesota, it was like the 3rd or 4th song. People in that place went crazy.

All of you bass haters :angry:.

Bet you're all disgrunted guitar players.

Face it Deth, Guitar > Bass. :D

Never in a million years.

I should have guessed you'd have a comment like that... you're nothing but a stubborn bass player. :p

Hey, me sticking up for the truth has nothing to do with me being stubborn. It's just a coincidence.

Truth? Hardly. Bass is easily the weakest instrument in a band. Especially a metal band.

I can't really argue with that point, but c'mon, a good bass adds a lot to a band.

Tr00f. But, once again Guitar > Bass. :D :D :D


:lol: I'm just bugging you dude... it's ok, a real instrument like guitar isn't for everyone.

I hope you dont believe that.

Theres one Deth, someone who thinks we're serious. :lol:

Sucker!

As a rule, never take any conversation between me and DoG seriously.

:lol: Yep.

O ok, as you know I dont post in here regularly.

that's what i was getting at about the parts that sound like PT on damnation

i mean, i think ive heard that in alot of PT songs

In My Time of Need and Hope Leaves both have that telephone effect on it. I think Master's Apprentices does too somewhere, but other than those, I can't really remember anymore of them. It sounds, like somebody said, like he's singing through a phone or something.

[QUOTE=Dunkelheit509]:lol: Yep.[/QUOTE]

I [I]just[/I] got your user title. I previously thought it was a meaningless allusion to the song. Clever! :thumb:
