Im sure that was quite the let down.

(Pun extremely intended)

As for Akerfeldt's growl, it is one of the more amazing growls I've heard. Most of the one's I've heard, I could probably pull off to a certain degree, but Mikael's sound like they have so much force behind them. I think Bleak is a good example of him at his best. (Judging from my 5 listens on BWP :p)

The growls after the acoustic interlude on the title track of BWP are the best and most powerful on the album if you ask me.

"The lepers coiled neath the trees..." line is incredibly done.

we should rename the thread the official opeth thread V.2

As I said earlier, then first grunt in BWP is intense. All of it is gold though.

Ok, enough Opeth thread jacking, back to Tool. How probable do you guys think a Tool/Opeth tour is? Akerfeldt did say that he would like to tour with them. That would be a helluva divine concert. :amaze:

I read about that in an interview as well.. I think it would be a great tour.. and a chance for Tool fans to hear of Opeth and vice versa. All the members of Opeth have Lateralus on their playlists :p

That would only be good if they came to Edmonton Alberta, otherwise it would just plain suck. :)

did you notice that ticket prices for tool concerts jumped immensly after lateralus came out ...WTF? saw aenima for 20 bucks, then lateralus is 35-40. when this new cd comes out im gonna pissed if they raise up more.
/but will still pay for 2 shows :p

Tool did tour with Meshuggah once.

I could see Tool having a tour with Opeth. That would rule.

At first when I heard than Mushuggah toured with Tool I thought it was strange.. but strangely enough a good amount of Tool fans seem to like Meshuggah also. As for me I think they're alright.. I do have to give credit to Thomas Haake though.. great drumming!

^^^
That would seriously make me a very happy man. Haha, now you have me excited thinking about that.


That was aimed at the Opeth/ Tool tour thing.

meshugga was ok live, but everything was overshadowed by how much emotion tool puts into it live.

There is always hope for this kinda thing to happen :) , let us hope that Tool find some interest in these Swedes though haha.

Yeah, Thomas Haake of Meshuggah was one of the guest drummers on Triad. Danny and Tomas are both freaking insane drummers.

I think if Opeth took Porcupine Tree along with them on the Tool tour, that would be the best thing to ever happen to me. :D I mean, can you imagine if they played on stage together? All of those musically ingenious minds..Steve Wilson, Mikael Akerfeldt and well, all of Tool on stage...That would pretty much make my lifetime worth living right there.


Lateralias- Meshuggah is from Sweden as well. Either that or some other part of Scandinavia. :shrug:

They are from Sweden.

Ah yes that's true.. I'm sure someone in Tool like's Opeth though.. I could see Adam being a fan for some reason.

at the sundome show i went to, during eulogy there was a wierd break in the song where adam did ambient pick scrapes and maynard was saying something that sounded like "kill the truck drivers" it was really wierd thay made it like 10 minutes (over exaggerating)

meshuggas drummer did cool stuff on the rotos during triad (detune while playing with one hand) he really messed those drumheads up i think :D

"Kill the truck drivers" huh?... that's very odd... maybe Maynard was in arsehole mode and decided to steam off his hate for truckers..

Guys, I think the Tool thread is the largest official thread. amirite?

Yeah that is weird...

And no, the Metallica one is double the size.

meh.. totally forgot bout Metallica for a sec...

The Classic rock one is sort of an official thread, so it would be the biggest, but technically, Metallica's owns this one by abouy 12k. Oh well, we have the coolest community. :D

Yeah i could imagine Tool being up for a tour with Opeth. But im not sure about Opeth though. I read a small thing not long ago and Mikael was complaining about how there are no good new metal bands around today an rah rah rah.
Although he does like all that obscure prog stuff from the 70's, so he could be into Tool.

At least we own the slipknot thread, just like how Tool > Slipknot. :D

it was more or less a whispering sound that came off in my ears as kill the truck drivers, he was probably saying nothing like it but, nevertheless it was rather odd.

listen too the song from about 5:15 and thats where they added some stuff, instead of going into "standing above the crowd" he started whispering something, then like sometime later he finally said that line.....really wierd

lolol i was misteriously banned. o well. Jake wat am gonna do is jsut play along with the cd cause i cant find ur track :)

Probably all that talk about you being high, and the masterbating thing...


Hope I dont' get banned for saything that word...

a yeah it was out of line, wont happen again I guess.

2 posts, pathetic

Maybe he was referring to the metal bands around in Scandanavia or Europe.. Mikael has directly said in an interview that he'd love to tour with Tool, as he is a fan.

[B]d[/B]amn im a slow typer, by the time i finished writin that eulogy thing we were talking bout something else....sorry bout that.

Oh! Marshall you reminded me- Ok, everyone listen to the end of Parabola. Can someone tell my why the hell there are frogs ribbiting/crickets chirping?

I was bewildered by this one day. :lol:
