Are Opeth any good live? I might have a chance to see them when they come over here.

They are KILLER live. One of the best experiences I've ever seen live. Everything sounds so much more awesome.

Opeth live is pretty much and undescribable experience. Very crowd friendly, and just overall greatness.

I saw a live video of Death Whispered A Lullaby and the atmosphere looked great.

Indeed. They are amazing live. Best live sound I've ever heard as well.

Which is perfectly demonstrated by their DVD. That atmosphere is ideal for me because I like concerts where people mosh, but I hate it when people go overboard like at Slayer concerts. It takes away from the musical aspect because you're just fighting to stay alive when you're watching bands like that. With Opeth that's not the case, but the moshing is still there.

That's interesting. Does everyone just stop when they play acoustic songs?

What kind of mishing is it?

From what I've seen it's just people throwing each other around, and nothing big ever happens. And they do stop during the acoustic songs because it just doesn't fit at all. I mean, could you imagine moshing to a song like "Windowpane"? I don't think so. :thumb:

Haha, yeah, that'd be really strange. I wanna see Opeth so bad though. I'm guessing they'd put on a great show.

Opeth live is nothing short of amazing.

Oh, they certainly do. :thumb:

Anyone here a fan of the song Nectar? I really got into that track today. The bass work on there is superb.

Sure, it's good, but I'm not really a fan of Morningrise as a whole.

I love Morningrise in general.

On a serious note, people who don't worship Opeth's first albums are fools. That is all.

I just can't stand the lousy production.

I don't like Orchid as much as I probably should, but I'm a huge fan of Morningrise. That album is no doubt one of the most amazing albums in the progressive metal genre. To Bid You Farewell also remains to be the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.

Well, it's dinner time for Thor. I'll be back later.

To Bid You Farewell is a masterpiece, but I prefer Orchid as a whole to Morningrise.

[QUOTE=Hope Eternal]I just can't stand the lousy production.[/QUOTE]
That definitely holds Orchid and Morningrise back, but the music is still top-notch.

The great thing about Orchid is it has like a lot of really, really great tracks on it. [I]The Twilight Is My Robe[/I] is amazing.

On[I] Ghost Reveries[/I] I like more of their acoustic stuff, like[I] Isolation Years[/I], or [I]Hours Of Wealth[/I].

I must agree with this, my favorite off Morningrise.

True, if I could somehow manage to not be disturbed by the production, I would listen to Orchid and Morningrise a lot more than I do now.

EDIT: To ShadowsFallen

The production is not the best, but you can get used to it.

Probably, I just have to listen time and again 'til I get used to it, I guess.

After hearing that albums so much, I don't even notice the production anymore.

I've always thought it would be a dream come true if Opeth did to Orchid and Morningrise what Dimmu Borgir did to Stormblast. Go back into the studio and re-record the entire album(s) as if they were making a whole new album. I would only hope they didn't alter any of the music like Dimmu did.

Glad to see you're posting a lot more now.

I think I'm going to listen to Morningrise tomorrow and see if I can change my mind about the production.

I like the old production in a way because it really adds to the whole atmosphere that those albums needed. Their newer material would sound pretty bad with that production style, but it certainly worked for their earlier songs.

Really, I like the newer production better because its probably easier to listen to I really like the production on Ghost of Pertition.

Yeah, the new production is close to perfect but I still like the old one because the bass guitar was very distinct and easy to hear. Nowadays Mendez's bass lines are often overshadowed by everything else and that's always been a pet peave of mine.
