So, just got my Gigantour tickets...I'm mostly going for Opeth, Arch Enemy, and Into Eternity, but it should be a fun show nonetheless. :cool:

[QUOTE=8VM]I gave a listen and I dont see the big deal about them[/QUOTE]
You will learn.

[QUOTE=Moses]You will learn.[/QUOTE]

Or mebe he is teh masterer of teh universe and opeth is bad cuz he say it is!!1!!1!111one!!!!1

And Benighted is probably my favorite Opeth ballad.

"Came and distorted your sight...
...Saw you benighted by your friiiiiiiight"

:)

[QUOTE=Jude]WTF? White Cluster owns the crap out of most of Still Life.

Well actually, I'd say Face of Melinda>The Moor>Godhead's Lament>White Cluster>Serenity Painted Death>Moonlapse Vertigo>Benighted.


So....HALF of Still Life.[/QUOTE]

Benighted>The Moor>Moonlapse Vertigo>Face of Melinda=Godhead's Lament>Serenity Painted Death>White Cluster

C'mon, Benighted kicks all kinds of as[size=2]s[/size]. And it's one of my favorite songs to play on an acoustic too.

EDIT:
[QUOTE=Det Nosnip]If anybody is willing (and able) to play and record this once I'm finished, that would rock.[/QUOTE]

I can't guarantee having time to learn and record it, but if you could send me the music when you're done with it I'll give it a try.

[I]Serenity Painted Death[/I] and [I]Face of Melinda[/I] are my two favourite songs off of SL.

I love The Moor and Godhead's Lament, esp, the clean part in Godhead's.
SO great.

The Moor and Serenity Painted Death are my favroites off of Still Life.

And yeah, that clean part in Godhead's Lament is great.

"What would they care, if I did stay, no one should know oooh ooh."
Pure beauty.

Yeah, except a few people in here seem to make fun of that part.

cough-Darkness-cough

:mad:

Best part of the song.

Why is that? :-\

Yeah the soft part in Godhead's Lament is awesome. Although Face of Melinda's my favorite song off of Still Life. The part where the heavy riff comes in and Mikael starts singing ("I took her by the hand...") is just amazing, my favorite part of the whole album, and one of my favorite Opeth moments in general.

"What would they care if I was gay
No one would know, homo."

That part is great though.

:lol:
It does sound funny, but no one has the right to make fun of that song. :mad:

It does kinda sound like that haha, but who cares, I love that part.

And yeah, when the distortion comes in Face of Melinda, it's awsome.

Yes it is :)


My Arms, Your Hearse>Morningrise>Orchid>Still Life>Deliverance>Blackwater Park>Damnation>Ghost Reveries

[QUOTE=Hope Eternal][I]Serenity Painted Death[/I] and [I]Face of Melinda[/I] are my twp favourite songs off of SL.[/QUOTE]

I love Serenity Painted Death. I am going to learn it on guitar soon.

[QUOTE=Spoonful of Shame]I love Serenity Painted Death. I am going to learn it on guitar soon.[/QUOTE]


That's the first song from Still Life I learned, and it's really fun to play. Great song too, my favorite from Still Life by far :)

[QUOTE=Det_Nosnip]How come Benighted is so low? :([/QUOTE]
The thing about Still Life is, it's super consistent so each song is barely lower on my list than the song above it. Most could easily trade places any time.

Call me a mad man but I really enjoy Moonlapse Vertigo out of Still Life.

Maybe I'm slightly tired of the rest of the songs.

I enjoy all of the songs off of SL.

Moonlapse Vertigo is awsome. SL is easily Opeth's most consistent album.

I think I'm the only one here who favors all other Opeth albums over Still Life. =\

[QUOTE=ShadowsFallen]I think I'm the only one here who favors all other Opeth albums over Still Life. =\[/QUOTE]
Probably. Though I don't really have a favorite, Still Life is on the higher end of the list for me. It's something like... Still Life = BWP = MAYH = Deliverance > Morningrise = Orchid = Damnation > GR for me.

For some reason SL just doesn't strike me as conveying much of an atmosphere. That and I don't like many of the riffs.

I wasn't very impressed with Ghost Reveries the first time i heard it.

Edit:

I love that little tribal bongo part in the song 'Wreath'.

Really? IMO Still Life has probably the strongest atmosphere Opeth has created... oh well. Do you at least like the killer acoustic parts?

The etnic percussion rules!

Changing the Godhead's Lament lyrics reminds me of another thing I love about Opeth...

"I hear the baying of the hounds in the distance
I hear them devouring THE BEST MADE TACOS OF THE EARTH!!!"

I actually went to Taco Bell a few months ago and asked them for "THE BEST MADE TACOS OF THE EARTH!!!" in my best death metal growl...

The look on the guy's face was priceless...
