I go with OH-peth. Works for me.

I have always pronounced it as O-peeth

[QUOTE=pate;13474172]Air drumming is awesome. My dormroom has a tile floor, so I get a nice loud bass sound. Sometimes I'll take two spoons or something as my sticks and drum on various books for different sounds. :p Good times.[/QUOTE]

Today in physics class we started a whole class drum cirlce, it was so cool. everyone was tapping things like pencils, text books, feet, desks

then i started tapping a 5/8 beat really loud and everyone got confuzzled, it sounded cool though with like 8 kids doing it. those are so fun to start.

"We are Oh-peth" - Mikael.. And I'm sure he knows how to pronounce his own bandname

[QUOTE=Symbolic;13476282]like...Awpeth?

Edit; I dunno. Buh.[/QUOTE]

The way I imagine that sounds so Mikael-ish.

I just say 'Oh-peth'.

[QUOTE=Knifeboy;13476609]"We are Oh-peth" - Mikael.. And I'm sure he knows how to pronounce his own bandname[/QUOTE]

My thoughts exactly.

It's on the DVD so there's proof of it.

[QUOTE=Moses;13469600]I know they all line up, I'm just saying I just think of them as notes and dotted notes. I don't know, I'm a piano player more so than a drummer even though I play them, so I don't really worry about values as much as a drummer would. It just bugged me when you said "triplet feel" rather than "swing feel" because I've never heard anybody, even my jazz instructors refer to them as triplets.
[/quote] That's funny, because I hear it pretty much interchangeably and have always been told to think of it that way. Honestly, it kind of scares me that someone could get into a position where they are a "jazz instructor" and not at least know to emphasis the triplet base, but maybe guitar or piano teachers can get away with it.

So I really need to get [i]My Arms, Your Hearse[/i] after listening to some of it.

MAYH isn't as good as everyone makes it out to be. It is definately a good album, but like many Opeth albums abit overrated. It doesn't really stand up to Orchid or Still Life.

Well I don't like [i]Orchid[/i], so..

I think it takes a little longer to grow on [B]some[/B] people.

MAYH is easy to get into. "April Ethereal", "Amen Corner", "Demon on the Fall" and "When" are all actually rather accessable tracks. I liked them all the first time I heard them.

The 2 Opeth albums I found easiest to get into were the first 2 I bought;
Blackwater Park then Ghost Reveries.

[QUOTE=Symbolic;13477626]I think it takes a little longer to grow on people.[/QUOTE]Because its a flower right :p

Anyway yeah I guess its abit more inaccesible, but it is still super good. I don't get what people don't like about it. It has all the perfect Opeth elements, without being over the top like some of the later releases. And anyone who doesn't like Still Life is just plain dumb.

I was talking about MAYH but whateva! lol. He beat me to a post.

Although, I would have made that joke... >_>

Lets just pretend you did make that joke. I see Orchid as a more inacessible album than MAYH but not by alot. All three of the early Opeth albums are kinda hard to get into, which would explain why so many people start with GR or BWP. Orchid seems to have alot of out of nowhere changes, which is nice cause it makes it unpredictable but can make it hard on first time listeners cause the music can be jumping all over the place. That doesn't so much happen with latter releases. You can usually get a feel for where the songs are gona go on BWP, Damnation etc.

So, let's see who has been an Opeth fan the longest. What album was their latest release when you became a fan..?

Blackwater Park was their latest release when I became a fan. I had downloaded a few songs in mid-2002. The first album I bought, though, was Deliverance, which I got as soon as it came out...

This is a question for all in ye ole 'Peth thread;

If you had to pick group of 4...

Orchid / Morningrise / My Arms, You're Hearse / Deliverance.
[B]OR[/B]
Still Life / Blackwater Park / Damnation / Ghost Reveries.

There is no reason for the order. >_>

I would pick No. 2 I think, mainly because of Still Life and BWP...

although my ultimate 4 would be Morningrise / MAYH / Still Life / BWP

I started downloading some songs about 2 months before Ghost Reveries came out. I hadn't been into metal long before that however. I only downloaded Black Rose Immortal and Bleak before deciding I'd buy all the albums. :p

Damnation was technically their most recent album when I started listening to them but I only started about 3 months before Ghost Reveries came out. My first album was BWP just like alot of people's.

EDIT: @Symbolic: First group easily.

The second group, definitely. Though Deliverance seems out of place in the first group...

[QUOTE=BurningSky;13477781]The second group, definitely. Though Deliverance seems out of place in the first group...[/QUOTE]

I had 2 groups of 3 at first (leaving out D + D) but I thought I'd add them in. I put Deliverance with the old school 'Peth for some controversy :naughty:

We're like Opeth buds!

group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two group two

You guys are all silly

Orchid > Still Life(tough choice though cause these are my two favourites)
Morningrise < Black Water Park(BWP is just better)
My Arms, Your Hearse > Damnation(no competition)
Delivernace > Ghost Reveries(another tough one since these are my least favourites)

I'm listening to [I]Still Life[/I] atm.
