People judge you by the way you present yourself. If you spell like a eight-year-old and refuse to use correct sentence structure and punctuation people will think of you as a uneducated fool.

I believe that it is," If you spell like an eight-year-old..."
I'm terribly sorry, it's just grammar.

Me forgetting to use "an" instead of "a" is nothing compared to your butchering of my native tongue.

[QUOTE=hethamulburton]Is it not one aspect of your arguement against my intelligence, that I "butcher" spelling and grammar. You're now being hypocritical; you remind me of John Kerry.[/QUOTE]
Don't compare me to Kerry, I hate that man.

Getting back to our original arguement, why do you think Opeth is "weird"?

Are you done gawking at that site yet? [url]www.opeth.com[/url] Bio on Peter
So as you can see Metallica has had more of an impact than you have given them credit for. As for them being weird, they are Swedish, or from around there, and many people from that area are kind of weird, but only the metal bands, no one else there is like this. These Metal guys in that area think metal is fast guitar riffs that are monotonous and stay that way song after song. Now I've heard many bands of that region, many don't appeal to me, but some do, and it seems this is one that does not appeal to my taste in music, as it does the rest of you ladies.

[QUOTE=.:~ Route 1 ~:.]Opeth is about the music, not the stage performance. Also, they are the only talented musicians on that bill, IMO.[/QUOTE]

Buzz from Unearth was sweeping up and down his guitar, and Ken was sweeping behind his head. Chris Adler is a million times better then the drummer from Opeth, unless he just decides to not try during thieir music.

But if I knew nothing about Opeth or Uneart and I watched that concert I would think Buzz is a ton better than Opeths guys.

I agree, Opeth is not very overly talented, so many bands have guys who literally reap talent, Opeth does not.
Sorry about my other comment Dannyboy. :thumb:

WHO CARES IF THEY CAN MOVE THEIR GUITARS IN A FANCY MANNER!?

If you compare Opeth's technicality and lyrical content to LoG's, LoG pales in comparison. Face it, Opeth is the superior band.

It's a matter of opinion, he can't prove it, nor can you or I. Face it no one can prove who is the better band, and no magazine countdowns don't count either.

1st off I said he was sweeping, like sweep picking the guitar. Fast. Also, from what I saw yesterday Opeth is not very talented at all. Maybe if you are one of the people that thinks songwriting is where true talent lies, then sure if you like the music.

Im just saying, nobody in that band did anything exceptional yesterday during their performance.

And if you think that Lamb of Gods riffs aren't technical, that just shows how ignorant Opeth fanboys truly are. And Lamb of Gods lyrics are great, if you are into them. Thats just a matter of opinion though.

No, you can. Actually buy some Opeth albums and LISTEN to Opeth's guitar work and READ their lyrics. You will quickly realize that they are a very talented band.

Do you judge bands by how they act onstage?

Plus I own almost all of the LoG albums. I have read their lyrics and see nothing special about them.

What a spammerific new member... what songs do you base your opinion on hethamul? Also I suggest you delete some of your useless posts before a mod sees the excessiveness of them.

But you can always argue that this song has better axe work, or this song has better drums, or vocals. It's how you look at it, if I took a stand point of," Old McDonald," was the greatest song ever, and truely believed it, why would listening to a band make me change my mind.

Actually, I'm only new to the forums, I have a different screen name for the actual site itself.

So you think they have to do some stupid moves with their instruments to be a talented band? if so, you're a fool. It's about the music. Plus, Opeth has many famous solos but you wouldn't know about them because you don't listen to them.

[QUOTE=hethamulburton]Actually, I'm only new to the forums, I have a different screen name for the actual site itself.[/QUOTE]

Kudos. Now delete your spam one page back please.

And R. Blythe, Opeth doesn't appeal to Harcore/Metalcore fans usually.. SotU is based around that genre.

God you are dense. Im sayin they didnt impress me with their talent of the instrument they played. Buz doing 5 string sweeps for like 2 minutes straight was impressive, Chris Adlers drumming was impressive. Opeth, nothing was really impressive.

You dont have to start crying about it when someone comes and states that they dont like Opeths live show.

I'm not crying about it. I'm simply trying to get it through your head that Opeth is very talented. You don't need to do 5 string sweeps to be talented.

All truths.

Well said. But I also believe that Blythe was right when he said bands should have good stage performances, if you pay top currency for it, then you should expect something that would blow your mind, and not as he says Opeth played, where he didn't like them on stage.

[QUOTE=R. Blythe]Buz doing 5 string sweeps for like 2 minutes straight was impressive, Chris Adlers drumming was impressive. Opeth, nothing was really impressive.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, they didnt do sweeping at the show, so they must not be able to do it at all. Opeth's riffs are far more complex and unorthodox than any of Lamb of God's, and Mikael and Peter are more than capable of mindlessly shredding, though they opt for writing solos instead of just going haywire on the guitar.

Dear lord...we need "thread moderators" who can annihilate people at will. If you want to continue being an idiot....go for it. Don't do it here. If you don't like the band, then there's no point in posting in this thread.

Lamb of God

Opeth

Heres the midi files so you can hear all instruments in both songs and hear how they play their parts.

I think dicking around on stage and playing Lamb of God songs would be alot easier.

Now everyone else. Leave Randy alone you have missunderstood his posts. He is not saying Opeth is untalented its just their live shows are a bit boring to him. So what he likes an exciting show. YOU can not compare LoG to Opeth. Its like apples and oranges. Both tast good but completely different. When I stick Opeth I listen to Opeth, enjoying their style. When I listen to Lamb I enjoy the music they offer.

Now Randy before you say anything more about their music listen to Black Rose Immortal if imppresive solos and stuff is what you like, then this has it. Htye play some very cool and fast solos.

Well no shi[I]t[/I], this the Opeth thread right? Don't bring your metalcore band and argument in here. So what if you feel threatened by another metal band, it doesn't mean you have to trigger a very poor argument.

Now moving on... what is everyones favorite Opeth song to play? I am personally having lots of fun with Benighted, I can't get enough of Mikael's acoustic work. :)
