Title: For you Opeth fans around here
Post by: nO-One on August 25, 2003, 03:51:09 PM
found this link, Opeth live a bunch of good songs, starts off with Godheads Lament and ends with Demon of the Fall, they play other great songs like The Drapery Falls and a Fair Judgement.

One of the most underated bands there is,  their music is just too good.
Anyhoo here you go

Underrated?

Everyone that\'s ever heard them knows them as one of the greatest bands in the world!

That\'s just it, their not that well known. Everybody\'s that heard them and likes music enjoys them but Opeth is just about unknown outside the metal genre. Usually I loathe when bands get too well known, but Opeth is one of the bands that just deserve fame.

I think Opeth is right where they should be right now.  Among the community of people who listen to metal they are very well known, but they are out of the mainstream scene.  That\'s how I\'d like to see it stay.  

Opeth is one of my very favorite bands.  I still think Blackwater Park is one of the best albums I\'ve ever heard, although all their other stuff is great as well.  But I like the idea of them not becoming too mainstream.  They would just lose the respect of a lot of people so undeservingly if that happened.

By the way, thanks for the video :)

Uhm..Oh yeah and \'Blackwater Park\' is the greatest album, followed by \'Damnation\'..

Well I like Opeth just the way they are, relativily unknown to mainstream music and loved in the metal scene, I just think that they deserve more for all their hard work, read their session diaries the work that goes into making the albums is amazing. They should be able to do live nicely for a while and not sleep in the studio to save money.

I do like Opeth, and I actually paid for one of their CDs.  That\'s unheard of for me.  :)

However I would like them more without the cookie monster voice.

I was in Copenhagen for the Rolling Stones concert in July, was actually planning on taking the train and check out Sweden but....Christiania was more important :p

Core, C\'mon man the mix of melodic and death metal vocal styles is one of the things that make Opeth so good.

I saw them live at the Troc in philly. Hands down one of the best concerts I have ever been too. They sound the exact same live as they do on the album. Its awesome
