Or another great tune by the band, but with no growling:

Ha!

 

[Steerpike]

Ha!

I figured "Surely everyone loves Opeth."

So it seemed like a logical thread.

No Morbid Angel songs allowed.

 

[Shogun]

This place doesn't strike me as the most Opeth friendly, steerpike.

blasphemer!

 

[Shogun]

is it just me or does that second song sound kinda like some 80s loverboy.. or nightranger?

Has more a 70s sound to me.

Speaking of 80s rock though, I just got a copy of Too Fast For Love. I still maintain that's the only Motley Crue album worth listening to.

Loverboy sucked. But Dawn Patrol was a good album by Nightranger

 

[Shogun]

oh no, sir. Shout At The Devil is their best. Followed closely by Dr. Feelgood, I think.

Have you heard Too Fast for Love? A lot of people aren't familiar with that one because they were unknowns when that one came out.

Oh, to get back to Opeth. When this CD came out, a reviewer said Opeth accomplished more in this song than any other death metal band will accomplish in its entire career. I'm gonna change it and say they accomplish more than Metallica has accomplished in the last 20 years

if you mean, "ripping off Morbid Angel" when you say "accomplish more than metallica" I will have to agree with you!

Ah...one song with a little similarity. Can do that with any metal band. The entire doom genre would be a ripoff of Sabbath, power metal and maiden, etc. All blues is a ripoff of each other for using the progression, etc..

Shogun, this is you in the pit....the heretic:

BTW, I had dinner with a Swedish exchange student the other night. I didn't even think to ask her about Opeth.

Great song. I've seen them live a number of times, and I recommend it.

Right now Bloodbath is on tour (singer and drummer from Opeth). They're more straightforward hardcore death metal though.
