Most awful band, yeah right. Try listening to My finest hour, Arasmas, will change your mind for sure ;)

Yeah, it feels like sunday afternoons are always rainy, but it's probably a misconception. I don't mind though :) Try lastfm if you want to listen to them. My finest hour is a great song, but try Here's where the story ends on google, good too...

Oh sorry about the confusion ;) We could start a thread about Sundays too, and what music to listen to on Sunday afternoons. Why not start with The Sundays? :) I actually think they would fit pretty well as music for rainy Sundays; their music is really sweet, light and optimistic; will put...

A few days ago I was watching a show on Swedish tv where someone recommended a band called The Syndays. Didn't seem that exciting I thought, but anyway I searched the internet and gave it a listen. And... I'm in love! They're this indie-pop group from the 80's, with a female vocalist (good...

yep, it's a "she". There's a user on you tube called thumphrey05 I think, who makes piano covers of Mars volta, Pink Floyd, Radiohead, Tool and Porcupine Tree among others, and I wish he would do Opeth covers as well cause he's so unbelievably talented it's crazy. No offense to vkgoeswild who...

I just found this on You tube, and it's really something I think! So far it's the best piano cover of an Opeth song I've seen. Apparently To bid you farewell and For absent friends have also been made into covers by the same user, but personally I liked Hope leaves best... Check it out!

I actually saw Fredrik and Axe in Gothenburg in December, the day they were playing at Brewhouse. I only saw them from a distance though; I was on a tram going down Avenyn (the largest avenue in Gothenburg) and saw them coming out from Condeco (a coffee shop) and then walking up Avenyn. They...

Santa Claus?

Maybe playing an elf in a new version of Lord of the Rings? Lord Elrond!

I was wondering if someone could help me with this. I was listening to the song Echoes by Camel just now, and as always when listening to this song I was struck by how wonderful and intense and beautiful and moving the intro is (goes on to about 1:40). So I'm wondering if there's anyone out...

Somehow I can totally see him as a mad science professor, with the white coat, big glasses and crazy haircut :)

What other profession(s) do you think would suit Mike? I think he would be well suited as a night radio speaker or something in those terms =) His warm and calm voice would be perfect for it! =) Any other suggestions??

Trains by Porcupine Tree! Imagine Opeth making a heavier version of that song, and with Mike's wonderful voice on top of that!

I would take Hessian Peel, I think it shows the true dynamics of Opeth; both the jazzy/mellow side and the heavy side.

No no, they're not effects or anything, it's just the way Mike's voice sounds now, it's probably a bit battered after all the years of touring, smoking and alchohol. Either way it sounds cool, I absolutely love it! And it's not that hard to notice really, just turn up the volume a bit and you'll...

Porcupine Tree - Trains Mastodon - Hearts alive Pink Floyd - Learning to fly Alice in Chains - Down in a hole Opeth - Would? Isis - Wrists of kings Pure Reason Revolution - The intention craft

If you've got the whole Opeth discography on you ipod, and you turn up the volume to the top when you're playing Weakness and then forget to turn it down again when Weakness ends... major ear exposion :)

Cool! Is it hard coming up with melodies? Cause the growls don't really have any melodies, they're just screamed words...

I would really love to hear some growl parts sung with clean vocals... I mean, just imagine Mike singing a song like Ghost of perdition clean all the way through. I can almost hear it now: Ghost of Mother Lingering death Ghost on Mother's bed Black strands on the pillow Contour of her...

I want to know that too! Another nice track is the one being played when the "Past meadow grounds, and further away from my home" part starts.
