I do not own this music and vid. It is the bonus dvd from Ghost Reveries. So, if you like, please buy it. This is the second part from the documentary 'Beyond Ghost Reveries'. Part I - • Opeth - Beyond Ghost R...
cant beleive this album is 14 years old now.. time flies.. also i must have watched this documentary about 50 times now. doesnt get old. for this low of a production they sure did manage to get beautiful surroundings for mikeals interviews.
For people that are wondering what song the riff Mikael is playing at 4:12 is from. It's from Megalomania, by Black Sabbath, from the album Sabotage. Just saying...
That's why people are interested in Opeth. I am not a dyed in the wool metalhead anymore, or at least the devoted self proclaimed metalheads would say I am not. Not doing the costume, the speak, the elitism. I think that is a huge part of Opeth and Tool. It crosses genre lines all over the place, transcends the boundaries. I have a few friends I would call deadheads, Gerry is held in the highest esteem. These people love Tool and Opeth, probably because they are not restrained to any preconceptions and the music is beautiful and intelligent. I saw youtube video. GOJIRA live at red rocks recently, it had a big impact on me, I think that is a band I will jump into exploring what they are doing, throwing off, or creating new styles.
I would love one more Opeth record with this line up (minus Per). Watershed and Heritage do very little for me. I miss Peter's riffing and Lopez's special flair and groovy fills.
I don't know if this is stating the obvious, but Lopez is in a new band called "Soen", and their first record is really awesome. It sounds a bit like Tool, but also different in many ways. Just a littel suggestion, if you havn't heard of them :)
i think i found it out, it sounds like Ghost of perdition, if you think about it it sounds allot like the part around 5:00 into GoP. i may be wrong, but could it be like a remixed or acoustic version of it?
I think they're too different to compare. Lopez has a strong Latin American influence in his music that resonates in every beat he plays, and Axenrot has a strong basis in free jazz and early prog styles.
