I love where Mikael has gone with Opeth. So looking forward to his Storm Corrosion release with Steven Wilson.

Ugh... Opeth should never have strayed.

I respectfully disagree.

Dont get me wrong. I love death metal. But Mikael Akerfeldt is far too talented to be restricted to that genre. I am a huge fan of 60's/70's prog rock. This is what he belongs making.

you don't like Steven Wilson, Mo Cutter?

I mean he does have forearms like popeye, but he's a good guitar player.

No doubt. I feel like Akerfeldt belongs on Ipecac Records, not in the band that Opeth envisioned. I'm a huge fan of him, but just not 60/70s prog, even though, lol, I'm a diehard RUSH/YES/ZAPPA fan. I just don't think Heritage works with the rest of their catalog in a live show.

 

[ChiefWhiteHorse]

Pshhh diehard zappa fan my left testicle.

Also I oughta punch you in the eye for liking Yes but not other prog. LOL

I guess on Storm Corrosion, Mikael handles the majority of the guitar work, with Steven handling keyboard duties. They say only 15-20% of the album has drums on it by Gavin Harrison of Porcupine Tree.

I preordered the special edition, can't fucking wait for May 7th.

no no... love Steven Wilson. just talking purely about Opeth as a touring and studio band.

I've seen each "Opeth", Heritage was a much better show than Blackwater Park. And, like I said, I love death metal. He has found what he is. Why should a band be confined to one genre? They were progressive from the beginning slowly moving in this direction. Shouldn't really be a surprise.

God, Mikael and Steven are both musical geniuses. Storm Corrosion is going to be amazing. I hope I don't have my hopes too high.

 

[ChiefWhiteHorse]

You ever seen Live at Tilberg? (PPT concer for Fear of a Blank Planet)

Watched that last time I was space travelin and it was pretty sweet... You can tell most of the band members are stoned too.

 

[ChiefWhiteHorse]

Also PPT's bassist has this dopey, 1,000 yard stare, child molester look to him.

and

All steven wilson does when he plays guitar is sway and flip his hair around. Damn hippie...

 

[SLY]

Nah, I've actually never caught them live, or even seen any footage. I'll check it out now though.

lmao, I was just gonna say, the bassist is in his own little world, in a creepy way.

We were debating whether all of the songs on In Absentia were written about shit the bassist has done.
