#PastorRob #Opeth #Reaction
Wasnt able to film a video this week because of a death in the family. Here's one we've been sitting on. Apparently, it's blocked in the US and only available in select countries so if you see it congrats! Let me know what country you are in?
Sorry for your loss hope all is well.
My condolences go to you and and your family good sir.
Hello From Saudi Arabia :D
:/ sad
Hope everyone's doing well, so sorry for your loss
The watermark of a great father. He listens to his son's music, reads the lyrics and learns about them before passing any judgement, good or bad. That's a great role model for a young man to have. The world desperately needs more men like you.
to be fair, in my opinion a parent shouldn't pass any judgement on his son's music whatever the lyrics or anything else no matter what, period.
My father doesn't understand growling. He doesn't understand heavy music. Not even distorted guitar. Everything is labeled as "Doomsday music" (without any religious meaning). I listen a lot of different music, not just heavy music. Usually (always) he finds something to complaine. But, luckily i don't live with him so i can listen whatever i want. 🤗
@@Vektori666 My dad doesn't understand heavier music either, but he's got great respect for the guys I listen to. Where we live, back in his day he didn't have access to any form of music player, so he told me he had the same reaction I did for Opeth that he did for Queen lol
i wish my parents were like him. but yeah, they don't know my type of music genre. but i'm still praying that someday, i hope they'll understand
Couldn't have said it better
If every religion had leaders and prominent members such as yourself, the world would be a much more peaceful and loving place. And we’d all just groove out to Opeth together.
Crazy followers would eventually ruin it.
If the world had no religions it would be a much more peaceful and loving place.
@@davidwhitmer8295 Some people actually find peace in religion to escape the madness of the world.. I guess it's all about perspectives
@Vlad the Inhaler The argument that the world would be a much better place if it had no you, me or any other human can easily be made if we want to take this to a logical extreme. Also, you might want to consider not artificially inflating your ego by beginning a comment with the word, correction.
Spread Cordial Curiosity
Opeth: "The devil guides the way"
Pastor: "Nice!"
:'D
Hahahahahahahha
Loooool 😆🖤
@average joe weird book
Song is about a serial killer that finds solace in murdering, its paraphrased as if its part of what is driving the serial killer. So its not really a bland statement to everyone to follow the devil. lol. Though I am pretty sure Akerfeldt is atheist.
Yeah, I caught that, too. :D
One thing I've always noticed about Opeth is that their lyrics deal with dark themes, but they never glorify them. They're always painted anxiously, and negatively. There's a real genuine sorrow within them. Their lyrics are often intentionally hard to interpret, too, in order to keep it meaningful to each individual listener.
It's also important to remember that with bands like Opeth and Porcupine Tree, the lyrics are often from someone else's perspective and they're not necessarily good. Porcupine Tree has an album called "In Absentia", and most of the lyrics are from the perspective of serial killers, the idea of "In Absentia" referring to their souls being absent.
Yeah, but our dude Michael also did some pure death metal with purely evil lyrics in his two albums with Bloodbath xd
"the lyrics are often from someone else's perspective and they're not necessarily good"
Good example is The Devil's Orchard. When it came out people made a bit of a big deal of the "God is dead" line, but in the context of the song it's a person wandering who is hearing voices tell him that, they are not the words of Mikael himself.
@@louzermonster7323 Oh absolutely. Mikael even stated that's not some philosophical claim, it's part of the concept. The end line is the giveaway -- throughout the song it's stated in some sort of triumphant way, but at the end of the song it sounds bone-chillingly unsettling. They're easy to misinterpret.
@@truedarklander Mikael is an agnostic/atheist, and some of his lyrics reflect that, but again, they're never really stated in a defiant way. I don't respect the lyrics Mikael writes with Bloodbath, but he has stated that the entirety of it is tongue in cheek.
@@RohannvanRensburg oh I know I just thought it's """funny""" in a way.
10000% of death metal bands that have gorey/violent lyrics do it memely. Unless you're Deicide of course. Satanic lyrics are another thing entirely though.
That outro is one of the best in music history... period!!
Opeth has the best outros: Burden, Closure, Deliverance, Hessian Peel, Heir Apparent and so many others. They really know how to end a song
@@eadasder13 Harlequin Forest
I think the same. every time opeth come to Chile finish their concert with this song. amazing
@@eadasder13 The outro to Karma is unreal.
Without a doubt
I am an Atheist, Agnostic open minded spiritually kind of guy and I find you are a really likeable person Mr Robert Houghton
I am also of the godless persuasion. Would love to share a cold guinness with Rob some day. Very nice dude. Open minded and objective. Not like the priests and nuns of my Irish Catholic upbringing.
@Héctor Bernal My understanding is that atheism and agnosticism deal with separate things:
Atheism with belief and agnosticism with knowledge/certainty.
So typically there are two types on opposing sides of the topic of god. An agnostic atheist is someone who doesn't know whether or not a god exists (agnostic), but doesn't believe/is not convinced of the existence(atheist). This is pretty common on the side of the nonreligious/nonbelievers.
A gnostic theist on the other hand believes (theism) AND is certain/claims to, or does, know a god exists(gnosticism).
The differentiation is the 'a' in front of those words. 'a'theism vs theism and 'a'gnosticism vs gnosticism; nonbelief vs belief, nonknowledge/noncertainty vs knowledge/certainty(or claims to knowledge)
Here here!
You arent Atheist, you are agnostic. And thats perfectily fine, but Atheist have pretty much closed the door and you havent.
@@mattnezan4259 that’s accurate and precise
"your salvation is found in a sinners deed" He is killing someone, he thinks he is being nice, releasing the person from pain by killing him. He'll take the heat, he thinks.
The whole thing is a murder, he is drowing his victim
"Your wrist in my fast grip
Look me in the eye, I'm clear
This is your time,
Face down beneath the waterline
Gazing into the deep" -
"In liquid cellophane
Gasping for air
Mercy in my eyes
Is the shade of the night" ETC ETC.
What about ”Received no warning/From nothing to a life code” part?
@@endingcredits9262 I think that might be about the madness that took over him and drove him to murder
@@endingcredits9262 Yea I think it's about finding "a call", meaning, again, this person is absolutely sure he is doing the victim a favor.
I think he describes the emotion like a person, it's drowning him, having a fast grip on his sanity, etc.
My interpretation of this song is as follows:
This is a murder (by drowning) committed by an insane person who has a warp sense of deliverance/salvation. The song is taken from the perspective of the murderer during the perpetration of the murder.
“Your salvation is found in a sinners deed”
He believes that he is bringing salvation to the victim by killing them. The salvation is for the victim and he is the sinner doing the deed (or that the deed he is committing is a sin). It’s possible that he sees them as unclean/evil/sinners that requires saving. Also, by doing his own sinner’s deed (murder) he is also bringing salvation to himself.
“Deliverance, thrown back at me…. Laughing at me”
However, after the murder he realises that salvation and deliverance will never be his because the devil (his insanity) is guiding the way. The devil/insanity is tricking him. By his sinner’s deeds he can never be saved.
Cheers!
Dude Pastors and Christians liking Opeth? Damn here every pastor in my country hates Metal in general.. That is kinda good to hear. haha
Joseph H. Eleven in my country too.
But everyone, not just christians lol.
It's because they generally blindly hate on metal without knowing the first thing about it, just like they hate on everything else without knowing the first thing about it.
A lot of religion is willful ignorance turned to hatred.
There's this stereotype that metal is devil worship, but most metal, especially the bands and songs that deal with a lot of religious and occult imagery and themes rail against hypocrisy and hatred perpetrated by religion, not against (a) god.
Yeah man, people are so stuck up and against metal. Mostly old people or religious people. But many sources say Metal is the best way to relieve the depression..
I'm Traditionnalist Orthodox. Fav bands are Opeth, Porcupine Tree, Dimmu Borgir, Meshuggah, Gojira, Haken, you name it.
Religion has nothing to do with mysticism. If you pull a rule that implies hate or refusal out of a principle, it's not mysticism, it's religion. Everyone should try to find what they enjoy and bring them together with the rest of mankind. Music in general and metal in particuliar are it for me :)
@@whackangel I agree completely. Music is the best thing, whether rock, pop, metal, ambient, anything good.
Opeth is amazing
1. That turntable is gorgeous!
2. Opeth is an amazing band.
3. This is the band that got my dad into listening to extreme metal.
4. I've seen Opeth one time live on the Watershed tour. My dad has seen them 6 times now.
5. Steve Wilson is the god of recording mixing and mastering. He's also a great song writer.
6. Father's and sons rocking out to great music is an absolute blessing to see. It saved mine and my dads relationship.
This is really beautiful. I wish I had this. But he's twisted and my only wish is to slay him with my bare hands. I've seen Opeth once and I was kind of disappointed (ICV tour) but I still love the band!
Pastor: "I don't know what you mean by heavy, so, wel'll see..."
Opeth: "Hold my Deliverance..."
I laughed so hard XD
more like Ghost of Perdition or Blackwater Park
@@Terminxman more like master's apprentices
@@DarkDanteM4 Blackwater Park is better
I dunno Masters Apprentices and the entire deliverance album is a fucking masterpiece and holds up better than blackwater park even though bwp is a five star album of its own...
I applaud the stance you took to your son's music. Not many parents wouldgo to the trouble of trying to understand in the way you have. I really do respect that
Opeth is trully blessed band... such amazing music they create
I am a Christian, my top 2 favourite bands are Opeth and Tool. So thank you for creating this channel just for me! Now I'll just sit here and wait patiently for you to round out my top 3 and do "The Art of Dying" by Gojira.
Such a great channel. It's really interesting to hear a pastor's perspective on these songs. I personally don't read too much into lines like the salvation sinners deed thing.
Opeth is a band I have to be in the mood to listen to. That said, when that mood arises, it’s absolutely incredible.
Hi, I think the murderer sees him/herself as somebody who helps the victim by killing them. Deliverance. The killer frees the victim from an real or perceived affliction.
Opeth is my favorite band too. You should react to "face of Melinda"
Can an ex-girlfriend make you hate a song? Face of Melinda is that exactly for me. That bitch ruined it. Reminds me of her too much. can't listen to it.
@@Agentt4777 Thats really sad. Face of melinda is one of their best work.
@@veritas9545 Agreed
Agent777 do you know what that albums about?? It's a bout a man being exiled from.his town and comes back years later to find the love his life married someone else
@@Agentt4777 You can't let people ruin things you like. Regardless of whatever she did, remember why you liked the song to begin with, focus on that, and push the other shit to the wayside.
I wish my dad would’ve sat down with me and asked me what my music meant to me and how it spoke to me. I loved my dad but seldom connected to me as you and your father communicated. Gauge, you’re very fortunate to have a father who reaches out to you. Treasure your relationship because you won’t have him forever.
First time hearing this band and I’m not disappointed!
Mike's newer stuff is a lot more classic-prog oriented. Most of the hardcore Opeth fans, such as myself, are not happy with their direction the last 2 albums. Check out the album Watershed, and song called Hex Omega. It is one of my favorites form Opeth. Just unreal.
dude, you are in for a ride.
first time i heard opeth was live in 2017. since that time i'm completely addicted to them.
Blackwater park is their (piece de resistance). Listen from front to back!
@L germ Gauge says Black waterpark is his fav.
@@roberthoughton7127 Then you should give "The Drapery Falls" a try, absolutely gorgeous song.
You guys need to react to Gojira!!
Yeaah, because gojira talk a lot about death and the afterlife so i think it would be interesting to see the pastor's point of view
Born in Winter for a smooth start
@@death-metalhead6818 or lowlands
Art of dying would lead to a nice discussion but Born in Winter is a nice start to later go harder
THE HEAVIEST MATTER IN THE UNIVERSE !!!
Yup, react to fair judgement. Probably the best song on the album. Their song Harvest off of black water park is one you’ll love. Not heavy, but beautiful!
Age Madrid I am just about to comment and suggest Harvest, they will defo dig that
This one!
Benighted as well. I personally like benighted more than harvest
Sharoop Puthoor yeh there’s other better songs but I’m interested how the pastor will interpret the content of Harvest
Opeth BLEAK! PLEASEEEEEEE
That one is my favorite song too.
Harlequin forest.
@@TheBracer18 That's better.
Bleak and Harlequin Forest are Opeth's best 2 songs...
Have no listened to HF, but of what I've heard Bleak is at least their best heavy song. Honestly I prefer their soft Damnation-esque stuff more.
this is what more parents need to do ...is just listen and pay more attention to their kids and really understand them ...great song
This is probably the coolest and most open minded Pastor I’ve ever seen. Haha Great video, gents! Opeth is my favourite band of all time. So much talent!
I never clicked so fast on something. Glad Opeth is his favourite band, it's also mine :))
Mine too, after I discovered them 3 days ago. Now I'm poor and got all their albums :P
This is the most amazing song live. The energy of the crowd was like nothing I’d ever felt.
Ffffff!!! I love Opeth so much, it's one of my favorite bands!! As a Christian, I've been questioned and criticized heavily about my faith because I listen to metal, sometime I even get made fun of of how I probably am full of demons 😓. I'm so thankful there are people like you talking about the art of metal music with an open mind and setting an example -even to non-believers- about what true Christianity is and how it goes far beyond what music you listen to. I bet you're going to be touching lots of lives through this channel. Keep rocking on and spreading God's word, guys! Blessings from Mexico!
Opeth is one of the greats! Ghost Reveries got me into this band!
Oh boy, that was incredibly satisfying to watch! Please do more Opeth, you won't be disappointed! (Bleak)
MORE OPETH!!
This is one of the quintessential tracks from a band that IS it's own genre.
The word "epic" isn't enough to describe the musical brilliance of the ensemble that is Opeth.
"When driven into sin, your salvation's found in a sinner's deed" - makes more sense to read that line with the previous one
Thank you for this and sorry for your loss. Favourite band, favourite song, so this is highly appreciated. People who do UA-cam reactions on Opeth never choose this song.
Agreed & I spam it in all their channels relentlessly, but to no avail.
You might enjoy Lost in Vegas 😊
OMG I WAITED FOR OPETH FOR SO LONG, THANK YOU GUYS
God bless you both of you, it’s weird being an atheist and saying that but I really do mean it. Much love from a new fan.
Love Gauge’s manner and knowledge, seems like a lovely young dude. Great content lads, very interesting stuff!
Oh yes!!! Bless you for doing this one!
Great video Robert! Arrived here because the title and enjoyed every minute! Loved your open mind to know about things outside the comfort zone and in special for trying to learn more about something from your son's universe, you rock! Congrats from extreme south of Brazil!
You know, this is me watching your video for the first time. I subscribed the second you say 'goosebumps' which is what got me into Opeth in 2008, I love them the most.
Such a wholesome and beautiful channel. Makes me want to have more content from you guys.
I love this version, Can't believe I haven't heard the remixed version before. Clean as a whistle. Incredible tune brings me right back to my college years.
11:50
song: devil guide the day
pastor: nice
For sure. The protagonist was acknowledging that this act was being lead by the Devil. That’s a Biblical truth.
John 8:44 “You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”
Not to mention those harmonies were awesome!
Great vid guys, really enjoyed. Blackwater park is another great one from opeth you should definitely check out!
Best album by a long way!
DEFINITELY “Blackwater Park” thank you one of the originals!
I randomly stumbled over your channel and I, as parent, and a metalhead, absolutely love the way you and your son interact. Sure your son will be a better person because of you and you will be a better person because of your son. Keep up listening to good music without prejudging it...
You should also check out Steven Wilson's work, both Porcupine Tree and his solo stuff. Mikael and Steven are close friends for nearly 20 years now, that's why they both influenced each other musically. Most of Opeth is produced and remastered by Steven like these albums, as well as other classic prog albums from 70's and 80's.
Steven Wilson is awesome but your info is actually inaccurate. He only produced 3 albums and did mixing on 2 others. That doesn't even cover half their discography. Mikael Akerfeldt has also expressed how he doesn't like remastered albums because it messes with the original vibe.
Newer stuff from Opeth would fit Pastor's taste, like Sorceress.
Pale Communion I feel is their best prog-rock album, they should check it out. I love their older albums but Pale Communion is a masterpiece imo. Every song is excellent on that album. I do like Sorceress tho.
@@musicmademejester Moon Above, Sun Below is such a criminally underrated song. I slept on it completely until seeing them at the tail end of the Sorceress tour and they were playing some stuff they don't usually include in their sets to shake things up a bit, including that. The acoustic cover of Napalm Death's "You Suffer" was also excellent. :P
I'm so thankful of this channel, really great job, God bless you
Opeth is really special, I hope you react to more of their songs
And you should comment In the next video that viewers in the US can use VPN to watch the blocked videos like this one, that's how I'm watching it!
Deliverance one of the best Opeth songs.. I would recommend reacting to BLACK ROSE IMMORTAL please from Morningrise album, you should react to that.
I love the imagery in this song, black rose immortal is some of their earliest and best works
@@daltonhaverland1155 Definitely man, the lyrics are really awesome and poetic. And all the transitions, acoustic sections, great guitar solos.. every thing is great about the song. And the final 17 second long scream at the end :)
Black rose immortal for sure. Probably my favourite opeth song.
Hell yeah to that. Black Rose Immortal got me into Opeth.
Jajajjaj... es una locura
This is the first video I've seen of yours. You seem like a great guy, and an inspirational father. Hats off to you good sir. Looking forward to watching more from your channel.
Awesome video guys. I love this band and it was cool to watch the reaction along with the commentary.
Guage has very good taste.. Opeth is also one of my favorite bands.. You might find the song Harvest off that album to be more your style.
@@ayo0702 yes.
Harvest is the song that got me into Opeth. I remember being blown away at how such a eerie song could sound so beautiful at the same time! Pure Masterpiece
saw them live when they released these albums. they played it in two halves, first the clean damnation style, then the heavy stuff. epic gig. all the band are all hugely talented, such an impressive band.
tool and opeth are two of my favourite bands, so i love what you're giving us on this channel!
Please do more videos guys. I love your take on these songs and how beautifully you decipher the lyrics. Much love from London UK!
I've been seeing a few videos of you and if everyone was a open minded as you man, the world would be such a better place. Thanks for being this way man
Ive never even listened to opeth it actually sounds great 👍 nice video
Glad you liked it. Gauge said you will enjoy their breakthrough album from 2001 ua-cam.com/video/zhidUmuWkyg/v-deo.html
Yes. One of my favourite songs, I'm glad you enjoyed it. It's always amazed me how the singer can sound angelic and demonic in the same song. You guys should react to Tool again, The grudge is a good song :)
Deliverance is one of my favourite songs ever. I love Opeth
Keep these videos up please. I'm really getting into these types of reaction videos and they are great!
I thought Christmas was over ! You just keep giving me these presents !
Yeeeees, what a great song! One of my favorites ❤
Although I prefer the original mixing by Steven Wilson
Love watching you two bond over heavy music. You're an inspiration
First time seeing one of your videos, and it warms my heart to see something like this. I grew up in the church listening to this type of music and always felt like I was out of the fold. Thankfully, I still had people that were invested in me, but they could never take the time to sit and have a conversation about my taste in extreme music. All I ever wanted was to have a conversation, and this is what you are giving. Just now subscribing, and I look forward to see what more you have.
Another song you might like/would be good to react to would be "In the name of God" by Dream Theater.
P.S love the channel.
I second this, and a number of other Dream Theater songs
Dream Theater are really good with deep lyrical content!!
That one would be great for this channel!
They should listen to some Black Clouds and Silver Linings stuff, they got good topics
Or A change of seasons!
Yes!
This remixed version sounds so good. First time hearing it and I really love it.
Really enjoyed this video. Watching your son look over at you seeing how you were reacting to various bits in the song was so great to watch and you taking the time to listen and understand his choice of music is amazing. I look forward to sharing this experience with my son one day. Cheers from a huge metal fan from Australia.
Awesome as usual!
Also, sorry to hear about the death in the family. Thinking of you guys
Great to hear a guy not appreciating harsh vocals still impressed by the skillset of Mikael. Also you guys have a great vibe.
Pastor Rob is pretty cool. Keep it up!
You are so openminded!! in a society like ours, with so much certainties and black/white positionings you are sooo welcome!!
You 2 are awesome. Keep it up fellas 🙏🏻
Wow didn't know Opeth was so obscure for alot of people, nice video, sick song! *listening to prog - "I was not expecting that!" * Gotta hear that alot!
11:50 - wouldn't have expected a preacher man so jollily nod to those lyrics. :D
Awesome! You guys covered Opeth! Phenomenal band!
This is the first video ive seen of you but this is great, i love the style you do. Most people hear one part they dont like and are completly turned off by it, but you show respect for the music and thats a rare and beautiful thing. Keep it up guys
When it comes to progressive metal, nothing can be better than Opeth.
I'd love for you guys to listen to 'Burden' by Opeth and see what you make of that song.
Man, I'm so not used to this version of "Deliverance" but I'm also absolutely pleased watching you 2 reacting to this and breaking so many barriers!
I did not see this coming! I was not expecting to see an Opeth Review, and I was not expecting your Son to be so well versed in Opeth. Much respect! I've seen them play live many times, from small bars to The Sydney Opera House, they are incredibly talented.
Please react to The Moor, still life is a great concept album by opeth with some religious things imvolved in the plot
Would be great
subscribed! :) More Opeth would be awesome
From The Netherlands! Love your content! Keep it up!
Great channel, love the content, please keep it up!
Greatest outro of all time.
Please do a reaction video of Ghost of Perdition by Opeth
May be the best epic ever written.
Sir, you are definitely a metalhead, and a person of a high quality. So interesting to discover this video 2 years after the release.
Love this, seeing you from México.
The key is in the line before.
When driven into sin, your salvation's found in a sinner's deed.
So if it's about the guy self-mutilating, he's gonna die and you're going to survive. Or he's gonna kill you.
Opeth is also my favorite band lol
Thanks for bringing Opeth to the channel, I'm watching you from Brazil. Btw, MORE OPETH PLEASE!
Looking back I can now appreciate the interest my father showed in the things I loved and affected me, this is a beautiful thing...
Greetings from Brazil!! 🤘
Boa irmãozinho
Brasil il il
Hey, you should to react to Stargazer by Rainbow, its a beautiful song by Ronnie James Dio. The song is about false phophets and the people being mislead.
I think I listened to this song everyday for like three years straight when I was a teenager back in Colombia. So magical how timeless music really is. Great to see that it has the same effect on him. He said everything my teenager self would have if I was in front of the mic.
Finally a genuine reaction video on UA-cam! You can see the thrill of listening to an Opeth song for the first time just exploding in this guy's eyes... I love it 😁
Opeth is one of my rainy day bands ... They are in my first 5 favorite band of all time... Your sons music taste is awesome :) Song offer Nile -iskander dhul karnon ? next time maybe ... BTW (from turkey)
Kamelot - Memento Mori
don't forget about this one!
Kamelot has a lot of great songs... would be an awesome choice. Roy Khan even left the band to work on his local church, I always thought the music had a spiritual edge.
@@leandronc yeah, but not to work at the church, but because he was burnt out. And in case you didn't know, he's back with his first band Conception.
@@dodgrblu I know, I'm really digging the EP tracks they posted on UA-cam.
@@leandronc I really like Feather Moves, but for some reason they didn't put it on the actual EP
What an honest and great intro. I enjoyed that so much. Put a smile on my face. Especially how you described your discovery of your son listening to an album called „damnation“. Thank you for sharing.
By the way: Architects - Broken Cross
I've just been watching all your videos. You are so cool, both of you. New subscriber right here man, greetings from Portugal.
