    Never thought I’d see Abraham Lincoln chillin to Opeth but I’m satisfied

    Beautiful. You know music is great when it converts to classic orchestra instrumentation well.

    • @yvancluet8146
      @yvancluet8146 8 років тому +10

      it doesn't have to work well in an orchestra to be good music

    • @DomSchu

      Yvan Cluet No, but you know it is good when it does.

      ah yes, true. Except bad claisscal music :p

      @grumpledumples3642 8 років тому +8

      well.. when you write classical music on modern instruments it converts pretty seamlessly

    • @chessbrainiac
      @chessbrainiac 8 років тому +19

      That depends mostly on how it is arranged. You can have bad arrangements and good arrangements (like this one). A bad arrangment can ruin what is otherwise a beautiful piece.

    Welcome to: "How to make a Progressive Metal song sound 10x times more dramatic and like the soundtrack of an epic movie"
    Step 1- get Nine Cellos

    • @u.v.s.5583
      @u.v.s.5583 6 років тому +7

      The same step 1 applies as an answer to the question, how to make a nice bonfire.

    • @soullessSiIence
      @soullessSiIence 6 років тому +12

      It's not progressive metal (and it's not written like that). The entire song is in 4/4. It's just a rock song.

    • @WhiteKhamaleon
      @WhiteKhamaleon 6 років тому +6

      Step 2 - get Nine clones of yourself

    • @sydkvistarn
      @sydkvistarn 6 років тому +4

      Doesn't change the fact that Opeth is a prog band and that they produce prog rock. It's like saying Beatles made that one Helter Skelter song so they're basicly a rock-band. Doesn't work

    • @Grease-Goblin
      @Grease-Goblin 6 років тому +22

      Because, as we all know, you can't be progressive if you're in 4/4.

    To hear this - a nostalgic favorite of mine - interpreted in this particular style is a very special thing. It's almost archaic, as if my soul is being gripped by the voices of a past life. This is a privilege, and an expansion to musical horizon. Thank you so much.

  • @dantess2693

    I had hard time to pick up the melody at the beggining, but I don't say that's a flaw, it is, sometimes, the beauty of the arrangements, to deviate a little from the original. Good stuff, mate.
