    Opeth is one of the bands I absolutely must see every time they roll through the USA.
    I think I've seen them 4 or 5 times over the past 18 years, and it's never enough!
    Last time I saw them was on the last leap day, Feb 29, 2020! Got another Feb 29 coming up! Can't believe it's been 4 years already.
    Where are you, Opeth!!

      Right there with ya! I'm at five times. First time was the Damnation/Deliverance tour if I remember right. I almost missed a show a few years ago. Right after I got their logo tattooed on me. A friend informed me that if I ever miss a show in my area again of theirs he's gonna get the money together to knock me out and laser the ink off.... guess I gotta keep going.... oh darn

      @@jeremyzier8706 I had a similar experience with Tame Impala. I saw them in Dallas in 2013, and it was the same tour as the Chicago show, which got recorded for their "Live Versions" album.
      My friends & I always thought of that RSD release as a keepsake for our show. Lol.
      During that tour, they played an extended version of "Half Glass Full of Wine," with a lengthy jam in the middle that's not a part of the original EP version.

    When you put the story in context the music hits harder. If I'm not wrong the protagonist of the story comes back from exile (the village marked him as a monster for being a non believer), looking for his lost love Melinda, only to find her become a nun of sorts. He says to her "I've come for you in great dismay / all faith forever has been washed away". And at the end Melinda says to him "My promise is made / but my heart is thine".
    Truly a remarkable story inside a phenomenal album!.

    Lovely song by one of my favourite bands. I must say, I prefer the live versions (and that goes for many of their songs, especially the older ones): the vocals are more natural and intimate, and without the overdubs, the guitar melodies are cleaner and punchier.

  • @darkphoenix2
    @darkphoenix2 3 місяці тому +1

    Yo dude! Since you have pulled back from just reacting to songs, I hope you aren't depriving yourself of listening to bands like Opeth in your spare time! You might want to save some songs for UA-cam in case someone requests them, but at this point I'd rather you enjoy yourself. I mean, Opeth has so many amazing songs, if you only listened to half of their discography you'd still have plenty to make videos about.

  • @TheWhitestOfFangs
    @TheWhitestOfFangs 3 місяці тому

    Hey!
    So I have suggested this before, but since you put Opeth it connects well:
    Do some Orphaned Land, middle-eastern/oriental metal. Sometimes with orchestra. Sometimes with belly dancers.
    There are two connection here:
    One is Steven Wilson, who not only produced some of their albums, but also performed songs for them (in live shows).
    Another is that Opeth had influence over them, and one of their songs ( Chains Fall To Gravity ) really has a strong Opeth vibe (but honestly not my favorite).
    I think it was produced by Wilson to, but not sure.
    Either way, they are really great and you will enjoy it!

    I like this album a lot, but the one complaint I have about this album is the production. Mike's voice is too echoey and the mix was flat. Not taking anything away from this album because it is great.
