@@shane727 maybe if he tried to make it officially part of the song but I don't see anything wrong with just playing for yourself. Have you never improvised over a song you were playing before?
Seeing the smile Mikael had on his face when Steven replayed the vocal harmonies was priceless at 1:43 - 3:00 . What really killed me was Mikael's instant "YES!" to Steven's "I'm just wondering if I should add my voice to the mix"
These guys are truly amazing. Neither Steven nor Mikael are professional musicians, in a way that they could explain things in theoretical terms, but they are both incredible intuitive geniuses. They just rely on their instincts and everything they touch turns to gold. Sure, neither of them are incredible instrumentalists, but you don't have to be a virtuoso to be a great composer.
Stevens Solo at 4:57 is one of me most briliant short solos i ever heard. After all these years i haven't seen this. I still remembered that this beautiful piece of music exist. I needed to come back to see it. This were great times to be into Opeth.
Went fishing last weekend in Hayward, WI and the guide had his radio on some public radio show on the way to the shack. Somebody was interviewing Steven Wilson and now here I am, watching this for the 50th time.
What was the song that Mikael and Steven were recording vocals on? EDIT: Found it. Master’s Apprentices. What a great song, really wish Steven’s solo at 4:58 made it in somehow

@@shane727 i’m sure mikeal would have been more than happy to feature a guest solo from steven, i think the primary and most likely reason is just that it didn’t fit.
I loved deliverance and damnation, THEN I saw this and said "wait, the singer/guitar player from porcupine tree produced it? No wonder I love it so much"
@@TheFbiFilesRepeat Axe is one of the most technically gifted drummers on the planet (and superior to Lopez in that area), but some people prefer Lopez's feel. Its all irrelevant now anyways, Lopez is not coming back, he has his own band.
I like when Steven says "I'm just wondering whether I should add my voice" and Mikael's immediately like "YES!" lol. The bromance is real.
Well, Steven is not a great singer.
@@Avisale Have you ever listened to Porcupine Tree?
@@sammyloehnis3373 Many times in a live, poor voice. He has admitted it more than once.
@@Avisale I think most vocalist consider themselves not very good singers actually
Yea he’s not actually a great singer but luckily he so good at writing music that it works anyways and sounds amazing in his context.
"It'll be tight...... as a witch's cleft."
-Steven Wilson
In Opeth folklore now pretty much
Lopez's face at 6:34. He knows he's good.
1:00 Love how Steven just plays a solo right there and then. Such an instinctive guitarist/musician
A bit narcissistic tbh
@@shane727 dude, thats not what a narcissist is
@@shane727 I guess I kinda see where you're coming from but I really think he's just jamming along, I don't think he was trying to show off

How many times have I seen this documentary, well countless times
EricMetalhead same here
i dont know how manty times ive seen this like maybe 10 -12 times the whole way through - its kinda scary

They're pretty damn good guitarists and vocalists. I'd argue those are actually both of their strongest skills musically.
Ummm I'm pretty sure they qualify as professional musicians. Maybe virtuoso is the word you should've used. Because they're definitely professional.
The happiness of Mikael when he listen to the voices put together 2:08
I've listened to this album so many damn times that every time I hear an isolated drum part I instantly know what part of which song is being played.
Steven is a genius

Hey dude, not sure if it's gonna make you happy or not, but I did some soloing in Steven Wilson's style on Master's Apprentices on my channel.
@@lordgraga yeah i checked it out was nice to listen to
@@janschneidereit3144 cheers mate!

*smells armpits*
How tight will it be?
Tight as a witch 's cleft
*curls up moustaches laughing *
LEGENDARY
Mikael: "No we don't have many fights... "
Peter: "We argue about ridiculous things."
Lopez to me is god. Style, technique, power. I was five feet away at Soen concert going nuts watching his power
Opeth are AWESOME! Opeth with Steven is DIVINE!!!!
Steven wearing a dillinger escape plan t-shirt is such a weird concept to me but hell yeah
Mike at 04:07 with the self check
What was the song that Mikael and Steven were recording vocals on?
EDIT: Found it. Master’s Apprentices. What a great song, really wish Steven’s solo at 4:58 made it in somehow
If it means anything, I sort of insert that solo on the song

I can't get tired of that Lopez bit...
4:34 Idk why this is so funny
It’s nice to see a bunch of amateur musicians getting together and doing their best. Keep at it boys you’ll get there.
Hey HELLO from El SALVADOR

Cien por ciento
Facil
“It’ll be as tight as a witch’s cleft” ☠️
I want a song called "the eternal fight" about the air-conditioned
04:57 to 05:50
idk why they didn't keep wilson's solo but that was beautiful
Maybe because he's not in the band, and that part didn't need a solo over it
@@shane727 i’m sure mikeal would have been more than happy to feature a guest solo from steven, i think the primary and most likely reason is just that it didn’t fit.
It strikes me as a very Trey Anastasio - esque solo which doesn't really fit the opeth vibe
@@gaugehoughton2403 I think it's more of a less is more situation. Like overcrowding that section with multiple elements would just be Overkill
Those Steven´s solos are divine
4:07
5:20 Steven Wilson channeling Trey Anastasio
"tight as a witch's cleft" Hahahahahahaha!
I loved deliverance and damnation, THEN I saw this and said "wait, the singer/guitar player from porcupine tree produced it? No wonder I love it so much"
Why there is no comment for 4:57?
Best part, there should be an extended version of this with Steven W. doing random stuff!
8:28 😂
4:06 LMAOO
Steven plays a really nice improvised solo around 4:53. I did a "cover" of it on my channel :-)
7:42 over what? Dishes?
🤣🤣🤣
Get you a relationship like Steven and Mikael's. It'll be perfect.
Haaaaaaahhaaaaa is that right?
Its so off , yeah hahahhaa
Lopez is simply superior to any successor...
Negative
Lopez always will be the "Opeth drummer"
He has soul and swing in his drumming. It breathes and feels human, and that's what I like.
why are ppl so salty about this, the new drummer is awesome
@@TheFbiFilesRepeat Axe is one of the most technically gifted drummers on the planet (and superior to Lopez in that area), but some people prefer Lopez's feel. Its all irrelevant now anyways, Lopez is not coming back, he has his own band.
Mikael is a fantastic musician and songwriter but his comments are often irritating (10:28) and arrogant.
You find it irritating and arrogant. I find it honest and neutral. Are you a drummer?
You can't really blame him though, most of us would be slightly arrogant if we could write even half of what he has. Genius.
I don't find any arrogance on his comments. Maybe you're a very thin skinned person.
