    What Metal Bands come from your town?

    Supreme Carnal Death Hammer come from my town... They are, of course, the greatest metal band to ever grace the earth. At least, that's what they tell me. Supreme Carnal Death Hammer

    Orchid and Morningrise are the worst Opeth albums.

    For me, it's the overall feel. The harmonies, the atmosphere, everything. I mean, listen to about 0:44-1:25 in The Twilight Is My Robe and tell me that does not destroy, for a section. It stands out with me as my favorite part in any song, ever. It just, overall, is my favorite time in...

    growling

    I couldn't tell you what your problem is, I never have it. I never really practice either. Going casually I can go for howers, pushing it I can go for 30m to 1h. Personally, I can do several different types of vocals. I can do the quiet growling stuff like Mikael just about any time, but...

    Windowpane on VH1's Surviving Nugent

    Well, happened to be watching Surviving Nugent today (because come on, people put into Nugent's world to survive? Can't miss that shit) when suddenly I hear Windowpane. Had quite a reaction to that. It's just before one of the times Nugent kicks someone off. Anyway, just a fun little thing I...

    Dan vs Steven

    Sorry Steve... Dan rocks my fuckin' world and his production and everything in the early days, tons of contribution or not, puts the later albums in the trash to me. Only Damnation really stands out in comparison, but they're entirely different in makeup and aren't quite up for comparison.

    What makes a good guitarist?

    Well, I think there are two kinds of "good" personally. Both are kind of connected, but in certain ways or both may be manifest in one person, for that matter. For one thing, a good technical proficiency goes a long way. Hearing 3 power chords played in different order 6 times a song for a...

    Opeth

    "no" ... for me it's: Orchid Still Life Morningrise The others I'm not really apt to place because I think they're all great but none stand out as a whole like those three do.

    Worst vocalists ever...

    Non metal: the guy from The Vines. That shit is Horrible. Metal: Symphony X's guy. Jesus dude, I can do better than that and I suck Hard. I don't know if this was a guy from the past or what, but it seems like it was on The Odyssey. I could be wrong, though. Oh yeah, and anyone that...

    The Moor

    Lyrically my favorite point in the track is, "In the pouring rain, nothing is the same." Very cool little piece of lyrics. The Moor was my favorite song overall for a long time. But, then I started getting into Orchid more, and The Twilight Is My Robe took over.

    Favourite opeth part ?

    The Twilight Is My Robe - 0:45 to 1:25, or so. Best part in any song, period... Opeth or not. Can't help but bang my head, so to speak.
