Actually, I've seen people of all kinds of different musical tastes (including pop) act as though "their musical tatste is on some higher plain of existence." A lot of people are just too focused on their own personal taste to understand how subjective it all is, and they can't grasp how someone...

Generally speaking, there is some truth there, but it's not an iron-clad argument at all. There are people who are more analytical with music and like more artistic music, but they don't all just automatically throw out all of the popular music too. There's popular music that annoys me to no...

Uh, maybe because it's, uh, better? Haha, just kidding. But in all seriousness, I myself definitely prefer Porcelain Heart over Mellotron Heart, even though I really like mellotrons. PH is just more interesting to me, I guess.

Lord, what was I smoking? :Smokin: <Bangs head against wall> Sorry about my little brain fart, but for some reason I was thinking you were referring to Creedence Clearwater Revival, and of course I couldn't think of any Opeth that sounds like CCR! I guess that's what I get for just...

Another Credence ballad? Hmmmm.... Which Opeth song do you think sounds like Credence?

How about a new style of music? They could try a cross between bluegrass and rap, or maybe hip-hop and polka. Or how about new age and speed metal? In all seriousness, though, the guys should simply go whatever direction they desire. The music will have more feeling if it's not contrived to...

Sort of. I'll move my head and/or tap my feet to the beat, but I don't all-out headbang or jump or mosh. No. There's nothing confusing about people having different approaches to enjoying a concert. Some people are more extroverted and energetic, while some are more introverted and calm. I...

Bridge Of Sighs is my pick, though I like the others too.

I, for one, like a LOT of bands/artists across a few different genres. They can't all be my #1, now can they? In actuality, I'm not 100% certain what my #1 band would be right now, but Opeth are great and definitely among my favorites. So, it's not that there's something wrong with Opeth, it's...

That would leave room for one 30 minute track. Cool!

Wow, skimming the last couple pages shows me how much of an old fart I am at a whopping 35!

I just went and listened back-to-back to both the studio and live versions of songs from the first 3 albums and The Roundhouse Tapes, and I have to say that it's not quite as cut and dry as I was thinking. While The Roundhouse Tapes is definitely EQ'd better and I prefer Axe over the drummer on...

Kinda like Penny Lane by the Beatles....

Though I'm a long-time Dream Theater fan, I have to also rank Gavin higher. His playing is very tasteful and precise.
