Arnold can`t act either but his so fuckin MORE cooler than Helen Hunt.
I think Mikael's voice isn't that good on the first two albums. I remember the part in "Black rose immortal" where he just sings alone with no music and sounds pretty much out of tune to me, so there's one example!Originally posted by TheBigJones47
wow, i read all the posts from that little deadnight warrior dude... people like this are going to land me in jail someday, i swear it. "his pitch control is terrible and he has no vibrato"... unbelievable. if any of you have listened to a clean singing section of an Opeth song and heard Mike "miss" a note, please please please tell me where. i don't see (hear, rather) it happening. to suggest, like this little guy does, that he has bad technique is without a doubt the most foolhardy statement i've heard this month. and i'm in college, around college kids all day, so that's saying a LOT. i have no idea who he's listening to that he's mistaking for Opeth if he thinks the vocalist is not talented/misses notes/can't sing technically, etc. ... absolutely absurd.

i think that the problem here is a matter of taste...if people who enjoy blind guardian don't like growls, fuck 'em all...
there's any relationship between growls and fellings,...growls and clean voice can do it very well...
listen to cradle of filth's dusk and her embrace...the lyrics are so romantic and the way dani sings is perfect...very emotive!
I posted this because I wanted other Opeth fans to read it and have a good laugh. Why are you annoyed by it anyway? I am free to post anything anywhere I want.Originally posted by MacMoney
Why do you insist on posting such threads as this in a forum full of fanboys of the said band? Are you trying to get justification for your opinion or what? Because it certainly seems like that sicne this forum isn't really the best place for this kind of threads if you really want to hear objective judgements which would justify your opinion.
Personally, while I don't care for Opeth's later works, I do think that Åkerfeldt is quite good a singer. Perhaps not technically (don't know much about that) but his voice does fit into the songs.
