If it were as good as AJFA but WITH bass this time I could see it. They were really ahead of their time with that album. I hear echoes of that in Opeth and other more modern metal these days, more that a decade later.
Yah, their great music was written when they lived with Anthrax or on a tour bus and Coor's Light was breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It's hard to have the same attitude when you're talking about caviar and champagne.
Heroin is not exactly conducive to metal. Now if he was a grunger I would expect some brilliant shit out of him because of that. Maybe if it was coke, hmm...I don't know about that. Cleaning up seemed to work out for Stevie Ray Vaughan, so maybe it will generate some creative energy. I hope so.
Heard it, it sucked!
I just couldn't believe a guitar tech didn't notice that Jaymz guitar was out. I've always though the early part of Seattle sounded kind of odd, but never until yesterday sat down and figured out why. Either Jaymz is sharp or Kirk is flat, but I'm pretty sure it's Jaymz.
Bad ass! Still, Opeth isn't the kind of band you can just listen to once and get it. I'm going to have to here it probably ten times before it really starts coming together.
I'm letting my fanship grow album by album. Actually I discovered the band live when they opened up for Amorphis. They were basically like the higher evolution of Amorphis, so I just thought is was about the coolest shit ever. Since I've been buying the records in order of release I can sort of feel like I've been with them since the beginning, which is unfortunately not the case.
