and speaking of emotional music , i just whacked on john martyns solid air cd. Someone should have played that to opeth so the'yd know what a 70s acoustic rock album should sound like

Its pretty dull tho, It just proved to me what i guessed before, they write good music but they aint great songwriters.

But I just don't get it: if they write good music, how can it be they're not good songwriters? For me the two are basically the same.
 
i know a lot of good musicians, but the ability to write memorable songs is completely different to that. Thats why the distinction between writers and performers existed up till the modern era. I mean, sinatra was a great singer but i bet he never wrote a decent song.

That's fair enough but you didn't say first that they were good musicians but that they write good music but not good songs.
 
fucking pedants :lol:

fair nuff boss, but I think theres a difference between good music and a good song, good songs are'nt always great musically and vice versa


Actually shaggit, im wrong. I'm completely and utterly wrong. Mea mudderfuking Culpa. Opeth are great. Opeth are fanfuckingtastic. Opeth are bleedin rapid. Opeth write amazing songs. each time . every time. :ill: :ill: :ill:

opeth are making enjoyable music for many people. so yaya whatever......

And you watcha yo mouth you calla me scumbag :(
