That's just fucking ludicrous. Don't be so naive. Just because Orion is some sort of cult-metal classic doesn't mean that we are only voting against it on principle. Anyhow, you're on an Opeth forum, we're fans for a reason; put two and two together.wwallinga said:I told you - it's because people are checking out the thread, seeing that it's Opeth vs. Metallica, and voting against Metallica on principle. My guess is that most people on this board would rather listen to Mikael farting into a microphone then have Lars show up at their house.

Justin S. said:Epilogue wins without question in my mind. Orion, like every Metallica song, is ridiculously overated due to the bands "legendary" status during the mid and late 80's. I found an accurate tab of it and played along and was amazed at how bad it is. The boring power crunch is bad enough but the solo is fucking terrible! How can you listen to that and not see that Mikes soloing is indescribably better- 4 minute jams included.

exactly!, this poll doesn't make any sense....trickpony1616 said:epilogue was not meant to break metal barriers, it was to end an album.. you're trying to compare two songs that were made with different purposes.
opeth > metallica
period
bangadrian said:why would a tab of the song change your opinion of it? easy to play doesn't = bad. maybe it's not your favorite song in the world, but from an objective point of view it is at least a decent song. regardless of the magnificent scale of influence it had over bands today. like i heard of this one band today that is pretty influenced by early metallica. i forgot their name, i think it was like... opeth or something.
