"Genious"

[dorian gray]

yeah, so ive been listening to BWP for what? four years now? Every time i listened to Bleak, I would think, "that's funny how mike can change his voice like that. neat." Well, I was just listening to it on headphones and the strange idea just occured to me that the vocals are not actually mike - they're Steve Wilson's.
My excuse is that I haven't listened to Bleak since I started listening to PT a couple months ago and thus never really knew what SW sounded like.
so here's to: listening to one of your favorite songs for four years and not realizing there's a guest vocalist.

*Raises own can of beer in salute to Dorian*

 

[Shadows Skulk]

genius*

 

[deliverance]

oh wow, and i thought the thread was going to be about how you hate when people spell "genius" as genious. damn i'm disappointed jon.

edit: i thought it was mike for a long time too, until someone on here mentioned something about SW singing on it

 

[dorian gray]

haha! i put "genious" in quotes because i was quoting the genius that spelled it "genious", geniuses.
oh, and yeah, D1, i do hate it, but i thought moonie would delete a thread based on such.

How ingenious

How does Mike sing the chorus live then, I guess he just does his best SW impression

 

[Arnold Layne]

He just sings it like Mike............. Steve also plays the solo.

I heard Bleack live, I wasnt impressed by i guess it would be different if i was at the show and not listening to it on my computer.

Bleak is one of Opeth's best.

 

[Nico]

I still hate Bleak.

SW sing only parts of the chorus, Mike has parts too. (Sherlock)

[rissy]

Yes he does.

 

[Illnath]

I don't think that Opeth has made one bad song!!!!! Bleak is one of their best

 

[Dreadful]

Bleak definitely grabs the listener the first time around...long ago it was one of my favorites but I'm kinda sick of it now haha.
