You're making it sound like we speak as a collective whole or something. What sort of responses do you expect when you come here, actively attacking, not even validly criticising the DVD.
Okay, "Lamentations" was fucking boring, I sold my copy on eBay two weeks after wasting money on it. Like Mikael says on it, Opeth are a heavy band (*cough*).
They aren't all heavy, and have always been about the dynamic between soft/aggresive. When Mike says they are a heavy band, that's true, but that only holds true for their general label as a 'metal' band, and 'heavy' is generally what characterizes one. They are hardly comparable to Nile in that respect. What if he reffered to them as a 'soft' band? That would be true also, but when you hear the majority of the catalogue, you'd feel a bit cheated by the claim.
Having said that, where's the issue? They play a whole 'heavy' set right after the entirety of Damnation. Was it boring for you simply because the material was all post-Still Life?
So why force this mellow crap on us?
They wrote it, and the main aim was to promote Damnation alongside Deliverance. They aren't forcing anything.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, apparently it's because of a label change or some shite like that, so does that mean we will NEVER, EVER (ever) get a DVD with live versions of "Demon Of The Fall" etc on it? For fuck sake, why play all of "Damnation"? It's just boring and totally unrepresentative of the band. At least play the fucking "Deliverance" album!!
Depends on how their new label will handle things. Whether we will even see a second DVD is yet to be announced, much less what'll be on it. Damnation boring? Subjective. Totally unrepresentative of the band? Hardly. Those parts could easily have been put into Deliverance. They're the same kind of mellow parts we've been seeing from Opeth for years, except wrapped up in more standard song-structures, with some backing mellotron added. Along with that, they played 3 Deliverance tracks. 3/5 isn't exactly bad, especially since the last two spots were freed so that they could play tracks from Blackwater Park. You're essentially getting a heavy set that rivals the mellow set in length. I really don't understand what you're complaining about.
Mikael, get it sorted mate - give us a good, HEAVY, live performance.
I personally thought they gave one in the second set.
Oh, BTW, if anyone wants to see what I'm talking about - buy the new DVD "Night of the Apocalypse" by the mighty VADER - it's utterly fantastic, just like I'd hoped "Lamentations" would be.
Yes, how dare Mike not drop those guitars to Bb, trigger Lopez up, and do reinditions of all their classics at 240BPM. That's so damned uncharacteristic of him.
but im pretty sure that Moonlapse doesnt like having grown men putting their lips on his ass so stop trying.
