[Katatonic89]

Yeah that's the whole song riiiiite?!!!

 

[AdventRising]

no this was the tease

 

[N-MAYH]

wtf is with opeth fans. they can't clap on time for shit

 

[opeth8]

wtf is with opeth fans. they can't clap on time for shit

This is the case with all bands.

 

[billydheyhey]

Yes, I would love to see that song live, too. I think Hessian Peel and The Lotus Eater are the top two songs off Watershed.

It was just that one guy at the beginning hahaha.

 

[mexicola]

People clapping out of time should be shot.

 

[The Porcelain Eater]

People clapping out of time should be shot.

There probably wouldn't be many people left afterwards.

 

[FRUGiHOYi]

That song kind of sucks.

 

[N-MAYH]

This is the case with all bands.

some yeah, but most shows i've been to the people clapped on time, except for at opeth shows, pretty much anyone who claps along to a soft part should be shot anyways, twice if they're not on time which happens all the time, at any show ive seen it all people clapping were off, as well as in pretty much any live opeth vid the people can't clap on time.

 

[Silent Dance With Death]

The most epic Opeth clapping has to be when they played Demon, and Per initiated a clapping during the first acoustic bit.

Of course, everyone was in time because they were following Per but holy shit was that badass.

Staying on-topic, Hessian Peel would be lovely to hear live. My question is, how would they recreate the backward vocals part?

 

[Wander]

^Mikael just has to sing backwards, what's difficult with that?

 

[Silent Dance With Death]

Yeah but then it would just sound like him singing backwards. On the album it sounds cool because Mikael backmasked the vocal track.

Oh well.

 

[FRUGiHOYi]

^ He does it on the DVD that came with the special edition and it sounds good. The song still pretty much sucks IMHO though.

hessian peel sucks?

I'm not here to insult you and your opinion but could you please elaborate that statement, I thought everyone more or less liked hessian peel - I could never imagine someone thinking it sucks.

 

[Godhead59]

My favorite off Watershed. Whenever they come here again, I'd love to see them play this one.

The very beginning is cool enough, but when it goes into that little diddy, it just sounds way too happy and I hate the lyrics (will the children cry, etc). After that, it gets really cool but then halfway through the song that heavy part comes out of nowhere and I feel it's totally out of place, like Mr. Å didn't even try to make a good transition.
