If you were to ever perform an Opeth song...

[Ermz]

At a school play, talent show, local bar, local venue or if you ARE going to perform one, what will it be?

For me... Eternal Soul Torture ...

 

[KielbasaSausage]

... why?

 

[Genocidal]

Deliverance, The Leper Affinity, The Drapery Falls, Demon of the Fall. Perfect setlist, even if only one or two could be used.

Because it was played live when it was recorded and it very RAW and moshable. Now if someone were to play it live... perfect crowd response/moshing.

 

[ProgMetalFan]

Benighted

 

[YourFuneral]

Advent... I love that song... If the crowd doesn't like it, they'd just have to deal with it, for I don't care...

 

[Bereaved]

My bands is going to cover The Night And the Silent Water

 

[Fifth_Horseman]

Probably Demon Of The Fall...

... I mean we all know how that song pumps you up.

 

[Wolfenchild]

Godhead's Lament

 

[Obyeybyeogone]

The Moor

 

[R.I.P.2]

The Night And The Silent Water.

 

[opethpainter]

i've tabbed some acoustic songs...

so, with some help, i would play:

harvest
benighted
credence
patterns in the ivy 2
still day beneath the sun

face of melinda is harder... don't think someone [except for opeth] will ever be able to play it...

HAH, don't be stupid.

I've thought about this before and some songs would be:

Deliverence
A fair judgement
The leper affinity
Bleak
Harvest
Benighted
Moonlapse vertigo

 

[estimate]

Not that I'll ever be able to play any of their songs, but if I had the skills, I'll probably go for A Fair Judgement. Depends a bit on the audience as well :/

 

[Jeremy]

Most Opeth songs aren't hard to play... but they're nearly impossible to tab. Face of Melinda is one of them....
I'd do Bleak...

Thats what I would do
That or The Drapery Falls

\m/

 

[Nico16]

Serenity Painted Death.

 

[Meuterei]

Hmm... either Wreath or Moonlapse Vertigo, probably. Those are the only ones I think I could do justice.

 

[Fidel Castrato]

Well, if I was doing it for a talent show I know most people would hate to listen to an Opeth song that's like 12 minutes long that they aren't familiar with... they'd probably think it's really boring. So, I'd probably do something like The Drapery Falls... that song has some choruses and stuff that would keep people interested. Or I could just say fuck you and do Advent.
