Is opeth your favorite band????

[myra]

I don't really have a favorite band anymore, just several favorite bands.

Opeth, Fear Factory, Devin Townsend Band, Strapping Young Lad, The Gathering (old and new, though I tend to like the new stuff more), Type O Negative, Soundgarden, Pantera, many more.

why do people like you assume that just because someone downloads music, they don't buy any?

I reckon if you got money you should always buy, at least for the bands you love. If it helps anyone on the moral dilemma the band gets only royalties from a CD but the money goes directly in their pocket when you go see the gig.

i like all those bands except for a couple i don't know

Opeth is my favorite, closely followed by Korn, who were my favorite for many years.

Lol, you're kidding, right?

I'd have to say Opeth, Death, Moonsorrow or Agalloch

Lol, you're kidding, right?

I know for a fact that FRUGiHOYi isn't kidding. It's not a big deal, I mean srsly, who cares?

TWIN ZERO

Is the new Twin Zero good? I don't have it yet. How does it hold up to 'Monolith'?

Let me know whether I should get it or not, I think I'm in need of a Karl Middleton fix

 

[sgnl05]

The new twin zero album is pretty good, different from monolith tho, it's more song based rather than a kinda concept album. it's defo worth getting. Karl middleton is a quality singer. I miss earthtone9. Arc'tan'gent was a stunning album and the e.p. after that was good 2, pity they chucked it

 

[Liquid Diamonds]

I miss earthtone9. Arc'tan'gent was a stunning album and the e.p. after that was good 2, pity they chucked it

I think the 3 new songs on the 'Omega' EP were 3 of the best earthtone9 ever wrote. What makes it worse is that they were all recorded with a new album in mind, before they decided to call it a day.

On the basis of those songs, that final album would have been an absolute stunner. Really something special. Much as I like Karl's recent projects (I liked the Blueprint also), they haven't quite measured up to his last 2 efforts with earthtone9.

Still, cheers for the recommendation

Opeth would definetly be in ma top 5, some of those awesome jazz bands like Trio Toykeat ( insaNe retro-swedish-classical-prog-jazz), chick corea, zeppelin then probably opeth and Tool for me

Opeth are the best live band for a quality performance though...thats a fact.

 

[dwoakee]

Opeth is currently my favorite band, and probably will remain so for some time. They really changed my way of musical perception so profoundly that I have difficulties now enjoying the regular "intro-verse-chorus-bridge-chorus-finale" song structure of todays popular music.

I tried out tool recently, I like there sound pretty much, but it still bores me a bit.

Last faves before Opeth where Katatonia & Death. All time faves also include Björk, Midnight Oil, Jethro Tull, Metallica, Skyclad and Manowar. (The latter is ridiculous, I know, but I can't help it.)

Oh. And, of course, Miles Davis and Wayne Shorter. But that's another story.

 

[advent-childx]

oh, eveyone has a soft spot for manowar lol..even if they wont admit it..hey anyone here like gojira and necrophagist aswell?

 

[Astrum]

Opeth? Favorite band? no.

 

[Tubbs]

Opeth? Favorite band? no.

So... instead of clogging up the thread with with an attempt to raise your post count, can you explain what your favorite/favorites are?

 

[SethCohen]

opeth is probably my fav at the moment i love GR and i can't stop playing eternal soul torture its has riffs from other opeth songs if you have a good listening ear you will notice

 

[advent-childx]

hope leaves is my fave song by opeth since its the first one i ever did hear!

 

[in_absentia]

dude your sig is pretty full on.

 

[requiem]

No, not my favourite, but they're up there somewhere in my top 15 or so... This sounds a little harsh, but I love a lot of bands hahaha

 

[cliffburton615]

oh, eveyone has a soft spot for manowar lol..even if they wont admit it..hey anyone here like gojira and necrophagist aswell?

Gojira and necrophagist are both excellent bands. Powerful live aswell.
Caught both within 2 hours at Summer breeze this year.

Advanced Corpse Tumor solo is top class.

 

[Don Corleone]

No, not my favourite, but they're up there somewhere in my top 15 or so... This sounds a little harsh, but I love a lot of bands hahaha
