Man, fuck Roadrunner

I just got a sampler CD and Ghost of Perdition is in it, but it's edited down to 6:45. As if the Grand Conjuration video wasn't enough... how is someone supposed to "sample" Opeth's music when they butcher the hell out of it? If they have a problem with long songs, they shouldn't have signed Opeth.

6:45 IS a long song.

6:45 IS a long song.

Not compared to 10:29, but I guess it wasn't possible to edit it any more than 6:45.

I cant really see what they would have cut out, except the very end. Unlike TGC , which is very repetitive so easily cut down.

 

[soundave]

Yes, enlighten us: what did they cut out?

 

[FRUGiHOYi]

A bunch of stuff... I don't feel like making a report on it, but I can upload it somewhere if you want to listen.

its a sampler people. like anyone who didnt like those first 6 minutes is really going to need the extra 4.

I do think they needlessly cut out some lines from TGC that couldve been left in there making teh video edit only like...10 seconds longer but now having basically all the lyrical content.


And I'm kinda with NFU. Seriously, what did you expect on a sampler? they want to have enough time left on the disc to promote other bands on their label, so why would they cram in a full 10-11 minute song?

To give the listener a proper idea of what Opeth is about?

The Drapery Falls (Edit) I found on Kerrang's issue 844 CD freebie is the best CD I ever bought, the song that introduced me to Opeths Genius.

The edit fades out during the twin guitars before leading to Mike's first death growls on this song...

I was quite suprised by this vocal style when I bought Blackwater Park as this was the CD "The Drapery Falls" hails from as you all know.

Wonderful stuff.

[dcat]

The best part is the second verse where Mike sings, and guide me into AAAhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh etc instead of Pain hehe, imho of course

I'm just interested in what whoever edited it thought was not as important. I have the edited TGC and I just think it's interesting to hear. I couldn't care less that RR is releasing edited stuff. It happens. It reminds me of when they make a movie of a great book. The movie doesn't change the fact that the book still exists. The edited version of GoP doesn't alter the album version.
