Mikael Akerfeldt vs. Dan Swano

[westknadrian]

who is the better metal craftsman? i mean, mikael has all those Opeth albums, but Swano has some great stuff as well! it's a tough call...

 

[lottovoitto]

Definetly Mikael... Better songwriter, vocalist and guitarplayer...

 

[Tubbs]

Personally I like Swanö better, mostly because of all the projects he's involved in.

I put not sure anyway. Uhh

 

[uponanoakenthrone]

i dont really think there is any room for comparison.

they are both masterminds in their own way

 

[tchocky]

As much as I love everything that Dan's done, I've got to give this to Mike as the music he writes speaks out to me more.

 

[Deadlift]

I wonder what the result will be when posted on the Opeth forum....

 

[annt]

westknadrian is obviously sick of this forum. So why are you on here anyway?

 

[Triton]

Mike, cause the only Swano stuff I've heard is EoS, but compare Black Rose Immortal to Crimson/Crimson II, I'd pick BRI.

 

[Tubbs]

Lmao Crimson 1 and 2 both own BRI

edit: ..oops sorry forgot to say "IMO" in all capital letters at the end of the sentence.

 

[King_Crimson]

Swanö

Meh it's probably cause I'm a lot more used to Opeth than EoS. I just discovered Crimson 2 weeks ago. However I'm certain that I'll like Mike's vocals better even if I do start listening to EoS more.

 

[BloodSword]

A difficult task to compare 2 of the most brilliant musicians walking this planet. Should have been; which musician connects to you the best? Versus this and versus that? Fuck it's music man, not a fucking boxing match.

Ah. Personally I liked Crimson 1 better than 2 (slightly), so you should probably check that one out.

 

[Triton]

Yus sirs.

 

[Kenneth R.]

Could not choose. They are indeed probably the two greatest masterminds in metal.

 

[Selkie]

how many listenable albums does the swano dude have?

 

[all_sins_undone]

2, crimson 1 and 2

 

[Tumn]

2, crimson 1 and 2

Wrong

 

[Kenneth R.]

how many listenable albums does the swano dude have?

Point of contention: More than Mikael does... but Mikael's are damn fine as well, hence choice impossible.
