Mikael...you ever thought about doing any vocals in Swedish?

[Cutter]

I was curious what some your tracks might sound like belted out in Swedish....

 

[YaYo]

In Sorskogen he sings in swedish, it sounds cool, i think it sounds like a far nicer language to sing, but maybe thats just coz i dont understand it. I do prefer to know what he's saying though!

 

[Cutter]

I'm wondering which language is stronger for Mikael? Maybe its easier to get certain points accross in english...or maybe, its just the fact that Opeths appeal to a wider audience would not be possible if sung in Swedish...not that I ever considered audience appeal a high priority on Opeths list...

 

[Cutter]

yeah...but Gemans an interesting language in that you could say 'Love, oh love, emotion yeah, love' and it may sound aggressive and angst ridden to your average, english speaking person...

 

[Ermz]

Yeah, German is more of an angry-sounding language. I mean who's heard the english version of 'Du Hast'? That just totally sucks....

Rammstein brings shame to the german language.

The vocabulary they use in their music is that of a 3 year old.

 

[Sullen Jester]

"Du, du hast, du hast mich"

It's all I can remember from Du Hast and it's was enough to not listen to it.

Agreed. Wonder if they ever thought that someone could actually understand what they are saying.

you hate
you hate me
you hate my face

Linkin Park, Korn and Limp Bizkit do a better job than these guys.
