Well, "said artist" is obviously Opeth and they've proven themselves to be capable of writing quality songs in both standard and open tunings. Like Demon of the Fall for instance, I'd rank it up there as one of their bests and that's played in open tuning. The fact that anyone would prefer them to exclusively play in standard tuning is beyond me because the way I see it, that ultimately limits the possibilities of things they could write that just otherwise couldn't be achieved in that tuning.

Demon of the fall is NOT in an open tuning. It's in drop D. It means that the strings are tune to(In order from the big one to the small one) D A D G B E. Open D tuning is D A D F A D. It change everything. Especially the scale that you're using for soloing. The heavy song of GR are all in Open D tuning. The songs that are in drop D are Demon Of The Fall and Blackwater Park. Beside that the band always used Standar Tuning E A D G B E.

Cock.
Having read your reply to my post, and Hibernal Dream's, it's obvious you're just another fanboy who won't hear a word said against ANY part of Opeth's work. If this place was populated with cunts like you it would die - fan forums can only take so much of the "I love Opeth" shit, they need some sort of balance.
You're a fucking cock, learn to take other people's opinions into account before spouting your shite.

yawn. cop-out. let me give a recap of how much of a fanboy I am. a lot of the Orchid/Morningrise era was meandering, boring, monotonous, and badly arranged. especially Morningrise. My Arms, Your Hearse dominates. Still Life dominates. Blackwater Park dominates. Deliverance isn't worth buying. Damnation is decent. Ghost Reveries generally ranges from good to boring rubbish and would be my 2nd least favorite album to Deliverance. Deliverance and Ghost Reveries suffer from production so utterly sterile and lifeless that I find it hard to listen to it without becoming bored to tears shortly into it
I could honestly give a fuck less whether you trash Opeth or not. plenty of people do it and I sometimes agree with whatever point they might've made as long as it's an actual valid and reasonable point and not just shit slinging or sheer ignorance.
so let's look at your gem of a post
oh look, another mindless fucking dumbass metalhead that is so "tr00" and underground that he can't stand something to be "commercial" and "trendy" but then contradicts himself out of his own ignorance by demanding Opeth write contrived, forced music with an intent for it to sound like "older stuff", perhaps a My Arms, Your Hearse II. (sounds fucking commercial and trendy to me) yes, Opeth, force yourselves to write a 45 minute black metal song, just because you mentioned it once in an interview. who fucking cares that your creative process doesn't work like that - I'm an ignorant, selfish fan that knows jack shit about the band remember? try to make your music sound like something I want. don't make music with no boundaries. don't make music that's actually coming from an inspired heart. force a 45 minute black metal album. yes. you're a band increasing in fame and musicality. you've made it. yet somehow, all of the sudden, you don't know what's best for you.
you're a fucking ignorant dunce, just like hibernal

I really did write way too much so I don't blame you. I didn't even read over it before posting it. I don't really want to read it after the fact either. all I can hope is that in the midst of my teenage angst I made a point. but if I didn't that's ok too. I usually prefer to make nice, rounded off curves rather than points

p.s. I own Deliverance. you don't know where I stand now do you?
^Deliverance is a gr8 album with some solid tracks, only knobs like you can't appreciate its greatness, get a lyfe

Deliverance is a good album but probably the least good outa the more modern era albums, I don't include Orchid or morningrise in the comparison as I feel they had a whole different style to them..

To tell you the truth, before I even got into Opeth, I sat down and listened to nearly all of the cds (my friend had them all)
and I truly thought Orchid was right behind Still Life in greatness, then MAYH.
I'm also talking to anyone in general who's reading this and has 2nd thoughts about their older stuff:
How the fuck can you not like "The Apostle in Triumph" or "Twilight is my Robe?" or even "Night and the Silent Water? (i know its a fucking morningrise song, just bare with me here)" I urge you that if you already somehow like opeth and not like these songs, there's something totally wrong with you. Every single song off of Orchid is so outstanding that it blows my nuts knowing it came out nearly 11-12 years ago and it still sounds better than anything any of these shitty metal bands are coming out with. Now that's some mother-fucking-talent.
If Opeth made a 2nd Orchid sounding style cd id shit myself, it's quickly rising to my favorite album of all time, above still life. *GASP*

You dislike overconstructed, harder to swallow progressive metal? Once you realize the potency of song construction and amazing lyrics of their older stuff in comparison to their newer CDs (which im not saying is bad, just less of a reason to hate it) then you should have no problem having a blast when you listen to those albums. I don't understand people. The Black Rose Immortal has like 20 different change ups along with incredible riffing, solos, and tempo changes that makes blackwater park look like a filler track.
IMO. still <3 the BWP though

fine but you have to build it
edit: BRI is Opeth's worst song. To Bid You Farewell has always dominated. I've grown to like Orchid more than I used to
