News from the melloboat!!

You forget the guy on the right.... Reine Fiske... the best Psych/Folk guitarist of the world....

True, I didn't recognize him since THEY VERY SELDOM PLAY IN SWEDEN, hint-hint, and I was too shy to ask Paatos is on top of my non-metal-acts-to-see-list.

 

[kendoji]

Reine Fiske was there, excellent (I didn't know what he looked like actually)

 

[IamReptar]

Unless he lives in the Bay area, in which case, May 3rd would be the day he'd see them live.

Which is the case.

Our Dream Theatre show is on the 3rd

The clips of Comus on Youtube are fucking awesome. I had goosebumps pretty much the whole time. The clips of Drapery falls was amazing as well. Unbelievable tight as always. The clip of Nathalie, Axe and Mendez is fantastic as well. Also I want a Conan shirt haha.

After listening to the drapery....

They need to do some ironing out. More so Fred and Axe.

But it still raped.

 

[Mr. Bland]

How was Comus everyone? The video doesn't do them enough justice, hopefully they release a DVD for all this!

Yeah, Fred was pretty sloppy on the slide leads, Axe needs to step up a bit on the drums (at least for old Opeth) he sounded really good on the new song.

 

[affinityband]

His playing wasnt at all sloppy lmao. Also hate that people say that the new memembers need some ironing out because if someone told you it was peter and lopez playing you wouldnt know the fucking difference.

I didn't listen to this clip in particular, but really, its not at all hard to tell the difference between Axe and Lopez, for one, Axe pounds the shit out of his drums, not particularly dynamic, just loud, he also uses a very dry toned kit, very top drum head oriented snare sound. I am not starting a debate of who's better or worse, but seriously, don't think everyone cant tell because you cant.

 

[wadler]

but that's not exactly anything that needs ironing out, thats just a different sound. they might sound different in that regard, but in technical ability, anyone on here would be hard pressed to pick a difference. and its not as if axe should be mimicking lopez to the finest detail. opeth has a new drummer, get the fuck over it.

 

[Blackened Rainbow]

i found this one

 

[serenity_painted_death27]

I listened to the first minute and turned it off. I just can;t do it, I REALLY want to hold out until release day.

 

[Skrikmusik]

no clean vocals btw.

On the boat I talked to 2 people that knew the band and they had listened to the whole new album and they said that the brutal parts is even more brutal and the mello parts are more mello than before. I know that you probably just ment that there werent any clean vocals in the new song but I just took the opportunity to fill this in
And by the way...Melloboat kicked ass!!! One of the best trips in my life!

 

[HoursOfDebt]

i am seething with jealousy.
