as for opeth, we have played with them and know the guys a bit. they are talented lads, but really nothing revolutionary. they would be the first to admit it.

the alumnus said:hmmm, three people singing different vocals at one and making a chord. and how is this revolutionary? are you saying chords were never sung vocally before the beatles? ockeghem might have something to say about that. if you want revolutionary vocal music, try palestrina. the beatles weren't revolutionary musically, even for the 60's. if you want something experimental and ground breaking, try penderecki.

ah, here we have the most ignorant statement on the entire site. i never said opeth were revolutionary, in fact i said quite the opposite when i compared them to schnittke.pagan2002 said:this is the single stupidest post i have seen on the entire site for a long time. sorry mate, no offence, but dont talk about stuff you just dont understand. the beatles wrote some profound stuff. check out the lyrics to across the universe. it might go right over your head.

the alumnus said:if the beatles were only as popular as link wray or dick dale, they wouldn't be considered "revolutionary" by anyone's standards and we wouldn't be having this discussion. and no, offense was taken as offense was clearly intended. i know more than i care to about the beatles, and i understand them perfectly well, undoubtedly better than you do.
1.revolutionary in what sense? revolutionary in terms of popularity and merchandising yes.Mariner said:1. the were revolutionary eh... not?
2. you dont know. like about the lyrics.(somewhere else i yer post, ive deleted that section) i rather prefer easy to understand lyrics which are making a lot of sense instead of some poetic whining about weeping willows at the dark pool.
3. question. why knowing a lot of the beatles when youre not respecting them at all? and how you know you know more then pagan2002?
I sincerely hope you dont feel Opeths lyrics are incredibly profound either...the alumnus said:as for the beatles lyrics, they are most banal. they began their career writing what would be considered bad middle school poetry, with such meaningless drivel as, "love love me do, you know i love you, so please love me do". later they wrote songs about how they sought shallow drug highs and instant physical gratification like "lucy in the sky with diamonds". of course it shouldn't be surprising, coming from a poets who wrote such pedestrian lines as "take a sad song and make it better", as if there is something wrong in expressing sorrow in music.
