I don't know how you can even attempt to compare those two bands together. They are so different.

What is the fucking deal with the idiotic threads?
Bodom suck. Kill yourself if you think otherwise.

FUCKIN' YAAAAAARRRRRRRRR!
I hate Pink Floyd......
But I like Opeth, esp. 'My Arms, Your Hearse'. The Celtic Frost cover rocks! But so does the rest.........I have moshed while seeing Opeth live and I sure as hell wasn't alone....It rocked.
So stuff your opinion wherever you want to, I like the lot!

COB are a fucking great band but are in a totally different place to opeth. but for argument sake i think COB are less inovative with their ideas and in a general statement about all their tracks. Opeth as a whole seems alot more interesting i mean every instrument has its own little thing going on which adds to the their songs greatly

Personally I think COB is more of a band that appeals to musicians, because of the compositions, solos and different styles used.
To me Opeth appeals more to the artistic type metal head. I only like a few songs of opeth because the songs are very chord based, which isn't really my thing.
I think everyone can agree though that Opeth and COB are very very talented bands and even if you don't like one of them. I would hope you can respect their skill and talent.

First of all, these diehard Opeth fans need to stop putting this band on some glorious pedistal...its damn fine if u like them more than COB, but some of the commects made are quite ignorant. Also, I love how some of you guys try to make it sound as if Opeth are better musicians than the guys of COB just because of the way Opeth writes...also untrue. Beyond the fact that Alexi, Roope and Janne have more technical ability and the fact that they can compose there songs by using theoretical knowledge that they have give them a plus in this department. Now Opeth (I know this doesnt mean that Bodoms music is better.. but I have just got this vibe that people think that Opeth has the best musicians) doesnt know anything about what they write (guitar.com interview video with the guys playing) and when asked to do stuff all they really do is strum these acoustic chords which are neat but get boring while just calling it "a chord up the neck"). Anyways, after that rant, I still think Opeth is good stuff...a little boring to me..and yes I do like COB more...and this wasnt directed toward everyone here but more toward the starting poster...anyways...nice day all...stay heavy 
"Beyond the fact that Alexi, Roope and Janne have more technical ability and the fact that they can compose there"
my bad...there should be their...for some reason a little bad spelling pisses people off on boards..

Well I cant comprehend how someone can consider bodom boring...but yeah as you said..to each their own. The reason I find opeth boring is because the songs just carry out way too long. Not saying I don't like long songs but the constant acoustic strumming and just chord strumming in general will only grab my attention for so long. I like complex neo classical guitar solos with awesome classical keyboard melodies with cool heavy riffs...not to mention I'm a shred guitarist so I love listening to COB and their music just does it for me..and don't get me wrong btw..there are plenty of Opeth songs I DO enjoy...but a lot of the songs in general for me can just get kind of boring...anyways, you guys probably want me to stop ranting here so I'll be heavy and as always...drink beer and stay heavyAllWithinMyMonster said:

Well, one point you are missing here is that "technical ability" doesnt necessarily encompass all that is being a musician. If you ask me, being able to compose a good song, and write substantial and meaningful material is what makes a truly great musician/artist. To me bodom seems more dependant on having flashy parts and displaying technical prowess, than actually trying to achieve anything really special musically. Im not a bodom fan myself, but i appreciate the somethingwild and hatebreeder albums for what they are i guess...but their new stuff seems pretty childish sounding to me, no offense.
The point is, theres different defenitions, interpretations and ways to go about being a "musician". In other words...malmsteen could be considered a great musician...and so could bob dylan. know what i mean?
