Time for a simple question from me...
Do you think us crazed fans love opeth's music more than the band members themselves do?
I mean many people here seem to love every second of Opeth, me included... but as a band you are normally forced to compromise your interests so that everyone gets their input and its possible that not everyone was happy. Im certain mikael would love his music since he writes most of it as well as the lyrics, but i've even heard him say how he doesnt like the bass sound on morningrise (which many fans love.. ). What about the rest of the band members who don't get so much input into the songs?
And for the people in bands or songwriters out there... do you think other people could like your music better than you like it yourself?
Ive certainly written many many riffs that i like, that arent really 100% my music, and i can see how someone else would like them so much more than i do, which is weird. hm. And sometimes i write complex progressive songs but they just happen, they arent really calculated, and sometimes it takes me a long time to be able to sit down and actually listen to my own music (without analysing what i need to fix up) as a whole song.
so...
