I would first like to say Pink Floyd is my favorite band (along with Opeth), and to answer your question as Hail Eris! sais it is dedicated to Syd.

I see you have great taste in music. Before Opeth, Pink Floyd was on the pedestal of being the band I respected the most musically.

that's such a wonderful dedication that song...
"well you wore out your welcome with random precision"
brilliant.

pink floyd are perhaps my very favourite band.

"Piper at the gates of dawn" is a good example of Syd Barretts' ability as their main songwriter before Roger Waters had to more or less take over. David Gilmour was brought in because poor Syd was too fried from all the LSD he was taking to play his guitar.

Syd Barrett. (Yes, I know. Someone already responded and answered this quite some time ago...More than two years ago)

Also, wanted to add this: The last part of "Death Whispered a lullaby" (From 'Damnation') reminds me of the Pink Floyd song "Julia Dream" (from 'Relics'). Might Opeth have been influenced or inspired by this?

wow, no post from ggggggu about off topic discussions. thats a first.

Looks like they all answered. Great band. Funny that I decided to listen to "The Wall" for the first time in ages and I come here to see this question.

David Gilmour= guitaring God. After a big night out, I would lie in bed with 'shine on you crazy diamond'. Gilmour's guitar work literaly brought tears to my eyes and a shiver down my spine.

I still think 'The Final Cut' is one of the most depressing albums ever made, I always feel like shit after listining to it yet i always come back for more..

 

[MountainDweller]

Woah, didn't look at the date on the original post. I guess while we're on the subject, I'd like to mention the very Pink Floydian section in "A Fair Judgement". I've thought that from the first time I heard it, and I love that part of the song.

Maybe it's because the post was made years ago by someone who last posted in December 2002, before he was even here (unless he just had a username change). Who knows...most of all...who cares?

Most of Dark Side of the Moon is for Syd also. And of course, so is The Wall. In the middle of the Opeth song By the Pain I See in Others, Mikael sounds a lot like Gilmore vocally.

 

[Scourge of Malice]

I never thought of DSOTM being about Syd.. please explain

Pink Floyd is probably my number one all around favorite band. "Echoes" is my favorite song ever made. Its such an amazing song. That was a great era for the floyd

The Division Bell is about roger...

"On the day the wall came down, we threw the locks onto the ground. and with glasses high, we raised a cry for freedom had arrived"

 

[Sinistas]

God damn Floyd rule. I hear a lot of Floyd inspiration in Opeth.

 

[Fervisson]

Dark Side of the Moon is about everyday things that drive people to insanity over time. Small sections were inspired by Syd, but the album was not "about him." The Wall album/movie were also Syd-inspired, but not written for him. The Wall was kind of a mixture of Roger and Syd's life, mostly Roger's.

This is an old ass thread.

It's fun to listen to the influence of Pink Floyd in Opeth's music.
