Place Opeth in the year 1969......

They should do a Pink Floyd cover, that would be awesome. I can just hear parents in 1969 saying this about Opeth, "Wait a minute, this sounds like rock and or roll." Little Rev Lovejoy for you.
 
It's funny you said that because the very long vocal line in Good Bye Blue Sky is like kind of similar to the vocals in the drapery falls . after walk me down again and guide me into , when he goes ahhh , yeah that part . It's pretty similar in structure . So I think Micke could handle Pink Floyd (Understatement of the century)
 
I would like to hear Opeth do a Yes or Genesis cover, something in that vein would sound really interesting. My mom likes Opeth and loves Genesis so that would be pretty cool...heh :p
As for if Opeth existing in 1969...I don't think that it would work, their lyric style dosn't fit to what was going on, it may be strange for that time period. The music if less heavy would be great for that time period.
 
Opeth could not exist in 1969 - they have too many influences from music which came after 1969.

Forgetting the last point of "influences" (although I agree with it), I think it would of been awesome. When Led Zeppelin hit the scenes in that year, they were so far ahead in the music curve, Opeth would have been compared with them. And to have 2 bands like that? Man, what a thought!:headbang:
 
though i dont like led zepplin that much, i think it would be really cool if opeth did a cover.....
 
yeah you wouldnt put it on an album, that has to be original stuff and it wouldnt fit in. i reckon on a mad compilation album...

Hell yeah... Opeth covering "Achilles' Last Stand" would rule.
 
What? I think a Zeppelin cover would be really...fun...ny.

OK, so maybe not...wait. Yes. It would rule all the other Zeppelin covers, OK _Transparent_? :p A Pink Floyd cover would be pretty trippy. I couldn't imagine it actually. It'd be done in all clean vocals. Like Remember Tomorrow. Mmm! That's a good one. And a Rush cover? Yeah, they can do The Trees seeing how they're all about the woods. ;)

Off the topic: I've been ALL ABOUT Orchid lately. I mean, I can't get it out of my tape deck in my car. I don't have the will to press eject, so that's it new home. :) And I can't stop playing Circle of The Tyrants at work.

Achilles Last Stand would be a great cover for any metal band. Do you think Steve Haris and Maiden liked this song or what. If Opeth were to do a yes cover I would say South side of the sky. Emperor should have covered close to the edge. The first 3 mins is so close to what they doing on anthems just clear and slowed down. I don't like the idea of Opeth covering Rush, Dream Theater can have em as far as I am concerned.
