not gonna happen...yeh....but i seem to be the only one who likes the idea. i mean if you really work on it it could be really amazing....but maybe it's just because i really music from the old masters as liszt, bach, debussy, grieg (sp?) etc...

How would using strings and woodwinds and brass and stuff be less natural than electric guitars with distortion?

Yeah little misunderstanding...I meant natural as in using instruments that they have always used.

hu? am confused now!

Well if they (Opeth) were to attempt such a project, it would, definitely
have to be new material.
Not like Metallica, who bastard-ized some classic songs on that "S+M"
fiasco (The only exception being "Call of Ktulu").

pretty

 

[diospada]

agreed!!!!!!!

I liked S&M quite a lot though, and after its release we got a tour full of classic metallicasongs with the FULL version of Master of Puppets

about Opeth doing symphonic arrangements. it would be a weird choice if they do so, because they never used any atmospheric keyboards or sth (I'm not too sure about it; but i dont think they ever did)

Mikael has already said in interviews that the idea of using anything other than a little bit of mellotron is completely out of the question.

Sorry to burst yer bubble.

Opeth with an orchestra? I don't think this could be done without compromising their delicate melodicism, although I'm sure a short violin or cello part on either an acoustic or prog-leaning composition would produce intriguing results...

I'm sure if they did it on a small scale it would work ok...
