Symphonic Opeth (?)

[CliffEmAll]

Waddaya think?......
I know it seems like everybody's doing it, but only few bands can actually make it work. Yes, Kansas, Deep Purple, Rainbow, and
Emerson,Lake, and (mother-fuckin') Palmer have all done incredible
orchestral albums.
I think OPETH could, definitely, pull it off.

I think Opeth could totally pull it off. But I think it would ruin their mood. The mood created on their cds is created naturally, and I think that is one of the things that makes them the best band in the world.

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

 

[svenske kocken]

Bleh. A symphonic Opeth would suck. Big time.

 

[phon1c]

Maybe he thinks symphonic means using keyboards.

It does not.

 

[Lord Chimp]

That is an exceptionally bad idea. However, I think it would be cool to hear an Opeth song with a cello.

 

[Sóti]

they should get yo yo ma

 

[ColdKingdom45]

I think it's an interesting idea, but not a whole CD. maybe just a few songs or something.

 

[IcemanJ256]

eh, like Lord Chimp said... maybe a Cello or a violin in a few small parts of a song, or one whole song... but "Symphonic Opeth" wouldnt seem like Opeth. There are other bands out there for that.

Svenske : Who the fuck is that in your sig man!!!!

[svenske kocken]

Well, that's me of course. No, I haven't the faintest idea. But the pic is a killer!

[CliffEmAll]

It was just a thought.
Great feedback. I just dig hearing my favorite groups do things like that and was wondering if anyone else thought the same.
Maybe in another ten years.........

Symphonic opeth would definitely suck, its unoriginal nowadays.

Bingo. Symphony background would totally ruin Opeth's sound, the bands that have made it work in the past have all had a pretty thin sound, so the orchestral parts really addded to the music. Opeth has an incredibly thick sound already, so adding orchestral parts to it would only take away from the music.

I prefer the acoustic interludes to symphonic (black metal) but if Opeth wants too....
