The Beatles and Opeth

[Scarlett Letterman]

So I'm listening to A Fair Judgement and its at the outro (you know after mikael goes "heeeeerrrrrrre") and my dad walks by and stops to listen. After it finishes he comments that it sounded like the Beatles - I Want You (shes so heavy). I couldn't imagine it at the time but after listening to the ending of it I see what he's saying. There not exact but there's similarities, the drums notably, its placement in the song etc. Its funny picturing ringo rocking out to that tune.

So could this have been an influence on AFJ you guys think?

Now what would make you think any band is influenced by The Beatles?

lol yeah yeah but this song in particular and these parts especially im saying, you witty bastard.

sure an obscure act from 30/40 years ago like the beatles wouldnt influence a straightforward death metal band like Opeth.

I think Atonement is a better reference to The Beatles influece. Direct ripoff of Ringo in that one.

I think the Beatles influenced Opeth in that sometimes Opeth manages to suck, although not very often... that is the Beatles influences poking out their slimy little head.

it only sounds like the Beatles because they did the most simple beats on the planet and therefore anything will sound similar because its all based on the same stuff.

wtf? Don't you mean Harrison?

 

[westknife]

I've probably said this 400 times since gr came out, but the vocal warbling in Atonement is from Blue Jay Way and the drum beat is from Tomorrow Never Knows

 

[Ten SiSi]

^Holy shit. Someone with some sense. I thought that as soon as I heard Atonement for the first time. Then I popped in Revolver just to make sure. It was the exact same beat, just at a little bit quicker tempo. So "lmao" to all those people who pretend to know about The Beatles, but really don't know a thing.

those are both good beatles songs, but atonement does not sound like either.

 

[Ten SiSi]

If you can't break down music any better than that, maybe you shouldn't be listening to The Beatles. Why don't you stick with your metal for a while.

 

[An Absent Friend]

Beatles's Ringo - Opeth's Atonement.
