The Forest Petition

[Yoda]

Bring on the forests. I'll sign.

 

[Nitronium Blood]

I want Opeth to do a video where they are acting tough 'in da hood'.

Think In Flames with the 'Touch of Red' video... but in 'da hood'. With homies in the background doing some weird East/West coast hand signals.

 

[Mercy/Severity]

Why in the world would an "old school" Black Metal fan (note, not an average Black Metal fan) listen to Opeth?

what the fuck? Believe it or not, people sometimes listen to music of different genres.

 

[Jon Snow]

Hardly the case or the point I'm trying to make.

Rather that it would be nice to see intelligent discussions in this forum as opposed to stupid threads like this.

Being divisive doesn't help make intelligent threads either. If you don't like the direction a thread is going in why not make posts to help move it in the 'intelligent' direction that you would like to see it go. It might not work all of time but I think it's more constructive than calling other people's threads stupid. That does nothing for anyone's cause. Basically, be the intelligent poster that you would like to see on this forum instead of complaining about how there aren't any. I don't mean to infer that you're not an intelligent poster but the condescending tone doesn't help your cause with a lot of people.

As if there'll be another video.....

 

[all_sins_undone]

I guarantee you the next record will be even lighter than GR was.

That doesn't mean anything, you have no proof, why do you even say it? Yeah, I respect your opinion, but you really have no basis for that statement.

Anyways, say what you want about Opeth's "new direction", but we still think a forest is the ideal setting for an Opeth video.

Think about R/HF. Tell me a forest wouldn't be a good setting for that...

If you think it's stupid, then do yourself a favor and don't post here. You don't have to tell everyone how stupid it is. It's obvious that other posters here do not think it's stupid.

You're pretty arrogant.

 

[artnoir]

some people just don't have any sense of humour...

 

[porcupine_wolfff]

No videos anymore...

...make a movie...in the forest!

 

[Braighs]

I can see it. Baying of the Hounds. Mikael running away from dogs and stuff...then he stumbles into a swamp (full of contorted trees)...Then he drowns....and comes back as a demonic creature.

or they could do a movie of Still Life...change the last song...have the last scene as a burning church...for the BM fans.

 

[Powers]

It's a question of budget really.

 

[The Baying Of The Leper]

More so, do you understand that there was an actual political and mythological philosophy behind Black Metal "forest themes"? No Black Metal fanatic would like "forest videos" unless it involves the Black Metal philosophy, that is the very point of these videos existing. They convey a deep spiritual philosophical beliefs, which were big parts of the Black Metal movement itself.

Maybe so, but I still don't see why any other band (like Opeth for example) can't film a video with a forest in it.

Besides Opeth look right at home out in nature. I think the forest idea is cool!

 

[Kenneth R.]

I vote for jungle theme.

jungle book.


I'm into the forest atmosphere too, but really any non-technological, developed, urban setting would be interesting for me. Anything not modern.

 

[Tubbs]

I'm not signing the petition until someone says it's gonna be a snowy forest!!!

 

[Braighs]

^ nah, has to be a foggy forest

 

[SacredReich]

The forests around the Carpathian mountains are basically a must-use I think.

 

[SacredReich]

I s'pose i need hard evidence for my case:

Imagine it at the darkest hour of night.

 

[annt]

^those are cool, but I think they have some decent scenery in their home country too...

 

[Braighs]

Well, I think fog suites Opeth. And you can always depend on the Smoky Mountains to be...smoky. so...

 

[Tubbs]

OMG that's....that's!!!.........INCREDIBLE!!!
