What's the documentary on the DVD like?

[ElectricWiz]

I haven't read any comment on this, but am more than a little curious to know. Good interviews? footage? etc.?

Do tell somebody...Us U.S. residents will be in the dark for awhile yet (though some say we've always been in the dark...)

 

[L0bster]

It's a nice documentary. The band members speaking of past and present, even a little bit of the future. Some cool recording footage. A little bit of BesserWeiset talk from Steven Wilson. All in all a pretty nice documentary.

 

[Staffan]

Yeah, it has a big focuse on the how they did damnation and deliverance, ie how mikael made the songs, a little bit on when they recorded the instruments, vocals solos, effects... hahahaha (tropical heat)

 

[hej]

I thought it was a cool documentary... and Mendez is so cute when he speaks english!

 

[osse87]

Do you get to see when they recorded the drums on the end of Deliverance?

 

[Neil-o-Mac]

Yep

 

[ggggggu]

coo?

 

[suislidE]

wow take that fucking picture off your sig you fag

 

[Judas Pissed]

wow take that fucking picture off your sig you fag

While I'm not a homophobe, I don't like seeing that pic all the time either...

 

[ggggggu]

How 'bout turning off sigs?

 

[Judas Pissed]

If I could be bothered finding it, I'm pretty sure there'd be something about inappropriate/offensive material in the conditions when you join.

 

[jester00]

yeah just take it off its not funny i find it lame too

 

[SculptedCold]

Someone might find the Opeth banner in your sig offensive. Who cares? Let the thing express itself. If you don't like it so much, turn sigs off or don't look at it. It's not as if your eyes are glued to it.

I find the documentary kind of cool. Yes, Méndez is quite cute when talking English, and so is López when he talks about the microphone story. I think there's a bit too much of Steven Wilson on it to be honest... They talk about the problems they had when recording both CDs (just like in the official web) and I hope the plans they have for the future are fulfilled... they talk about a concept black-metal album and they say they will have the material and lyrics much better prepared, leaving a bit of less room to improvisation.

 

[Judas Pissed]

I think it'll be good to see them record an album that isn't written, for the most part, in the studio in rushed conditions. I love all their albums but I'd like to see how different it would be if they spent more time writing them.

 

[Post_Scriptum]

That's really good news. Thanks guys.

 

[Scourge of Malice]

Why should we have to turn sigs off just because one asshole has one that everyone finds disgusting?

 

[BarronBlod]

The documentary is great. It's the first time I've seen Mendez and Lopez being interviewed (heavy on spanish-english ). And Mendez was wearing a Katatonia longsleeve I've never seen before. Cool. He also talked about being into a lot of music, including jazz! Lopez seemed to be inspired by various types of music, as well.

I found the studio sessions with Mr. Wilson and Mikael quite interesting too.

 

[jester00]

yes my sig is heaps offensive you dumbarse

 

[Thorax the Herdsman]

I've seen the butt fucking man machines sig so many times now I don't even notice it.
But yeah, the dvd documentary is cool, and prepare to be espec. impressed when Mike does the screaming bits in the studio
