Who is better...

[Metal88]

And by the way, tho Akerfeldt is a fabulous musician, comparing him to Dan is like Comparing a piece of torn off garbage bag and duct tape to a fresh trojan condem.

I just got Crimson, while it sounds really good, and Swanö has some very.... ah shit nevermind he rules

I still think Yaroslav is better

You'll notice on this thread, Dan getting credit with being versatile. My friend, you have not even hit the tip of the ice berg with these 3 songs. Some on here will tell you they are 3 of his best, I would say 3 of his worst. This just goes to show how diverse and incredible he is. If you want to get into Dan quickly, you have to get "Crimson" the rest of Edge of Sanity will take a tad longer to get into, but Crimson you will see right away the God-like talent Dan possesses. Then go get "At the end of the bridge" from his UNICORN project to see why he is so special with his versatility. Oh yeah, Moontower gives you the most different angles of him at once. Get any song off of it except "creating illusions" the only weak track.

Exactly! Crimson will blew you away! Another good Unicorn song is 'Hiding Again'.

How can you leave out Black Tears, Velvet Dreams, Blood Colored and Elegy by Edge of Sanity?

Dan rules!

I was just suggesting some songs off the of my head, this was by no means a complete list. And while Black Tears is a different type of track for Dan, I really don't think it's among his best.

Yes.

I have a definite preference for Dan Swanö myself. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't have gotten into Opeth and Mikael Åkerfeldt anyway.

Sorskogen! Let's hear some more goddamn Sorskogen! I know Dan recorded that and played all of the instruments that Mikael didn't... aside from that, though, I agree. I'd like to see the Swedish uber-metalband that is Bloodbath realign a little and do a prog superproject.

Throw Dan, Mikael, and maybe some other guys like Vintersorg, or perhaps even HevyDevy Townsend into a studio, lock them in there, and tell them that they can't come out until they've recorded the coolest prog metal album ever. That's what I'd like to see.

As for who is better, I think they'd probably say each other, but I give Dan a little more credit when he says Mikael is better. Dan has openly said that Opeth is what he wishes his metal could sound like.

Dan Swanö by a mile!

 

[Manes]

akerfeldt

 

[Stinkfist]

Akerfeldt. I don't like Dan's growls at all.

 

[Lutz]

Swanö for sure.
Åkerfledt has very good growls but eek, his clean singing is bad.

 

[Demonspell]

I think Swano and Akerfeldt alone would be enough to produce the greatest Swedish prog album ever...and I agree, I would love to see an official Sorskogen release.

 

[Warmaster]

Hell, what a question! What a difficult question, because i like them both.

But i think Dan is more versatile and i can't decide who is the better musician.

Yeah, a dream is a new project of Dan and Mikael (Maybe together with Peter Taegtgren and Quorthon).

 

[Murder-me-clean]

They are very good musicians!And Peter T. (Hypocrisy,pain,etc.) to!
