Will you ever become as great as Opeth?

[Nitronium Blood]

As many of you may know, I am a huge fan of Opeth.

-Do any of you have a plan to one day become as awesome as Opeth?

-What approach would you take to achieving such greatness and talent?

:Spin:

 

[Savoy Truffle]

This will be a classic thread...

 

[KingJaymz]

1) Practice guitar

2) Steal opeth riffs

 

[Kenneth R.]

how can you "plan" to be "as great as Opeth"? i *plan* to be as good as me.

 

[Stimuli]

I think its possible to one day be as good as Opeth... it seems more realistic than comparing yourself to Steve Vai... The strategy is to synthesis all the best parts of your influences and add yourself into them... It seems to me thats what Opeth has done...

also... I will get an amazing keyboard player named after a fruit...

 

[deliverance]

never

 

[Dreadful]

As long as write good songs and don't make boring ones.

 

[Dreadful]

(not that Opeth makes boring songs)

 

[RjBeals]

or.... you could sell your soul to satan.

 

[ViCyniC]

If you keep thinking about it then you'll never even come close. Don't create mental barriers.

I am already as great, or possibly even greater than Opeth.

...And introducing Mango on the keys...

'tis funnay, but to give credit where credit is due, it was Stimuli's idea. I just quoted him and laughed :Spin:

 

[Forest of Åsatrú]
