Dan Swano is an Opeth rip-off[views:5034][posts:29]____________________________________________ [Feb 16,2007 4:07pm - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] I'm listening to the album, Moontower, and all I hear is Opeth. I thought I was listening to Opeth at one point and I had to check my iTunes to make sure. |

| __________________________________ [Feb 16,2007 4:19pm - Archaeon ""] Mikael did some singing on Crimson I believe |
| __________________________________ [Feb 16,2007 4:19pm - brian_dc ""] yeah...I mean. Opeth recorded with Dan Swano. You could say the same for Opeth and Porcupine Tree these days. |

| ___________________________________ [Feb 16,2007 4:46pm - DREADkill ""] swano is one of my favorite musicians. the guy writes great music, has a great voice, and can play the shit out of all kinds of instruments. he's one of the most creative metal musicians ever and doesn't rip anyone off. |

| ____________________________________________ [Feb 16,2007 5:13pm - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] I didn't say I didn't like Dan Swano. I agree that he is an amazing musician. I was merely making an observation about a similar sound these two bands share. |
| _____________________________ [Feb 16,2007 5:18pm - pam ""] WOW. Just wow. |
| ______________________________________________ [Feb 16,2007 5:19pm - theaccursedvokillist ""] actually you said "Dan Swano is an Opeth rip off" nothing about similar sound. |
| _____________________________ [Feb 16,2007 5:21pm - pam ""] Ken pronounces "Swano" really terribly. |
| ________________________________________ [Feb 16,2007 6:13pm - ClinicallyDead ""] I can't even put words how ignorant of a statement that was. Its almost as dumb as that kid who said Extreme Noise Terror was a bad Disrput. I love these kids. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 16,2007 6:18pm - anonymous ""] Fuckin' dolt... is Motorhead ripping off Panzerbastard? |

| ___________________________________________ [Feb 18,2007 7:56pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] Dan Swano is so underrated for his musical contributions. At least in this part of the world. Him and Peter Tatgren are both musical geniouses. I believe he also worked with Mikael Akerfeldt in Bloodbath (who fucking rule by the way.) Your are looking at a genre of music where a number of these like-minded bands have tremendous influence on eachother. Bands like Opeth, Katatonia, Green Carnation, Porcupine Tree, Diabolical Masquerade, and October Tide write with the same feeling at times but I believe they all have something different to offer. "Rip-off" is a term that gets thrown around with little conviction these days. |
| _____________________________________________ [Feb 22,2007 11:34pm - ConquerTheBaphomet ""] Like I said, I think my approach was off because I couldn't find a similar phrase for the one I mentioned. Dan Swano is amazing, I do agree. |
