Opeth to cover Alice in Chains for new album[views:22314][posts:40]______________________________ [Feb 5,2008 10:37am - Yeti ""] http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermo....aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=89988 i've always thought that they could do an awesome cover of an AIC song. i thought an acoustic version of "Nutshell" would be incredible, but "Would?" is going to be awesome. |
| ______________________________ [Feb 5,2008 10:46am - Yeti ""] i can't wait to hear this album. apparently there are blast beats. that would be a first. hopefully that addition of Martin Axenrot on drums will bring a much more aggressive sound. |
| ____________________________________ [Feb 5,2008 10:57am - immortal13 ""] Nice. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 5,2008 11:19am - brandon nli ""] Yea i always wished opeth would speed things up a bit. |
| _________________________________________________ [Feb 5,2008 11:20am - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] god, this band was terrible at the NEHMF a few years back. I can't digest anything they write; I have no interest in hearing anything new. Garbage. |
| ___________________________________ [Feb 5,2008 11:45am - dreadkill ""] this album is going to rule. |
| ______________________________ [Feb 5,2008 12:45pm - Yeti ""] what sold me was Mikael Akerfeldt saying he doesn't think a lot of people are going to like it. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 5,2008 12:49pm - sxealex ""] they are really boring live... so is amorphis... I saw em the same night and almost fell asleep. But they are both ok in my book. |
| ______________________________ [Feb 5,2008 12:50pm - Yeti ""] i guess you have to be a diehard fan to love Opeth live. i can understand why it would bore people. |
| ____________________________ [Feb 5,2008 1:01pm - pam ""] Awesome! I love slow Opeth. And they are boring live. 10 minute songs live usually are. I've never seen Amorphis live, but everyone I know who did said they were atrocious. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 5,2008 8:52pm - Mr. Moonlight ""] I think Opeth are only boring live to people who would consider themselves death metal fans before they would consider themselves music fans. Sometimes when I'm at one of their shows I'll just close my eyes and let the music do the talking. |
| _________________________________ [Feb 5,2008 9:37pm - Dankill ""] I like seeing Opeth live. It's just a music experience. |
| __________________________________ [Feb 5,2008 10:24pm - ScArial ""] Opeth is Great music, But they are boring live. Good shit, Boing live. |
| __________________________________ [Feb 5,2008 10:39pm - archaeon ""] I don't really get what people expect them to do live, they can't run around like a bunch of douchebags. I've seen way worse bands live. |
| ________________________________ [Feb 5,2008 10:59pm - trees ""] covering Alice in Chains is cool. I hope Opeth don't gay it up. |

| ________________________________ [Feb 5,2008 11:18pm - NIGGER ""] THE SOUND OF GRUNGE WAS THE SOUND OF YOUNG WHITE MEN CUTTING THEIR BALLS OFF YOU'RE EMO, YOU FLANNEL WEARING FAGGOTS BLACK POWER! |
| _____________________________________ [Feb 5,2008 11:23pm - AUTOPSY_666 ""] "the classic Alice in Chains song, "Would?"." |

| _________________________________ [Feb 6,2008 1:03pm - niflheim ""] Opeth is boring live? Haha, stupid... I wish Martin Lopez would overcome whatever psychological problems he has. Such a sick drummer. |
| _______________________________________ [Feb 6,2008 3:19pm - My_dying_bride ""] i thought the album theme was gonna be blackish and brOOtal? |

Such a sick drummer. i guess aside from his nervous breakdown issues he has a pretty serious blood disorder which keeps him from traveling too far from home. |
| ______________________________________ [Feb 6,2008 4:39pm - NuclearWinter ""] Wow. Even more of a reason to hate this band. This is like Ween covering The Getup Kids. |
| _________________________________________ [Oct 26,2008 10:33am - The Anonymous ""] yeah, EXACTLY like Ween covering The Getup Kids... *ahem*... |
| __________________________________________ [Oct 26,2008 10:59am - Conservationist ""] Yeti said:serious blood disorder A.I.D.S. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 7,2008 3:38am - anonymousss ""] I'm interested in the cover, I don't really think they need to do it, but if someone could do it justice it's them. Far as all this being boring live comments, that is funny, they play their songs and they play them really well and ussually live slightly sped up, they don't fuck up and they dont act like rock stars, it's refreshing to see a band with dry humor that is serious about their music. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 7,2008 4:03am - goatcatalyst ""] Opeth don't party. Faggots. |
| _________________________________________ [Nov 7,2008 11:42am - Alexthacrowley ""] opeth are for fagots. |
| ____________________________________________ [Dec 10,2008 11:42am - FuckIsMySignature ""] Apparently this is finally going to see the light of day... in Digital EP form. I guess you have to pay to download the song. I'll try it when i get home. http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermo...aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=110534 |

| ____________________________________ [Dec 10,2008 11:45am - dreadkill ""] i really like the AIC cover. kind of a weird choice for opeth, but it came out great. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 10,2008 11:46am - ouchdrummer ""] .....strange thing was, EVERYONE was excited for em, and after em, EVERYone was pissed. |
| ____________________________________________ [Dec 10,2008 11:46am - MikeofDecrepitude ""] You can listen to it right now on youtube. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet; it's missing certain details that made the original great. |
| ____________________________________________ [Dec 10,2008 11:53am - FuckIsMySignature ""] listening now... definitely a haunting version of the tune. i'd be more interested in seeing it live though |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 10,2008 12:04pm - dreadkill ""] amorphis is great live, especially with the current singer. he is the opposite of pasi, in that he actually has stage presence and energy. |
| ____________________________________________ [Dec 10,2008 12:25pm - MikeofDecrepitude ""] Everything from Privilege of Evil up to Tales From the Thousand Lakes is classic Amorphis. Pasi is a lot better off in Shape of Despair, who are beyond anything Amorphis has done in the past 12 years. |

I was there, they were horrible because they got stuck at the airport customs and got hammered, so when they did show up, they couldnt play, I had to walk out it was so bad. |

The fact that it was in that long merch room didn't help. Great lineup otherwise that year. That was the first time i saw origin. |
