Acoustic Demon of the Fall @ Record Store Day | Opeth Live Video Reaction

Demon of the Fall, Opeth Live @ Record Store Day!
This was everything I never knew I always wanted.
Through the filming and editing of this video, I have legitimately fallen in love with Martin "Bass Guy" Mendez and I don't know how to process this information.

My takeways from this video: Mikael is charming as hell. Keyboard Guy rocks Mellotron shirts like no other. Bass Guy has more swag than a single person should physically be able to possess. Martin's cymbal moment is the highlight of this video, and his hair is a thing of beauty. Fredrik, not Peter, is a fan of crowd clapping. :)

[@mellertid]

Peter Lindgren preceded Fredrik at the position 👍

[@geetbehera3593]

You are quite accurate there. Peter wasn't very fond of out of sync croud clapping. Has switched to a career as IT consultant after leaving Opeth. You might be interested in doing live shows from Peter days, that's their classic lineup

[@SteveFrank111]

Mikael is genuinely hilarious. Some of his live banter is just amazing.

[@moonfool4042]

Hope Leaves is off "Damnation" which is a twin album recorded alongside "Deliverance" but released in a 6-month gap due to marketing purposes. All songs in Deliverance are Heavy AF, while Damnation is more mellow with all the songs having clean vocals. I highly recommend listening to the entire album. It's very emotional album and my second favorite album by Opeth next to Blackwater Park.

[@MestHoop]

Hope Leaves is my favorite Opeth song, and I kind of jumped at her mention of it. I hope to see her react to it sometime!

[@VictorMan289]

Speaking of Hope Leaves, that's a great choice especially live !

[@misterscarisma]

I believe they were discussing Harry Potter. Yes, Damnation is the Opeth record for you. Nice react, as always.

[@markblaauw4961]

This is in a nutshell who these guys are. Pure love for music. Doesn't matter if they have to play it in a stadium or in a frickin' recordstore. They (Mikael in particular) just love to interact with people who love their music.

[@bryanmack5410]

If I remember right, this was at the Newbury Comics in my hometown just a few weeks after I moved to another state. I've held a resentment toward them for over a decade because of this.

[@floridabelle]

Damn it... my heart is melting again. I ❤❤❤ ❤❤❤ ❤❤❤ Opeth! It's so cool the way you didn't boot your cat out of the room, and just waited for her to settle down. 💕

[@mellertid]

Yes, do watch all the songs from this gig ❤ Häxprocess for example.

[@mellertid]

I looked it up. They played Credence, Hope Leaves, Atonement, Häxprocess and Demon of the Fall. I think it's all good.

[@victorlojero8318]

I'm glad you enjoyed this acoustic version. It's one of my favorites.

[@anumili08]

As everyone mentioned in the comments, Damnation is the album !! You already reacted to "Windowpane" and " Death Whispered a lullaby". Please do consider "Hope Leaves", "In My Time of Need " or "To rid the disease "

[@misterjoebiden3470]

Hi Lauren! Here is Some opeth Recommendations: Opeth a fair judgement live at Shepherds Bush empire Opeth Hope leaves live at the Royal Albert Hall And please don't forget to complete Watershed!

[@WellingtonSilvaf1]

You have to check Hope Leaves, from both album version and the one they play is this same place.

[@alejandroberrios4756]

Glad you liked this, I remember when I first discovered this performance I was really intrigued, and while there is a certain novelty to it, I’ll take the original anyday, the intensity of the heavily distorted guitars, the pace, the growls, you just know that was the original intent behind the song, for it to be a monstrous, intense experience. But this show was pretty cool, you haven’t heard it yet but I really liked their performance of “Credence” from this “show”. I actually prefer that version to the album version, this entire set is worth checking out if you have the time.

[@16dbuse]

I hope in your search for music, you find bands that have enough impact on you that as you collect their library, you find amazing sessions like this.

[@DustinHarms]

I'm sure everyone will point this out, but the entire "Damnation" album is acoustic (or at least, clean vocals....it's not "purely" acoustic). You'll probably research it, but it's basically a counter-album to "Deliverance," which I always thought was such a cool concept. And those albums are relatively old! You can tell Opeth always had a soft spot for softer music as well as the hard stuff!

[@dianajemison105]

Mocha just wanted to check out keyboard guy. This sounded great! I love it when bands do stuff like this. To me, it shows they aren't too big for their britches. : )

[@morlokkurak4763]

The acoustic version is Haunting. Death Metal without mega distortion. 😎🎶🎵 Love your show, Lady L.🤘😎🤘

[@tricia154]

I love how much you fell into Opeth 😄

[@raimukoyoasu6636]

Demon of the Toy Store

[@charlie7092]

good choice

[@karla1957]

0:00 they already kinda have a full mellow album which is damnation, awesome reaction btw

[@16dbuse]

Oooohhh Hope leaves is my favorite on Damnation

[@robin-38-]

he is a genius

[@akarm5000]

Please check out Master's Apprentices, really think you will like it.

[@notchjohnson2540]

Half of the fun with live Opeth performances is Mikael's standup improv :>

[@fancotasargentina8165]

That cat is annoying you because she is a friend of the Demon and heard that you said that you "tolerate" him

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

LOL

[@morlokkurak4763]

Mocha is Metal.

[@dissonantpulse]

For me it will be better if only Mikael made a solo acoustic album. He and his guitar and that's it.

[@melvinandrade2682]

Corey, Pete Ben (Burnley) have some competition, Lauren has a new crush I wish you discovered this video in February, just for the irony of you being against Valentine's day 😅

[@sputhoor96]

You still don't like the demon?

[@lawrencefine5020]

Nah, doesn't work for me. Sounds like an average acoustic band that can't do Death Metal vocals. It sounds.....yucky. Cannot have a demon of the Fall without the Demon. Just doesn't sound right.

[@MusicCatsandCoffee]

When sung like this, this song lacks a vocal melody. It's pretty much the same note the whole time, right? I'll give you that. Otherwise, love it. :)

[@lindacoy7165]

It’s so great when a well-known band plays a store like this. And depending on the band, I am so jealous of the people that got to attend. It is nice that these performances sometimes get posted to KZbin though. 😁

[@alexandremarchand8815]

@@MusicCatsandCoffee That's the only thing negative about this version. The growl doesn't have a melody so it make sense tho. I do prefer the heavier version but I'm happy this one exist too. They played this version when they toured for the Heritage record, it was a nice addition to the setlist.

[@kristofervanderschaaf4791]

@@MusicCatsandCoffee Yes! Although it’s nice that they did a different version of this, it feels a bit lazy (and not in pitch) in the vocal melody apartment. Not eeeverything they do is the best thing ever. 😄
