Opeth - Master's Apprentices @ Sonisphere UK 2011 4/5

Fourth part of the show.

[@chiyo-chanholocaust8143]

When Mikael's done with Opeth he can be a stand up comedian or someshit

[@opethemperor4531]

This is the greatest music made by a clockmaker.

[@PlacidDragon]

Funny part here is that the lead guitarist of Anthrax (Dan Spitz), actually did become a Swiss luxury clock maker :)

[@franciscoricarte7788]

This song makes me rally insane, i can't imagine what would I do if I were in a Opeth concert and they start to play this song..

[@jdperdomo]

Watch the musicians play, maybe?

[@awuda98]

This song becomes totally different at 2X speed... It's amazing

[@giorgioIP]

THAT'S FUCKING AWESOME

[@derekm3180]

hahahaha

[@_odelschwank]

Clean than the normal speed lol

[@RJRedtail]

1.5X is better

[@cagataysunal1130]

*starts with double bass* *few mins* FUCK THIS SHIT THEY AINT GONNA NOTICE

[@theaustralianpanther5545]

I love opeth

[@1992OGW]

My head was banging for the full 10 minutes. Severe bangover the next morning.

[@Claudio79]

Only few bands could play those vocal harmonies so flawlessy in a live set! 🥰

[@eSuEoS]

that's why my timing is so good *ba dum tish* EPIC.

[@curtis1567]

"That looks pretty fucking stupid from here!" HAHAHAHAHA

[@CryingZombie666]

Holy shit, that growl!

[@HyPreA]

To me Axe is doing a great job nowadays as he has found his own niche and style within Opeth, but there's no arguing with Lopez being the best drummer for the band's unique sound. To be fair, just being able to play these insanely technical songs as well as he does takes some major skills, and Axe's drumming on Watershed and Heritage is right up there next to Lopez' records in my honest opinion.

[@jababorg4484]

I love this band .

[@frikaleoteras]

The only thing that hasn't changed through all these years is Mendez headbanging as it's his last song playing live.

[@VOLKHNOX]

rock,jazz, deth, musica del mundo, oscuridad, progresividad y vanguardia todo exquisitamente mezclado. Opeth es una de mis bandas favoritas; con una ejecucion detalladamente impecable; para un amante de la musica verla en vivo es una experiencia mas q onirica. larga vida para Opeth y para maitre Akerfeldt.

[@sviola1160]

I have to watch this every day! It's so good!

[@TommysVinylWorld]

Bloody love this song

[@Feal9123]

4:10 soooo evil

[@nokroblosho]

subtle "yeah i'm a genius what can you say"! me and my friend were crying with laughter

[@philipkeaveney777]

Good man for uploading this. They were amazing last sunday.

[@carl_lindquist]

Loved this video! All the best!!

[@avengedsoul6661]

Mikael is on fire. His growls are incredible!

[@joprimus]

Wow! The clean vocals here are amazing! The guys pulled perfectly the harmonies in the background as well!!! Nevermind the growling if they can make it that way live.

[@itlivesin]

best band ever!!!!!!!!!!

[@OdinComposer]

I love this guy :D

[@BottiNez]

awesome performance !!

[@T-mert]

2:58 best death metal vocal in the world

[@DamnedDrummer]

"shut the fuck up axe" LMFAO

[@TechApe]

@Serpivate Hey I'm in the same boat. I liked the odd song by the band but was never really in-tune with their music. But seeing them live was incredible. You can understand the music more and really feel the sheer power of it all. Amazing. Definitely the best band at sonisphere in my eyes.

[@eddiepacer]

I think the difference is so clear between this and the blessed lamentations

[@ghther]

They're there; they were never missing.

[@Fac117]

wow, this growling is actually much better than in Royal Albert Hall, great! now looking forward to their show in wacken this year :)

[@Druzilla11]

So solid, incredible harmonies. Mikael is my new god.

[@admgnz666]

I fucking love this band

[@harmony0404]

Oh, my love...

[@JsHolgersson]

I love Opeth! when Heritage comes out,well all I have to say is "bye bye friends and outside world,Ive got the new Opeth album"

[@LIVEtoROCK86]

@MetallicOpeth I think he'll back go back to using death growls...the band just wants to try something fresh and new at the moment. At the show tonight in NYC he even said "Thank you for being so patient with this band. We're just trying something a little different tonight."

[@AndresMetalSubtitula]

@SuffocateJav90 Si man, si la he visto, viendo esa entrevista nos da un poco de esperanza de volver a escuchar esa brutalidad de voz que solia tener. Saludos.

[@JORGSEPU]

Al parecer difícil que vuelva

[@dogbuggy32]

thanks for this

[@csmanuel86]

God that opening riff is just SICK

[@rockmetalfan13]

8:08 to 9:05 sounds pretty good on this version ! (all the song sound awesome too...)

[@thatguyjezza]

I want to marry the sound mixer!! Oh My Sweet Lord! That sounds in-fucking-credible

[@Snedd99]

@oblivionFC The vocals have improved no end in the past few years, I remember watching them in around 2003 and since then they've improved a lot live.

[@NewsToAstonish]

Someone has to tell me where to find those killer pants Mikeal is wearing! Great show, love this band!!!

[@Visionary-j3q]

I was there in the back hahaha

[@GoatBorn]

I was planning on a "like" for this video, but Mikael's jokes sent it straight to my favorites.

[@oblivionFC]

Not my personal favorite... but Opeth live is just too awesome... the vocal harmony left me speechless

[@itlivesin]

Mendez is an amimal, the fucking wolf man!

[@erkjan]

a lesson in music!!

[@Katje1603]

Bob thanks for y great comment.

[@kevinryman92]

@jjuliok Yep , I know. But then one sec after that Fredrik appears. I was trying to pick the right time here........ I aways make mistakes. ( sorry for the delay )

[@richardmcintyre2031]

freaking tune

[@cyberhenning]

Man, I wish Opeth would play @ Roskilde Festival 2012!

[@JPW02]

Ahh I was there yesterday, front row!, fucking amazing!!, Mikael you're a fucking god!, Opeth are amazing! \m/

[@Ginzaz]

opeth kick ass

[@AndresMetalSubtitula]

Hes saying they come from switerland but not in the sence of their origin, the previous gig the did was in switerland, thats why he said, "We come all the way from switerland to play to you guys" and of course, he said "Dont blame me, Im just a poor cloock maker from switerland" because it matches perfect with his previous joke about eating chocolate and stuff, or at least, thats the way I see it.

[@N0va19]

I've never been to an Opeth concert... TT_TT

[@facu23996]

Best frontman ever.

[@bjorn860]

Boromir on the keyboards... meanwhile Legolas on the drums... one just does not simply rock into Opeth.

[@Shaytaan92]

@TheTwilightIsMyRobe His vocals have changed. I like them to. He stated in an interview that he is not that much interested in growling. Maybe that is why his voice changed,

[@Crazy3189]

Epic point! @ 4:09

[@hanifabidin90]

and Mikael is Aragorn!!!!

[@godplayer5336]

hanif_govan wow you are so weirdly accurate, im in love with both

[@staubfc]

LOL'ed so Hard @ 'That looks pretty fucking stupid from here!' OH MY GOD! XD

[@Shaytaan92]

@mwheeler1994 Maybe. I just said that the mentioned that in an interview.

[@jjuliok]

@kevinryman92 At the 8:28 is Joakim...

[@AndresMetalSubtitula]

Hes starting to sound a little bit better than the gig in Bloodstock with Bloodbath, I hope he can get back his legendary growls soon.

[@ingvaldandre]

Comus t shirt. Wow!

[@Opranius]

@TheTwilightIsMyRobe imo it soudns great here!

[@samuelkdrums]

but but... I knew it! Mikael has not lost his growls! he sounds very good in this video and all the other videos from sonisphere UK! The new album is gonna be great with or without growls :) i am sure! it will still be creepy and brutal in some ways!

[@inexistence17]

well, he has lost anyway

[@matias6119]

@@inexistence17 nah.

[@goodhitsofthesummer]

@babytweeze85 because sweden always gets mistaken for switzerland

[@Opranius]

He growls like a god here Oo

[@EstevanDrummer]

where did the double bass go?

[@EstevanDrummer]

hahahaha

[@SandroidHD]

@66EvilChuck whilst I love Lopez, Axe is awesome.

[@bjorn860]

yep, that's right, Gimli on the lead guitar.

[@samuelpakvis]

He's joking, because so many people commonly mistake Sweden for Switzerland.

[@solonaviavenger]

@66EvilChuck Martin Lopez signed Opeth but Axe is now their drummer. Neither is better than the other. They have different styles. Lopez is more groovy, Axe is much better at the speed. they are both equally unmatched.

[@FabioDaButterMan]

what was the setlist? It looks really similar to the setlist they played in portugal. (Face of Melinda/Master's Apprentices/The Lotus Eater/The Grand Conjuration,etc...)

[@elpatuleco]

Guitar-Opeth

[@DarkSandri666]

So hilarious x)

[@pabloikv3836]

Just one word...: "PerfectAwrrrrr"👌😈😈😊

[@Will057]

no its just much brutal approach so that you can hear more what he says then before

[@dashmaul]

To all who know: can I buy this concert on DVD/Bluray somewhere??

[@Wishmasters]

@HaCkErGDS and where is this interview?

[@MrMike0113]

@rebootenzo9 I assume this is the first Opeth video you've seen from the last four years, then?

[@ndokkk]

joakim svalberg? yngwie's keyboardist of G3 2003? hellyeah \m/

[@dogbuggy32]

nice

[@Megadedly]

@csmanuel86 He just forgot how to growl, as he was expanding his clean vocals, that's essentially it.

[@immortallix]

@npnaia well maybe this show was before he noticed the monitors were the problem?

[@M4NA5]

Mendez is playing Jazz bass.. how very apt.

[@Thystonius]

@TheZebra123123 Lol, the double bass of Axe has always been way better than Lopez :-P

[@mattkirkhamm]

its part of the guitar:D

[@erkjan]

this is the real shit!!

[@skylinegt311]

I agree.

[@erkjan]

hehe..they are from sweden!! ;)

[@HyPreA]

09:51 - is that Lopez in the background...?!

[@bubblegum0912]

how come it doesn't sound like that on the album?

[@bubblegum0912]

I don't know bro, probably because it's live ya nugget?

[@mwheeler1994]

@Shaytaan92 Or maybe its the fact that his voice is changing so he doesn't like doing it anymore. So more like vice-versa.

[@plkpg]

Were is the deepth in his voice he used to have?

[@ashishshakya5107]

awesome song love it and i personally prefer mikeal's clean vocals over his growling

[@csmanuel86]

@Colbystrns it definitely sounds badass. I think he's finally realized he is going to have to abandon the deep blood churning growls bc his voice just cant handle it
