Opeth - The Last Will and Testament §3 | Paragraph 3 (Live) @ Denver, 10/27/24

[@matiosmi137]

OMG, Mikael is really tuning his E string down to B and up just for this one fragment. Now I know why it's surrounded by pure bass 😂

[@tylerjacobson8012]

It works for the song and the Gypsy vibes they have going with it too. Should’ve just got a seven string or a detuner for the song lol. Makes no sense to do that work of tuning it for one tiny section…

[@thaigo972]

​@@tylerjacobson8012 Carrying around and playing a heavier, less comfortable guitar for a tiny section of a song is way more work than just turning a peg a couple times. A pitch shifter would work, but more equipment always means more setup and more things that can go wrong. I can see why they chose to do it this way.

[@hichaelhyers]

This is a grower, after listening dozens of times it is now my current favorite song.

[@Platypunk-uz6nk]

Elite band. Mikael is a genius

[@MartinaHorvat-g3g]

This is incredibly powerful; syncopation, every instrument and the magical voice of Mikal...♥️

[@moonlightreveries1459]

It’s got such a theatrical vibe to it. This album is going to be very artsy and just unlike everything else. They take risks and I always like when musicians do that.

[@TheJML1975]

Long may Åkerfeldt do what he loves, and i for one will be there for the ride! 🙌🏻

[@dandylion6]

Just here to see him tune down

[@Opranius]

I think if I ever meet Mikael in person I ask him why he didn't switch to a 7-string for this track! 😀

[@eriksenbriggs]

My guess is because it’s only for one short section that they play the low B and playing a seven string on a song thats 99,9% six string would just complicate things even more 😅 Opeth doing songs on seven strings sounds interesting, though!

[@yannickkerriou7446]

why not simply use a drop effect. with all the digital equipment available these days, why make life as complicated as it is?

[@Opranius]

@@yannickkerriou7446 of course a good Idea. But it sounds Bit muddy if the effect is too high

[@bwestby1]

Does opeth play to a click ? Seems like they were just going off drummers que there going into the last section.

[@mtlman906]

Going off the drummer. I noticed they extended a few parts a few measures to let the music breathe when I saw them live twice this last us tour. Love it. Real musicianship

[@Flightle]

Mendez the myth!

[@Travreviews]

Just realize Mikael has to tune the guitar mid-song, so they play the pauses a little longer

[@МеломанБаянов]

Но зачем это дурацкое рычание, ведь у него красивый голос ,взял всё испортил. И ещё мне очень не понравилось оформление обложки, всё такое унылое депресняк.😢

[@Ephel81]

А Opeth когда то играли весёлую музыку?))

[@МеломанБаянов]

@Ephel81 вы знаете,а я был не прав,мне понадобилось 5 раз послушать этот очень сложный и интересный альбом , чтобы понять его ,он великолепен,однозначно буду покупать винил!)))

[@MartinaHorvat-g3g]

​@@МеломанБаяновwhy the stupid questions about growl? I don't know how long you've been listening to Opeth? I didn't listen to them because of the growl, but I didn't judge, I knew it was my prejudice. After a year, I fell in love with growl, but I really fell in love. It's a vocal artistic expression as well as distortion on the guitar.
