Opeth - The Making of Deliverance and Damnation (Part 4)

[@poisoNation]

I like when Steven says "I'm just wondering whether I should add my voice" and Mikael's immediately like "YES!" lol. The bromance is real.

[@Avisale]

Well, Steven is not a great singer.

[@MustObeyTheRules]

Yea he’s not actually a great singer but luckily he so good at writing music that it works anyways and sounds amazing in his context.

Seeing the smile Mikael had on his face when Steven replayed the vocal harmonies was priceless at 1:43 - 3:00 . What really killed me was Mikael's instant "YES!" to Steven's "I'm just wondering if I should add my voice to the mix"

Steven is a genius

[@helgijonsson3537]

I've listened to this album so many damn times that every time I hear an isolated drum part I instantly know what part of which song is being played.

[@ToastedCigar]

These guys are truly amazing. Neither Steven nor Mikael are professional musicians, in a way that they could explain things in theoretical terms, but they are both incredible intuitive geniuses. They just rely on their instincts and everything they touch turns to gold. Sure, neither of them are incredible instrumentalists, but you don't have to be a virtuoso to be a great composer.

[@dinospumoni5611]

They're pretty damn good guitarists and vocalists. I'd argue those are actually both of their strongest skills musically.

[@larkstonguesinaspic4814]

Ummm I'm pretty sure they qualify as professional musicians. Maybe virtuoso is the word you should've used. Because they're definitely professional.

[@Phunkophil]

Mikael: "No we don't have many fights... " Peter: "We argue about ridiculous things."

Opeth are AWESOME! Opeth with Steven is DIVINE!!!!

[@zsmain_1520]

Stevens Solo at 4:57 is one of me most briliant short solos i ever heard. After all these years i haven't seen this. I still remembered that this beautiful piece of music exist. I needed to come back to see it. This were great times to be into Opeth.

[@lordgraga]

Hey dude, not sure if it's gonna make you happy or not, but I did some soloing in Steven Wilson's style on Master's Apprentices on my channel.

Lopez to me is god. Style, technique, power. I was five feet away at Soen concert going nuts watching his power

[@opiumsunrise]

Went fishing last weekend in Hayward, WI and the guide had his radio on some public radio show on the way to the shack. Somebody was interviewing Steven Wilson and now here I am, watching this for the 50th time.

I can't get tired of that Lopez bit...

[@bgkakos]

I like how in 3:40 when Steven starts to sing his "ah" parts, Mikael makes a face and turns his head towards Steven maybe thinking "What the fuck is that?? Will we keep that voice???" 😆😆

Hey HELLO from El SALVADOR

What was the song that Mikael and Steven were recording vocals on? EDIT: Found it. Master’s Apprentices. What a great song, really wish Steven’s solo at 4:58 made it in somehow

04:57 to 05:50 idk why they didn't keep wilson's solo but that was beautiful

[@shane727]

Maybe because he's not in the band, and that part didn't need a solo over it

[@gaugehoughton2403]

@@shane727 i’m sure mikeal would have been more than happy to feature a guest solo from steven, i think the primary and most likely reason is just that it didn’t fit.

[@jsb2277b]

It strikes me as a very Trey Anastasio - esque solo which doesn't really fit the opeth vibe

@@gaugehoughton2403 I think it's more of a less is more situation. Like overcrowding that section with multiple elements would just be Overkill

[@blppt]

@@TheFbiFilesRepeat Axe is one of the most technically gifted drummers on the planet (and superior to Lopez in that area), but some people prefer Lopez's feel. Its all irrelevant now anyways, Lopez is not coming back, he has his own band.

[@Rondo2ooo]

Mikael is a fantastic musician and songwriter but his comments are often irritating (10:28) and arrogant.

[@girshin]

You find it irritating and arrogant. I find it honest and neutral. Are you a drummer?

[@Cheximus]

You can't really blame him though, most of us would be slightly arrogant if we could write even half of what he has. Genius.

[@alessa_cybergoth]

I don't find any arrogance on his comments. Maybe you're a very thin skinned person.
