greatest band ever? maybe not. but they are brilliant and make some really amazing music
To improve technique and of course trying to keep all as clean as possible. I know my own limits and speed limits and so on I never play anything I'm not capable of. That wouldn't make any sense. After three years of playing I tried to play everything as fast as possible and that sounded, I would say, like shit, and I didn't realize that if I'd play bit slower things than I was capable of playing then everything would sound much better.

I agree a 100% that some song needs to be listened to several times before you start to like them. When I first heard yngwies "black star" I thought it was so boring. But now, after have listened to it many times, I think its much better! The same thing happened when I got into death/trash/black metal, at first it only seemed to be a lot of heavey distorted noise, but later I discovered the great melodies in the songs.

Anyways I'll check out those Opeth songs now!:)

Yeah, aiwass, I agree.. The CD:s I kept longest isn't those I worshiped from the beginning.. Some music acctually take time to "find" and bands like Dream Theater can still surprise me, although I have heard all their songs tousends of times..

Anyway, I'm glad some of you liked them to.. I saw them in Gothenburg last week, and it was all amazing and once I got home I ordered those Opeth CD:s I missed..

By the way, one guy told me that they sounded almost like early Katatonia. Do any of you agree? I havn't heard Katatonia at all, but if what he said is true, I will..
