Going by age wouldn't that include morbid angel, death, suffocation, emperor, cannibal corpse, at the gates, dismember, entombed, etc. Some of those guys have got to be mid 50's early 60's.
dream theater came out in the 80s, opeth came out in like 2005. what in the flying fu** are you talking about? dream theater has been classic rock, for awhile. rush and dream theater, were basically the first major progressive groups. the guy from opeth probably listened to dream theater, when he was a literal child.
I sent this to my dad since he loves both this band AND the channel, he works in the hospital so I’m pretty sure he has patients dying so he can watch this
Hey everyone thanks for watching! Just wanna clarify a couple things: - The intro isn't Swedish, it's an attempt at Norwegian haha. I know Opeth is Swedish but I only know *some* Norwegian 😅 - I'm not calling Opeth "dad rock," I only meant that they sometimes have "rockin" riffs, so I think Dean secretly likes actual dad rock and he's just not telling us 😏 Ok, thanks for listening 🖤 What band should we do next?!
Opeth are a dad rock band! They've been getting more and more dad rock since the early 00s. These days, they clearly have little interest in the death metal style that made them famous.
Lateralus is an absolute masterpiece. I know Tool is very famous but I still think Maynard is an underrated artist. Parabola literally changed my entire view on the world and helped me a lot with severe depression because it made me see life as a holy experience and made me thankful just to be alive when life sucked. ”Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing” hits me every time
Ahhh love Opeth. I was always glad I was proficient enough to play their songs... but damn learning those transitions made me realize how much I suck at writing music. I heard someone say somewhere that Opeth has never played a boring chord and boy that's so true.
@@BigMuff75 no, she doesn't. shes incredibly boring. she thinks another that doesnt jus staright chugs isnt good. its literally upsetting to me to be so boring of a human and off put to being alive ha
I am super happy Sheet Happens keeps making tabs like these, I have been to their pop up shop a few times, and they seem to be super cool guitarists, it's nice to see them keep growing.
I remember when i was around 17 or 18 and discovered Opeth. The amount of hours spent glued to UltimateTabs just to learn Opeth songs was pretty insane. I still dont think there is a band in existence who ever came close to being what Opeth in terms of the way riffs and songs were written. Everything was so well written and orchestrated for maximum dynamics and affect and it didnt matter if it was that one sustained single note that rang out that would make people lose their minds or putting two chords or notes that dont work well with each other *TOGETHER* Opeth songs are extremely fun to learn how to play.
Sounds of the Underground Tour 2005: Opeth whips out the acoustic guitars at Target Center and start playing, some unknown hero in the audience yells "THIS FUCKING SUCKS" and it was twice as loud as the band. Akerfelt clearly hears this and finishes the set with a sour expression on his face
Oh man, I opened youtube and the first thing I see is this video and I'm just SMILING! I love Opeth so much (the old stuff tbh) and seeing this video made my day :D It was obvious that Master's Apprentices will be level 1, but it really is such a good song! DEAN, maybe you should do Dean Attempts to Learn an Opeth song? Probably will be cheating since you learned a lot of their stuff, but still c: I was stuck (and still kind of am) listening to almost only Opeth for the past 8 or so months now. Learning their riffs really got me enjoying their music even more :)
Love seeing you both tackle Opeth-even more so with Archspire being one of my favorite bands! “The Drapery Falls” was my first introduction to Opeth (still one of my favorite songs from them). I remember listening to it in high school and being absolutely entranced such music existed.
Thanks for the video. Opeth is my 3rd favorite band of all time, at least their older albums. Interestingly, Dean’s band is quickly becoming my 5th favorite band of all time! Keep up the good work.
Love that you picked Serenity Painted Death but that section rules so much because it's such a groovy transition between two extremely different parts and it loses a little magic without the before and after for contrast.
Opeth has been fav ever since I discovered them in middle school 18 years ago. It has been quite a musical journey for them so I could totally understand why it stopped being some people's favorite band. Personally, I find myself listening to Morningrise and Orchid the most because of the black metal influences.
Opeth was my favourite band from age 14 until 18 as well! I didn't realize what my arms your hearse meant exactly until you explained it. I thought it had some sort of deeper or abstract meaning 😂
3:20 - haha i love it when professional musicians like the same sections in songs as me... most peoples reaction to: "wooohw you gotta check out that riff" is: "Das kein riff" (german word for "coral reef") followed by crickets chirping *btw: im gettin real good at those dad jokes, and im not even a dad.
Demon of The Fall is imo, an opeth Showcase. It shows just about every aspect of what they had (at the time) to offer musically. It was the first opeth song that caught my ear when I became a musician and made me fall in Love with them. Glad to see someone I'm a fan of is a fan of one of my top 3 bands. They're #1 when I found them and #3 now. Haha
Love these videos Dean! Opeth is my favorite so this is an extra special installment. It must have been difficult to choose only 4 riffs for this. Have a good trip in Europe.
Watching this video the first time caused me to do a weeklong deep dive on Opeth, and I can now say that I am a newly minted fan. I had probably heard their name for 25+ years, and just never bothered to check them out before. Thanks helping put me on the path that I should have tread long ago, Dean. I have already begun to reckon with the painful fact that I should have been seeing them live in the late 90's and through the 00's, and will get a very different experience when I go to see them the next time they come through town. But hey, his clean vocals are good too.
A great, great selection of Opeth riffs. I remember pretty well that riff In The Drapery Falls from the times when i played It live with my band here In Spain. And i remember the chaotic riff In the middle of the song. When we all get how to play It properly It was awesome.
I’m honestly surprised she’s not more into these riffs. The Demon of the Fall riff is legitimately one of the coolest metal riffs of all time and she was just like “meh” haha
Claine I 100% feel you on Opeth. Mucho respect to them, huge influence on my songwriting, dope riffs... can't be fucked listening to more than a song at a time, idk why. Cheers to both of you!

Billie Eilish I see what you did there🤣🤣🤣🤣
If Dream Theater and Opeth are dad rock, we're entering the coolest era of dad rock.
Here for this bro
Or we are just getting old.
Ratt is now muzak in grocery stores. So, there's that.
Going by age wouldn't that include morbid angel, death, suffocation, emperor, cannibal corpse, at the gates, dismember, entombed, etc. Some of those guys have got to be mid 50's early 60's.
dream theater came out in the 80s, opeth came out in like 2005. what in the flying fu** are you talking about? dream theater has been classic rock, for awhile. rush and dream theater, were basically the first major progressive groups. the guy from opeth probably listened to dream theater, when he was a literal child.
I sent this to my dad since he loves both this band AND the channel, he works in the hospital so I’m pretty sure he has patients dying so he can watch this
Dean may be one of those people considering he’s in the ICU after a horrible peekaboo accident. RIP that bald fella
Cattle Decap Rules!
Hey everyone thanks for watching!
Just wanna clarify a couple things:
- The intro isn't Swedish, it's an attempt at Norwegian haha. I know Opeth is Swedish but I only know *some* Norwegian 😅
- I'm not calling Opeth "dad rock," I only meant that they sometimes have "rockin" riffs, so I think Dean secretly likes actual dad rock and he's just not telling us 😏
Ok, thanks for listening 🖤
What band should we do next?!
Confirmed Dean likes boomer bends
You should do Gorod next especially "Bekhten's Curse"
Definitely do Journey next
I'm Swedish and understood you fine, good jerb!
Bands: Arsis, Ulcerate, Gaerea, Carcass.. Might be tough to find tabs for 2 and 3 though
Opeth are a dad rock band! They've been getting more and more dad rock since the early 00s. These days, they clearly have little interest in the death metal style that made them famous.
Mikael's clean vocals are one of my favorite elements of Opeth. Thanks for the showcase!
yap
Is there any bad element to opeth?
@@sirspookybones1118 their songs are too short
@@leviathan3630 dammit you're right
@@leviathan3630idk man. As much as I love Opeth,We don’t need another black rose immortal
Long for the sake of being long
The Drapery Falls is just perfection. 2001 sealed prog metal as my favourite genre with Blackwater Park and Lateralus
ALL of Blackwater park is just PERFECTION..🤘😄🤘 A MASTERPIECE.
Lateralus is an absolute masterpiece. I know Tool is very famous but I still think Maynard is an underrated artist. Parabola literally changed my entire view on the world and helped me a lot with severe depression because it made me see life as a holy experience and made me thankful just to be alive when life sucked. ”Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing” hits me every time

I heard someone say somewhere that Opeth has never played a boring chord and boy that's so true.
the guy from the Tool tutorials maybe? :)
th-cam.com/video/z7tUecCdElU/w-d-xo.html there you go
@@yash9410503314 even though he says those exact words... Ive never seen that video! Fuck, now I really wanna find it to see whos copying who!
ha! Found it! Its another video... by the same guy lol.
There are too many amazing Opeth riffs. We need a part 2! ;)
The opening riff of Hex omega is so incredibly satisfying to me! A friend of mine alerted me to how incredibly well written it is, and he is so right
You could make an entire video of these with riffs off Blackwater Park alone (the track, not even the album).
Opeth is my wife and I's favorite band. We never miss a show and will literally listen to their entire discography from start to finish before hand.
That's really cool!
Just saw the title for this one.... Oh, yeeeeaaaahhh! Two of my all-time favourite bands, Archspire and (early-and-mid-era) Opeth ;)
"the clean singing in Opeth is the pill that's hard to swallow"
that hurt
Yeah. The clean singing is amazing. Maybe she means Orchid singing
Opeth's clean singing is what helps me swallow the pill of life"
19 hours to retune my guitar to standard.
*remove piano string or else neck-body snap sandwitch from standard tunning tentions, rip retune
I keep one of my 7's in drop A, so it's a quick omission on 1 string here 💜
I must really be getting old if we are now calling Opeth “Dad rock”.
She has a point, though.
Hell yeah, brother!
😂😂
@@BigMuff75 Sounds just like Van Halen
@@BigMuff75 no, she doesn't. shes incredibly boring. she thinks another that doesnt jus staright chugs isnt good. its literally upsetting to me to be so boring of a human and off put to being alive ha
I am super happy Sheet Happens keeps making tabs like these, I have been to their pop up shop a few times, and they seem to be super cool guitarists, it's nice to see them keep growing.
The Moor, A Fair Judgement, The Leper Affinity, When. Opeths riffs are magic in my ears.
Opeth fuckin rules. So much fun to play on guitar.
4 Levels of Gorod would be amazing
It's funny...with each one of these, I both gain and lose respect for you two all at the same time hahaha
Same
I remember when i was around 17 or 18 and discovered Opeth. The amount of hours spent glued to UltimateTabs just to learn Opeth songs was pretty insane. I still dont think there is a band in existence who ever came close to being what Opeth in terms of the way riffs and songs were written. Everything was so well written and orchestrated for maximum dynamics and affect and it didnt matter if it was that one sustained single note that rang out that would make people lose their minds or putting two chords or notes that dont work well with each other *TOGETHER*
Opeth songs are extremely fun to learn how to play.
The intro was clearly understandable for a Swede! Well done Claire!
and a dane :-D
Sounds of the Underground Tour 2005: Opeth whips out the acoustic guitars at Target Center and start playing, some unknown hero in the audience yells "THIS FUCKING SUCKS" and it was twice as loud as the band. Akerfelt clearly hears this and finishes the set with a sour expression on his face
Opeth is my number 1 all time band for 5 years and I don't really see it changing haha
My Arms Your Hearse is still one of my favorite albums. They will never be that good ever again.
Mikael has the best growls AND clean vocals.
Dude was a beast.
I’m 33 and Opeth is still in my top 5 favorite bands. Blackwater Park and Damnation are my favorite albums.
Oh man, I opened youtube and the first thing I see is this video and I'm just SMILING!
I love Opeth so much (the old stuff tbh) and seeing this video made my day :D
It was obvious that Master's Apprentices will be level 1, but it really is such a good song!
DEAN, maybe you should do Dean Attempts to Learn an Opeth song?
Probably will be cheating since you learned a lot of their stuff, but still c:
I was stuck (and still kind of am) listening to almost only Opeth for the past 8 or so months now.
Learning their riffs really got me enjoying their music even more :)
I love this band, these riffs, and fun the editing has become in these videos. Lookin forward to your Vancouver show in May.
Lol, as a scandinavian, that intro was hilarious :D
Hell yes, I was hoping you’d do an Opeth episode one of these days! Those riffs in the late 90s-early 2000s albums are some of the best I’ve heard.
Awesome stuff, couple goals for sure! See you in Manchester next Friday!
9:20 That super fast glance at the camera 😂
Some good Opeth bbc (big beautiful chords)
Man, you got hook up 4 levels of Periphery! Misha is always fun.
Looking forward to the Ireland show man!
Love seeing you both tackle Opeth-even more so with Archspire being one of my favorite bands! “The Drapery Falls” was my first introduction to Opeth (still one of my favorite songs from them). I remember listening to it in high school and being absolutely entranced such music existed.
This is awesome! Hope you dudes have a killer time on the Euro tour! See you in Van for Modified Ghost!
Opeth is my all time favorite band so I'm stoked to see this
Opeth will always be my favorite band
I remember requesting you to learn Serenity Painted Death on stream, so sick!
Opeth is just the greatest band ever
i hope you guys try HeirApparent or even Blackwater Park! Can't wait
So much fun in your homage to Opeth! This was super-fun. THEY ARE LEGEND. So shall be Archspire, in time
Glad to see something off of Blackwater. Such a perfect album. Yall crushed it!!
Got my tickets! Cant wait to see you in Nottingham!
Thanks for the video. Opeth is my 3rd favorite band of all time, at least their older albums. Interestingly, Dean’s band is quickly becoming my 5th favorite band of all time! Keep up the good work.
Claire talking about The Drapery Falls is 100% her being a wonderful wife and 0% her liking Opeth.
that peak a boo joke was S tier. fuckin a, Dean.
You guys genuinely have the best sense of humor. I laugh more at you guys videos than most. Keep rocking!!
Love that you picked Serenity Painted Death but that section rules so much because it's such a groovy transition between two extremely different parts and it loses a little magic without the before and after for contrast.
I just want to watch Dean do Opeth covers from this era now 🥰
I truly adore y’all. I so wish my wife was down to play guitar together. Never stop. Please. 🤘🏻
There is not a more wholesome channel on TH-cam. Not. A. Single. One.
that's really great Benighted is coming with you, what a sweet band!
Tusen takk, Claire, for at du ønsket meg velkommen tilbake!
Those closeups are literally what I come here for
00:05 That's exactly what you said! Bravo!
Opeth has been fav ever since I discovered them in middle school 18 years ago. It has been quite a musical journey for them so I could totally understand why it stopped being some people's favorite band. Personally, I find myself listening to Morningrise and Orchid the most because of the black metal influences.

already bought a ticket . i am excited to watch aspire the first time. greetings from vienna
Honestly I love Opeth and I have considered them pretty "Dad Rock"y for a long time. It is what it is
This band is top tier. Such a great video guys keep it up! Small hand crew😤
You watch out, he’s going to be teaching you Thin Lizzy before you know it.
love you dudes. please keep exploring sonic capacities
3:20 - haha i love it when professional musicians like the same sections in songs as me... most peoples reaction to: "wooohw you gotta check out that riff" is: "Das kein riff" (german word for "coral reef") followed by crickets chirping
*btw: im gettin real good at those dad jokes, and im not even a dad.
Thank you for that welcoming❤
“I’m not a mathematician”
“No you’re not” with eye roll
I choked on my beer when he said that.
Wow, you did so well in this video! :)
I remember when my band covered The Drapery Falls... it was really something.
As always i enjoy the banter between you two
Totally a top five band for me. Great video guys!
So good to see you both back!!!!
That freaking peek a boo dad joke got me good. Was not expecting that. Also really upset I’ve never heard it before
Claine's right : you do have a rocking part of your soul Dean and that's fine, you'll live with it perfectly mate !
Great vid guys needs a part 2!! Also make one for Mastodon haha
Demon of The Fall is imo, an opeth Showcase. It shows just about every aspect of what they had (at the time) to offer musically. It was the first opeth song that caught my ear when I became a musician and made me fall in Love with them. Glad to see someone I'm a fan of is a fan of one of my top 3 bands.

Love these videos Dean! Opeth is my favorite so this is an extra special installment. It must have been difficult to choose only 4 riffs for this. Have a good trip in Europe.
I'm arriving here after working security for the Whitechapel show where Archspire opened. I'm really enjoying the chemistry and humor.
The right way to say it. Välkommen tillbaka till våran lägenhet
Opeth being "dad rock" kinda kills me a bit. Death Metal Opeth is what I grew up on. I guess I'm officially old.
Watching this video the first time caused me to do a weeklong deep dive on Opeth, and I can now say that I am a newly minted fan. I had probably heard their name for 25+ years, and just never bothered to check them out before. Thanks helping put me on the path that I should have tread long ago, Dean. I have already begun to reckon with the painful fact that I should have been seeing them live in the late 90's and through the 00's, and will get a very different experience when I go to see them the next time they come through town. But hey, his clean vocals are good too.
Idk about yall but I'd love to see 4 levels of Death Metal/Deathcore: Aversions Crown
Would really love a high quality arch live dvd / video . Please Dean !
Dean, I'll see you in Bristol. Claire, I'm going to miss you but I can't blame you for not wanting to tour with those guys
Man those tour dates and the ol school confusion "pianey" segment was hilarious lol
Speaking of touring, i was so bummed that you couldn't make it to Costa Rica last tour... hopefully someday soon.
A great, great selection of Opeth riffs. I remember pretty well that riff In The Drapery Falls from the times when i played It live with my band here In Spain. And i remember the chaotic riff In the middle of the song. When we all get how to play It properly It was awesome.
God damn, Demon of the Fall is such a sick riff. You two crack me up!
I love this, i always come back to playing Opeth and im definitely a dad rocker
I’m honestly surprised she’s not more into these riffs. The Demon of the Fall riff is legitimately one of the coolest metal riffs of all time and she was just like “meh” haha
Claine I 100% feel you on Opeth. Mucho respect to them, huge influence on my songwriting, dope riffs... can't be fucked listening to more than a song at a time, idk why. Cheers to both of you!
Thanks for doing this. Opeth are on one of my GOAT lists. You guys rock!!!
- Dad
Waiting for Archspire’s blues revival album
I've been listening to Opeth all day! Saw them in concert back around 2008. So good!
Next time for the entry levels you could also do the Heir Apparent riff, that's fucking evil
Great vid as always!! Hilarious😂😂
Mr supeeene got me into this band. Saw them at the commodore many moons ago. So good
YES! My hour has come!
I nominate Decapitated next
my arms your hearse hands down best concept album of all time
was pretty sure level 4 was gonna be either The Moor or The Lepper Affinity but The Drapery Falls is very nice too!
Opeth? You could not have me more happy. Thank you guys!
Good to see you two playing riffs again 🤘
