Hi Everyone,
A friend send me some You Tube Videos of what she called Rock Goth Opera. Does BB have any styles that could be called Rock Goth Opera, leaning towards the epic ballad side?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Great question. I've also been searching for such styles.
There's an 80's tinged midi style called Coleplay that can get at some of that dark foreboding feel, especially with some minor chords.
Another is CC Hive, which has a surprisingly good sounding midi electric guitar riff which puts me in mind of the b-52's or the Cramps.
For Realstyles check out Modrok1.
Any other suggestions, folks?

Hello,
Thanks Matt, Bandmoose. I will check out your suggestions today.
So far, I started with a Rock Bed and then added Classical Stuff.
I also did the opposite. Started with a Classical Bed then rocked it up by adding drums, bass, and guitars.
I also added goth and darkness, by mixing sound effects with dark synth pads.
Also used a darker key Db, which is not heard too often, and an alternative tuning on a couple of the guitars.
Also in BB, I used darker sounding inversions on some of the chords.
Nothing beats BB for a Composers Best Friend.
Happy Composing

Do not forget church organs and judicious use of reverb.
