Gah.. blast you Opeth... come back to Edmonton... :upset:


We have mayple syrup!

/realises only Scruples will get that

[QUOTE=BlindWriting]Sounds amazing.

So what's the story with Lopez? What happened to him, and why is Gene Hoglan taking on the touring duties?[/QUOTE]

Lopez is suffering from a blood illness he's had since he was a kid.

Crap. I love his style, very unique for a death metal band. Hope he recovers and returns soon.

Some are saying something about a coke addiction..

[QUOTE=Cain]
EDIT: And BTW, all of the Ghost Reveries songs just EXPLODED live. Incredible. All of these songs were perfectly executed by the band and in rare instances were superior to the album versions.[/quote]

Glad you enjoyed the show Cain, they are wicked live :D
All of you who have been bashing GR songs, wait until you see them live before you judge.

[quote=Cain]And the new drummer they have is a BEAST. I say keep him.[/QUOTE]

Noooooo! That would mean getting rid of Martin Lopez for good :(
Gene's a great drummer (all of Death's drummers were :p) but he should stick with SYL, I want to see Lopez back.

Isn't it another Martin from Bloodbath (I think) and not Gene thats touring with Opeth?

/checks news on Roadrunner again....

You're right, Gene just filled in for SOTU, Martin Axenrot's doing the GR tour.

yeah its Martin Axenrott from Bloodbath. Gene covered the sounds of the underground tour.

[QUOTE=ATC]Isn't it another Martin from Bloodbath (I think) and not Gene thats touring with Opeth?[/QUOTE]

Yup.

Cain, you guys didn't get The Moor? We didn't get Face of Melinda, so I guess they switched those two around.

I just saw this quote on another forum and it prompted me to come here. You guys are so freaking lucky to be seeing Opeth at the moment.

I assume "When" is a track from My Arms, Your Hearse? Because I've never heard of it.

[QUOTE]1.) Baying of the Hounds
2.) When

9.) Demon of the Fall[/QUOTE]

Excellent set list! God I wish I could see them again...all they played at SOTU was:

1. The Drapery Falls
2. To Rid The Disease
3. The Grand Conjuration
4. Demon of The Fall

Still a good set, filled with great songs (3 of them are favorites of mine)...but I just wish they had a longer set...

Yeah, it's one of the best songs off the album.

Axenrot is such a metal name.

I'm downloading the video now.

5 days until I go see them and the anticipation is just killing me. I may spontaneously combust when they play Bleak.

It's really funny. Especially the King Diamond part.

My Quicktime is saying I am missing softaware needed to view the clip, and that it can't find the 'ware on the Quicktime server. Wtf?! :mad:

*slaps forehead*

I have no idea, it worked fine for me.

Good times :lol:

Grrr...it isn't working. It looks like you can only play it with Quicktime too.

Why in the hell don't you have Quicktime?

I got the same error message. :confused:

Funny video though, by the sound.

No one can see it but me? What the hell?

[QUOTE=Creeping_Deth]No one can see it but me? What the hell?[/QUOTE]

Is it a .avi file? Some Quicktime users are unable to use Quicktime to view it, and it's not a Windows Media compatible file type either. You need a special player.

Quicktime will play .movs, .mpegs, .mp3s, .wavs and .aiffs, among other things. It can't play .avis. If you can convert it to .mpeg or .mov, we can watch it.

That's disappointing. It's so funny.

No, it's a .mov file, which is why I'm surprised it won't play it. I probably just don't have the right codecs. I'll try to find those when I figure out how to slap properly...stupid metallic click, I can't get around it :evil:

I was getting the same error, but I just updated to the newest QT and it came through fine!

[QUOTE=Det_Nosnip]I've been hooked on Reverie/Harlequin Forest lately. The part where Mikael sings:

[i]It is all false pretension
Harlequin forest
Awaiting redemption for a lifetime
As they die alone
With no one by their side
Are they forgiven?[/i]

Pure gold.[/QUOTE]


Yeah that's a tight riff, and climax...sadly, it's the only segment of [I]Ghost Reveries[/I] I care for.

Opeth is an excellent example when it comes to not selling out. But one band that has been underground to the general non musically talented public, is dream theater, the Prog metal Goddests themselves, I really look to that as an example when it comes to not selling out, they are true to the music, not the popularity, and thats what counts.

Some other bands that I listen to that I FIND havnt sold out are
Add N To (X)
Anathema
And you Will Know By Us The Trail Of Dead
Anthrax
Aphex Twin
Ars Nova
AT The Drive In
Built To Spill
Cure
Dredg
Emperor
Flower Kings
Guided By Voices
Iced Earth
Interpool
Joy Division
King Crimson
Kraftwerk
Liquid Tension Experiment
Mars Volta
Mr.Bungle
Night Wish
Ozric Tentacles
Porcupine Tree
Sigur Ros
Spocks beard
Symphony X
Tortoise
Translatinic

And some others lol, But I tihnk i ahve posted enoguh, those are in MY OPINION, some bands that dont sell out.

[QUOTE=Creeping_Deth]No one can see it but me? What the hell?[/QUOTE]
I've seen it, it's so funny......i wish the video would continue through the whole In My Time Of Need song.:p

I honestly don't care too much if bands sell out or not. If they write music I like, I'll listen to them.

Oh hey I just came here to post the same video clip!

[url]http://sambot.com/2005/11/professor-opeth.html[/url] (in case you want it from another site I guess)

I got the same Quicktime error but you can still hear it and that's all that matters. I don't know anything about Mikael Akerfeldt except that he is currently leading in number of nominations in the vocalists comp. Thought you'd like to know.

That's mostly due to the fact that he ****ing rules.

can anyone reccomend me some good opeth songs?

[QUOTE=-The Frank]can anyone reccomend me some good opeth songs?[/QUOTE]
Wreath
Drapery Falls
Bleak

Those are some good start off songs.

cool, thanks

Other good start off songs: Face of Melinda, The Moor, To Bid You Farewell.

The Leper Affinity to, I'd get that over Wreath, personally. Wreath isn't as ear friendly to the first listener.

[QUOTE=-The Frank]can anyone reccomend me some good opeth songs?[/QUOTE]
Bleak, The Twilight is My Robe, and The Moor should give you a good impression of how a typical Opeth track sounds like.

[QUOTE=Darkness Of Greed]The Leper Affinity to, I'd get that over Wreath, personally. Wreath isn't as ear friendly to the first listener.[/QUOTE]

I like it even more than Deliverance. I think the riff is awesome.

By The Pain I See In Others is a good one to start off with too.

Bwahahahaha...I don't get the video for this. :upset:

The audio is hilarious though..."Even though I'm not gonna try it, I want everybody to make the highest-pitched scream they can!" :lol:
