There are a couple of really awesome stores where I live now, where I can actually go in and rattle off a few names to the guys working there, and have them actually be able to discuss the band. It's awesome. Now if only they'd give me a job...

:lol:

I've got a couple of great cd stores near me, and one used book/cd/movie store where I get most of my cds for less then 5$. It takes forever to find anything though, because everthing's just crammed onto shelves, and very poorly alphabetized. They have tons of classic rock and country, but no Opeth. :angry:

[QUOTE=the2stranger]on one hand it's really cool to go to a cd store and ask a dude on the metal departemtn: do you have ..... and....... and ........
and he'll be like: :confused:

but on the other hand it sucks cause they don't have the stuff, and most won't order it as well :([/QUOTE]

I love stores when the ppl who work there know everything and everyband and as soon as you ask themn something, theyll bring you straight to it or tell you otherwise that they dont have any.

I have a funny story bout this but with shirts.

We were in the this store where the guy knew every band , even the underground death metal ones. He seriously knew everything. So then my dad asks him where the Deep purple shirts are...and hes like , Whos deep purple ?

That waas pretty funny...but the guy was a nice guy and was ok with us...

sry..this has nothign to do with Opeth.

:lol: Thats awesome..

I got ghost reveries yesterday, so far its's ok; Beneath the Mire, Ghost Of Perdition and Isolation Years are my favourites at the moment. But honestly, Atonement; I just don't get that song, it reminds me of Ambuletz by The Mars Volta for some reason :confused:

haha it's still funny though. I used to order my CD's from a store here in town called Musicland, later bought out by FYE. And everytime my CD came in, and I went to get it, the kid over the counter would always have some ignorant remark about the CD I ordered. For example, when Orchid came in, I went to pick it up and he looked at the cover and laughed ''that's creative, a daisy on the cover...these guys sound like crap by the way.'' I just smiled as I pulled the 20 out of my wallet and replied ''It's an Orchid, hence the album title.'' Got my CD and left. It didn't bother me, he was wearing a dirty blink 182 t-shirt.

That song is so awesome, probably my favourite on the album.

Wow, what an as[SIZE="2"]s[/SIZE]. I hate it when the guys at cd stores pick up something that looks like what I asked for, but isn't and then expect me to buy it. For example, at HMV I asked if they had Opeth's Ghost Reveries, and the guy goes over to the rack, comes back with Otep, and scans it into the computer or whatever. So when I say it's not the right album, he puts up this huge fuss, gets the manager to fix the machine, it must have been 15 minutes.

Oh ok thanks.

What an idiot. You even said Ghost Reveries and he still brings you an Otep CD? He should be jobless.

Probably didnt want to look stupid. But it didnt really work.

Ehh, BTM is my least favorite on GR...well, the second part of Hours of Wealth (after the instrumental intro) would be lower than it.

NP: demo version of Trains

Anyone else get a strong urge to introduce everyone they meet to Opeth? I just want to share their greatness.

I would've killed him. F[SIZE=2]u[/SIZE]cker. Nobody stands between a man and his Opeth.

Well said, my friend.

Yea sharing bands is great and all but then i get angry when the person starts to love the band. I dunno why.

Yeah, but Porcupine Tree.

Hey Flynn, did you once post in a thread telling people about Fragments of Unbecoming?

How many songs are on My arms, your hearse?

Because I have 2 un-named tracks

[QUOTE=FlyingPaul_83]How many songs are on My arms, your hearse?

9. But you must have the version with the 2 bonus tracks. 1 is ofCeltic Frost's Circle Of The Tyrant and the other is Iron Maiden's Remember Tommorrow. It's awesome with the bonus tracks.

awesome, thanks man.

I'm loving the album by the way.

Does anyone have a good picture of the morningrise album cover? I googled it and all the pictures are really small.

[QUOTE=ShadowsFallen]Hey Flynn, did you once post in a thread telling people about Fragments of Unbecoming?[/QUOTE]


Yes. I made a few threads about them. Why what's up?

Crap...isn't that the band you told me to check out a few weeks ago? I've had some of their songs sitting around on my computer unlistened for a little while.

/listens

[QUOTE=Flynn]Yes. I made a few threads about them. Why what's up?[/QUOTE]
I'm just wondering. I finally found [I]Skywards[/I] a few days ago and I can't stop listening to it. Great stuff. I thought I remembered someone putting me onto them but I wasn't sure.

Didn't he say something about 20 bucks?

I have the My Arms Your Hearse with the bonus tracks. And I have to say it kills the flow for me. Which leads me to my next question, which Opeth album flows as one?

Yes Still Life is a concept album but I can't distinguish where Moonlapse ends and Serenity Painted Death begins. However with MAYH, I can link pretty much every song beginning to end.

[QUOTE=Darkness Of Greed]Didn't he say something about 20 bucks?[/QUOTE]
Yeah. He said he'd pay 20 bucks if we didn't like it.

Yeah it's a good record. :) I listen to it almost every day. I can't wait for Sterling Black Icon.

[QUOTE=Kage]

There's no ''we'' It was one person, you were not involved. And you know it's a good album.

Huh? What are you talking about, you said that to me.

So did you buy the CD?

Yeah.

[QUOTE=Kage]Yeah.[/QUOTE]


Cool. So you want your money? Even though I know you like the album.
