[QUOTE=Scruples]I wanna see Opeth live, too.

:upset:[/QUOTE]
Gahahaha! You fail. :D

I was going to see them...but tickets are sold out.

[QUOTE=toaster135]I'm suprised. I find Shadows Fall to be a pretty generic band most of the time. I used to be in love with them, but once I heard all the other bands who sounds similar to SF, I sort of grew bored (not to sound stuck up :p) with the whole scene. I just don't get what really sticks out about them.[/QUOTE]
Personal taste I guess. Most people say they sound similar to a lot of other bands, but I don't hear it. They sound really unique to me, I think their riffing style really stands out.

Anyway, I was playing Beneath the Mire earlier and I noticed how bluesy Mike's style is. It's not super-tech, but it's fun to play and has a great feel to it.

They are great live.. but the few times I have seen them, Lopez has been a bit sketchy. The intro to Deliverance always gets him foot-tied for some reason. Maybe I'm just unlucky, or have bad hearing.

Then see them with Gene. The mans a tank.

[QUOTE=Darkness Of Greed]Gahahaha! You fail. :D[/QUOTE]

But.. I wanna be a winner.

[QUOTE=ShadowsFallen]18+ shows are stupid. All they're doing is limiting their ticket sales. I don't see what the advantage is of keeping out people under 18, unless they freely pass out animal photographsography or something.[/QUOTE]

I don't know what's the point of 18+ shows, i went to all ages concert(Metallica) and it was boobs flying around and lots of swearing.Sometimes the town has his laws against the shows or something.

Well i haven't see Opeth live, but when i have the change i would be there.

Odd thing is though, me and my friends got into Gigantour fine, and we were like 14-15. And they had bands like Fear Factory and Dry Kill Logic, who's whole schtick was cursing every third word.

Portney cursed a few times as well...

It's not fair. :upset:

And then, the other concert i want to see in February (Nile, Decapitated, Hypocrisy, others) is all ages. :confused:

Weird. As. Hell.

Thanks alot Opeth, for ruining a few weeks of my life. :mad:

Or do I blame it on the concert hall...

The only way that will happen is if you go review the death metal songs... :p

I am almost sure the concert hall dictates these sort of things. It could have something to do with distribution of alchohol, if there is no designated area for the sale of alchohol I don't think people under the legal age can enter.

It's usually the town or the band.
I went to see Malevolent Creation, Origin, Animosity and others in a bar, i'm 16 and there was alcohol and beer, funny thing is if i asked a drink they would sell it to me....How i love Tijuana.

I'm pretty sure that's it. Even with designated alcohol areas, underage kids aren't allowed without guardians (although Webster Hall is an exception, being 18+, leading me to assume that it's nothing to do with alcohol). The Bitter End in NYC is a 21+ club--the only reason I was allowed in last year was because I was one of the performers. Same thing with the Living Room. The NYC hall where Opeth is playing, Webster Hall, is likely a place with a bar in back and a small dining promenade, and a hall floor for the bands. Generally speaking, the clientele of such establishments wouldn't care for little kids running around (and 15-16 is [size=2]dam[/size]n little to people 18+) and that's likely why the age limit.

[QUOTE]Oh man, I'm sorry. I live in a small, worthless town, and Shadows Fall was cool enough to come here twice for me to see them. It was amazing.

I'm a pretty big Shadows Fall fan, for those who couldn't tell. [/QUOTE]

And thats one of the reasons I like you bud :D. You know your metal but you are not like "Shadows Fall is metalcore rubbish" (which they are not) You are easy to get along with :)

With this 18+ desginated area and stuff. I recently went to a concert and people up top where only allowed to drink but they all came down. I was with two two pissed fellas up front and they cracked open a beer and then. "ohhh I don't want this you want it?" looking at me. It shows that nothing really matters with a 18+ and not 18+. I think Shadows Fall was made 18+ because all the gigs in my town are made in the Uni bar. WHich SUCKS. Because no bands come, and when they do its 18+!

Mik sounds so mean in Demon of the Fall. Its so cool.

Shattered your production is really bad. The guitar is so quite. Next time you do a comp, get me to play bass :)

He tore it up when I saw them. Sounded more intense then the CD song.

I know my production is bad...thats what a $40 iPod mic gets you. :p

We would've done bass, but NOTHING was in time...bass would've just made it harder to mix. Another thing to get screwed up.

huge Opeth fan here. Somehow missed the fact that they were in Vancouver on the 15th *smacks head*.

Opeth just flat out rules. Its that simple.

I'm sorry you missed the concert, I'd be so pissed...

I'm pissed I can't be allowed to go to the concert.

If I realized I could've gone and the date past, there's no telling what would happen.

Thanks a lot man. :) I love Shadows Fall, and I really get tired of the ongoing fighting over genres. SF is pure metal, and I hate having to deal with people constantly trying to tell me they're generic metalcore (which they're not). Music is music and I happen to like their's.

Mike: That mic cost you $40? :confused: I have a $15 mic for my computer and the sound is so clear it's unbelieveable.

I was listening to [I]Orchid[/I] this morning, and couldn't help but notice how badass the lyrics are on this album. I know the entire album by heart, both lyrically and guitars, but it just now hit me how intricate these lyrics are. I recommend listening to [I]Orchid[/I] tonight, and give me your feedback later on.


















[I]''blinded by a light, my soul it held up high in glory
I engulf the skies, the apostle in triumph
through the eternal flame I travel
as the rain keeps falling...''[/I]

Yea, but it's more of a voice memo microphone...

I hooked up one of my dad's external mics, and that made it sound like how it was for the comp.

I gotta figure out how to run a mic straight into my computer.

EDIT: Anybody that says Shadows Fall is generic metalcore should be kicked in the chin fat.

I agree. Orchid, al those years ago, was the first Opeth album I ever bought. I remember sitting in my room late at night listening to the music and reading the lyrics. It's a really underrated album.

EDIT: I agree with Shattered_Future.

I listened to Ghost Reveries recently; it still feels to me like Opeth peaked at Still Life and has been declining since.
