Haha, my reaction exactly :p

Well, my plans for going fell through. My friend who I was going to go with decided not too, because he's kind of short on money, and his parents talked him out of it.

So....someone make me a bootleg copy! ;)

Cool, I'm just outside Edmonton.

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future]Bastage.

How do they play the acoustic parts of different songs live though, with only 2 guitars? :confused:

[/QUOTE]

Yes, when it recquires more than two guitars (for instance, Bleak) they help themselves with Per Wirberg, who makes some parts, and for acoustics they use clean electrics with acoustic pick-ups, I suppose, but they sound like clean guitar.

That's for the most of the songs that have a lot of leads and electric, but for a lot of songs out of Damnation they actually use acoustics.

EDIT: And by a lot I mean some.

I don't think they use acoustic pickups or channels or anything like that, they just set it to a clean channel. They should get those though, like during The Leper Affinity live for instance, the guitar (ton) sounds kinda crappy during the acoustic break.

I brought this up almost a week ago!

And Darkness wouldn't believe me :angry:.

Ugh I hate that guy! Haven't seen him in a while though.


What was it that you brought up? The acoustic pickup thing?

No, the Dark Tranquillity thing.

I just wanted some proof!


Geez... You suck.

[QUOTE=Dunkelheit509]Pictures?[/QUOTE]


Sorry it took so long to reply. I honestly would If I knew how to but I can describe it to you guys. In Lamentations, it's the exact same one they use to record (blue one) except I don't have Seymour Duncan pick-ups.

Ah, nice. Is that the one with birds flying across the fret board?

[QUOTE=Dunkelheit509]Ah, nice. Is that the one with birds flying across the fret board?[/QUOTE]

The very one. It is very nice and it better be for $3000!

I LOVE those birds... it mesmerizes me for some reason... but wow. $3000 is steep man.


More dates just added to the web site!

I paid $1300 used for my guitar...I couldn't fathom paying that much.

Although I do want one of those triple humbucker Gibson SGs...$3200. :mad:

I got Lamentations today, and watched 1 full song (Windowpane) and snippets of others. The band looks nothing like I thought they would...

Mendez's sideways headbanging put a smile on my face though.

I bought is because I knew this would probably be the last guitar I'll buy. Plus I've always wanted one.

HOLY CRAP OPETH IS PLAYING IN HARTFORD!!!!

My grandma lives 15 minutes away from Hartford...:eek: :eek: :eek:

Is it 18+?



To Cynic:
Hey, I didn't say it was a bad purchase, just a pricey one. :p

I'm attempting to find that out...

It's at a Webster Theatre though. :angry:

[QUOTE=Flynn]Yeah, The Drapery Falls is a great song. Don't you post on the Pantera Forums?[/QUOTE]

Negative, any reason for asking?

Can anyone recommend me some good Opeth? Preferably some of the heavier stuff. Im sure somebody has already done this but I didn't want to read through this entire thread. I've heard that they have a large variety of sounds and I've been interested in hearing more of their stuff.

Masters Apprentices is the first heavy song that springs to mind.
I'll let someone else list all the heavier songs...i cba :P

Watch it. Full. It's really worth it.


The best part has got to be the something after [I]Closure[/I] which sounds nothing like the album version... yep. That part.

And the d[size=2]o[/size]cumentary on the realization of the album, with Mendez' odd accent. :)

[QUOTE=milkman41]you forgot Bleak. silly billy.[/QUOTE]
Good thing to, that poor guy was at risk of hearing an average Opeth song.

I just been getting into Opeth the past few weeks. I have heard Still Life and GR so far and think they are a complete breathe of fresh air. Their melodic parts into furries are just so well done. Probrably doesn't mean much to old fans, but im liking Beneath the Mire alot right now. I hope they come to Cali this year. Have they played any songs off GR live? Since thats what I know, it would be nice to hear.

Ofcourse they have, it's like, their most popular record.


I saw The Grand Conjuration live before GR was even released. :cool:

NP Mellotron Scratch.

Beneath The Mire is great. Probably my fav off GR. :thumb:

That song starts off really weak, although it does get better. It's still probably the second worst on GR, after Hours of Wealth. THAT song starts off kind of nice and then just craps out and goes nowhere for the last 4 minutes.

I like Hours of Wealth. Possibly the last solo part drags, though.

Usually they play Ghost of Perdition, Baying of the Hounds and The Grand Conjuration live.

Have they played Beneath the Mire or Harlequin at all?

Get Blackwater Park next, btw, MrJack, matey.

Are you joking? The beginning of Beneath the Mire is the best part! :angry:

Those dissonant chords with the middle eastern riff are really cool, and it goes into a nice powerful progression. It has it's strong points, i'd rate it my 4th favourite track on the album behind Ghost of Perdition, Baying of the Hounds and Harlequin Forest.

I've heard a lot of people put down the lyrics in Harlequin Forest, but I don't think they're that bad. I think they fit in with the music really well. Plus, I love how it starts out with..."Into the trees.." It's probably my favorite song on GR. It's great musically.
