So why aren't they coming to SF exactly? Cause that, my friends, is retarded.

[QUOTE=PeEpHoLe_10]I could ****ing cry. I cant get Opeth tickets for their show in Sydney,until next wednesday because of me being poor and im pretty sure they are going to sell out. Give me sympathy people.[/QUOTE]
atleast they are coming to where you live. They are going to Va. beach a year after I moved from there and the they closest they are getting to MS. is in southern FA. Basically I won't be able to seem them at all.

I can't go to the VA show , no ride there. Its about an hour and a half away

Which sucks...

they are coming to where i live pretty soon but im poor and i cant drive and im probably too young :'(

they're coming here to L.A. in march and the concert is only about 4 blocks away from where I live- I can just walk there and the tickets are only $30 here

My mother picked up my tickets yesterday. :)

Paid for em to...


Edit: For those who wanted a show in Stockholm, Sweden, you got your wish.

I discovered that tickets for the New York show are actually still on sale!!!! As soon as I'm getting money I'm going. HELLO EVENING WITH OPETH!!!!!

YES! And I only have to wait 'til April, too. Plus they'll be the Roskilde festival, as well, and I'm probably going there to see Tool, then I can see Opeth one more time. Sweet!

Tool is touring again? Sweet!

**** theres a good chance i could see them next month F****** RIGHTS!!!

you guys recommend Tool ? If so tell me some albums that I can buy... never listened to them before

Tool albums? Just about everyones two favourites are Aenema and Lasteralus. Personally,mine is Lateralus.

hmm ty.

I tought this was an Opeth thread.

Tool is a great band anyways.

This thread does get back to Tool a lot...

Anyway, I've been listening to GR a lot lately, and it's reaffirmed my love for it :p I hope Opeth continues with this new sound, I think they could do a lot with it, and it'll be really interesting to see where it takes them.

i dunno, when i bought GR it was just 'cause i didnt own any opeth albums and it was a good price. i havent really gotten into the album as a whole yet, i listenend to the title track a sh[SIZE="2"]i[/SIZE]tload of times though :wave:

Title track? You mean Ghost Of Perdition?

[QUOTE=DuncMaster V2]Title track? You mean Ghost Of Perdition?[/QUOTE]

I think he means Reverie/Harlequin Forest.

Why do you think that?

I think Tool probably gets mentioned because even though there may not be much that is similar musically, there is a similar style in taking a form of music and taking it to a whole new level, to the point of being less a metal/rock act, and more of an art. imo.

[QUOTE=JamJar]I think he means Reverie/Harlequin Forest.[/QUOTE]
But the title most likely to be confused with Ghost Reveries would be Ghost of Perdition.

[QUOTE=Jude]But the title most likely to be confused with Ghost Reveries would be Ghost of Perdition.[/QUOTE]

I've just always though of Reverie/Harlequin Forest as the title track because of 'Reverie.' Bah, I dunno.

Technically there is no title track...

Maybe we should call Ghost Of Perdition the opening track.

[QUOTE=aphotic__713]Maybe we should call Ghost Of Perdition the opening track.[/QUOTE]
That's a no-brainer.

I think he's talking about Grand Conjuration.

I think he's talking about The Dirge of November

Sorry if that's been posted before; I'm not reading 359 pages of thread.

Opeth is coming to where I live this March. Yeah buddy!

APOLOGIES FOR THE CONFUSION EVERYONE :wave:

yes, i did mean ghost of perdition. i kept thinking of that as the name of the album for some reason

Damn, I lost. :(

That's ok, when I first got the album I kept mixing those two up. Tis indeed a good tune though :thumb:

yeah, i love how it just breaks in:

[SIZE="7"]"GHOST OF
MOTHER
LINGERING DEATH
GHOST ON MOTHERS BED
WHITE STRANDS ON THE PILLOW"[/SIZE]

i remember when i first listened to that it was blasting it in my mom's car while she went into the grocery store and there was an old woman sitting in the car opposite me. i don't think she liked it much :p

I had a similar experience, i remember i was trying to hear the intro because it was so goddamn quiet so i turned up almost all the way.
BLAMMO!!! old man nearly had a heart attack:eek:

Heh....I remember there being quite a few Dark Tranquillity fans in this thead, so I thought I'd mention that I just learned the intro to "Punish My Heaven" on my keyboard (playing the guitar parts). Quite a bitch! :lol: I've got it up to about 100 BPM (song is at 134), so I need to get my fingers moving a little bit quicker, but being that my first instrument is drumset, I was very proud of myself. :D

Forest of October is such a good song. Its my new fav. off of Orchid. yea.....

Wow, that's awesome :thumb: Did you find notes for it, or did you transcribe it yourself?

That's actually a really good idea by the way...you'd be able to do the harmonies for both guitars, and just think of what you could do with the music.

I used Guitar Pro. :p The main reason why I'm learning all of these songs is to train my ear to recognize melodies better. I've been focusing on melodies that really stick out in my ear and that I can sing back easily from memory, in order to connect what's going on in my brain with what's going on with my fingers. I've also been analyzing the music, figuring out what key it's in, what chords are used, etc. (Punish My Heaven is almost certainly in E flat Minor) For a guitar, the chords are usually pretty obvious due to the way the instrument is played, but on piano you have to do a little bit more thinking.

In some cases, you can do both harmonies, but I dunno about Punish My Heaven. :lol: Right now I'm doing those parts with two hands....reaching that bottom Bb would be a BITCH with one hand.
