I'm going to see Opeth on Tuesday (28th)... it's going to be hilarious because the place they are playing at just turned into a country bar called Cowboys.

So yeah... Opeth Tuesday!!! Yee haw?

That will be hilarious. Some country fans will come in for a hoedown (spelling?), but will instead be treated to the lovely sounds of opeth.

Man, I hope they intro with something really heavy. Like Deliverance... :p

Yeah, or Karma. The intro is ungodly heavy.


[I]
N.P. Karma ~ Opeth[/I]

I now see why people consider Opeth the greatest band on Earth. Still not there in my book, but it's in my top 10.

Oh, by the way, anybody who goes to the concert, be prepared for a night of comedy and kickass music.

Setlist (somewhat in order...):
Ghost Of Perdition
White Cluster
The Amen Corner
Baying Of The Hounds
Under A Weeping Moon
Closure
The Grand Conjuration
The Drapery Falls
Deliverance (encore)

Setlist still leaves something to be desired though...

Whoa, no Demon?

Weird.

I do wish they would play Blackwater Park as the encore though. It's probably the best encore song they have.

^^ Yeah, or In Mist She Was Standing. I love the outro in that song and would definitely love to see them play it live.

GR has really been growing on me as of late. I've not been listening to much of Damnation and more of the heavier stuff.

I think it's not that Opeth is the "best band in the world". I think the most people(fans of all genres) can all enjoy Opeth and agree on that.

Fans of all genres can, but a lot of death and black metal elitists say that Opeth is poser music etc., I say those kids are homos.

There's nothing watered down or scene following about their music at all.. haha.

Just mention that you like Opeth in the black metal thread, or try talking about them in the death metal thread (they're much less elitist there now). Try mentioning them in Metal Archives.

Yeah, I'll be there too, if I can shake this fever in time.

Opeth are really taking a critical beating from some circles, especially after GR. Check out the reviews of some Opeth on Metal Archives. (to above post)

Yeah, it's really irritating, kids on Metal Archives [I]always[/I] mention that Opeth is either too popular, too forced, not true enough, too repetative, too unoriginal, too bland, or all of the above CONSTANTLY.

Woah, those are some strange song choices. I've never heard... 5 of those songs live, it's gonna be amazing!

I have to point this out. I love the outro to The Night and the Silent Water. Especialy where Mikael comes in.

[QUOTE=Toaster]Woah, those are some strange song choices. I've never heard... 5 of those songs live, it's gonna be amazing![/QUOTE]

Yea, they took out a bunch of fan favorites in favor of others...

I have to say though, those songs that weren't usually played live were excellent.

[QUOTE]For some reason I always envisioned metalheads to be nicer guys. Sure, you can be a badass. Listen to the most extreme music ever written, walk around in black with bullet belts and long hair, flaunting some obscure band on your shirt. I love the metal image. But when people expect metal guys to be very cold, inconsiderate people I like to prove them wrong. No negative behavior should be permanently attached to a genre of music. It's always funny to surprise people by dressing like a stereotypical metalhead and then turning out to be a very polite person.[/QUOTE]

God you think exactely like me. It good to know Ben ;) I am the only extreme metalhead at my school and everyone just thinks its funny beacuse I am viewed as a really nice guy. I also don't look that metal I am growing my hair but I am hardly metal looking yet.

Sometimes I wish I actually knew guys from MX to form a metal band with :(

Can't wait Opeth in two months.

Bunch of my friends are metalheads...you wouldn't tell it by looking at them, but they're some of the nicest guys you'll ever meet.

I like to scare people with my looks (it's always fun) and then completely shatter their notions of what I'm supposed to act like by being nice and courteous.

I went through a 'goth' stage and since then people keep telling me im satanic.Now i back to jeans and band t-shirts. but is fun to scare people. In my geometry class i hoked my mp3 player to the computer speakers and played 'Master's Apprentices'. Their looks were pricless.The only ones who liked it were me and my guitarist.

But like you said, most of the metal heads i know are good guys.You can listen to Opeth and still open a door for someone.

Heh...I'm actually pretty "normal" looking. I only own 2 band shirts, and wear those very infrequently. People who find out that I listen to metal are usually pretty shocked...which is kinda nice in a way. I don't like people having a preconceived notion of who I am.

I must be the least metal looking person in R&M, I wear Rappers clothing lines. Gotta look good for em ladies in my town.

But i did go through a goth stage about a year and a half ago, Wearing a load of chains, bracelets, Black Clothes. I kinda thought i seemed too poser so i just dress the way i like to look.

I have medium - longish hair, only wear black band t-shirts, and jeans... I'm a freak. :upset:

Your pretty much a basic metal guy. Theres lots of people like you. dont feel bad. :P

I actually don't mind that title, as long as I'm not sterotyped with the posers... which aren't in short supply here.

I barely know of any posers that wear band t shirts. The only way i can lump you in with the posers is if you listen to "poser" music. I dont want to state any bands because i respect every band. Except Limp Bizkit.

Man, Ive heard so much about Demon Of The Fall, yet i haven't bothered listening to it.Finally did. I've been missing out.

I just got tickets to see [B]O[/B]peth on March 4th in Minneapolis at First Avenue. I can't wait.

Although rather overrated.

You learn to appreciate it when you see it live. :)

What is the title of this thread meant to mean?

"Look your last upon the sun"
Everytime I read this something inside me dies because it sounds so stupid.
Should it be read as 'Look, your('re) last upon the sun'
Or 'Look your last (insert words/meaning here) upon the sun'

;\

Y(H)elp..!~

To add more to the post..(if there isn't a singular meaning).. what does everyone else make of these words?

EDIT: The Funeral Portrait > Demon Of The Fall *run/hide*

Oh God, after pit one day, my friend and I plugged an amp into an outlet out in the hall and started playing Master's Apprentices on guitar and bass. I started singing right as an Asian chick walked by.

Long story short, she starts moving rather quickly as she goes by. :p

Look Your Last Upon The Sun is a common Opeth saying. It's on a bunch of their shirts and whatnot.

I bought a Still Life tee at the concert. *sexy* :cool:

I take it you're none to familiar with the english language? In layman's terms it would be something like "Take your last look at the sun",

This is true. Believe it or not, it's even more evil live.

haha exactly, thanks Det_Nosnip.
I saw also.

invisiman: Hi, thanks for your borderline 'kill-that-n00b-according-to-posts' account of the meaning. That was funny. But only because you fvcked it up and someone pointed out how much you fvcked it up. Die.

So .. OK.. there's a silent 'Take' on the title!? (invisiman style'zzzzzz)

Or..
Are these lyrics of any song?
I heard (vague memory) that they were on an Opeth shirt?

All I wish to do is to give myself greater understanding as to why it is there and what it means.

The saying is on some Damnation era T-shirts, one of which I own. :)

You can also get those back patch things with it on there also.

Way to overract towards someone who answered your question.

[QUOTE=Knifeboy]Way to overract towards someone who answered your question.[/QUOTE]

I react in such a way when someone says something ridiculous about me not knowing the language I speak when they could simply just answer the question without resorting to such assumptions.

Is that so bad?
