Nah Rage n Opeth...

/Creams self.

That's an odd combination...

Does that make it bad?

No.

How the hell is Tool and Opeth some sort of match made in Heaven?

Well they are both progressive bands. Opeth is Extreme Progressive Metal and RATM is rap/rock.

And no, it's not bad, I use to be a huge RATM fan back in the day (take note of who has the most posts in the RATM thread). I'd love to see them live...

Both progressive bands? Still a bit vague? Don't see how their connected in anyway other than the fact that they're your 2 fav bands...

ANYWAY!! I hate when people talk about other irrelevant stuff in Official threads...

Theres a higher chance of Tool fans liking Opeth then RATM fans. You're only saying RATM and Opeth because their YOUR favorite bands. Now stop this pointless argument, please.

They did it back in 92/93, didn't they?

They at least played the same festival, and Maynard did the vocals on Know your Enemy. The bands knew each other, obviously.

Tool and RATM yes, but not RATM and Opeth.

I'd like to see Fragments Of Unbecoming and Opeth. I would pay serious cash for that concert. If Rage Against The Machine ever shared the same stage as Opeth, hell froze over.

If Rage ever got back together, hell froze over.


I've never heard of Fragments of Unbecoming... what genre?

What's with the Anti-Rage posts...

Melodic Death Metal. I've got a few songs from their latest album [I]Skywards - A Sylphe's Ascension[/I] I'll send ya if you want to check them out. Their new album will be released on the 24th of March along with Cannibal Corpses new album [I]Kill[/I].

Can someone please tell me if there is an age restriction on Opeth concerts?

There was one here in Portland... I didn't go.... I should have though... I don't remember any age restrictions...

Age restrictions go by venue... Most of the time, Where the booze is in relation to the crowd... and how much booze.

They've always seperated "minors" from the booze at all shows I've been to...

They have the bar where you can't go if your under 21.

[QUOTE=rhcp pman]Can someone please tell me if there is an age restriction on Opeth concerts?[/QUOTE]

It depends on the venue, buddy. A good idea would be to ring (or get on the website) of the venue that the concert you're going to is going to be held, and ask about age restrictions.

The one I'm trying to go to has a bar, but the age restriction is only 12+.

After all, we don't want anyone under 12 getting sloshed.

Heaven forbid young Billy get hammered and nail little Betsy.

Please don't say anything remotely similar to God Forbid in a sentence about a concert, I got stuck seeing them open for bands I love twice, and almost a third time, but I was too sick to see Anthrax :(.

I totally agree, I get chills every time on that part. I think I'll put it in, I haven't listened to Still Life in a few days. :)

I'll be seeing Opeth in February, can't wait.

I am desperately hoping I can see them in February. It basically depends on one dude.

Well I got Ghost Reveries the other day, and I thought that it was pretty good. I have to admit that some of it kinda bored me, but Ghosts of Perdition and The Great Conjuring were pretty good.

I take it people here don't exactly like GR. Why is that?

Because it's not like their other work.

I find it okay if you're in the mood. The intro for Ghost of Perdition is crushing.

Yes I agree. It's not exactly what I expected, but I do like Ghost Of Perdition. It's a great song, other then that, Ghost Reveries is my least favorite [B]O[/B]peth album.

Sure. [email]somebodysomeone509@hotmail.com[/email]

Thanks

I think the main reasons people don't like GR are:

Addition of keyboards, they are uneasy about this change. I personally am ambivalent about it--the keyboards work incredibly well at some points (the organs in GOP, BOTH, and the keyboard effects in TGC are all awesome) but the fact that they practically took over all the soft songs on GR I dislike. The soft songs just don't sound like Opeth.

The style is much more proggy and different from previous Opeth works.

And of course a pet peeve of mine, the padding of songs with boring, chugging, one-chord riffs. This happened once in a while on previous albums, but it happens ridiculously often on GR.

That said, GoP is still one of Opeth's best songs, and the rest of the album isn't bad either. It just lacks some of the magic of the previous albums--it's not even the music that's lacking, just the mood.

I agree, I really like Ghost Reveries. I'm not going to spend all day arguing with people because they don't think it compares to "old" Opeth.

Good points, Jude.

Sent. Vocals aren't quite there yet, I'm betting they will be decent on [I]Sterling Black Icon[/I], he's definately no Akerfeldt, but still decent. Ingo Maier tears it up on drums, he's ungodly. Enjoy. :chug:

allright i havent gotten into Opeth yet... which is weird, but what are their absolute BEST songs that i could get into?
