Last time they came, it was in a club. They stamped peoples hands if you were over 18(eiter that or 21). So at the bar in order to get a drink , you had to show your stamp.

That's actually a very clever idea, I hadn't heard of that before.

Dye your hair gray, put on some makeup for some fake wrinkles, and they might not ask for your stamp. However, I'd be too busy jerking off to Mikael to get drunk.

I'm just hoping for the hand-stamping thing. I'd do the old man disguise, but you don't see many middle aged men who are 5'5. :p

I doubt theres any middle aged men at an Opeth gig Period :p
Meh, i could be very wrong.

I dunno why it would be over 18 now and not last time if they come back here. So im nto to worrying with that.

Well, there's at least five middle aged men at every Opeth concert.

Cowboy, actually. Born and raised in Las Vegas, NV. I get exemption from North/South stereotypes.

/feels like a noob

I didnt even know the band had 5 members. I thought they still had 4.

I was just joking around, I think the whole North/South prejudice thing is stupid. I probably would be considered a redneck by most of you though, I'm an avid Nascar fan and go coon hunting in my free time.

Yea this guy Per Wiberg joined this year but I only know his name. Plays guitar I imagine?

I think Per's a true part of the band now. Doesn't that make five?

I was kidding anyway, no offence meant. :)

Per plays keyboard.

Ah dont worry i wasnt offended. What does he do though ?

You have an internet connection, therefore you get exemption from being a redneck. I don't need Foxworthy's redneck dictionary to understand your posts, and you listen to Opeth.

If your computer was in your truck, I needed to bust out the redneck dictionary, and you listened to Garth Brooks, classifying him under Rock & Metal, yes, the bashing would begin.

Believe me, I harbor no hard feelings towards people from the South. I've been coon hunting with my relatives before. Yanks, however, are a bit jumpy and hyper for my tastes in people.

Keyboards, sorry for double post.

[QUOTE=FuryInArt]Keyboards, sorry for double post.[/QUOTE]

Ah okay.

/random thought...So im realy enjoying me Morningrise.

[QUOTE=toaster135]Quoted for undeniable truth.

Sadly, I think the show near me might be at a nightclub.. I might not be able to get in. What's the age restriction regarding nightclubs?
[/QUOTE]

That depends on where the show is. If it's in Alberta, Manitoba or Québec, it'll be 18, and everywhere else in Canada it's 19.

[quote=Musical_Nerd]Yea this guy Per Wiberg joined this year but I only know his name. Plays guitar I imagine?[/quote]

Nope, he plays the keys...I'm guessing they think two guitarists are enough :p

It's good to know. And I know what you mean, I have relatives in Michigan. ;)

[QUOTE=StormRider331]/random thought...So im realy enjoying me Morningrise.[/QUOTE]

I've been listening to it a lot lately, it's probably my favorite by Opeth.

Morningrise is sadly my only Opeth album. I want to learn TheNight And The Silent Water. Printed out the tabs but havnt started learning it yet.

Then if i want, il attempt learning Balck Rose Immortal. I like learning realy long songs.

My favorite is [i]Orchid[/i[, followed closely by [i]Damnation[/i], which I will be using to go to sleep right now. See you in the morning, all.

[QUOTE=Stormrider331]Then if i want, il attempt learning Balck Rose Immortal. I like learning realy long songs.[/QUOTE]

Good luck with that, that would be quite an accomplishment.

I can't remember who it was, but a regular in the thread tabbed out BRI in it's entirety with standard notation as well as tabs. It was pretty awesome.

Thanks man. I couldnt find any powertab of it though...which sucks.
I hope i could pull it off too.

It was Cain.

[QUOTE=Flynn]Why should it sound medieval? I think it's fine the way it is.[/QUOTE]

I didn't say it should. But I [b]am[/b] annoyed that Mikael said there was going to be one album focusing on Opeth's heavy side, and another focusing on their lighter side. Instead they make one focusing on their heavy sound and lighter sound and another focused on another sound completely. So they made one album of Opeth's sound (focusing neither on heavy or light) and another album focusing on Porcupine Tree's sound.

It's a decent album, but Opeth clearly aren't meant to play that british, almost "brit-rock" or whatever-you-call-it style. DAMN YOU STEVEN WILSON.

...that being said, To Rid The Disease and Closure are classic songs.

Deliverance was pretty heavy though.

I see your point, and even though I disagree, I've gotta hand it to you for going against the grain with your opinon.

Still, Wreath and Deliverance are easily two of their heaviest songs ever.

There is one song on Damnation that is 100% old school opeth, I think: Closure. Very "medieval" if you will. Lot's of chromaticism and tritone sorta stuff. Incredible to play. And those tabla drums...*drool*:amaze:

Yeah, Damnation wasn't as acoustic and classical as I would have liked it, but it's still a great album. And Deliverance is definitely the heaviest Opeth album.

I don't understand why there is so much GR bashing...is it just because Opeth tried something new? I personally enjoy that album very much, especially Ghost of Perdition and The Grand Conjuration. I love it when bands try new sounds, even if it's not to the best of their ability. They just need some polishing up with that new sound of theirs.
