You will not be disappointed.

The best part about seeing them, for me anyways, I just got to be in the same building as Opeth. Mikael Is great with the crowd. He makes jokes, and talks to the crowd and stuff.

Yeah, being in the very presance of the band is just awesome. :)

If at all possible, get to the show early and get a rail spot. Being on the rail made it the most incredible concert of my life. *shook hands with Mikael Stanne*

*...and caught one of Peter's picks*

That is true...

/also shook with Mikael Stanne, and the guitar player.. the one with dreads... *name slips mind...*

Me too, but I shook peters hand instead catching his pick.
[QUOTE=Dunkelheit509]That is true...

His dreads were intense

Id rather Shake hands with someone than catch a pick. Unless the pick is signed of course:D

Martin Henrikkson?

I'd do both, if possible. Shaking hands obviously means meeting the guy, but a pick is something I'd be able to keep as a mememto.

seein opeth friday gonna be awesome

cant wait :grin: :lol:

nice ***

thx :smoke:

Can't believe I missed the whole 666th page. :upset:

You mean the badass? ;)

He originally played bass on the first few albums, and now does half of the guitar solos and leads. Gotta love the guy. Plus, he looks like he belongs in a sci-fi movie. :lol:

Well, when DT came to Chicago, I chatted with Mikael and Anders Jivarp extensively, so PFFFFFTTTT. :p

Oh man, from what I've heard Mikael Stanne is the nicest guy ever.

I have a newfound love for Ghost Reveries now. I never really listened to it as close as i did with the other albums and just assumed it wasn't as good. But now i'd say it actually is about as good as their other albums. Its just very different.

[QUOTE=ShadowsFallen]Martin Henrikkson?[/QUOTE]
That's correct.

And yeah Eleventeen, Mikael Stanne seems like an awesome guy. I could tell from the way he was talking to the crowd.

Its not a bad album at all, Its just more different than all the other opeth albums.
I loved maybe the 2nd or 3rd time i heard it.

Does anyone know if there are any videos on the internet of Opeth playing anything off of Morningrise, Still Life, or Blackwater Park? If so, could you post it on here. Thanks.

There was some video of them playing Advent and Godhead's Lament (as well as 3 later songs) at some festival. I can't seem to find the link though.

Search it on youtube if you havn't. I'm just saying this, I havn't searched it.

So thats the concept of that album....:eek:

its kinda dumb how popular opeth is now of days. they basically went from unknown to headlining summer festivals.

Yeah just last year i was introducing my friends to the bands .. Now days I dont have to ask anyone new I meet if they heard of opeth.




So ... I was thinking Whats opeths Worst/Least Best album?

doesnt worst mean least best? redundant?

Worst - Deliverance

Best - MAYH or Still Life

I know .. but when if I say only worst there will be some smart *** who says "they have no worst album". I just wanted to avoid that.

I dunno there are albums that I prefer over others, but I can't pin down a worst album.

Best would have to Morningrise for me.

yea, in lamentations mikael described morningrise as their best album. there are elements to every album i like.

maybe deliverance is better than ghost reveries.

Best album....extremely hard to say. My FAVORITE would be Still Life, but most of their albums are in the running. Worst would have to be Orchid...bad production, weak, amateurish, sloppy songwriting, acoustic parts far less interesting than even on Morningrise...yeah.

My opinion of which album is best is always in constant rotation, but lately I've been listening to Morningrise the least. I'm pretty sure that I like Orchid better than Morningrise (except for BRI)...

I don't know, this opinion will be invalid a week from now...

Still life, is my favorite album.


It's a damned story! I always spend the hour listening to the whole album, first to last.

It's an experience, not a CD.
