I got a Ghost Reveries hoodie yesterday!!

GR = My fave Opeth album.

My Opeth shirt that I have is a Ghost Reveries one, even though it's one of the albums I listen to the least. It just looks so cool. :)

Which GR shirt do you have Thor?
I have the one with the icons on the back and the candles on the front.
I also have a BWP shirt.

I have the shirt with the classic logo in front and the bands pic on the back. I need to buy some more, that shirt is getting old :(

I have the Ghost Reveries shirt and the Ghost of Perdition shirt. \m/

I've got - Ghost Reveries Tour 2005 shirt, Deliverence T, "Year of Our Lord 2003" Longsleeve and Deliverence Long sleeve. I really want a Damnation T or Longsleeve, but they're hard to come by, and when they are available they seem to be dear.
I'll splash out soon tho'

I have a Ghost Reveries shirt and a signed Lamentations shirt. :cool:

/holds shirt protectively close to bosom

I never wear it though. Never even washed it. It's hanging on my wall, actually. :p

Like a relic!
Cool that you have it though, How were the guys from Opeth when you met them?

Very cool. We talked about the "new album" (GR), Mikeal was very proud of it. Mikael and Peter signed it.

Yeah I've heard that Mikael is incredibly nice to fans.

And would make a good stand-up comedian. :lol:

I just have that one as well. I want either BWP or the Still Life, Still Death one.

Random Fact: I use to almost hate The Grand Conjuration, i thought it was boring, repetitive, and just musicianship. I don't know why but i really like the song now. Its more of a song just to jam out to than to just relax and enjoy it (imo).

Whole of GR is still avarage to me. :-\

Cool, I have a signed GR shirt from Mikael from when I met him. :cool:

I also have a setlist signed by the whole band, from the same time. :D

I don't have any Opeth shirts. One of the only bands that I love without having a corresponding shirt. :(

I dont have any band shirts at all.

I have maybe 10.

No, not that many. Let's see...7 or 8.

Opeth shirts? or just band shirts?

Oh, sorry. Just band shirts. I have one Opeth shirt, working on getting another one.

Oh I see.... Ive always wanted an opeth shirt.

F[size=2]u[/size]ck.. that is great!

I only have a Ghost Reveries shirt.
The one with the candles on it.

I'm having a dilemma though.. I can't seem to get into Orchid or Morningrise at all! I get so bored and the songwriting really s[size=2]h[/size]its me to tears.

Can someone give me directions at what to focus on and what makes you think these albums are fantastic(or at least good!)?
It's like I listen to these albums and I don't mind them, but, every other release is so much better..and also I'm thinking maybe I just don't 'get it' when it comes to those albums. :/

Its pretty much just an assortment of cool parts for me.

You just said pretty much word for word what I'd say about those two albums.

I'd like to see Overkill, Lamb of God, Opeth, and Megadeth. Other than that it sucks though.

They're more "progressive" than Opeth's other albums. The shifts in timing and tictures are much more abrupt and dramatic. I guess what makes it good in my eyes is that, unlike later Opeth, the songs are less predictable. Every song is packed full of great moments and melodies and you never know where a song will go. The acoustic parts especially make the albums for me. I can't really talk you into liking it, you'll just have to give it time yourself. Orchid is my favorite Opeth album.

[QUOTE=the2stranger]Whole of GR is still avarage to me. :-\[/QUOTE]
I used to really like it, but now I can't even listen to it.

I only have the Blackwater Park shirt, with the album cover on front and the band picture on the back. It's pretty sweet, but too small. Better too small than too large though.

I agree with you completely.

I'd go with [I]My Arms, Your Hearse[/I] or [I]Still Life[/I] as my favorite though :D.

More structure than the first two, less predictability then the later ones.

I love my Still Life tee. :D

I got one other from their '06 tour too...

And I have come to the conclusion that To Bid You Farewell is one of the most emotionally moving songs ever. It's absolutely stunning.

opeth sucks

Yeah it is.

I know this is horrid blasphemy, but me and my friends always used to get high and freestyle rap over the intro of [I]To Bid You Farewell[/I] on the way home from school.

Morningrise has really long songs on it so that might be why? Really long for Opeth so you know they are LLOOOOONNNNNGGGG. So maybe thats why? Orchid I have never heard though so I cant help you with that.

Long songs are the best, more yumminess.

Not "really long for Opeth"... the only longer than average song on Morningrise is Black Rose Immortal...

[QUOTE=Eleventeen]Yeah it is.

Hahahahahahah

I can just imagine the lyrical genius flowing forth from a bunch of stoned white boys from a small town in PA!

Hahaha, it was just fun, nothing too serious... we were all extremely bad... I can make stuff up as I go along screaming, but I can't rap for all it's worth.

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future]I love my Still Life tee. :D

I have that one too. :thumb:

Wow, totally ment to say shirt, not sh[size=2]i[/size]t.
