[QUOTE=IvortheEngineDriver]Been working and my band's been doing real well. Playin' a lot, just cut a demo...I took a semester off of school though, BIG BIG mistake. But anyway, what up with you?

Opeth rocks! :)[/QUOTE]

Ah, congratulations! And, yeah...ugh that's no good about the school part. I'm actually about 2 1/2 months away from my Bachelor's, should be nice. :) And, as evidenced by my profile picture and user title, I've become obsessed with Irish folk music & the Bodhran. :lol:

And, yes, Opeth does indeed rock. New album, US tour...wooo!

[QUOTE=IvortheEngineDriver]Anyone know if PT is going to tour with Opeth again like in 2002? Hopefully...god, I want to see both bands. If I can see PT, DT, Tool and Opeth...I could die happy.[/QUOTE]


that would be so awesome, but chances it wil ever happen again are tiny.

I'm going to see PT on 2th of April, but I stil have nu clue, who's supporting them :confused:

anyone knows?

I think the chance of a Tool + Opeth gig in the autumn or winter would be quite big.
it would be a dream gig.

I would do anything to see that!

I havent heard much Opeth, but the song 'to bid you farewell' is just beautiful.

^^

check out the blackwater park album for startes, you won't be sisappointed, I assure you

Opeth is a great band, and Mikeal (vocalist+leadguitar for Opeth) respects Tool very much.

and me; I respect both very much :)

Nice new avatar stranger. It's...different.

^^

haha, thanks, I know.
I thought, lets change the thing, I don't know why I choosse a carrot tho.
but it looks happy and colourfull, unlike the weather at the moment

wow, that was off topic :p

to give this some meaning.
I love Opeth

Me too.

Another thing, I heard Demon of the Fall for the first time today. Awesome. So good it hurts.

opeth = 4 gods!!!!!

soon to be 5 if the keyboardist stays.

hmm, maybe we should make an online petition for a tool/opeth gig, send it to different Tool and Opeth related forums, get many signatures, and send it to the bands, increase the chance of it:)

If you have the time, why not?

I know the guys in the band loved Lateralus, but I would love to hear some of Mike's influences. Because of Opeth, I got into Porcupine Tree and Anekdoten (both were on the band's playlist)

Although no one has really heard of Anekdoten, I think they are a great prog band, Gravity is one of my favorite albums (download The War is Over, its a beautiful song). I know Mike loves them...love for the Swedish Prog! ;)

Hey guys, Do you know if there are any Opeth song which have a radio edit version? I'm asking this cause I think I heard one of their song on the radio. Here are song lyrics from this song: (clean guitar) [I]Please remedy my confusion And thrust me back to the day The silence of your seclusion Brings night into all you say[/I] Then, (distorted guitar) [I]Pull me down again And guide me into pain [/I]

Thanx!

You heard "the drapery falls" off of Blackwater Park.

And yes, there is a radio edit of that song. It's about 6 minutes long(The full song is 10-12) and I heard it on a compilation called "Loud Music for Loud People". That was actualy my first experience with Opeth, and completely sold me on the band.

the radio edit has no growls ay?

A 6 minute version. That's a crime. 11 minutes or nothing at all.

[QUOTE=opeth_oasis]the radio edit has no growls ay?[/QUOTE]

Probably not. That would suck a lot.

[QUOTE=Ripper22]Probably not. That would suck a lot.[/QUOTE]
What's the point? Don't cheapen the song for the radio :upset:

I want them to play Deliverance on the radio...all 13 minutes :)

yes. long songs, uncut, no crappy radio edits, just the song in it's purest form.
if the song lasts 12 minutes, they should let it be like that.

the song needs 12 minutes to deliver it's lyrical and musical value to the listener.
radio edits are so wrong, it's like cutting the mona lisa in 2 parts, it would be worthless, but that's just my opinion.

I love long songs
I'm listening to ACOS now, 23 minutes of yummie'ness

I meant it would suck to have no growls....just in case you were confused. :)

first tourdate of Opeth is up:

27th may Vienna

not that I'm going, but they are touring at least, hope they come to Holand this summer

[QUOTE=Ripper22]I meant it would suck to have no growls....just in case you were confused. :)[/QUOTE]
I wasn't...that's what I was talking about

I have a friend who won't listen to any song over 7 minutes. Needless to say he doesn't like Opeth.

those people don't know what they're mssing :p

for me a 15 minute song seems to end in 3 minutes, I get so carried away,

All of my favorite songs are over 8 minutes so Opeth fits that bill just fine.

Nice, that means the new album will be out by then. :D

I love Opeth and Tool, but I started listening Opeth before Tool and I was hooked, thats all I listened to. Opeth Opeth Opeth. CD's here DVD there, Opeth was my life. Then Tool came along, first with Latelarus then Aenema then Undertow(Working backwards, very Toolish of me:) But this time i still listened to Opeth and Tool. Not just Tool. But this made me shove Opeth aside. and for this, I am really angry, I havn't been listening any Opeth for the last 6months, but I want to, but I just enjoy Tool, Dream Theater and Mars Volta a lot more.

Would still like to see Opeth live.The Tool/Opeth thing would make my life.

[QUOTE=4130]Nice, that means the new album will be out by then. :D[/QUOTE]

they're entering the studios in 2 days, on the 15th they will start recording :D:D:D

Tool toured with Meshuggah, so...maybe...it might depend on whether members of Tool listen to Opeth.

[QUOTE=amostbitterseason]Any news on track listings?[/QUOTE]


no , too bad there isn't.
but I'm sure it's worth the wait, keep a regular eye on theri site to keep informed.

Opeth already said they would love to tour with Tool. It could happen.
