[QUOTE=Kage;13398160]I've never had a metal song give me so many shivers as when I saw Deliverance live, both when I was there and on Lamentations![/QUOTE]

The first time I went I was pretty far back during the entire concert. But the second time I was right up front, and Deliverance was insane! The show was great but Deliverance owned us all, it was majestic.

I might go see Opeth.

[QUOTE=Knifeboy;13398910]Have any of you guys heard Steel - Heavy Metal Machine?

I'm listening to it now, and it's absolutely hilarious/awesome[/QUOTE]

Swano's voice in that cracks me up every time.

Haha this is bad/funny :lol: I like the copy and pasted drum parts though :p

Steel is good for a laugh, but Mike plays some really cool riffs and solos.

[QUOTE]Gigantour talk[/quote]

At my show, they only played
GoP
TLA
Windowpane
Deliverence


I was pissed that they quit playing GL after the first few shows.

I was up in arms with the omission of GL as well.

I'd seen the other four live already. I yelled "Godhead's Lament" right before the second song. I was in the third row right in front of Bass. He laughed when I yelled it.

I hadn't seen Windowpane or TLA live, so both of those were pretty freaking awesome, but yea, Godhead's Lament would have made the night absolutely perfect.

Definitely. I caught Glen Drover's pick, and got recognition from Bass, Glen, and Dave so I was a happy pater.

I'm seeing Opeth at Gigantour today! can't wait... :chug:

Hope no one in here is in South America. They just cancelled all of their dates there.

Yeah, that sucks for people there.

It's good news for me because that hopefully will cut down on the time inbetween now and the new album!!!

I'm so pumped for it.

Yeah they need to get recording. They have spent over a year or something touring which is awsome I want to hear a new album.

It's not so awesome when all they do is tour and never come near you. :upset:

Has it been a year already? Wow.

Really I don't think a year is a really long time. I do see why the should have to release anything anytime soon. Personally I would rather have them take abit longer and record another Still Life, than rush it and record another Ghost Reveries.

Screw that, GR is awesome.

And Kage, how'd you get a big avatar?

Did you guys hear about the special edition? I hate special editions. That's record company city. Ugh.

I agree with you.
I'm no fan of GR. :-\

You guys are crazy, GR is amazing...
Mikael's vocals on that album range from disturbingly evil, to hauntingly beautiful..

This.

Ghost Reveries isn't a terrible album but it is very easily their worst album, and I think it was because ever since Black Water Park hit it big they have been in and out of the studio way to much and because of this I feel the song writing has suffered. They need to lock themselves in their tour bus for a god year and a half and just write songs, lots of them, thats the only way they are gonna get back to something everyone can love.

Indeed, it's not a bad album. but it's their weakest release imo and it lacks in the songwriting.
And it doesn''t have Wilson on production. :'(

Well, saw Opeth at Gigantour last night. I was really disappointed actually. Nowhere near as good as when I saw them headlining last year. They just seemed very tired.

They played:
The Grand Conjuration
The Leper Affinity
Windowpane
Deliverance

Seeing TGC again was also a bit of a letdown. But at least they weren't nearly as bad as Lamb of God.

They need to get off tour...and fast.

I would never pay money for something like Gigantour, the idea is good, but I think it's a disgrace that the band sonly get to play so short. (I know Opeth has long songs, but still. :p)

When I saw them live I really disliked the Grand Conjuration, but I really dislike it on the album as well. I don't think Opeth really have good enough set lists. They always pick songs that sound good on the albums but aren't meant to be live songs, like Under The Weeping Moon and The Amen Corner.

EDIT: Silly Gigantour, you only get 4 songs, whereas I got 11.
