There's lots of things I'll remember about this forum. As well as lots of things learned. I got great tips on how to record music at home ! Sadly I suck as a musician, but I still enjoy messing around Best of all I've come across many great bands thanks to the fellow forumites. Mostly...

Did anyone hear Mikael make mention of Enslaved or Grutle say anything about Opeth during their live performances ?? At the Boston show I don't believe either of them said a word about the other band. Isn't this part of touring 101. I'm not sure if I've ever seen that at a show ? Usually the...

Prior to seeing Opeth live back in September I read that Freddie was playing a solo at the end of Hope Leaves. Modifying what was already IMO a perfect song & the best of Damnation worried me. I've already seen them perform this during the Damnation Tour. It was great then. Shockingly the...

Nothing really new here, except for one obvious error that's kind of funny ! ______________________________________________________________ R E V I E W S Opeth Watershed Company: Roadrunner Records Release: 2008 Reviewer: IcedMojo Genre: Progressive death Rating 5 #...

Well Watershed has finally been released to the masses & we've all had plenty of time to digest. By now I'm sure we all have our list of favorite songs from the album. In the coming months Opeth will embark on their headlining tours. In the past following a new release, they typically perform at...

Amongst my favorite Opeth moments are the extended outro's of such songs as Deliverance & Harlequin Forest. Watershed has some great ending riffs (Heir Apparent, Hex Omega) but I wanted more. Hex Omega especially has such a great ending. Personally I wish it lasted another minute or so...

Last time Opeth played in Boston someone gave Mike A Red Sox jersey which he wore while performing. Unfortunately, I wasn't there but it was posted. Wednesday afternoon I heard something that shocked me. Sox were playing a day game & I was listening on the radio. When the announcers return...

I know this is old news, but the end result still kind of surprises me. I'm sure many of us were hoping they would tour the world one last time. Unfortunately, it's not to be. Not even $100 million pounds could persuade Plant into giving all the fans a final send off. Yet, they remain one of...

I'm sure we've all seen our fair share of concerts. Over the last 15 or so years I've seen quite a few. Some are so-so, some are good & then there are the concerts that leave you salivating for more. What makes a band stickout during a live performance ??? Is it that you know & adore every...

Recently I've found myself listening to alot of Type O Negative. Several years ago this was one of my favorite groups. I always liked their rock,goth,erotic,vulgar sound. They may not be the greatest musicians, but I thought they were masters of their genre. Recent releases have been...

I haven't done much research on this, but I'm hoping you guys can help me out. I'm looking to record some of my guitar licks & drumming & then synch them together. Can this be accomplished easily ?? It doesn't need to be professional quality. I'm wandering what kind of equipment I'd need...

It amazes me that Opeth has been around for 15 years. Most bands start falling apart at this point of their progression. Alot of them never make it to that point. Some of the more successful bands put together a "Greatest Hits" record. Of all the bands I listen to & follow, I can't think of a...

Just finished listening to this album. I haven't played it in a long time. Not that I don't like it (I do) but lately I've been into the heavier Opeth albums. Is it just me or is "Hope Leaves" the best track on the album ? To be honest, I had completely forgotten about this song. I love the...

I've always wondered how much thought a band put's into the final track of an album ? Alot of bands will put the best song at the end. Others the most creative song. Others just use fillers. Opeth always has a great ending track. Epilogue, BWP, White Cluster, Isolation Yrs, BTPISIO & To Bid...

What if one of your favorite bands announced a member or all members were homosexual ??? I'm sure some might of had this dilemma with Priest. Would you still support the band ? Would it change your interest in them at all ? I'm sure there are many of them in the Metal scene who remain in...

I'm up around 5:30 in the morning & typically play my 1st Opeth song on the way to the gym. Then while I'm working out I listen to my MP3 player which always includes an Opeth song or two. On days that I don't work I always get up & blast Deliverance while I'm in the shower. It has been a very...

Well it's been 8 months since we've seen Martin perform live & I'm wondering if we'll ever see him again ? I understand he has a medical condition & I wish him a full recovery. A man's personal health & well being should be his top priority. Based on the transcript of a recent New Haven...

Since joining this forum I've noticed a bunch of people have never seen Opeth live. This made me think of what bands I wish I could have seen most. There are 3 bands that come to mind for me. #1 Pink Floyd --- Please do a World Tour --- #2 Doors w/JM #3 Alice in Chains w/Layne

I'm torn between a few of them. I'll have to say "Arriving Somewhere But Not Here" by Porcupine Tree 1st "Harlequin Forest" 2nd "Final Product" by Nevermore 3rd
