    Opeth forum will close down?

    Well this is a bummer. Like most here, I too enjoyed the information and thoughtful discussion. And, it was a place for me to go when I was unemployed and depressed. I always stopped in whenever I could to see what was going on. Also got to liking the personalities that came through with...

    How far have you travelled to a concert?

    Drove 7.5 hours to Boise ID to see Opeth. More than anything I just wanted to do a road trip. It's been 13 years or more. Also flew from Montana to Salt Lake to Chicago to see Opeth. 1200 miles. At the time, my wife worked at the airport and I got cheap tics and I slept on couches...

    So I'm starting a metal radio show...

    Yeah. The college station in Bozeman has a few 1 to 3 hours segments where they play some killer metal about 5 times a week, usually at night. It all depends on the DJ. You never know what they will play. But it's never mainstream. I think you can check them out on the web. www.kglt.com...

    A fucking blood clot!!!!

    Would have gone to that show if I didn't have to work. And that's two metal acts that crashed after playing in Mont. Motley Crew played here a few years back and something happened to the drummer and they had to postpone shows right after their Mont gig.

    Mastodon Thoughts?

    Gotta chime in and say that Mastodon is one of my newer fav bands. Altho Blood Mt and CTS don't sound as good to me as the early stuff. Granted I've only heard CTS once. Need to hear it on a good sound system to truly judge. One thing for sure, no one else sounds like Mastodon...

    The roots of heavy metal

    Very nice. Heavy music didn't just start, it evolved. Altho Black Sabbath can be credited with 80% if it all. Razor, I always enjoy reading your points of view. I've been going thru hell these last 8 months and haven't had much time to sit in front of a commputer. I miss the...

    Have you ever ran into any of the guys

    Before the Boise show I was walking around town with my wife and at first heard Mikael's voice, he was talking to Axe in Swedish. They had just finished dinner and an ale, out on the porch of this eatery. I couldn't pass up the opportunity. I jumped up on the porch, and not being your typical...

    Opeth Discussion

    Seems like this was posted here so people can rip on Opeth without getting ganged up on like they would at the main Opeth forum. Just my opinion here, but I like Opeth cuz they sound like nobody else. Truly epic songs. Great moments of beauty and brutality in almost all of their songs...

    Opeth - Summer festivals

    The answer for me... Hell yes!! Knowing the set list doesn't take away from one of my favorite bands playing my favorite music.

    Where were you when...

    I was blasting the generic metal on the XM station in my truck while blasting down the highway. Then they played Heir Apparent as it was new at the time. Later I heard Lotus Eater. I said to myself, Wow, who makes this kind of music? This is freakin great! I'll buy a cd if I like 2 songs...

    A new instrument?

    a LUTE!! This song needs more lute. I'm all about the lute. Seriously, I'd like to see more moog/mellowtron from Per on a few songs. Just to ad some mystry and intrigue.
