    Opthe newbie advice

    The first Opeth album I heard was Damnation, and for some inexplicable reason, I didn't like it. The first album that really hit me and converted me to Opethism was Ghost Reveries. Then I think I went into BWP, which was extraordinary, then Deliverance/Damnation. Didn't like Deliverance at...

    Opeth Tourography?

    Hey all. I know that bootlegs are pretty much forbidden on this site, but I am a bootleg trader/collector (don't ask for my site, I'd rather not be banned :Saint: ), and I have a few Opeth shows, but no tracklists or locations. Does anyone know of a detailed tourography? I've contacted the...

    As a Mac user, I don't have access to PowerTab. Would you be so kind as to provide me with an HTML export? Would be truly awesome. PM for email. James

    Complaint Department

    You know what annoys me? People who whine about what other people say. That's my complaint.

    When will Opeth go to Korea or Viet Nam?

    Be aware that Opeth has very little say in where and when they play. They go where they're label sends them, which is determined by which promoters will front the money to bring the band in. So if promoters in your area aren't willing to put up money to bring Opeth to town, the label won't...

    I've done that on occasion with some of my stuff. It's rare, but every so often, you just hit that take. I'm not surprised at all that Mike hit it in one take. It's a fabulous song and it draws you in immediately. Once I can nail down the chords for the end, I'll be covering it.

    Most Intense Opeth Song?

    Deliverance. Everytime that song comes on my iPod when I'm working out, everything gets amped up for the entire song. I bike faster, I walk faster, I lift faster... That song gets me so fucking pumped.

    getting drunk to opeth

    I disagree. If there's one thing I can't stand about going to concerts, it's the obviously drunk guy right behind me that's being a total jerk, could care less about the music, and is generally just being extremely annoying, and tends to ruin the experience for me. Don't get me wrong, I...

    getting drunk to opeth

    Meh. I don't like getting drunk to music, because I'm a loud happy drunk, and I could never pay attention. Now, were we to talk about other recreational enhancements that were, say, the color of green... Now we're talking!

    Hours of Wealth

    Love the song as well, one of my faves from GR. Does anyone happen to know the chords being played behind Mike's vox and the solo? I know the entire intro bit (still need to practice it more), but I haven't been able to figure out what the chords are for the rest. But yeah, definitely a kick...

    First post (and Opeth cover)

    Okay, I've scoured the net and all the tabs I've found show that the chorus goes C, B7, Em, Cadd9, C. Could you tab out the chord I'm missing? As soon as I can get this cover finished up, I'll begin work on Death Whispered A Lullaby. My ultimate goal is to cover all of Damnation.
