If anyone has any morbid curiosity in seeing just how distorted the general public's vision of the metal community is via a popular television show I suggest you go check out Fox.com and watch the latest episode of "Bones." The episode is called "Mayhem on a Cross" it's one of the most terrible...

Wow, forum people really go out of their way to be jerks...

I'll wait to say anything substantial about this until this years Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains albums are out! I'm expecting a large pants-creaming reaction to both...

I think I agree with Mike in his statement that he's "like the slow-hand of death metal"...not to mention that I'm pretty sure that one of the Martin acoustic guitars that he uses (at least mildly) frequently is very similar to the Eric Clapton sig. Also, with this in mind, what the fuck are...

Some of the really early lyrics off of Orchid and (to a lesser degree) Morningrise are (as someone has already said before me) a bit nonsensical but not necessarily cheesy. I think Watershed has more cheesy moments than most of their previous efforts from MAYH and on, but the fact that Mike is...

Steven Wilson.

Well, I'm pretty young so unfortunately I can't be cool and say that I've been into em for like 10 years or anything like that. I got into them about the same time Ghost Reveries came out. The first thing I heard was TGC and thought it was decent. A little later in the year when Media Play went...

I imagine the guys in Agalloch could hold a grudge against Opeth simply because the two get compared so frequently. I imagine that could get frustrating when you're trying hard to do you're own thing and don't even consider Opeth to be an influence.

Perhaps it would be more worthwhile to actually look for a link to an interview somewhere that might actually answer the question at hand instead of bickering for no good reason. I'm curious to know Mike's opinion on this too, and coming to this thread to complain about not liking Agalloch...

Incubus and Alice in Chains are easily two of my favorite things...ever. I probably like them more than almost every metal band in the metal section of my CD colletion (which is roughly two hundred albums). At least, if nothing else, I realize how lame I am for this. I actually like a couple of...

There is no wrong and right when it comes to opinions. But if you are, in fact, an idiot.... ...please proceed with trying your best to be an asshat.

Have they checked the lost and found????

UsernameA: "Grr, I hate anders so much for legitimate reasons, but am going to state it in an immature way." UsernameB: "No your stupid, I like anders but I'm just going to state why in an immature way and not give any real reasons." UsernameA: "Oh yeah, well...ummm...ermm...fuck you!"...

Personally I like Ghost Reveries more than Watershed, but Watershed is still an awesome album. I could go on for hours about the things I love about it, but I'll spare myself the effort of writing about 6 paragraphs. However I will say that the songs this time around seemed a bit disjointed at...

Perhaps this link will help you clear up some questions you have about the Opeth rig. http://www.guitarmessenger.com/sites/lessons/artist_masterclass/mikael_akerfeldt/gear.html
