    What you like in Opeth's music..

    Hmm, I like the balanced blend of light/dark (who doesn't?), the music itself is very appealing, the fact that everyone in the band actually has talent, the length of the songs, the dynamics, and the song writing itself is amazing. Who else can write a 20 minute song (Black Rose Immortal) and...

    My fiancee is a fan...more for the heavy stuff than Damnation too.

    Main Riff Writer on 'The Gathering'

    I agree with "The Gathering" being Testament's best...but how could you forget DiGiorgio's as usual flawless performance? And as for "Low"...severly underrated by everyone I know...Tempesta does kickass!

    Kataklysm: STILL Complaining About Not Getting the Opeth Tour

    Mauricio has some good points, but blah blah blah blah is all it becomes after the first time, he's blowing it out of proportion as well...Kataklysm is alright, and DevilDriver sucks....opening for Opeth (either of those bands) is just weird anyways.

    First Time Hearing Deicide

    That would have to be when they headlined the first night of Las Vegas MetalFest 2003...Strapping Young Lad opened, then Deicide came out and crushed everyone's skulls...

    Deicide or Vital Remains

    Vital Remains....Suzuki is a beast. BTW--The Hoffman bros. are death metal's equivalent to Hanneman/King. Do what they gotta do for their particular bands, but aren't anything to get wet about.
