He uses Seymour Duncan JB/Jazz. The guitar is a Custom 24 stock besides the pups. 10 top with birds.

The 7/19/03 Opeth and Porcupine Tree show at the Berklee Performance Center in Boston, MA was the best Opeth show ever. It was performed flawlessly in a perfect setting. The acoustics were unbelievable. The perfect setting for the softer Damnation material. Benighted and Face of Melinda were...

I might add that Porcupine Tree were amazing as well. This was truly a perfect bill. Two great bands which performed flawlessly. A perfect night.

I think Berklee Performance Arts Center has got to be the best place I've ever seen a concert at. Incredible acoustics, incredible sound, incredible lighting, and incredible comfort! This place is amazing! Opeth and PT sounded BETTER than their CD. No kidding. It was completely amazing. I...

Man Christina Scabbia is HOT!!!

Hi fadingessence, You are absolutely right about that. Mike does go into the front of the amp (not the effects loop) and turns the mids all the way up and everything else down. Here is an email that I received from Mikael: From: Mikael Åkerfeldt [mailto:opethmike@hotmail.com] Sent...

Mikael's live sounds are all coming from his Boss GT-3. He uses customized user presets not the factory presets. So if you have a Boss GT-3, you will not be able to nail his sound unless you have his patches. Maybe you can write to him or his tech and get the patches from him. Also, the...

Neurotomania what are you doing on this board? Go crawl back into your cave if you don't have anything positive or constructive to say!

Hey Neurotomania, Why don't you crawl out of that peat bog english cave of yours and wake up and smell the coffee! You obviously are an immature adolescent pimple infested english fuck with yellow teeth and glow in the dark complexion who just wants to annoy people on this board with...

For the people who bash Lacuna Coil because they don't play keyboards live, the reason they don't do it is because they only have 5-10 minutes between bands to set up and it is just not very practical for them when they are only going to play a short set list. If they were to headline, I'm sure...

Lacuna Coil was incredible! I really enjoyed them and Cristina's voice is so angelic! After seeing dozens of hardcore and metal bands screaming like crazy all day long, it was a very pleasant break to see Lacuna Coil who slowed things down a bit. They were very professional and sounded...

One of the bands that surprised me the most at the Metal Fest on Friday was the local band Cannae. They were a Hardcore band which I'm not too crazy about but they had some serious energy and turned the place into a moshing frenzy! The crowd went crazy and just started killing! The mosh pit...

I thoroughly enjoyed the Metal Fest this year. I have seen Opeth numerous times and loved them every time but I think that they should try and relax a little and play some other songs besides their "standard" setlist which they've been playing for so long. Being perfectionists from Sweden, I...

Hey LuminousAether and Neurotomania, Why don't you guys grow up and go post your cheesy comments on some lame death metal or boy band board! Everyone is entitled to their opinion but what the hell does a post like guitars made out of feces have anything to do with helping other people who maybe...

Lacuna Coil is worth the entrance price of the ticket by themselves. They put on a great show. I would love to see them headline and play a long set.
