One's an America-hating rapper and the other is a pretty amazing vocalist and songwriter. Gee... And let the flaming begin, but I'll add that it takes a shitload of douchebaggery for me to ignore some pretty damn good music just because of who wrote it, but Gildenlow qualifies with flying...

It is very unlikely that Opeth extended their set. It's their tour, they'll play as long as they want to play. 10 songs is pretty much all they play at most headliners, it seems to be what they're comfortable with, so I wouldn't expect anything. High on Fire might have been extended, or the...

Nah, it's almost always the band, or rather their management. I doubt Mikael and Frederick are sitting there trying to figure out how much to charge for t-shirts, of course.

Shirts are 30 dollars, unfortunately, but it's better than Prog Nation. They had a few Watershed shirts, a few with pieces of artwork from the Watershed booklet and there was also one or two Opeth logo shirts. I didn't see what they actually had at Prog Nation so I don't know if any of them...

Most likely they'll be replaced by local openers in most venues until the next touring opener is ready, whenever that day is.

It's because the song most people associate with the album is The Grand Conjuration, and there are aspects of that song that remind some people of typical Roadrunner garbage.

Mikael has used a lot of riffs that sound a lot like riffs from other songs. Remember that The Moor/ABBA topic a while back?

Tool is actually confirmed for this game. I think the biggest reason to be concerned about the setlist is Pink Floyd's inclusion.

The only time I've seen him play, he fucked up the ending to Demon of the Fall, and then Mike was ripping on him for it.

No they didn't. They did a date in New Jersey that was less than 5 minutes away from Philly. It's like a New York fan complaining they were skipped when they played in East Rutherford, NJ.

The entire song isn't bad, just the last 3-4 minutes or so.

Harlequinn Forest. That way, people will actually want to leave when it's over.

Grand Conjuration pisses me off, and I hate the end of Harlequinn Forest so much I downloaded a sound editor and deleted that section from all copies of the song on my hard drive so I wouldn't have to go to the skip button every time I hear it. I was never able to get into Orchid at all...

You guys realize that Philly did get a Progressive Nation date, right? Fine, it wasn't technically in Philadelphia but it was right across the river, easily accessible for anybody in the area. I'm hoping for a CT date, last time Opeth did a headlining tour in the states they stopped by...

If he wants anything other than Opeth, give him Nile.
