    So who's going to the wiltern?

    My first reaction was, "Damn, Alexi is short!" -a

    opeth tickets ripoff

    I think you are assuming too much. When Opeth reserves tickets, they most likely get blocks of sections. I got second row loge tickets from the Opeth website, so obviously YMMV. -a

    What a disappointment in San Diego!

    Someone else would have to answer that question. I remember them playing The New Build and closing with Lost to Apathy ... I can't reemember the other songs for the life of me. I was actually shocked to not hear The Final Resistance at least. -a

    What a disappointment in San Diego!

    The Opeth tour bus broke down. The Dark Tranquility tour bus broke down. Devil Driver started playing late ... and was delaying and playing extra songs because DT and Opeth weren't even there. And I can't say I'm a fan of DD's music. At one point DD announce that DT wouldn't even be...

    How does price correlate to whether it's an import or not? -a

    International CD sales vs. Buying Local

    So undoubtably like many of you Kalmah fans, I couldn't wait for the CD to hit the USA shores, so I ordered the disc directly from Spinefarm, and finally received it today! Anyways, how many of you plan on also purchasing the USA release? If not for the sake of collecting ... I feel like...

    Man of the King

    My opinion is that Man of the King is not directly making fun of COB, but in a way sort of poking fun at themselves, and playing off the criticisms and people who compare Kalmah to COB ... then turning it around and kicking you in the teeth to show you how distinctive and unique the true Kalmah...

    Man of the King

    It sounds like Kalmah is poking fun of COB for the first 58 seconds of this track to me :grin: -a

    Paul Reed Smith

    I hate to rain on everyone's fire ... but a few observations and opinions ;) First of all, no PRS guitars are hand-made except for the "Private Stock" guitars (which generally have a price tag of over $10,000). This is of course, only the case for PRS guitars made after 1995. Another...

    LA/Hollywoodl roll call

    The only thing that could have spoiled the LA show was the 1 hour+ delay, and hearing whatever shitty band they scraped up to replace Fireball Ministry and Pelican. Opeth was incredible, and I thought Axenrot was amazing. I can see your points about not having the same feel as Lopez, but he...

    Opeth gigs cancelled

    Do you honestly expect people to have no emotion or reaction as a result of this? Get real, we're human beings, not robots. If you cannot sympathize with the reactions of other people, then either try to empathize or ignore it. Don't start calling names, because you then put yourself below...
