    10/9 show at the Marquee (Tempe, AZ) - anybody from the forums coming?

    ...amazing gig, but alas...the bus area was indeed blocked off. I tried to let the security guard let me back, but no avail. But hey, the most important thing about a show is the performance, and Opeth did a mighty fine job! I loved the live rendition of Lotus Eater, and it was great to...

    Opeth signing

    Just curious if anyone could tell me if Opeth are available at gigs for signing merch or saying hello, etc. I saw them at the Mason Jar YEARS ago and they were out chatting with fans then, but I don't know if they even have the time these days being a busier act and whatnot? I know it's a...

    10/9 show at the Marquee (Tempe, AZ) - anybody from the forums coming?

    The one thing I haven't tried at the Marquee before is getting autographs from a band...however, I really want the guys to sign some merch this time around. Does anyone know where one would typically find the band pre or post gig at the Marquee? Is there a "back stage", or would I have to go...

    10/9 show at the Marquee (Tempe, AZ) - anybody from the forums coming?

    From what I remember, they have a couple security guards outside in front of the venue that pat you down and whatnot. I'm not sure if bags are an issue, but here is their website: http://www.luckymanonline.com Hope that helps ya :)

    10/9 show at the Marquee (Tempe, AZ) - anybody from the forums coming?

    The show isn't sold out yet, is it? I'm planning on catching the gig at the last minute. I wasn't going to go originally, because I spent a crapload of money and flew out to Oakland for the Progressive Nation Tour this last spring/summer for fear I wouldn't see either them or Dream Theater this...

    Introduce Yourself - the n00b thread

    Howdy y'all! My name is Jonesy; i'm from Phoenix, Arizona. I've been listening to Opeth since "My Arms, Your Hearse". Fell in love with the music instantly, and got chills up my spine the moment I heard the clean vocals on "April Ethereal". Been hooked ever since. I decided to join the...

    Back On Black Vinyl Reissue Question

    Howdy all, I have been thinking about purchasing My Arms, Your Hearse and I was wondering if anyone who has purchased this item could tell me the quality? Most specifically, I am wondering how the vinyl looks, and if the sleeve is indeed gatefold with lyrics and everything? Thank you in...

    Getting really sick of discovering rip-offs in Opeth music

    I totally agree. The first album I bought was "My Arms, Your Hearse" shorty after it's release. Back then, all I had been listening to was early thrash, black death metal and grindcore, but was beginning to listen to Norwegian Black Metal like Emperor and Dimmu Borgir, and came across this...

    Opeth Watershed vinyl edition

    I think i'm going to buy the vinyl edition of Watershed today, but I was wondering if those who have it could answer a few questions for me: 1) Is it a gatefold packaging and does it come with a booklet? I know it has a poster and CD. 2) Is there exclusive cryptographics in this edition...

    Getting really sick of discovering rip-offs in Opeth music

    I have been visiting the Opeth forums since the Ghost Reveries days, and no post has piqued my interest enough to cause me to join until I read this one today. I find the discussion interesting, because there are good points that have been brought up, and as a musician myself, this is a...
