I met Dream Theater backstage during the Chaos in Motion tour earlier in the year.My brother does work for them so he was given backstage passes to their Sydney concert and was invited to soundcheck,so I went along too.Jordan Rudess is awesome! I've also met Chris Jericho.

Rhapsody of Fire - Triumph of Agony

I'm really surprised that Watershed is #7 in Australia-I didn't think this country had that kind of appreciation for metal.

Currently watching Wrestlemania 20,Goldberg vs Brock Lesnar.Worst wrestlemania match ever!

Run to the hills!A plague upon this thread and all who dwell within!Now my reign begins....

Whoever doesn't win the presidency,you can send him here to Australia-they'd do a better job running this country than our prime minister!

They're not playing in Darwin?That sucks.Hope you find some way to see them.Opeth travelled all over the U.S for the prog-nation tour,you'd think they could at least visit all of our states.It's not as if we have very many of them.

Entombed

Hi Jacky!Fellow australian here,from N.S.W (don't hold it against me).Welcome to the forum!

I'd go with Blackwater Park.That album got me into Opeth.It has the brutal side of Opeth (such as Bleak) and the softer side (Harvest).Damnation is a great album but it's the only album where every song is softer,so it doesn't really show what Opeth are all about.

Today I watched one of the most classic movies of all time-Mr Nanny,starring Hulk Hogan.How that man doesn't have an Oscar is beyond me.Okay,sure,it doesn't even make the level of B-grade,but I'm a sucker for the Hulkster.He really can't act.Hey zacmenta,any chance you'd want to swap that...

Have you bought a ticket for the Watershed tour yet?I can't believe we have to wait until September for them to get here...I'm so impatient...but good things come to those who wait.

Sounds like a great night-bet you won't forget that in a hurry!Would've been cool hearing James singing "In my time of need".Wonder if he did that song as much justice as Mike did with Dream Theaters' "Repentance" the other night?

September 6 at the Big Top-Opeth are going to be awesome!I'm another Opeth fan from down under.Welcome to the forum,I only joined up the other day myself.And don't worry-I introduced myself yesterday and haven't been welcomed yet.Access denied!

Carcass(Heartwork),Opeth(Blackwater Park),Arch Enemy(Burning Bridges) and Children of Bodom(Something Wild) are what really got me into the more 'extreme' metal.Before that it was mainly old school Metallica,Ozzy Osbourne,Pantera.My first black metal album was Dimmu Borgir Death Cult Armageddon.
