    Name one Opeth song you want to see live, and believe it's never been performed live.

    Any way I can get The Funeral Portrait? Would love to hear it live.

    Best place/situation/expereince you've had listened to Opeth (not in concert)

    That's a "where did you FIRST hear Opeth" thread. Mine is just your favorite listening exprience. Not the same - mine came 9 years after I first heard them.

    Best place/situation/expereince you've had listened to Opeth (not in concert)

    I was in St Maarten the week before last. We went to Orient Beach, one of the most beautiful Caribbean beaches I've ever been to. White sand, warm and clear blue water, hot breeze, palm trees (a postcard setting for someone like me from Massachusetts), many beach bars. I had ordered my rum...

    Name one Opeth song you want to see live, and believe it's never been performed live.

    In a thread I made years ago, I believe the one song I've never heard Opeth play live in the eight times I've seen Opeth in concert was "supposedly" played live in London in 2002 (although I have no proof and have never heard it). I have always wanted to hear The Funeral Portrait live, and...

    Mike and Ipods

    I hated iPods for a long time. My reasoning was simple - it "seemed" too trendy and I "believed" they were purchased as a status symbol. I held onto (and still have) what I believe is/was the best CD based MP3 player, the Rio Volt. When digital MP3 players 1st hit the market, I was lucky...

    Where were you when...

    I was in my bedroom putting away some clothes. I had Comcast cable's metal station playing on the television although I wasn't really paying attention at the time. Then, something caught me - a song. I stopped what I was doing to listen. When I began to pay attention, the song was in the middle...

    Any old time original Opeth forum members still lurking around?

    Hi there. I didn't use the search function and don't remember if I did such a thread a few years back. I had been browsing the forums up to me seeing Opeth in May so I decided to post. Nice to see people still around. I was very surprised to see Satori make a similar thread only days after I...

    Well - if you're close to 49 then we're close in age :)

    It's weird that I post this thread: http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/opeth/498925-any-old-time-original-opeth-forum-members-still-lurking-around.html and then you "stop on by", as did JCP. Hi Shadowthrone!

    Hi Satori, JCP. I guess I started a trend of old-timers calling out others with a thread.

    At the risk of sounding like an elitist I will tell you my thoughts on this forum in its infancy. I have no intention of insulting anybody, but if I do I'm sorry. Back in 2001 when this forum was born there was a very small group of members as compared to today. With the forum being small...
