    Opeth's Cancellation in Edmonton

    Opeth cancelled the show in Edmonton. Is it likely that they will reschedule the gig, does anyone know? I know they've cancelled shows before. Do they ever come back during the same tour?

    VERY hard. The Drapery Falls The Leper Affinity Godhead's Lament I think there are many other "top something" tracks for me :cool: Face of Melinda, April Ethereal, Advent, Under a Weeping Moon, Blackwater Park, Dirge for November, Serenity Painted Death, The Moor... and the rest of...

    The Twilight is My Robe

    Hmm, off Orchid, I personally prefer Under the Weeping Moon; that song is terribly haunting. Off MAYH I love The Amen Corner --- by far Opeth's heaviest. I like When as well -- the part with "And I cried..." especially. But no Opeth song for me can beat The Leper Affinity. Oh, man, what an epic...

    It amazes me...

    How great of a taste in music you people here have. You know, I was expecting about 90% of you to be death metalheads. I constantly see some of my favourite bands being mentioned -- Anglagard, Anekdoten, Devil Doll, Pain of Salvation, Genesis, etc. Hell, I even saw Henry Cow here somewhere. I...

    Prog me, baby

    Lol, PoS and Dream Theater commercial? Oh please, they are just not overly obscure or extremely complex. But if you want to hear commercial prog try Spocks Beard. Those guys are just horrible. But bck to the point: Well, there's the classic prog: Yes: Close to the Edge, Relayer, Tales from...

    Opethian Song Survivor: championship.

    The Moor. That song is just so ... scary, I guess. Seriously. The Moor scares me.

    A Modest Proposal - Opeth Sucks

    Yeah, why the hell ARE we listening to this stuff? I mean I'd rather listen to Limp Bizkit. They are not pretentious and don't suck up to the music geeks by showing off how well they play or how long a song they can write. Besides, Opeth are not even popular. They aren't on the radio and that...

    Mikael vs. Homer Simpson

    I think the two are comparable in a way. But really, I believe that I like Mikael more just because of the "Searching my way to perplexion" thing... :)

    Why don't people give Opeth a chance?

    I was about to do the same thing as your friend did when I first heard Still Life. Hmmm ... I guess years of prog experience have taught me to be patient. And I was. And here I am.

    Mikael vs. Homer Simpson

    Hmm, this one is truly a dilemma. I don't really know what to pick, but: Homer: "Sacrilicious" Mikael: "They wear white for me" Homer: "Marge, it takes two to lie, one to lie and one to listen..." Mikael: "Sick Liasons raise this monumental mark, the sun sets forever over Blackwater...

    Best ending song (Opeth or otherwise)

    I have four that really stand out: Yes: Ritual Dream Theater: Learning To Live Anglagard: Kung Bore Opeth: Blackwater Park (the acoustic part is the most haunting piece of music ever created)

    Is there such a thing as "original" sound?

    I think there are cases (might be my case), where a musician listens to a huge number of bands ... I'm talking in the thousands really and draws influences. Your best bet would be to listen to MANY prog bands and then make something out of a little piece of each. When you have 20 different...
