    CINNINCINNATI SHOW

    I definitely want to be there. I'm in Columbus so it's a little bit of a drive and it's on a school night but on the other hand it's fuckin Opeth. I'm gonna try to go to the Cleveland show as well. Have you ever been in Bogart's? How is it?

    favorite album cover?

    It was a tough choice, but i had to go with morningrise. So simple, yet so atmospheric. MAYH and Deliverance are close behind with the whole creepy ass woman/girl things. Has anyone noticed the girl in the mirror in deliverance? At least thats what I thought it was- kinda weird considering I've...

    Who has had sex while listening to Opeth

    Unfortunately I've yet to do the nasty with Opeth playing. I have with Porcupine Tree and Minus the Bear, but that's not quite Opeth haha. Honestly I don't think it would lend itself well to love making, unless maybe you threw on some By the Pain I See in Others and just raped the shit out of...

    Opeth and Free Jazz

    Yeah honestly I think people are just full of shit. Someone will hear a seventh chord or hear a drummer actually not playing on the backbeat and be like OMG DIS IS TEH JAZZ. Most of the time it's pretty (heir) apparent that whoever is making the said comparison doesn't know shit about the genre...

    Watershed: Are you disapointed with it?

    kazraine...-1. hibernal dream... +1. Kazraine I love how you throw your point about metal out there like it's pure fact. Oh yeah, let's face it, it's pure cheese. Ok, or not. Metal music means a lot to me. Writing it, playing it, or listening to it helps relieve stress and anger. I'm a really...

    Prog vs Metal - which one do you stand for

    I am definitely on the metal side of the fence, but I have to admit that I don't know how much further metal music can go. I mean it can only get so heavy, so downtuned, so fast, etc. before it just gets retarded. But yeah, I'd take Wreath any day over Burden or something like that. Prog is...

    Watershed in perspective of other Opeth albums

    Haha fps I guess I never really associated Opeth with the current season outside, probably cause I'm usually stuffed up in my room with the windows shut. But yeah, Ghost of Perdition and Baying of the Hounds completely kick my ass to open up the album, I got to see both of those songs live and...

    Your opinions about what guitar I should buy

    For a decent cheaper guitar, I've always liked Ibanez. They feel pretty nice, look and sound good. Really the main thing on the guitar that will help you get a death metal sound is the pickups. Make sure you get at least one decent humbucker. Other than that, like other people said, your amp is...

    Watershed in perspective of other Opeth albums

    ^ fps I agree with everything you said except I'd put GR in the second group, I still think it's a good album.

    The Amen Corner

    lol a friend and I were driving to the gas station and back listening to Karma and I ran the same stop sign twice cause it was so intense. (before anyone flames me, it's not a busy intersection at all) As for Amen Corner, I love it. So many good riffs and Mikael sounds like a fucking demon. I...

    Opeth in todays Seattle Pi

    Yeah isn't awesome how dumb "professional" reviewers are for some of the bigger magazines and stuff? Kinda like how Dave Navarro was going to be a permanent stay with RHCP according to Rolling Stone I think it was, and how Weezer's Pinkerton was one of the worst albums of the year when it came...

    The Night and the Silent Water

    ^ TNATSW would be so awesome to see live. Itis hard to decide which I like better- the Roundhouse Tapes version or the original. The Roundhouse Tapes is a little faster tempo wise which works (unlike on Bleak) and the growled "you sleep" part is so badass. But then again the original just has...

    The Night and the Silent Water

    I'm pretty sure he says its a doomy song. As in doom metal.
