    opeth the only death metal band some of you listen too?

    the only death band?? good lord, i hope they're not for anybody! if someone enjoys opeth's heavier material, there's a whole world of other great music around they'll get into! for me? some would be morbid angel, zyklon, myrkskog, deicide, vital remains, nile, cryogenic, abortus... myeh...

    Please recommend some prog bands

    saw them at homebake im guessing? i missed that one, was at motley instead ;) i've seen them prolly over 50 times, maybe around 10 times between the bulli RSL and wollongong uni? keep an eye out, they're pretty loyal to the uni. and yes, lucius is one awesome drummer. he played a...

    weakness is absolutely beautiful, im a big fan. countless times i've just closed my eyes and tuned out with that song on... "stain me, save me, take me to my home... hold me, show me, take me to my home..." LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE those lines in the song

    Opeth down under

    thanx for that info, nice to know. i saw satriani this year too in syd, played the same venue as opeth did on the (delayed) damnation tour... the venues they've played in sydney are like, 2500-3000 and about 2000 previously. both sold out. apparently the venue they're doing this time is...

    Opeth down under

    ^^^^ aaaaaHA! i think that was the very show that sparked this thought, so yes... i'll be one unhappy chappy if the 24th is purely underage *GRRRRR* there's also a date in between sydney and brissie atm - perhaps a second sydney show pending sales of the first? *crosses fingers*

    Opeth down under

    ah right, so all ages gigs down there ARE purely that, *ALL AGES*. cool. i swear i've heard before something about vic only having OVER 18, and UNDER 18. not all ages gigs as such. *stands corrected*... and prays that both melbourne shows are over 18s...

    which 'era' of Porucpine Tree do you prefer?

    my fave albums of steve's are def the sky moves sideways, and in absentia. others are def good but just dont hit it off so sweetly for me.

    Setlist for Paris, 06/12/2005 ?

    while we're listing setlists, can anyone tell me the likelihood of opeth playing harlequinn in sydney? they toured AUS for deliv and damnation, and the sydney sets were quite contrasting. in my mind, they took note of what they'd played the year before and changed it up a lot, which is...

    Old or new Opeth?

    in reference to the earlier debate in this thread about which albums to label as which: orchid and morningrise are quite similar, altho morningrise is slightly better written than most of orchid. they are clearly more primitive albums than anything written since. MAYH definitely showed...

    which opeth's song most fun to play?

    guitar: i thoroughly enjoy the drapery falls, and the moor... but probably my fave songs overall to play would be deliverance and forest of october. and for fave solo to play - a fair judgement. also windowpane im quite a fan of... so simple yet so beautiful... OH, for acoustic soft stuff...

    Opeth down under

    MELBOURNE PEOPLE: im from sydney and thinking of coming down for the 2 shows. i have it in mind from a while back, someone told me that in victoria, the law is basically that for an underage gig, everyone has to be UNDER 18, rather than just any age? (IE: all ages gig) - is that actually the...

    Mikael the comedian

    on the 04 aus tour, in sydney... just before playing the moor: "this next song is from our "still life" album... it is called *pauses*... paranoid!" *begins playing the black sabbath riff* i laughed. he also got lopez to play a 4/4 drum beat, then mendez came in about 4 bars later with...
