I am going on 40 myself and started listening to Metal back in 1980. It's funny how times have changed but my taste hasn't. Remember when your grandparents/parents were listening to 50's music when you were young and it seemed natural to see people really old back then to listen to that kind...

I wonder why they say seated for this one. They don't for the NY and LA shows. Do you think they would have foldout chairs near the front and people standing there? Or maybe it's stadium-like seating where they are anchored with people rushing to the stage. I think we have side seats on the...

I don't have many tour shirts anymore so it's a no-brainer for me. I think I want to buy an Opeth shirt though. I am close to 40 years old so it may look strange on a guy like me but who cares. I won't be driving so hell ya I will be drinking it up for sure. Wonder what song(s) they will...

I'll be the guy wearing the Empire Special Edition Ryche tour shirt:) See ya there! BTW - I'm from VA so we are coming a long way too. What is funny is that they are playing in Norfolk in a couple weeks which is miles from my house but I will not go so that it is a new experience for me...

last year during their underground tour. They were not the headliners (LoG was) but they kicked everyones ars including LoG that night!

I am going and am psyched as hell. I have never seen them live yet and I am going to fly to Chicago and visit an old friend to do this. We will also make the trip to Milwaukee the next day for their regular tour show. Nothing can be better than this right now! I am a pure metal head and...

I have slowed way down over the past 10 years but I have around 500 CDs (80% Metal) and have ripped them all for about 40 GB of high quality mp3s. I used to own a huge amount of cassettes back in the day which I chucked in the trash because they became obsolete:grin:

I love both and the production is better on GR but MR is such an emotional listen. MR is a masterpiece before its time. BRI is my favorite song and TNASW is a close second. Advent is awesome and Nectar doesn't get the attention it deserves. To Bid You Farewell is just a classic.

Did you try and soften the blow by letting them get used to Damnation? I would think you would get either a "oh my god, that is so cool but weird in a way" or "What the hell is this??" If you get the "oh my god," it will only be a matter of a few listens before they are hooked.... After the...

On the sticky thread above (link): http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=153620 Go down a bit and there is Mikael's explanation. Also, on their official Website, you can look at Mikael's biography and the bassist also doesn't like the song. When I say doesn't like, they...

This is the CD that I have literally worn out. I listen to it that friggin much! I love TNATSW too (I couldn't understand why Micheal A disliked it more than others he's written until I read why). Now that I understand his reasoning I am not offended because TNATSW is truly a masterpiece...

Black Rose Immortal is arguably one of the most loved Opeth songs and they don't play this live? Or is it just too damn long for a concert that is promoting GR? God, I would go friggin crazy if they played that song live! PLEASE!!!!!

I am lucky that a high school buddy of mine (I'm 39) and I love metal no matter what it is. He got me into Opeth and it took one song and one listen to love this band. I have yet to convince any of my local friends that like grunge and rap metal to give this band a chance. I love getting...

Duh, Thanks Babe.

Does anyone know a close to reality list of the songs Opeth will be playing on their current tour? I hope I am allowed to ask this and could not see a thread about this topic. I will be going to see them in Chicago in a little over a week and am getting psyched!!!!!!!:rock: I live in VA so...
