    Whats Next?

    So, they have done a heavy album, and now a mellow album, so what is next? In a interview in the Metro (crappy newspaper free on public transport in UK) there was an interview with Mikael, which surprised me. He said how Damnation will be the most mainstream record they will ever release. He...

    Birmingham Show - 17/3 - Post Your Thoughts

    Venue was too packed. I too saw some familar faces, some people even said hi to me, quite suprising considering it was May last year that they saw me. The cunts moshing just ruin it. Even in the heavy parts, Opeth IS NOT moshing music, moshing just wrecks concerts. Headbanging - Yes Slam...

    Birmingham Show - 17/3 - Post Your Thoughts

    Second time seeing Opeth in the same venue. I got there at 5:30 for absolutely no reason apart from me and a friend are cunts and don’t have any time management skills, therefore we got their way too early. Looking around in the queue, I saw some familiar faces from last year, but lots of...

    Emails And Replies

    Just wondering if anyone else here has emailed Mikael and got a reply. Ive done it twice now and got replies from both. First one was about his PRS guitars and what pickups he had in them. (Incase you want to know, they are Seymour Duncan Full Shred SH-10's). Second one was about playing...

    Question about guitar tone

    I'd say mess around with your EQ. I have a Boss GT6 (the gold one) and I find it much easier to use and program than the Boss GT5. It also depends on what guitar you have. The wood used to make the guitar accounts for a lot more then most people think, that why Les Paul's sounds much heavier...

    what guitar does mikael use?

    He uses a PRS Custom 24 live and a PRS CE24 in the studio. The only difference is that the custom has a set neck and the CE is a bolt-on. In both of these guitars he uses Seymour Duncan Full Shred pickups, in both the neck and bridge postions. Personally, I think the Jackson RR's were...

    I need Many effects

    Multi-Effect distortion are very average. Seperate Distortion pedals will give you a much better sound and tone. I recommend: 'Boss' HM2 'Marshall' Jackhammer 'Zoom' Tri-Metal Any 'Nobels' Distortion pedal Or just save up and get a good amp, like a Laney VH100R. Mines arriving on...

    Your last album purchase/trade...

    Also bought Nihility and totally agree. Its a good album, but nowhere near as good as Winds of Creation. Also got 'The First Damned' with the demos on. I recommend it. Got Nine Steps live on aswell :grin: Fucking Rules!
