    world of warcraft

    oh my god.... I didn't lurk around here for a couple of months and when I come back I find that the wow-mania rules here too!!! I'd like to join you, but I play on EU servers so... I can't uninstall the game to play with you, thus abandoning my adored character, and moreover I'm afraid I'd need...

    What do you expect from Ghost Reveries?

    i don't expect anything at all. it's too easy getting fucked by high expectations. whatever will come i'll have. and if i won't like it i'd be certainly disappointed, maybe highly disappointed. i could even shed a tear or two, like i did after hearing deliverance. but life goes on, and there...

    mmmm... nice pics...

    out of hand? look I don't think anyone said LOL ILL NEVR LISTEN TO OPRTH AGAIN CUZ OV THESE PHOTOS!!!!11 I don't really care in the end of these photos, I just say that they're forced, laughable and not very opeth-ish in the stances and face expressions... Since they chose RR to sell more...

    mmmm... nice pics...

    completely agree with you. they never smiled in the old photos, but now they are clearly told to look angry because it's cool... every old photo looked sincere. these shots are so fucking ridicule and forced I'm laughing... well I'd be laughing if I weren't crying. anyway, I don't like to bitch...

    Missing Opeth cause I'm in the Hospital!

    Who will be support for Opeth?

    you're right, it should be Opeth opening for Novembre, not the other way around! (I'm joking.... but just barely!)

    Johan DeFaralla

    well I can't find my "sources" so you may be right... but I've seen bootleg videos where Johan pulls the songs out quite well... but it doesn't really matter... I'd just love to have the bass in today's Opeth more prominent and progressive, if you get what I mean...

    Favorite Opeth Artwork

    - the back twilight photo of Orchid - I ABSOLUTELY FUCKING love the photo on the cover of Morningrise - the bandphotos on Still Life - the cover of Blackwater Park, but not the inside photo but since the vote is one, I'd go with Morningrise.

    Most Overrated Opeth Song

    Demon Of The Fall... not even the best on MAYH (which is April Ethereal)

    Ghost Reveries Cover (with text)

    mmmm. good cover, but there's something in the logo and the text that doesn't strike me... maybe the color...

    Johan DeFaralla

    are you sure of this? somwhere in the official site, maybe in the biography, where he speaks of the recording of MAYH, Mikeal says that for the album (MAYH) he played the bass, and that he is no genius when it comes to bass-playing. Now, I don't see how could a mediocre bass-player (his words)...

    Awaken The Guardian remaster!

    Well if you want a suggestion, take the first 5 albums by Threshold, up to Hypothetical, and then stop. In fact just the first 2 are really good, really progressive. Now are just another melodic metal band with a couple of 10+ minutes song per disc. And, anyway, they are no match to the masters...

    The most influential band in your life

    Queen made me really listen to music when I was 14, Metallica (One) turned me into a meatlhead at 16, then Paradise Lost (Draconian Times) introduced me to darkest metal, and then Opeth and DT made me fall in love with extreme metal (and prog rock :-) ). the last step was the discovery of...

    Since I'm sure there's got to be a few people here who like avant-garde music...

    hi all, Naked City is a project from avant-jazz composer John Zorn, with Bill Frisell on guitar, I-dont-remeber-who-right-now on drums and Eye of the Boredomes on the occasional fucked-up screams. The music is free jazz combined with grind and hardcore. The songs range from the Batman theme...
