They did not remove it completely, its still in the gallery in the first pic for those who wish to see it. I cannot believe their reply that they would be so kind as to not sue Opeth... :\

I've seen them 5 times as well, and my favorite was in the Fall 2005. It was my favorite set list I have seen them play, and I have to say I prefer Peter over Fredrik in stage presence, though maybe it is just because I am not used to Fredrik yet. And as for stage presence... I just loved...

Yeah, I stayed the second time I saw them in concert and got to meet them, they were great and they spent a lot of time with us (well, until a bum came up, would not leave, and so they went back inside the bus). How long did it take them until they came out Friday night? For me the last time...

As I said, this is not my first time upfront at a metal show, Sanzen. This time though it was overdone and took away from the music for me- the people behind did not let up at all and I was more squished than usual. Plus I normally head bang during parts, but could not even do that because I...

Yeah, I was up front during all the bands. From where I was it was definitely the worst for Opeth (someone behind me was really squishing me forward to no end). Heres a pic of me, so you know if you saw me.

Great pictures! I was going to stay after the show, but was just beat up so decided to leave. My opinion was Opeth was great, Mikael was hilarious (as always) but this was one of the worst shows I have been to (the worse being at Gigantour... only 4 songs by Opeth, I needed more!). I have...

Not sure if someone else mentioned, but try Drapery Falls from BWP. The first half of the song or so is clean vocals. Also what I love about Mikael's growls compared to others is that they seem to have melody within them, a musical chord (er, not a musician so I hope I am expressing it...

Don't forget My Arms your Hearse... it has Credence which is a beautiful song. Honestly I was not a fan of harsh vocals before Opeth, but once listening to MAYH I saw the beauty and poetry that can come from showing the complete range of human emotions given by both the clean and growl vocals...

Orchid 8 Morningrise 8 MAYH 10 Still Life 9.5 BWP 9.5 Deliverance 7.5 Damnation 7 GR 8 Watershed (yet to listen, waiting to hear some songs live first)

Welcome Green Tea! BWP does not really have a plot- it is not a concept album - though Still Life is. Don't forget to get my favorite- My Arms Your Hearse - that is also a concept album and has some wonderful songs on it! (and to those who replied to me- I know - takes some will power not to...

I have yet to get it, though Opeth is my favorite band. Reason for this, is I remember my first concert with them I went to 3/4 years ago; I had just started to listen to Opeth at that time so did not hear/know all of their songs yet. The experience I felt listening to When, Face of Melinda...

That is funny, and most concerts that I have seen him in he says stuff along those lines :p

I am glad I am not the only one who noticed. I was up front before in a concert in Raleigh, NC and they sounded perfectly clear, so I was sort of upset about that but knew it was just the sound system's fault and not Opeth's fault. Also, I did not like the idea of wearing wristbands to get...

I agree completely. I heard one Lamb fan call Opeth emos.... what assholes. This is the third time I saw them perform live, I have to say I like the previous two times much better considering the smaller venue, longer set list, and also I got directly in the front row- however that said, the...

I agree with Mikael's comments- and they are his opinions. I wish you guys who criticize someone for voicing their opinions would just grow a backbone and stop bitching.
