101 rules for an Opeth fan.

[@=NoBigDeal=@]

Let's see, if we can make this up to 101. I'll start, others continue.

1. When describing Opeth's music to an ignorant, remember to use the words 'brutal' and 'mellow' at least 15 times in a sentence.
2. All guys from Opeth and all their friends are cool, easy-going and down-to-earth-guys, right?
3. It cannot get much more cool, easy-going and down-to-earth than Mike Portnoy.
4. Be sure to say LOL, when Mike says some of the following things; Jesus, anus, Burt Reynolds, bass player.
5. Repeat. Ghost Reveries is Opeths most mature release this far.
6. If Opeth performs a gig of an hour with six songs, and even though they haven't bothered to practice those songs at all before going on tour, the Opeth show is always a marvellous experience.
7. An Opeth fan who doesn't like Porcupine Tree, isn't a true Opeth fan. So, bang your head against a wall, till you have learned to like PT.

Eh.

 

[N-MAYH]

horrible... and GR is not 'the most mature'

8. Try to get others, preferably non-metalheads, into Opeth by playing them The Drapery Falls and mention its awesomness and uniqueness within the metal realm. Also mention that no other metal band shows their degree of maturity. If they don't get it, play them The Moor and proceed as above.....

I like the first one. It kinda describes how I describe Opeth to someone who hasn't heard them.

9. Chose Pringles as your favorite brand of potato chips...

10. Laugh... under the weeping moon.

11. Short songs are boring, Don't hear them

 

[MixGrafix]

Explain the concept of distortion vocals and clean vocals the same way you would explain the difference between a distortion guitar and a clean guitar sound.

 

[Masters_Apprentice]

Why do you need to like PT as well??

 

[batastrophe]

those suck

I'll venture a guess and say the OP was being a little sarcastic.

 

[Lothlorien]

Why do you need to like PT as well??

agreed. Pretty bad list by the way.

 

[cheechonaleash]

18. There are NO rules 12-16.

 

[Crysiss]

18. There are NO rules 12-16.

Im pretty darn sure it was a meaningless typo.

 

[wandering_taco]

Dont talk about fight club.

 

[Misko]

12. There's nothing sexier than a chick into Opeth.

 

[cheechonaleash]

Im pretty darn sure it was a meaningless typo.

I'm pretty sure you're right.... but I had to be a smartass!
