AUSTRALIAN Tour 10days - Mikael's Promise

[zep-head]

Australians are very excited right now as Opeth are about to begin the Aussie tour '08 in 10days time.

I thought I would remind Mikael and the rest of the Peth of their promise to the Aussies downunder a little over two years ago.
At the Melbourne show April 23rd 2006, our constant cheering for Black Rose Immortal was met with a polite decline from Mikael, yet an acceptable response: "haha, you just want it becuase its 20 minutes long...we promise we will play it next time"

Mikael we are going to have to hold you to that promise - we know how much you love your Australian fans, and you don't want to neglect the brilliance of the Morningrise days. At least a one-time performance for Melbourne who have been waiting?

Will be seeing you in both Melb and Syd... (hopefully for some BRI)
Welcome back to Aus Opeth!

Yea man, cant wait, but I think Mike was trying to pull a fast one on us saying that they will play BRI. He also promised to us in Sydney that Mendes was going to play nekkid. I hope thats true haha.

 

[darrkon]

Not long now, can't wait!!

 

[Vuashke]

i hope he doesnt play that long boring song, he could play benighted 4 times instead

 

[Sexy_Grandpa]

Heh well when they played in Auckland in 2006, he promised they'd be back to play in New Zealand on their next tour. Now it is their next tour, and it now looks extremely unlikely that that promise is going to be fulfilled...

Moral of the story: Don't trust Mike with his empty promises...

My mates are continuously telling me to shut up because its all I talk about. I'm so damn exited.

 

[Schism]

Yeah I could think of 3 or 4 brilliant songs that could be played in the time wasted on BRI

He promised it all over the place, but while it would destroy, I doubt highly it's going to happen. FFS it's really close.

 

[Drd77]

I think they should just play My Arms, Your Hearse all the way through and go ahead and throw in the covers at the end as well because every song on that record kicks ass.

 

[Lachybob]

Damn this tours crept up quickly. BRI would kick arse, but would take up about a sixth of their set, so torn whether id like them to play it or not

 

[BlueSky]

They should play what they want. Can't please everybody.

 

[Pethical]

^ and that's what they'll do

 

[Martin.]

Are any instores happening? It's getting close..

 

[JemGaarenstroom]

none from what i've heard...i'll keep you posted if I hear. Beat magazine, or inpress magazine usually have instore signings in them for bands if you're interested...

 

[in_my_time_of_disease]

^Call me if/when your going. Actually shouldn't we have heard something by now, given it's pretty damn close. I'm flying in to Sydney at about 2pm on the Saturday, so I'll have a few hours to kill before the doors open. Hopefully I can kill them by going to the signing.

 

[silent_rock_faery]

oh man i cannot wait!!!

and this time I will be going legally! no more fake ID's

 

[Kranholio]

I'm excited too man. I'm hoping like hell I'll get to meet them before the gig. I'll post my experience if/as it happens

 

[phagist_]

=D

 

[mark b]

I just wish i had a ticket

 

[Vega Skater]

So should we expect the same Masters', Drapery, Hounds, Wreath setlist?

I'd prefer something different, but will go nuts if SPD is played
