Saw them in Charlotte on the BWP tour with Nevermore and there couldn't have been 100 people there. Sad.

Don't underestimate the metal underground. A lot has changed since their 2000 tour, and music like Opeth's is FAR MORE readily accessible to far more people today.
For the record, 'Deliverance' opened at the #1 spot on the CMJ 'Loud Music' charts, which is taken from college stations & metal/harder airplay stations.
Irving Plaza in NYC holds MAYBE 1000 people when it's at capacity. I've seen far lesser bands than Opeth sell that place out. Also, keep in mind that Paradise Lost & Lacuna Coil aren't exactly "unknown" bands with no fans.

Yeah man, I understand that. I don't like shit like: they will appear on mtv and stuff. Do you think they are commercial and trendy shitheads??? I think no!

For the Worcester, MA show, I'd say maybe crowded, but not sold out. I've seen many metal shows over the past two years, and only Slayer packed the house.
Many other shows have had decent showings, but nowhere near a sellout. The worse showing was Enslaved in Attleboro, MA. If I counted 40 people there, that was alot. But a great show nonetheless.

The London shows recently have all sold well.
The Underworld show they did in 2001 was a sell out...

heheh, I don't think the MTV crowd is into experimental old 70's prog, which is what Mike said Damnation sounded like.

How is it up to them how much airplay they get? So if Deliverance appears on MTV they're immediately called 'commercial and trendy shitheads'? Great fanbase they have....

Yeah I feel that Deliverance will be more accessible to the masses as opposed to Damnation... it's an era where the 'hard' music is trendy.
