Looks like April is becoming a big touring month for the US.
First King Diamond / Kreator, now DT and Opeth.

KD / Kreater / DT / Opeth for Powerfest 2008!

the 2 bands that have bored me the most live. incredible

 

[Will Bozarth]

eh, 3rd time i saw opeth, i was bored. 2nd time i saw Dream Theater, i was bored

I hope the Candlemass thing is true, though

 

[Jasonic]

I agree, neither are the most exciting live bands.

Opeth were amazing to watch the first time I saw them.
Then the 2nd time I saw them, it wasn't as special.

While I like and appreciate both bands, I have very little desire in going to this show.

 

[OrbWeaver]

I really enjoyed DT live.


I'm not too crazy about Opeth opening for them, though. I'm not really an Opeth fan. I might watch a song or two, however.

 

[Diabolik]

that is a very interesting line up. Glad to see that a and like Dream Theater isnt staying away from having real metal acts open for them. Look how many good metal acts who are large like COB, Cradle, and In Flames tour here and have all this mallcore stuff opening for them. These are the bands that should be bringing over the new talent and stuff. oh well.

Opeth was fun live but I really dont like the last disc.

 

[Jasonic]

I will probably get flamed for this, but I actually liked Ghost Reveries more than Deliverance.

DT seems like they tour with whoever they want, and not because a label made them do it. They have toured with everyone from Yes and Deep Purple, to Fates Warning and Queensryche.

Definitely an interesting package, though with all the other gigs that will be going on at that time, this would be VERY low on my list of shows I would go to. I imagine the ticket price will be very high too.

Well, while we are on topic, how do you rate the DT catalog?

For me it is simple:
Scenes From a Memory
Train of Thought
Images & Words













EVERYTHING ELSE

What a weird friggin' combo for a tour. It might actually get me to a DT gig as a paying fan. After years of following DT, the combination of endless musical wankery, zero song structure, and James LaShe's unrelenting screeching has sent me packing as a fan. It'll be interesting to see how long I'll stick around during DT.

Even with a half of the band new, Opeth>>>>>DT.

 

[Jasonic]

James LaShe That never gets old!

I love how he recently "toughened" up his image for the new album.

 

[Walter_Langkowski]

He grew the mustache so people would stop thinking that he's a woman.

 

[Jasonic]

I wonder if DT first became aware of OPETH when LaShe and Mikael took part on the last AYREON CD?????

 

[Vegetaman]

I thought Opeth was really good live both times I saw them.

 

[Diabolik]

Opeth are a pretty good live band. But seen them enough live to make me happy.

 

[Jasonic]

They are amazing to watch live, indeed.
Just not a band I feel the need to see live again.
