Evidence of Opeth's popularity

[no country for old wainds]

i always buy from local record shops, they're usually a hell of a lot cheaper than £14 odd at HMV

We have a local record shop? That isn't shit? WHERE ROB, WHERE?!

 

[x_OPETH_x]

What best buy did you go to? I was just at one on Colonial kinda near downtown orlando and they played the same song.... odd stuff indeed.

I was in Sarasota for 4 days on vacation, and i stopped at the one down there

look a band doesn't sell out till they start making crap music and making a lot of money doing it. if the music speaks for itself then let it sell you fucking idiots

Dude calm down, only one person said sell-outs and he was probably joking. Smooth out on the PMS, biEEATCH.

 

[jeanreno]

I'd also say he was being sarcastic.

I hear Opeth on the radio yesterday. They followed up a set including Iced Earth, In Flames, AC/DC, Judas Priest, and Immortal. The station is an indy rock station from a local college though, claiming to be "metal" I almost thought so too until they played a radio edit of Deliverance, totally cut out the acoustic parts.

 

[blackroseimmortal1981]

look what are you some rap supporting mfer with your "biEEATCH". calling someone a sellout is calling them a sinner now you saying what you said to me because of what i said is the same as me calling them out so if you want to say something about me youre making yourself look as if your as bad as what you are saying i look. if youre not involved stay out of it. if they were sarcastic then THEY dont give a fuck. ALLRIGHT. and if you want to say i am pms ing then fuck off because all i am doing is supporting the furthest thing from a sellout on the market. and i will do that till the day i die. let it be known.

 

[ucsbdude]

SELL-OUT!

This perpetrator!! Opeth are so far away from selling out!

 

[seventi]

Well, Opeth jumped directly at spot # 5 on the Swedish hard rock list

 

[genizah]

ugh!

Opeth isn't that popular in NH though. In New Hampshire, we get NO metal radio time. There aren't even many punk or indie stations, let alone metal stations. It really sucks...

Exactly. Any metal that gets airtime is Nu-Metal. Sad.

 

[Katatonic]

we get so much metal on the radio its not funny (special programs etc.)

 

[Lethe78]

I am so jealous.

 

[midwintertears]

Well i saw a dude with an opeth tshirt the other day, believe it or not, here in the city thats an MTV stronghold (well MTV plans to 'invade' göttingen bringing along the likes of HIM and Afrob (some rapper guy) ).


And neways i sometimes play stuff on the radio (Stadt Radio Göttingen 107,1) and a few weeks ago i played TNATSW so i subjected the ears of the inhabitants of this town to beauty, for once.

 

[Demonspell]

The closest thing I've seen to mainstream acceptance of Opeth would be the logo scratched into a desk on my campus...

 

[ProgMetalFan]

That's awesome, Demonspell!

Well, this past Saturday I was in a Best Buy in The Woodlands, Texas (basically an outer section of Houston), and Opeth was, indeed, playing on the store speakers. After the song was over, the Best Buy "DJ" says something to the effect of "That was "enter song title here" from Opeth from their breakout album, 'Damnation.'"

Having never heard Damnation, lets just say that song didn't exactly convince me to burn $12 for the CD. It was blah.

 

[Space_Lord]

Dreamlord, you live in the Woodlands? Me too, and man is it a dump.

Buy Damnation though. I'm serious.

No, I do not live in The Woodlands, but pretty close. You think The Woodlands is a dump? You should take a look at my neighborhood. I live in the fucking ghetto. At least my lease ends at the end of June, then I'm getting the fuck out.
