true, true.
what i observed in my former time on the opeth board was quite funny: everyone thought of himself as the most intelligent and wise person on the whole planet, but all the way they were walking alongside with what an ethereal being named "papa opeth" had to say (which was not all too dumb, i must say). sure, there may have been exceptions, but if you did scratch on the surface, they basically were all the same with their elitist behaviour. being kind of an opeth "fan" myself (what's a fan, actually?), i can understand their arguments about good songwriting ans such, but i cannot realize how they just seem to shut themselves of from all other musicial influences. it's just desolate.
i used to spend my online time here at first because of the people, having only heard some mp3s and projector a couple of times. but as the people exchange advices and tastes, i somehow got into dt and other bands and now really appreciate their music. and that is one thing the opeth forum totally lacks: open-mindedness and tolerance.
i personally don't give a flying fuck about what some guy over there has to say about bands i like, may it be as stupid as it might get.
you're lucky it wasn't the off-topic section.
