[_Transparent_]

Besides people online, I don't know any girls that like them. I know this guy Dave that's friends with a few of us, but he's NEVER in town. When he is, we totally hang out and shoot the breeze and worship Opeth. Then there's Lewy that I see around town every now and then and we party like every other weekend. It's funny. Every time I see him, he says to me "OOOOOOOOOOpeeeeeeth." I give him the horns.

My friends Chris and Scott got into Opeth after seeing them live. Well, chris was somewhat into Opeth before that, because I told him to download Black Rose Immortal, but that was the only song he knew before the concert. After the concert (which I missed *mumble mumble*) they were both really into Opeth, and I think Chris has two of their CDs, and Scott had 3 last time I talked to him. (haven't seen him online since he moved downstate)

I also sent some mp3s to a girl I've been talking to online for a while... sorta hesitant... I mean, she liked all the Blind Guardian stuff I sent her, and really liked Dracula by Iced Earth, and some metallica stuff, but I figured the Opeth vocals would turn her off. Oddly enough, she thought the vocals were cool. (I sent her The Drapery Falls) When I talked to her a couple days later, she said, "I'm obsessed with that song you sent me. I just played it 3 times in a row." She didn't even listen to metal before talking to me.

So, I'm glad I've made a few Opeth fans out of my friends.

Nil, Zip, None, Zero. My brother and sister have grown to not mind them, because they hear it so much, but it's far from a love that they have. I have tried to make a couple of my friends Opeth fans, but to no avail. If it weren't that I were a little lonely here, I would be proud being the only Opeth fan in my city. (BTW, I discovered them when I bought A Call to Irons: A Tribute to Iron Maiden, back in early 99).

I feel your pain

Out of all the ppl I know I'm the only girl that likes Opeth. Even the times I've seen them live there's not that many girls in the audience...kinda odd.

None of my friends even listen to metal Well not properly neway. Lots of people I've played and they've liked benighted and harvest tho My cunning plan!

 

[benny]

0 everyone here hasn't even heard Maiden before.

 

[ricochet]

NONE! My friends listen to a lot of different bands, but unfortunately(for them) Opeth isn't one of them. I have tried to tell them how amazing they are, but they just don't understand. So, I would have to say none. However, my brother has "A Call to Irons" -tribute to Maiden. He likes Opeth's cover of "Remember Tomorrow" the best. As far as Opeth fans, I know none.

 

[yourdeadgroom]

NONE!!! ARRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!! None of my friends like metal
I am, however, trying to rectify that. I've managed to get one guy into Bolt Thrower (oddly, he loves their old stuff, like 'Realm of Chaos', and hates their newer stuff. Very strange....), so there is hope....

 

[Soul Forlorn]

I don't know anyone personally who listens to Opeth. I have one friend who's into Iced Earth, Type O, and a lot of older 80's metal but that's it!

 

[MetalManCPA]

I know only one - ME

, wow, i know one friend that got me into opeth but now i put on the songs like those to get people into them (when i say people that means one person ) i dont think i can get anyone else into opeth or even metal, its all rap/r n b in my college!!!!

 

[discouraged1]

I am the first one here, but I had luck in convincing the few of my friends to open their minds/ears a little bit and TRY to understand what are Opeth playing.
There are about 6 or 7 of them right now

 

[Slynt]

I come from a small island, and we're almost without exception metal-heads!
All my closest friends dig Opeth and the likes so I guess I'm lucky there...we use to arrange metal-only parties where we only play loud metal and drink a lot of beer. Like we're going to do tonight!

Yeah, you see, my cunning plan is to get them into those, then to start playing them heavier songs but with mostly clean vocals, and then heavy songs, and they WILL love them

Shit yeah! You are SO lucky! There's nothing better than that. I mean, sitting down with a good friend and just talking about Opeth...I try to. I did this weekend! I'm always trying to tell people about Opeth and why it's changed my life, but like we've discussed before, music is just not their passion in life.

I know! I'd so love to talk about Opeth to my friends, but they all complain i talk about them too much already because of all my efforts to convert them, but they will be converted oh yes, the will love Opeth

[Russell]

Weren't thorns the ones who were around at the beginning of black metal then the lead singer went to jail as accesory to murder so they only just released their new album?
