I saw Opeth in Austin last night and damn what a show! I thought it was going to be calm, but was I wrong. It was one of my worst crowds from what I heard. I was in the very front in front of Michael and at was cool at first, than the crowd got too stupid.
Devildriver was all right. I couldnt understand a damn thing they were saying and nothing really stood out. The crowd seemed into them though and they had some fans there. The singer kept giving me 5 and singing right over me. Some chick even stole his hanky lol I got the Bass players pick.
Moonspell was pretty good. Ive heard some songs but I didnt hear anything I recognized. Does anyone know the first 2 songs theyve been playing on tour as well as the last song? The drummer was pretty fucking good as well as the bass player. I shook hands with the singer a few times and he threw me a Gatorade.
Finally Opeth was amazing. The sound and vocals were tight and spot on. They gave a great damn show. April Ethrel and In My Time of Need were great to hear. Michael seemed to be having fun and loved the crowds reaction of them.
All in all it was a cool show. I met some great people, had cool people around me front stage, and had fun. Before the concert I got to meet Martin M and Martin L and they were great fucking guys. Real nice and quiet. I talked in Spanish to Martin L and he was saying all the languages he knows and we bullshitted. I talked with Martin M about the show and he said he hates the sound of the Backroom. After the show I met Peter right away and he talked awhile and was REAL damn nice. Totally cool guy. He seemed happy when I said how big of a fan I was. And we bullshitted awhile. Than Michael came out and we called to him but he said he would be right with us he had to get a jacket (Im surprised at how cold it was). He later came out and I talked with him a little since people got there to get autographs. He was real nice and happy at how big of a fan I was. But Peter actually went and got a jacket after we were done with him and came out before Michael and he met with all the fans for a long time. Rreaslly awesome guy. The Martins never came out, which sucked for alot of people, but at least I got to hang with them
I got all their autographs on my Still Life CD and a bunch of pictures with them (8)
Hell of a show!

I was the guy with long hair wearing the Symphony X shirt (the ONLY person at the show wearing a SX shirt!) but later I bought the Lamentations DVD cover tour shirt and wore that. If you met Michael outside, I was one of the first people to meet him and I was with a girl wearing a Still Life shirt. I was the guy talking to mike than getting a pic and busting the security tape cause it pissed me off. Me and Mike just laughed and he was like "thats ok" but the security guy got pissed. YOu should have replied to my thread asking who was going to Austin, we could have met up.
