I dont know if anyone knows, but they play everything on electric guitars. I wish they had more time to play and perhaps headline, as they obviously deserve to. Imagine hearing "Benighted" live!! That would rule!!! I've seen them twice now-(metalfest and Massfest) and they were just amazing. My only gripe again is the lack of acoustic guitars in a live setting. I'm quite surprised they dont use them as they are huge part of their cds. Anyway, I cant wait to see them here in L.A.! Hopefully Nevermore will be cool and let them play "Leper Affinity"! I wish they would play "Bleak" though- thats hands down my fave off the new one.

I assumed that's how they would have to do that, all on electric guitars - obviously the songs just change pace too fast to pick up a different guitar. I seem to remember reading that apparently at their North American debut at the Milwaukee Metalfest they had to hunt down some footpedals at the last minute prior to the show. My god, imagine how huge a neccessity that must be!

When I first saw Opeth I was guessing that maybe they would have those acoustic guitars set up on the stands for convience when playing acoustic parts. The songs which they played seemed to call for an Acoustic Sim pedal due to the fastpace in riff changes. Now maybe when the next time they come "headline!" then they'll get to play some of their acoustic songs.

I have a good Idea , get dan swano to play acoustic guitar for them , and he could do some backup vocals to

Heh, involving Dan "Yeah, I'm in the credits" Swano with anything is never a bad idea, but I think he's probably got stuff of his own to attend to.

Actually, they borrowed my band's gear for that show. Last minute thing too. We lent them our amps and effects. I was using a GT-6 at the time. Peter used my rig, Mikael used my other guitarists.
Katatonia did the same thing.
That was a great show.

I wonder how long saintsatan had to look to find this...
Haha I was going to say I guess he didnt use an acoustic guitar during the Damnation tour
The new one as in their latest album?
Haha, I was wondering myself "Bleak, newest record? wtf, in which age do you live in?" and then I realized it was a post from 2001 ^^
