Opeth and Nevermore...

[James]

Didn't Opeth open for Nevermore a few years back?

I'm a little disappointed, as I've been anxiously awaiting a Nevermore headlining tour for the new album, but at least we get Nevermore instead of Pelican...

I'll be going to both the NY and Philly shows. It's a shame Pelican won't continue on the tour (with Nevermore joining of course).

I drove to Alantic City just to see Nevermore at Gigantour, so I think it's safe to say I'll be at both NYC and Philly too.

 

[Brandon_D]

i wish it could be Pelican and Nevermore the whole tour....fuck i want to see Pelican!

Nov. 09 - Lake Buena Vista, FL - House of Blues

James, though Nevermore is my favorite band, I will say that they were headlining that tour back then but most of the crowd left after Opeth as Opeth were a long awaited band... they had not done too many US dates thus far. Opeth are still very popular and I will say their new album is REALLY GOOD....just got it. It will be cool that maybe people will give Nevermore a chance this time since they are opening.

Agreed...but after missing Nevermore at Gignatour I'm ecstatic over this being confirmed.

I remember that! It was almost as if somebody pulled the fire alarm when Opeth was done. Wasn't this the same show that had Angel Dust going on before Opeth? I didn't even know who the hell Opeth was at the time ; I just wanted to see Angel Dust and Nevermore.

 

[rottingflesh]

I had seen Opeth at the metal fest in New England and they were telling me they were opening for Nevermore..I actually told Peter, the guitar player, that they were probably going to draw more attention since they had not been over here but for a couple of fests...had never been to Atlanta for sure... He came up to me at the show here and said "you were right"... i thought is was sad to see everyone go and miss such a great band.

 

[Prog Maiden]

Can you say "Halloween at the Troc?" YES!!!!!!!

Well, it's at the TLA, but close enough.

they're both good bands imo.

 

[Dark One]

Heh, yeah, I noticed that a little while ago - at first glance I thought it said "TBA" for the venue, and I just assumed it would be the Troc. I'm really surprised it's at the TLA - I just have to make sure I get my ticket early.

Yeah, I'm quite surprised myself. Someone told me that the House of Blues is trying to buy out the Troc. Not sure if that's true though.

 

[Petethedrummer]

Ann Marie are you going to be at the Philly show? I might be able to make it to that one

 

[Dark One]

Yeah, I'm quite surprised myself. Someone told me that the House of Blues is trying to buy out the Troc. Not sure if that's true though.

Wow - THAT would be interesting.

 

[BlindPanzer]

Loomis told me in Gigantour that they were going to have a headining tour in February... don't know how much water that holds...
