Opeth goes commercial?

[soviergn reaper]

it doesnt suprise me to see opeth in big mags before cause ive seen there merch
in mags for years but you dont have to worry about opeth getting big cause like
mikael said "were not reliable enough to be a mainstream band" and i agree plus
there just to damn bad ass!

HMV & Sanity stores in NSW.

I've seen Damnation in Virginmegastore. And Utopia of course.

Luz speaks the truth, he he!

afraid of certain band going commercial=selfishness

@wdiv: sweet userpic

@luz: how did your friend hear demos? i mean..mike hasn't even posted anything on here about progress on the album haha.

It doesn't matter whether he's posted or not. There's word going around that 90-minutes of material has already been written and recorded (demo-quality, I presume). I wouldn't be surprised if Mike has given a sneak peak to some of his closer friends.

[deliverance]

oh well hah.

 

[Dreadful]

Opeth's new label is "Unique Leader" records...they're now a brutal death metal band and will be going on tour with Disgorge, Psycroptic, Severed Savior and Decrepit Birth in the summer.....hypothetically

 

[Luz]

He's right.
The Martins are in Uruguay as I said in another thread, and they brought a fucking demo. Period.

I met a boy wearing Vans, 501s, and a
Dope Beastie t, nipple rings, and
New tattoos that claimed that he
Was OGT,
From '92,
The first EP.

And in between
Sips of Coke
He told me that
He thought
We were sellin' out,
Layin' down,
Suckin' up
To the man.

Well now I've got some
A-dvice for you, little buddy.
Before you point the finger
You should know that
I'm the man,

And if I'm the man,

Then you're the man, and
He's the man as well so you can
Point that fuckin' finger up your ass.

All you know about me is what I've sold you,
Dumb fuck.
I sold out long before you ever heard my name.

I sold my soul to make a record,
Dip shit,
And you bought one.

So I've got some
Advice for you, little buddy.
Before you point your finger
You should know that
I'm the man,

If I'm the fuckin' man
Then you're the fuckin' man as well
So you can
Point that fuckin' finger up your ass.

All you know about me is what I've sold you,
Dumb fuck.
I sold out long before you ever heard my name.

I sold my soul to make a record,
Dip shit,
And you bought one.

All you read and
Wear or see and
Hear on TV
Is a product
Begging for your
Fatass dirty
Dollar

So...Shut up and

Buy my new record
Send more money
Fuck you, buddy.

 

[deliverance]

why did you do that?

 

[fuscous]

Schmucki is such a cool guy..!

 

[Nico]

As of right now, I suggest you people put a little more thought into your posts. Alternatively, you could shut the fuck up.

 

[Schmuckatelly]

I didn't write that. Maynard J. Keenan from the band "Tool" wrote that. And I think you're missing the point, son.

 

[merci]

Maynard is a homo.

 

[Cephalanthera]

haha thats hilarious. thats a good song though but i dont know how it really makes a different in this debate. i never really checked the lyrics for that song but its not what i thought they were.

 

[dorian gray]

im genuinely nonplussed.

 

[Kenneth R.]

Ahahaha its funny when people accuse a band of selling out without realising that that means that they themselves must be the sheep being sold out to....

brilliant and true as shit.
