Saw Opeth at the midsummer nightmare thingie...they don't move much, do they? after seeing Arch Enemy really go fucking wild, Opeth just standing there and strumming, like someone had nailed them to the floor, was a bit of a disappointment. Musically they blew me away...I was something of an Opeth novice, but someone should stand behind Mikael with a cattle prod and fucking get him going every 5 minutes or so.

I can't really picture Opeth jumping around....
What's the point? Hehe.... I don't need more
than the headbanging! >
) It's up to the
crowd to do the moving around!
*mosh mosh*)

I never thought of Opeth as 'jump around' music really...I think that they would rather concentrate on playing that running around the stage

Opeth's music isn't really the kind where you'd picture the band move and mosh around the stage I think, their performance fits the music if you ask me...
Yeah, but even the most grandiose of prog metal bands at least leave the spot they're on once or twice. And Arch Enemy really got a pretty energetic crowd reaction (and no, they're not crap, they can play their instruments), whereas even the most old school death metallers were feeling a little dubious about moving around in Opeth's set, because the band were so static. I'm not asking for Olympic gymnastics...

You don't get it.
Opeth's music is not music designed for jumping around. Why would they jump around? It would look really silly if they started to jump about during Credence or something.
Why not just headbang?
