Opeth now is business!

[Ermz]

It's annoying, but the DVD is done and is gonna start gettin sold so there's no more use in bitching for a lost cause.

Sigh...the band will be very upset over this thread. Thanks to you Mikael is going to have a lot of trouble sleeping, you know how worked up he gets over this board.

Thanks a lot, way to take the bands feelings into consideration.

I love Opeth but all that thing concerning the new dvd and probably a live album is making me sick.

Idiot.



Oh and also, obviously Opeth is business. Opeth are Professional musicians. It's what they do for a living. It's how they earn money to eat food and survive.

And I don't know about you but an Opeth Dvd isn't exactly the worst thing that could happen to a fan.

People should learn the difference between a record label, a record company and a publisher, these kind of threads really get boring. Do a search on this subject and you can read Akerfeldts own opinion on this. Incidentally, I was there for the filming and seeing myself screaming 'fuck yeah' during drapery falls pretty much owns. The dvd is great.

exactly

remember kids, a band can still be good and not be working two other jobs or on welfare, being a musician can earn you money! and sometimes, you can produce some quality music in the process of earning your paycheck

well, if the DVD sucks then it is a bad thing to happen to a fan.

No band sells out until they use cheap tricks to rake in fans and their money. I don't see Opeth having naked women on their album covers or in their videos(*cough* dimmu borgir *cough*). I think I even read an interview with Mikael and he said he didn't like how bands do that. I have no problem with a band becoming successful as long as the success is based on them having excellent music...in which case Opeth obviously does.

Until Opeth cut their hair and start making cheesy simple 3 minute song albums and use visual ploys to rake in cash they will have my respect.

i ag
besides, they did somewhere around 100 shows in the past year, i think more than that.. now that's dedication to their fans... also, i heard that they were only in contract to cut 1 album when they were recording for deliverence and damnation, but cut 2 albums for the pay of 1... if that's true, than that's some dedication to the music and the fans

Idiot.

Fuck you!


Ps: I didn't use any agressive terms with anyone here.

Some of their material (i.e. all of the material I most enjoy) isn't allowed: Bad

Opeth's relatively passive attitude: Bad

Opeth are getting more recognition: Good

There's another DVD of a band I like: Good

On a random/semirelated note, Tool are incredibly lucky to have complete creative control over their music (since the beginning they've had their own record label I believe!). It must be absolutely awsome to be in that position.

You should be glad that you have something else to watch than bootlegs with crappy audio and video quality. Creds to Opeth for making a DVD.
