OPETH--NYC, Town Hall, 2/23!!!

[Led Opeth]

what time did you get to the show? and what line were you on? the one by that rib place...or the one by the driveway?

 

[ashes_against_the_grain]

I was actually right in the middle of the walkway right outside the theater...I had huge white headphones on )))))))))))))

 

[Led Opeth]

wait your the short dude that was standing there?

 

[ashes_against_the_grain]

I don't know if i am short, but i was standing right in the middle between doors...

 

[Led Opeth]

lol oh arite i thought you said you were by the driveway, there was a short guy standing there with big headphones...so if your not short than it wasnt you (this guy was maybe 5'2)...you didnt see me walking around with my opeth jacket?

 

[ashes_against_the_grain]

There were way too many people walking by...It would have been better if we agreed where to meet ((((( I am not too shy but shy nevertheless when it comes to meeting new people...

 

[Led Opeth]

ditto lol...why didnt you stay afterwards to meet the band?

 

[ashes_against_the_grain]

I didn't know anything...We should have been more organized imho...I would love to meet more metalheads....

 

[Led Opeth]

well i didnt plan on staying, ive been really sick, last night at the show i had to sit out the last 3 songs, my whole body was aching...afterwards we just went to planet hollywood but afterwards on our way back to the train i saw a bunch of people up the block infront of the venue, so i said lets go wait for a little bit...like 15 mins later peth came out, we all chilled with them outside for like 30 minutes or so...

 

[Black Paragon]

I got my shirt signed.

And talked to clueless Axenrot.

 

[Schmeg]

I thought the show was pretty great. And the hot ballet dancers would do great in my bed.

 

[Ebonic Plague]

I agree About all the Gripping, STFU and quit going to the shows so someone who will appreciate the effort can go. Im going to the Los Angeles Show, Ill be the one smoking all the Purple Urkle. IF ya smell it come on over and smoke it!! Hey any OPETH MEMEBERS need to get Medicated (it is legal here ya know) on the best smoke in California look me up!!

 

[Ebonic Plague]

p.s. Why no San Francisco show this time... you did say you would come back on this tour !!!

 

[BigDaddylicious]

the best thing about this show was that kickass version of Closure, with the middle jazzy jam, and that hard finale with the double bass. i love when bands stray from their songs and give us something special live, and opeth just ruled on this song...

 

[Sfarog]

they werent triggered...they are just tama crap...thats why they sound plastic...fuck tama

obviously you're not sure what triggers are. those kick where PURELY trigger sound.

... except for the half of the song when they went out

 

[Black Paragon]

They were'nt. You can get that sort of sound with mics...almost every metal band has that sound, but they don't ALL trigger. Trust me it wasn't triggered.

 

[Led Opeth]

lol i do know what triggers are...i am a drummer...duh..and maybe you didnt see, there were mics on those kicks..not triggers...when you tune the batter head of the bass drums down, you get the ultra slappy sound, and when you use a wooden beater, or impact pad...it makes that slap stronger...duh there you go triggered sounding drums without triggers...i hate when people try to shut you down...but then its so fun turning it around on

ps....this method only works if you have mics, otherwise its a very shallow sound...duh again

 

[Black Paragon]

PWNED!

 

[gloco]

This show was taped by the way. It should be upload to the shn newsgroup in a day or two. Rig: dpa 4061>MMA6000>Iiriver H-140 (16/44).

Taped from the loge.

edit: I have 12 tracks and for the life of me I can't figure out where the hell the 13th song is based on the setlist provided earlier...
