Opeth or Testament?

[EricT]

There is no right and wrong oppinion ^^
Its just an oppinion.

No, there are wrong and right opinions. For instance:

You should go find and extension cord, plug in a toaster, jam it up your twat, and then jump into a pool < Right Opinion

Opeth live is better than Testament live < Wrong Opinion

Yes.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

I won't even listen to Testament on album and I'd still see them over Opeth.

Because they were great.

Whats your opinion about Watershed?

 

[MoonlightOrchid]

Hmmm.. Their older albums were better, I admit, and I do prefer their older songs too.
But judjung from their show in Athens 3 weeks ago it was pretty awesome. Thats why I'd prefer Opeth over testament.

 

[EricT]

WELL YOUR OPINION IS WRONG!

 

[MoonlightOrchid]

err ok :S

Tbh, I've never met an annoying Opeth fan...they're just like everyone else who likes a particular band. I consider myself a fan of Opeth...well...some of their stuff.

Now people who post on Opeth's forum, that's another story.

I remember reading a post with some guy who wanted to off himself because Ackerfeldt called him an idiot. I didn't try to talk him out of it.

Mikael sits with his legs crossed like a woman. Chuck Billy drinks beer and parties.

 

[Dead Winter]

Yeah but Mike also sang in Bloodbath. I'll let it slide.

Chuck Billy IS a cool mofo, though.

 

[slashvanyoung]

I like Opeth quite a bit. I'll probably be seeing them two days in a row soon, travelling after them like some demented groupie... yet I say: TESTAMENT.

Because it's fuckin Testament. It's not even a variable.

Mike drinks beer, parties, and lives off his music.

Chuck only does the first two.

I think Watershed is scattered, pretentious and horrible. No songwriting at all really.

i agree with the first part of this sentence but i do believe there was songwriting involved...that record seemed extremely watered down to me..and pretentious...
I have all of Opeths records and i actually do like the band a great deal (most of you are aware of this)...I just couldnt really stand that record..just so..blaegh!
Live, I enjoyed Opeth...they were a bit static on stage but sound quality is pretty good..
Testament on the other hand really gets into the show..theres a little bias here because i got into Testament when i was an ankle biter so i have this attachment to that band...seeing them live was awesome! they were energetic and they sounded great..
I think one would have more fun at a Testament show as opposed to Opeth..i do think one should see Opeth atleast once though...

 

[Shpongled]

Opeth is definitely the more interesting band musically, and that's what I always consider first. Add to that I never really got into Testament to begin with and you have my answer. Opeth for sure.

 

[Dead Winter]

The only reason I'd go to see Testament would be if they played tons of stuff from Low and The Gathering. I've actually seen them before but they just played stuff from the first four albums. Great show, Skolnik blows my mind, but I was kinda bored.

 

[EricT]

Their setlists have been pretty awesome...

Here's a standard:


Intro
Over the wall
The new order
The haunting
Souls of black
More than meets the eye
DNR
3 days in darkness
Trial by fire
The legacy
The preacher
C.o.t.l.o.d.
The persecuted wont forget
Reign of terror
Alone in the dark
Disciples of the watch
Formation of damnation

Then there was this random show:

Over The Wall
The Haunting
Burnt Offerings
C.O.T.L.O.D.
Raging Waters
First Strike Is Deadly
Do Or Die
Alone In The Dark
Apocalyptic City
--------------------
Musical Death (A Dirge)
Eerie Inhabitants
New Order
Trial By Fire
Into The Pit
The Preacher
Day of Reckoning
Reign of Terror
Disciples of The Watch
--------------------
Rapid Fire jam
More Than Meets The Eye
The Formation of Damnation

Chuck said that was a one time thing, but you know how bands are...

And then when they're opening:

Over the Wall
The New Order
Souls of Black
Electric Crown
More Than Meets The Eye
D.N.R.
Practice What You Preach
The Formation of Damnation


So yeah, they're playing some fucking WICKED setlists. See them if you can.
