I usually share this same outlook when i go to shows like this but i have to say that i am not at all disapointed with the line-up. Opeth and DT are great. I had never heard of 3 before but saw them open for PT not long ago and was entertained. Of all these bands, BTBAM has got me the least excited, however i like some of their shit so over all i think it'll be a great show.
Opeth - short sets again?

Yowzers Mr Samsara! 
Lol. Might be interesting
I see what the guy is saying, 5/6 Opeth songs just would NOT be enough to satiate my desires, yet still worth it, including the banter!

you guys are lucky. I'd pay for a ticket just to see 2 Opeth songs! (or even a new song)
They don't even come to my country.
With the 1 hour/6 tracks it's a similar length to most of the albums, I'd be happy with that. Lamentations is as close as I'll get to an Opeth concert without blowing my bank account + taking out a huge loan!
Be happy they're playing at all.

They are SUPPORTING DT, so I'm HAPPY AS HELL thay are getting the one hour!!! Seems like a pretty good deal to me!
I've been reading nothing but BAD things about the venue where I'm going to see them, and they only have an hour...all of that is cool with me. If it helps the band get exposure, awesome, I'm all for it. And I'd stand behind a pole, in a bathroom, out in the rain...whatever it took to listen to even two songs by Opeth, if that's what it took.
I guess some of us are just harder to please than others, and you can never please everybody...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but most (if not all) bands that open for someone don't have any banter/chat. They just do their sets, while obviously headlining band has the time to chat with audience.
So no, I don't think you'll hear that much of Mike's banter.
Another thing...I have seen an episode of metal injection where they had interview with Mike, and they briefly discussed the "issue" of his banter. He said he knew that people usually hate it, but thinks it's better than what he did years ago, when he would be just like: "Thank you, our next song is...".
Conclusion: I'd rather hear Mike interact with crowd than not at all.

sometimes he just babbles without much charm or direction though. kinda frustrating when you could get a whole other song if he didnt.
I've decided that we'll play the edit of "Grand conjuration" and then I'll spend the rest of the time screaming things like "Come on muthafuckers!"
and "Get a fucking circlepit going!", "You fuckers fucking rule!", "You guys are fucking sick!" "Show us them fucking horns!"...and "Yeah!!!"
That's a pretty decent show right there, huh!?
I know I waste some time talking shit, but it's either full-on babblin' or nothing at all. I have no preferences really, I dig both.
As for the DT tour we'll have an hour and I think we're doing 6 songs or something.
Cheers

What's wrong with a bit of side show banter and good humour? We cant dictate what they can and cant do anyway...what do you think this is...a Burger King order??? "Yes and I'll have 12 songs please with a side of seriousness, thanks":zombie:
Mikael has a sardonic sense of humour which makes for very unique between song entertainment. Pearls to swine:Smug:
