Opeth tour in March

[Spruce Goose]

Been listening to Blackwater Park over the past few days. Such a brilliant band. Can't wait to see them in March.

Anyone know when and where wht tix go on sale for Sydney? They are playing at the Enmore theatre, which should be very interesting!

I don't have Damnation either, but I will definatly buy it before the show. I hear they only play soft stuff on this tour. Anyone have any setlists?

The Enmore? Did they go platinum while I was asleep or something?

 

[Spruce Goose]

One Sec. I will check to make sure I am not full of shit

 

[Spruce Goose]

Yup.

Another band touring that I can't get into and find overated. Awesome music, great sound, but the songs just don't do it for me.

 

[spawn]

Yup.

Sydney Enmore Theater - 24th March All Ages

Alright, I dont know whats going on, but im going back to sleep and when I wake up I expect everything to be back to normal alright?

 

[Spruce Goose]

I got that from the official Opeth site, so don't blame me. It would be awesome to see them at the Enmore.

Blitzy, you suck

How can you say that it is awesome music and great sound, yet you don't like them. You are a strange little man.

I got that from the official Opeth site, so don't blame me. It would be awesome to see them at the Enmore.

I just never realised Opeth was as big as Judas Priest and Megadeth

 

[Spruce Goose]

Draven.... You said 'Who would want to sit down at an Opeth gig'

Opeth have 2 sides to their music. The heavy as shit side, and the quieter, heavy as less heavy shit side.

I think it would be a totally different experience seeing the quiter stuff played live as opposed to watching it on a tv.

What is the Deep Purple cover that they play do you know?

 

[Spruce Goose]

One other thing. I know they play their softer stuff, but does that exclude songs like To Bid you Farewell. That song is quiet all the way untill the the end. There is no death vocals, but there is a heavy guitar part. Does that mean thy won't play it?

Or some of the stuff on Blackwater Park that is pretty much all clean except for a minute or so that has heavy parts

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Easy, their music sounds good, but their actual songs suck.

They are good for background music I will give them that.

 

[Spruce Goose]

Actual songs suck?? What do you mean?

Not having a go, just interested in why you think the songs suck

 

[Blitzkrieg]

They just don't interest me, they are boring and all sound the same and can't keep my attention. They have a good sound and are clearly brilliant musos, but their actual songs do nothing for me.

 

[Spruce Goose]

I just read this setlist from their first show of the current US tour last week

master's apprentice
the drapery falls
windowpane
in my time of need
the moor
april ethereal
deliverance
blackwater park
*encore*
demon of the fall

I would lOVE that setlist in OZ. That is for the Lamentations tour. Do you reckon there will be any chance that they play that kinda set in OZ? Demon of the Fall

 

[Spruce Goose]

Yeah. Would be awesome. But I think that tour is for the release of the DVD, whereas we havnt had a tour for the release of Damnation yet. So I dunno what they will do really.

u don't have to mosh to enjoy a concert, hell no one headbanged at the Frank Gambale gig last year that i attended (so did Tinman666 but i didn't see him), and thats because it was JAZZ FUSION!

my point being? this isn't a metal gig

 

[Spruce Goose]

I went to the Gambale gig as well... Although I went to see Virgil. He is a fuckin monster on the drums!

 

[KoichCPA]

It's on my birthday, if you see me, you have to be me a beer.

 

[Spruce Goose]

Mate, I'll be you a beer anytime

 

[KoichCPA]

Is there Bar Ace near the enmore?


Cheaps booze before opeth is the biznatch.
