Opeth tour in the US with Bloodbath and Katatonia!!!!!

[Stinkfist]

If that's true....I'm moving to America.

 

[Bleakest Harvest]

Fuck america, they should do a tour of Europe first dammit! I'm greedy!

 

[Stinkfist]

Bet they won't play Ireland.

 

[Staffan]

Opeth lives not many miles from my house(in the same town) Why don't they play here?

 

[huevo]

ohplease, I'd eat my (soon to have) copy of Deliverance if that was true. Does anyone actually believe this?

 

[EvilDeadGod]

can anyone one make this official?>>?

 

[The Evil Toucan]

Doesn't Mike do vox for Bloodbath? Wouldn't that kill him doing double-duty like that?

 

[Ibsen]

Gee, I sure would love it if Mike would clear things up for us...hint, hint...

 

[Infinite Reach]

I hate to be a skeptic (because this tour would kick some major ass, even if I didn't get to see it) but would the guys really have the energy to play in *2* bands in the same night for every show?

 

[Elysian Blaze]

...it could be a short tour... one show only... in my living room... ahem...

 

[SpeakUSAorDie]

That'd be radworthy x10!

For those wondering if the musicians could handle playing in 2 sets in one night, as I remember Jensen pulled double duty while touring with both Witchery and the Haunted simultaneously. I know this doesn't necessarily mean anything, but it HAS been done before.

 

[Elysian Blaze]

You've got a point there. Also, Ihsahn did double-duty with Emperor and Peccatum.

 

[hornblow555]

I didn't know that Emperor ever toured with Peccatum (thought that it was a studio project), but cool!

Hey Elysian, how far away is Hagerstown from Baltimore? I'm in Baltimore to go to school, but I'm originally from NYC and CT. Are there any decent venues/bands around here? Also, do you know why it seems like most good metal tours seem to ignore the Baltimore/DC area altogether?

 

[Useful Idiot]

Hmm, did anyone else try going to smnnews.com? I can't find that piece of news there...sure hope it's true though.

 

[SentencedToBurn]

well its a couple days old now. you have to go back and look for it if its still there. it was there though, trust me.

 

[KielbasaSausage]

hmm wouldnt this bit of info be on www.opeth.com ?

 

[hornblow555]

Not necessarily, there could be details being worked out and such, but I wish we would get some official word on this.

 

[Elysian Blaze]

Hornblow:

The only decent venue, in my opinion, is Jaxx Nightclub, which is in Springfield, VA. Hagerstown is about an hour or two away from the DC/Baltimore area, so it's even worse for me. I think the reason DC/Baltimore gets skipped is because Baltimore is nothing more than a large ghetto. It's also the gonorrhea [spelling] capital of the US, so maybe bands like to avoid it.
