This is an interview someone done to -The Almighty- don't know when, where or which magazine was, the thing is I got it, speaking about cassettes and Opeth rehearsals...hehehe.
'Interviewer: I've seen rumors that you were signed to Candlelight based on a rehearsal tape that someone else gave to Lee Barrett. True? How can I get a hold of a copy of this tape?
The Almighty: Actually, he signed us from the strength of a 10 second rehearsal tape. That truly shows what a genuine bloke he truly is. It's more or less impossible to get a hold of any of our rehearsal tapes anymore. I've stopped sending them out, but I've got a bunch at home. Anyway, Lee Barrett was Candlelight records. He got EMPEROR and us, and he did some great things for both of us. Now he's left the label, and it's spirit left with him. It will never be the same.'

This interview has quite a few years old I think, but who gives a fuck? The shit is: The Almighty has those rehearsal tapes, why don't you sell those, Mike?

Now that I noticed, this interview was made when 'The Almighty' was 24 years old!! daaamn...
Check this out:

Interviewer: I wear the most offensive of CRADLE OF FILTH shirts, spiked bracers, metal plated boots, and all sorts of shit at various times in public and have never had a problem, yet it was one time when the Morningrise T-shirt was all I was wearing, well, not ALL I was wearing, I did have pants and shoes!. (Note: I believe this guy is way too stupid) That I ran into some overzealous religious nut accusing me of Satanic belief and of helping to lead youth astray because I had a shirt that portrayed an 'evil haunted house' on it. Its your band, YOU explain what the hell happened, please! I don't get it!

The Almighty: Hmm, dunno! It's not very satanic, is it? It's dark, sure, but I don't know what the hell he was playing at. Well, them Christians never get enough. I hate them! I despise Christianity, but I try not to care at all. I get disgusted when I see people who are so...nice! It's shining through, those people gets my vote for being the sickest people on this earth. I bet they're raping their children at home. They are sick motherfuckers!

Interviewer: How old are you?

The Almighty: I was born on the 17th of April, 1974. That makes me 24 years old.

Interviewer: Is it true you got turned on to progressive music because your parents were three chord punk rock fans and you were rebelling against them?
The Almighty: Hell no! My father's into Elvis Presley and stuff like that, and me mum used to listen to Tommy Steele and Cliff Richard. They had Abbey Road by the Beatles, but that's probably the only LP that resurfaced in my collection. My interest for progressive music came kinda late. I think I got turned unto YES in 1989-1990.

Damn, this interview is awesome...the 'angry Mike' is funny.

[ThePoisoning]

what sucks is, not to long ago i thought i saw the original MAYH at my local record store used. i lacked the funds at the time...

 

[egdivle]

Id have loved that BP poster. Ive got the deliverance one in my room - but the BP one would have been awesome.

You think these are insane prices, look at these:

$1252 for ONE RECORD!!! - Porcupine Tree Spiral Circus Live Test Presing 12" vinyl
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=306&item=4063569510&rd=1

and

$771 for ONE CASSETTE!!!!!!! for Porcupine Tree - Love Death & Mussolini Tape
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=68048&item=4065962638&rd=1

Madness!!!!!

 

[Luz]

INSANE! Even for a collector fan and shit...

[Luz]

Well, you're right. But c'mon, if we had enough money to get one of those things, we'd go for it, at least some rare version with a bonus track.
Some of prices there are insane as fuck. I hope to get the money to buy the next Opeth cd or some rarities like that, you know?
But... a flag?? damn, that's way too much to spend money on, I can paint a flag myself or if someday Opeth come to my country or even Chile where I'm not so far away to go to, I'd buy one. But not for USD120!!! That's crazy!

\m/

anyone who pays that much for this shit is:

1. rich
2. retarded, or
3. both

 

[Sfarog]

Hmm.. thats funny, I have that original release of MAYH.. found it while vacationing in Poland.. I noticed it has no logo, so I bought it, and now they sell for $60+ hehe

thats cute Mike. Winter cold over there? need to pay that energy bill or what?

 

[Martyr]

I think I got my BP poster for 5 bucks

ack! this reminds me of one of those things that, a few years later, you're really embarrased about. i don't get what you guys think is so cool about this. i hope it's a joke, because it sounds like Mike is really stupid.

 

[dorian gray]

I think it's cool that people collect such rare items. those kinds of cash outlays might seem ridiculous to some but maybe the buyers are doing well financially. i'd love to buy some of that stuff. i just don't care enough to do so. i admire the people who do though - sounds like a pretty fun hobby.

 

[Blackhorse_Experience]

I won the deliverance radio edit but lost that sarmantia demo tape...

 

[Luz]

Could be, keep in mind that he was 24 when that kid did him an interview.

By the way I posted the entire interview if some of you want to read it.
Sorry, I had to post them in three parts, I have it on diskette so I didn't know the link.
Im going to sleep now, take care guys, have a good night.

I would worry about Ebay. Starting soon, they will raise sellers fees up 60%. Also they are going to take a higher percentage of how much the final cost will be.

I just sold some stuff on there for $1,000. They took $44 from me and if I had sold it next month it would have been $130. For sales $1,000 and above they are charging 13% or so.

They are getting greedy.
