Small club, big club.

What do you think is better, Opeth playin smaller venues or bigger venues. I prefer the smaller ones as i feel it is a more personal show.

 

[cthulufhtagn]

yep, i agree. pretty much only bands with huge stage shows (iron maiden) are better in big arenas

 

[Ermz]

Smaller, definately. Last time they came here they played in a small club-like venue and it was awesome. There was alot of band/crowd interaction because we were only an armslength from the guys.

Im with Moonlapse (since we saw them in the same place), small clubs are kick ass.

I cant imagine seeing a band in a stadium that seats 100,000, no wonder Roger waters got pissed off, all those people, fuck that.

 

[dorian gray]

they sometimes play at the bigger places when they open for bands like Korn, POD, and System of a Down. but that was back in the Morningrise days when they were just a support band. now they are headliners of big tours.

 

[NFU]

certain bands do better in certain size venues. depends on the band.


as for Opeth, im sure theyll always be a better experience in a smaller sized venue.

 

[cthulufhtagn]

Great White are really good in small clubs.








i'm going to hell on a rocket sled.

 

[Mr Samsara]

I saw them here and it ruled... that's all I can say. I feel almost without exception that I would rather be a few feet away from a band when they play. It is one of my main internal conflicts with this LA stop of the SOTU.. anyway.... small...definately small.

Out.

i prefer seeing bands in smaller places, in nearly all cases.

 

[JoeVice]

small

 

[Kenneth R.]

like most everyone has said, i'd favor a smaller place because of the way Opeth puts on their shows. bands like Maiden or Priest i'd rather see in a huge venue because that fits their stage presence.

With Opeth I just love the whole atmosphere of a small venue filled with nothing but Opeth fans singing along to the songs and cheering the good riffs, while Mike throws around jokes and people shout things out between the songs. I don't think that can be achieved in an arena or whatever.

 

[deliverance]

mike's a funny fucker. i enjoyed when he told the loud Philly crowd in between songs, "hush, puppies, hush"

 

[cthulufhtagn]

heh yeah, in sf last year before they played dotf he said "this is a song we came up with when we were in a circle, praying to our dark lord........satan" (cue audience roar)

 

[MasterOLightning]

Small venues are great, but when you live in a big city it doesn't happen too much. Although, the other night Origin played at this crappy little bar, and I met three of the guys in the band, and Gorgasm's drummer's wife. I got to watch the drummer from about four feet away because I couldn't get into the bar, but could see through the window they were back against. Awesome stuff.

[cthulufhtagn]

i just watched office space last night. for the billionth time. and it was still good.

i also watched "princess mononoke", and i was really high, and it was the singular trippiest thing i've ever seen

 

[Arnold Layne]
