This must be the most active forum ever :)

Yes, it's great to see a forum filled with people who love music and love dicussing it :) And who welcome other people's tastes as well! Weee!!
 
Although I would never call myself a "musician", I am trying to teach myself guitar and having some success, so...

(Amongst other stuff, I can play most of the acoustic parts of "Black Rose Immortal", they're not too hard, and it does feel so great to do...)

And, yeah, I don't usually go around posting stuff on messageboards, but come on, this is Opeth!
 
This is very true for me -- I played piano and studied theory really seriously, and Opeth is the ONLY band whose musicianship I truly respect.

That doesn't mean only my opinion on music counts -- I just think it takes a certain type of person to really appreciate Opeth. The type that listens to music as an activity, not just as background noise.

It's good and bad -- they've given me faith (for lack of a better word) in music, but they're ruined all other music for me! Argh! LOL
