we met opeth

[Reveries]

hey this thread might seem kind of useless for you people. but opeth was in vancouver the other night, me and my band went to go visit them, it was the best five minutes of my life. Martin Mendez let me use his lighter lol, ill have pictures posted as soon as i get them developed. Rock On

 

[socialenemy69]

Did you go to the meet and greet at Scrape Records?

 

[Reveries]

Yes i did

 

[Risquit]

That's cool. I've always wanted to meet them somewhere random, like I'm ordering a burrito at some taco stand miles away from the venue, and I look over and see them eating. I freak out and go talk to them. Everybody else in the place is just eating their rolled tacos and never realizing they are in the presence of one of the best bands on the planet.

haha that must have been surreal

yah, i acted like a little fanboy...i was so excited. when wilson walked into the computer shop, i froze up...but i had to introduce myself, so i did...i was like..."uhhhh, are you steve wilson?" (knowing that it was him already)

wilson..."yes"

me...."holy shit ---long pause----you guys rock"

wilson "thanks"

i think that he thought i was a dumbass, but he was a nice guy, and i'm sure he understood.

 

[NoneSoVile]

I saw them on the deliverance tour a while ago and got to kind of meet them (i was at the front of the stage and there were no guard rails).

I got a picture with Anders friden a few years ago aswell, funny guy.

 

[FUBAR]

Wilson a nice guy....hmmm....I heard he was a twat

 

[Reveries]

yea i didnt like much of what he did on deliverance, i think ghost reveries pwns deliverance and damnation together

 

[in limbow]

What exactly did he do on deliverance

 

[FUBAR]

What exactly did he do on deliverance

Produced it and *giggle* added some extra growls

 

[Reveries]

i dont think steven did the growing, he did alot of back up vox and a lot of keys though. Him growling is hard to imagine, that little prick haha

Steven Wilson >>>> you.

 

[Reveries]

Yes steven is brilliant, but Opeth is far too good for him. Look at the albums that are better than Deliverance, they weren't all with him, except for Blackwater park(which was wicked).

 

[opheliaimmortal]

I met them at scrape records too!

And acted like an idiot.........

It's not like SW made Deliverance not be as good as the others...he didn't write the songs. He DID write Death Whispered a Lullaby which is one of the best songs on Damnation.

And as great as Opeth is, Porcupine Tree is still better.

Nice story. I wouldn't worry about it. You know if he had met David Gilmour at a store when he was younger, he would have acted the same way.
