i dont think ive ever made a topic here...but i read most of them and reply when i see fit. one thing ive noteid (obviously) is that opeth fans are some of the most dedicated and die hard fans in the underground. my question, is how far would you go for the band...what would you do that other might find ridiculous? example: im a huge nevermore fan and i live (currently) in the usa. im going to fly to the UK to see them open up for disturbed on this coming tour. example 2, i flew from london all the way to fucking greece just to see them headline a show there back in september. example 3: i got to their show in nottingham 6 hours early and it paid off because i met jeff and van and we went to a pub to drink together for an hour, then they brought me back to the venu and i had dinner with them and watched soundcheck. yes, i had to brag about that:Spin: basically, ive spent A LOT OF MONEY supporting this band.

so how big a fan are you of opeth? anyone done anything others would consider nuts???:rock: :rock:
 
I'd set up a forum and website for other Opeth fans to make tribute songs/artwork/other stuff and so on.

Oh yeah, we did that!

Plug.

i am flying to Chicago to catch the "evening with opeth performance".

i booked my flight today, and i bought two concert tickets. i would never even consider doing anything like that for any other band; period.

heyy, i made the pic you got in your sig there! a link back to the site would be appreciated! :wave:
 
I would buy their albums, DVDs, shirts, and other stuff.

I would take a bullet for them too...they have more to live for than me:erk:

What would a world be without Opeth?!?!? So yeah.... I am a die hard fan...
 
I bummed a ride with a bunch of vegetarians I had never met to see Opeth.

I tell everyone I know to check them out.

I buy their albums.

That's all for now.
 
I have to agree with the simply buying the stuff and going to concerts near by ..
although, when I plan a trip I check if Opeth happens to play there, and if possible I would adjust that trip.
also, if I should happen to have a lot of money and time later, I would consider following Opeth on tour in America ... perhaps with a hippie van or something :D so they would wonder who that dumb ass is who always shows up everywhere ;)
 
I'd love to see these "evening with Opeth" in america. in fact, I remember posting that i'd give my left nut to see never-before-played material.
