Who's getting Ghost Reveries next week?

[Claws of Perdition]

That doesnt sound like him personally, but everyone snaps at some point in his life. Maybe he tried quitting smoking and was having anger issues.

 

[MFJ]

That Opeth/Agalloch comment is interesting. I never really saw a connection, but it just makes me think of the many reviews I've had where people said it sounded like old Opeth, when the only bands I was thinking about while I was writing it were Agalloch and Vintersorg!

 

[Ellestin]

Agalloch never sounded like Opeth in any single way, for fuck's sake! When "The Mantle" came out, the only valid connection you could make is that fans of early-Opeth might enjoy Agalloch due to the interplay of metal/acoustic chords, but that was it really.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

This was a lot better when I was high.

Oh well, still seeing them tomorrow night with DT and... DT.

Can't fucking wait for this concert. Dark Tranquillity has the most intimate and personal shows ever... just make sure you're right up front.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

I'm mainly going for Devin, but I'm actually pretty pumped about DT as well. Do you think they'll play any older material?

 

[MFJ]

Hmmmm... I'm not sure what they're doing these days, but they'll probably go as far back as "The Gallery". As far as I know, they don't ever play Skydancer stuff anymore

You'll love it, I swear.

 

[MFJ]

For the record, I in general don't give a fuck about Opeth anymore besides "Orchid" and "My Arms, Your Hearse". I don't care about seeing them live, either... I just want to see DT and DTB.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Yeah, I've already seen Opeth twice and, to be honest, I wouldn't be too depressed if we left after DT.

Then again, Opeth are like the guy who used to be your best friend back in high school but after a few years you realized that his antics had grown old and the two of you really had nothing in common any more. He still calls you every now and then and the two of you hang out and throw some eggs at your old principal's house and you think "Yeah, _____'s pretty cool dude" but you never really feel the urge to hang out with him again.

OF COURSE you pick the only 2 really worth listening to.

Except Still Life. 'kin rules! My favourite album EVAR for like 2 years back in the day.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

Wait.

So "Reverie/Harlequin Forest" is pretty damn spectacular, I'll admit.

Too bad "The Grand Conjuration" is TERRIBLE! uke: Worst song they've ever done...

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

they definitely still play "Punish My Heaven"

 

[Reign in Acai]

Should I say fuck Green Carnation to go watch the DT gig? I'm a much bigger fan of Dt, but it's a 150 mile drive.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

The only reason to see GC would be if they played LODDOD in its entirety.

Gugs: sweet, love that track.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Yea Punish my heaven fucking slays my nuts off.

Skydancer > The Gallery > Eh everything else they've done.

I'll strongly consider the DT gig. I don't know if I can handle 2 weekday gigs back to back anywho.

Plus I think GC is playing strickly acoustic stuff. Since it's a sushi bar and all.

 

[Ellestin]

The Gallery > Dark Tranquillity

 

[Reign in Acai]

Ellestin do you have Skydancer? I used to think Gallery was the greatest melodeth known to man. Then I picked up SkyDancer.
