That's ok, I've already been called an "elitist asshole" enough times that I'm starting to accept it... haha... rock on.
I just think they're so good that people should remember them, you know? I guess it would be cool if they just dissapeared like a ghost and all the Opeth fans have that memory...as if actually seeing a ghost and telling others and having them scratch their heads. But it bugs me when I see Fred Durst go up on stage and the crowd treats him like a big shot...or Korn walking around like they're the sh*t. That should be Opeth!

Fred Durst is treated like a big shot because the masses need dumbed-down music. Opeth is way too much for the masses to handle. I know, I blast Opeth at work and it just doesn't sink in. It's like they can't even register it. Don't feel bad for Opeth because they don't get the recognition we all on some level may feel they deserve, because if Opeth wanted that recognition they'd play what it takes to get it. They'll be legends alright. King Crimson are legends, but if I ask your average mallcore fan who King Crimson is they'd probably not have a clue what I was talking about. Fuck the masses. What's so great about popularity? The masses just do what they're told anyway.

Tool fans would know what King Crimson is...well the more studied up ones...as Tool has said that KC is one of their main influences.
The really fascinating thing though, is that most Tool fans haven't even listened to King Crimson much, and yet they go on and on about as if they have heard it...just because Tool said it's an influence.
Sheesh.

Opeth and Devin Townsend have huge potential to become bigger in the music world, but honestly i don't care. It would benice for the artists to get the cash THEY DESERVE instead of some musical retard like Avril Lavigne, But i will remember them for the rest of my life and pass it down to my children (if i ever actually do hav kids) friends, family. And maybe they can be enriched as i am.

Fuck consensus reality
I'll always remember Opeth. Even when their dried up crones doing remasters and 'best o'f albums.
I don't want to sound like a gushing fanboy or anything, but how could I forget Opeth, after they've given me so much awesome music.

Isn't this kind of similar to Opeth and Camel? Okay, I only know two others who listens to Opeth (and both are because I played them for them - one has two cd's and the other has one record that he probably played twice or something) and I don't think they particularly care for Camel. I must admit that the reason why I first bought a Camel record was because Opeth was inspired by them, but I don't see many similarities between them. I'm also into Yes and other stuff like that (Iron Butterfly, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, The Nice, etc.), so it's not like I only listen to Camel because Opeth does. I don't see why I should do either. I know John Barry, who's one of my biggest idols, was inspired by some particular jazz guys and classical stuff, but that doesn't make me go out and buy their stuff. I just listen to his music. If I hear their stuff and like it, I'll of course buy it though.

I also first bought a Camel CD because of their influence on Opeth, or at least Mikael Akerfeldt in particular. I'd never heard of them before, but I was pleasantly surprised and quite enjoyed their sound. I now own several of their albums.
As far as Camel's influence on Opeth goes, I do hear certain aspects of Camel that could be the basis for inspiration; but I never really gave it much thought because it's from a totally different time period and musical age. I appreciate the band because they made great music, and I'm thankful to Opeth for opening up another level for me in the musical experience. Otherwise, who knows if I'd have ever heard them?
Same thing happened with Porcupine Tree, I checked them out because of their connection to Opeth, and now enjoy their music on its own merit.
Man, I love musical discovery.

I agree with Board - I worship Jimi Hendrix, who, in turn, worshipped Bob Dylan - but I CAN'T STAND Bob Dylan.
Ah well.
Ah well.

Opeth will be remembered like gods! Even if they release a bad album, they will still be remembered. The music that they've done so far is enough to make them legends.
