I've tried in the past to get into God Forbid, but I honestly haven't liked ANYTHING they have released. I've completely ignored their new release, but if you say it's their best effort, maybe I'll give it a go.

I generally only dig on bootlegs there's some sort of personal connection to. Perhaps the idiot screaming "FREE BIRD" was me or maybe cloing my eyes allows me to recreate every pose/stage move because I saw the band so much during that period. Still, I generally prefer an excreable quality boot to a nice glossy overdubbed pro-tools nightmare of a "live album" that's honestly only a thinly veiled best-of compilation.

I hate to get off topic, but the mention of "old school bootlegs" made my ears perk!
I used to go to Record Conventions back in the late 80s at the Hillside Holiday Inn. I got into SO many metal and punk bands from buying cassette bootlegs.
Somewhere (either in my crawlspace, parent's house or storage) have tons of old thrash and punk bootlegs.

I remember first getting into metal and searching for the Opeth videos... there was the "Forest of October" and "Demon of the Fall" bootlegs which were really awesome.
This is actually the same exact video... It was the first result on youtube, I guess people still consider it a good one...
In Absentia is my favorite PT too. The following CDs were great but they just couldn't top this one.

Well, people have been talking about not yet realesed albums in this thread before. I think this thread should be about 2009 music overall, kind of pointless having another thread about 2009 music not yet released.

I haven't heard that much from Dream Theater. I have Train of Thought and the latest one and Train of Thought is way better than the latest. I would rather see them do something new... Without La Brie (or whatever his name is).

Fun Fact-- My roommate Willie was the guitar tech on that Opeth/Nevermore tour from 2001, and they're using my old Carvin guitar amp in that video, lol. A few dates into the tour, one of the guitar amps got busted and it was right before the Chicago date, so when I came out to the show I brought that head for them to use and they used it for the rest of the tour. Dunno which one of them is using it here, Mike or Peter.
It's funny that my amp got to travel to places and perform in venues that I still have not, LOL.
Anyhow, sorry to go off-topic, seeing that video just made me remember all that....

Wait who you think I am? Vito??
Well then you and the band can go call Mike up and see if he'll come play his cleaner tighter guitar playing for you guys, I'm sure that'll go well. We're just an Opeth wannabe band anyhow, according to some.
Ironic that everyone here seemed to react to that comment so quickly, heh.

You guys do realize that was 100% a joke... I tease Larry because he's as good as he is.
NOW, If I made the same joke about Vito...
