Soundtrack to your Escape was great, Come Clarity was a huge letdown (though it had a few good songs) and when all was thought to be lost, they rose from the ashes and released A Sense of Purpose which I thought was their best album post-Reroute to Remain (not including Reroute to Remain). Sucks Jesper left I've been a fan of them since Colony days, and since then have seen them 8 times live. I am such a whore for them lmao. Them Iced Earth and Opeth.
hahahah nice, i'll only get it if I can get your autograph though. ^.^ You better be ripping people apart in the pit. Unless we see you during "Harvest" or something. Don't think there is much to mosh to there. lmao. I saw them before Ghost Reveries came out, and it was an awesome awesome show. They played Black Rose Immortal too, which took up like a 1/3rd of the show. They are lucky it's such a bad ass song ^.^ Edit: Just checked out the set list for that DVD and it's going to be a day 1 buy for me. Blackwater Park is my favourite album from them and it's awesome that they played it in it's entirity.
Yeah seriously. That gig was probably the single greatest thing I've ever seen/heard. I'm right at the front, just left of the middle. Judging by the other DVDs people don't seem to mosh much at Opeth gigs, but the few people I were standing next to went all out, so I did too. Paid £150 for VIP tickets and got to meet the guys before the show, get stuff signed and watch them do the sound check Best day ever.
Sounds like it man. I would have loved to have seen that. I've gotten to meet quite a few bands and have gotten some cool autographs on random shit but not Opeth yet. I await for their return to AZ lol But yeah there usually isn't a ton of moshing at Opeth shows but during some songs they played people ripped it up. I like to start them ^.^ throwing seemingly helpless people in to get some hair on their chests.
Hahahaha damn man! That's dedication for you! Don't get me started on tattoos, I'm known as doodle man to most people.
I love tats man. My next one is going to be my first non-band related one, and its going to be my son's left footprint on the top of my left foot (ouch) and below it, it's going to say IAN in the Misfits/Danzig font lettering. My wife and I are both getting it. It's going to be effin sweet.
Super sweet man. Gotta give kudos to anyone who does a tatt to symbolize their kid. Good going brother! P.S - Your wife is a tough cookie too!
