I will see you there at the Palladium. It's a kickass venue, but a little far from me.

I shall be at the Philly show.

__________________

I am going to see you guys there.

Awesome man. We'll try to find you there.

__________________

really?

__________________

Yeah, as long is it isn't sold out by the time I pay my credit card bill. (mid-October)

You're also coming to the one at the Culture Room correct?

tell me what you look like, what youll be wearing. youll get to meet metal thrashing mad, transient, AND the execrator all in one show.

__________________

Pretty neat. Have your tickets yet?

Im waiting for Trans to get them.
I think i'll recognize you, you have dirty blondish hair right? Yeah, we'll tell you what we are all wearing too to make it easier.

__________________

You lucky cunts

__________________

You guys are probably familiar with the venue, is it likely to be sold out?
I have brown hair actually. And will likely be wearing a Nevermore shirt. Actually, almost definitely be wearing a Nevermore shirt. I have a Dreaming Neon Black one but I might wear one from when I see the show on the 30th in MA.

nice avatar

Well the place isn't too big and it's usually filled up by the time the last band plays. I wouldn't be suprised if it sold out for this show though.

I AM!!!

__________________

we are always front row too. nah, it never sells out

Im goin to the Latham show. Opeth, Nevermore and Into Eternity all in one night!?! it shall be a night to remember.

well i dont recognize you from the forums but damn, its gonna be like the gigs in australia with all the members under one roof, united by metal its a beautiful thing

__________________

its ok *e-rubs trans back* let it all out

__________________

Haha! I am definitely doing to hit the front row for Nevermore. How could I not?

plus, because saratoga winners is so awesome, theres no separation. when behemoth played, i had to watch out for the spikes on nergals boots becasue his knee was about 2 inches from my face. when suffocatoin played, steve was literally holding on to franks monitor while he headbanged

winners rules!!

__________________

Hohohoh.....I really thought about whether I should go see them when they come to my area, LA, and I just went on their site to find out that there's no way they'll make it to the LA one. They had problems w/ their Visa's or something like that. Kinda makes me glad I didn't buy my ticket, even though they're thinking about post poning it.

i cant wait to see Into Eternity. i havent heard any of them with their new vocalist so im looking forward to that. 10 bucks says opeth opens with The Grand Conjuration. that would be pretty sweet. Transient, whereabouts do you live? right near winners?

__________________

All Floridans: I expect to see you at the one in Fort Lauderdale!

Kalmah, I'm not going to make it to Florida unfortunetly. You better see both shows for me!

I will get my New York ticket tomorrow.

How come all bands can't come to Norfolk/Va beach/Hampton roads? I would pay to see these bands but to drive far to see them?... Have you seen gas prices? Damn it

__________________

nah about 30 mins from it

__________________

When two of my favorite bands are playing within an eighty and two hundred mile radius of me, you can bet gas prices won't mean much to me.

car pool man...throw down a 20 with 3 guys and take one car or theres always public transportation....

um what is this i hear about post-poned shows???

__________________

Ah, next time Nevermore comes around we'll be more organized

I don't know, what?

here

what is this pelican shit, i want nevermore god damnit. Fuckin denver gets fucked always. No ozzfest, no megadeth, no BLS, no decapitated, no behemoth.

__________________

EWEW EWEWEW EW PELICAN?

what about the rest of the tour for the love of god say they arent playing

__________________

They aren't playing for our show.

FUCKEN NEVERMORE!!!!!!!!!

__________________

Just got back from the show, it kicked ass. They even played shit from still life, my arms your hearse, and orchid, along with stuff from deliverance, BWP, and damnation. I took some pics and vid footage, ill upload some pics and maybe compress some videos and link it if any care.

EDIT-Pelican blew live, they were waaayyy tooo loud, sound like a bunch of messy shit. You know your too loud when you have to wear ear plugs, while playing, for your own band.

__________________

Post the set list maw fah! What was from Orchid!?

got muh tickets today.

__________________

Fuck dude, i cant remember set lists worth shit. Ill try, I wont get it in order though.

The Baying of the Hounds
Grand conjuration
Deliverance
In my time of need
Face of Melinda
(a song from My arms your hearse)
(a song from Orchid)
Bleak
Blackwater Park
The funeral Portrait

and 1 or 2 others, all i know is that it was good, they played a lot of stuff and it was good. They changed their setlist for us, everyone wanted to hear somthing from Still Life, so we spent like 10 mins trying to "noise vote" for what song we wanted to hear. The venue workers were getting all pissed cause they wanted mikael to shut the fuck up and play so they could go home, they played like 45 mins past they were supposed to end.

__________________

Aww, what song from Orchid!? Can you give me any clues? I would die happy hearing In Mist She Was Standing live.

yea i listened to that one, and it sounded like what they played.

__________________

Shit they played Bleak? I wouldnt have thought they'd ever play that, w/ all the overdubs in the guitar parts, but I guess it's doable live. I missed this concert, so I won't have a chance of seeing Opeth for like another billion years.

actually there touring the states again in febuary

__________________

Well, it'd probably be like far away, and in like the middle of the week on Wed. or some bullshit date like that.

no work/school is ever an excuse to miss a metal concert in my opinion

__________________

where did you here that

"Note! Nevermore will join as the main support on the 26th of october in Chicago instead of the 24th as stated earlier. Pelican will be main support in Lawrence and Sauget." -opeth.com


thank fucken god nevermore will be in chicago...THANK GOD!!!!!!

yea pelican blows, i wish i would have seen nevermore. Mikael told us that they would be back here in feb at the show. Tranny I agree, just cause its a school night shouldnt mean you should miss opeth, 1 opeth concert is more important than a good nights rest for 1 day of school.

__________________

Well shit, I wouldn't care missing a day or two of school, but my parents obviously would. Also, it's kinda hard when they're playing playing somewhere that's like over an hour away, and they're starting like sometime in the night.

so drive there, get back late and dont complain or be bitchy the next day.. when your parents see that your acting normal and not tired as hell they wont care if you go to a show during the week

Especially one as monumental as this.

I know, it's friggin Nevermore man!! You're right, this would've been worth skipping school for, Jeff Loomis! I dunno but I also heard that there's like this band called Opec or something like that, never heard of them though....

dude just got to school on 3 hours of sleep. its hell but its so worth it

Nov. 11 - Fort Lauderdale, FL - Culture Room

^ Anyone gonna be there? I'll be there for sure I'm staying with some family members the month of November so I'm gonna check it out.

Nice try:

"Favourite bands:
COB,Opeth,Ozzy,Maiden,Megadeth,stuff like that, and buncha shredders."

I don't know what your point is though.

Unless you seriously think "Opec" is playing instead of Opeth.

It was a cheap joke NOW DIEEEEEEEEE

hahaha, baying of the tacos

__________________

I'll be there with like 3 or 4 friends...

is Martin Lopez back on tour yet?

to bid you faretaco

nope, hes still sick or some shit. They got a replacment drummer named martin.

__________________

So Martin replaced Martin?

I belive Gene is still filling in for them.

__________________

jeez, thats got to be hard on his other bands. id think theyd find someone else to fill in


and justins gonna be pissed if his role model doesnt play

__________________

Oh fuck yeah...

__________________

I think thats all a cover up because hes in rehab. I heard some of the guys in opeth like to shoot up heroin

makes sense but is it true

__________________

He has a rare blood disease and suffers from anxiety attacks often.

__________________

the only thing wrong with his blood is that there isnt enough heroin in it

__________________

i didnt know that Martin wasnt going to be part of the tour. Anyone whos been to any of the shows yet, does their replacement detract from the music or is he able to all the things Martin does.

__________________

aghh..3 more days

They were still very kick ass live, but the drummer didnt have the demanding kick beats very clean, he was good, but one thing in particular was the off-beat part at the end of deliverance, it was a little tiny bit sloppy. Anothering thing was when they played Face Of Melinda off of Still Life, when it starts to get hard and martin usually smacks those hi-hats and it sounds all badass, the fill in martin closed the high hats during that and did a half note ride instead of a long drawn out open hi-hat whole note like the original song (i just noticed that because, its a very badass part in the song that would have been very badass live if done right)

But other than that he was good, he definitly didnt take away from the show, but I still would have liked to see the real martin up there, I am fond of his very very tight metronome like drumming.

I GOT TO BUY martin M. a beer, i invited him to my house after the gig too, i told him he can sleep with my g/f but he denied.

__________________

mike is a very funnny guy too, prepare for in between jokes through out the show, he said they were drunk off their ass too, but they still played a solid show.
