With all the respect, I think that some of you guys are more in love with their "underground" derived identity than the music itself. I'm afraid Opeth isn't your obscure metal band anymore, the DD albums actually scored fucking high on the selling chart. Heck, their live DVD was playing at Sony's store and it's more and more common to see people with Opeth shirts. This is reality, like it or not. I mean, as long as you care for the music itself, what does it matter if Opeth have a Korn t-shirt or opens for fucking Britney Spears? In fact, Mikael said in an old interview that he did like a particular Korn song. Will I stop listening to Porcupine Tree because Steven Wilson is a fan of System of a Down? That's just crasy! To me, Opeth stayed true to themselves during their whole discographie and I'm confident that they'll continue to be so. If you guys are to worship your arcane musical taste, try Velvet Cacoon, Thergothon I don't know...but not Opeth. Otherwise, you'll be disappointed as some already are.

Hell Fuck yeah! Well said right there, Rensei. Well said.

but wait.. I thought Korn broke up after what's his face left to pursue Christianity or whatever.

unfortunately for our ears, they didn't break up after that.

 

[shark22]

I can't say for now. Ask me in about three months then I'll tell you if they went "down the tubes".

Where?

 

[Botfly]

There is no tour, it's just a one time festival/gig thing.

 

[FRUGiHOYi]

Yeah, like I said. Dumbass.

At the end of the day, Opeth are gaining publicity from this so called 'sell out'. They will gain fans no doubt, that means more money for the band, to produce more of the stuff we all love. I don't see the problem, take the shit in the short term, in the long term, everyones a winner. And I think the street team is a good idea... It means we get free stuff at gigs, whats the problem there?

 

[Melinda's Lover]

I find your lack of Gangsta Opeth pictures disturbing in this thread.

Isn't that what happened with Metallica?

 

[BRI]

No, Metallica just wrote shit music.

 

[Profanity]

No, Metallica just wrote shit music.

That's what happens when bands become popular.

 

[Julian Zembrowski]

I think it's way to early to start complaining about the cd that hasn't even arrived yet! Lets wait and see if RR helps Opeth any.

 

[Botfly]

Opeth are going to be the only band that stays tr00 and becomes popular.

 

[ViCyniC]

Opeth are going to be the only band that stays tr00 and becomes popular.

The laws of physics cannot be broken.

 

[Julian Zembrowski]

Just as long as their music still possesses creativity and integraty I'm happy with anything they decide.

Fucking spellcheck...

 

[Profanity]

It's anyones guess what this album will sound like.

 

[Julian Zembrowski]

Like Bass Player and LSD.
