Fucking awesome show..Opeth was awesome..and catalyst were dope... good times

At some point I need to watch Opeth and not be hammered

how long was opeth's set?
DTB?
DT?

long set..couldnt complain

ended the set with deliverence

like an hour? 1 1/2?
I'm going to see them tomorrow, but the show sets at 6:30.

6:30? any clue what time opeth is going on? i'm not familiar with how lupo's runs national shows...if they are early or late

show will be over by 10:30 for lupos need to get it ready for techno night desial bs. the'll prolly be on at 830-9ish. i already got my tix. im heading to newport for a chili cookoff then to the show.
woo chili, beer, opeth!!

OPETH=CRAPOLA

your posts=pointless

Opeth makes me sleepy. The only album I fucking love is the one everyone hates. I was told once they were "girl metal".

DT rules though, I could go to this show but I don't think I'm going to. I've seen DT a couple times, Opeth about ten times, Jon's going though.

Have fun tonight!

i went to the CT show last night. it was great. too many wiggers and mallgoths though. devin townsend band was awesome. they played vampolka and vampira which surprised me. i didn't think they'd play vampolka. dark tranquillity played the first song off the gallery, but focused mostly on the two most recent albums. opeth was awesome. akerfeldt was hilarious as always and played the beginning of lady fantasy by camel. that and under the weeping moon were my favorite parts of the show.

i'm most likely going to tonight's show too. i hope some of my friends are going. i haven't talkd to anyone about it. i'm the only one of my friends going from new bedford, so i guess i'll find my friends there if they go.

dreadkill said:

thats one of the reasons Im not going
DT are one of my favorite bands, but I really wish they would play some older stuff
but I really want to see Opeth, never seen them

I dont know, Im torn, I really want to go but I dont

yeah, i wish dt would play more older stuff. i like their new stuff too, but i'm sick of hearing the stuff from damage done and character.

doors are at 6:30? damn that's early...

The shows out at 10:30! Wicked early. I'm half regretting not going because I have NOTHING to do now. Pretty gay.

you can always drink at one of new bedford's fine boozing establishments.

i might hit up a bar or 2 after the show, since it will be out so early.

so much traffic.
leave early

dreadkill said:


no car, I'm trapped.

I got pizza money and zine work to do, anyway.

I just saw them in NYC at the Chronology show. Great show....not the best I've seen them, but a great show, and they played a ton of shit from Orchid and Morningrise.

All together a great show. New Yorkers are bad fans because they really dont get that excited, and because most of them still don't know who Opeth are.

pam is hot.

what zine do you run pam,,, is it RUPURED?

* RUPTURED, sorry.

pam does aerobix

I called Lupo's.

DARK TRANQUILLITY starts at 7:15, OPETH at 8:15.

I better hit the road!

DTB is on now. the price tag is steeper than the palladium would be by a few dollars, but this venue is like the orpheum (smaller than the palladium, less "pit" area and the balcony is farther forward). it rules. the sound is fucking awesome in here.
ps: thank you carina for leading me to the back door.

the_reverend said:
hahahaha that sounds naughty!
but see i told you he'd be there =)

your TM got caught off but i think you said yer gonna call me with him

wooo

first off this venue is awesome. the ceiling is not high and the lights have webbing to block the sound from echoing. also, they have the speakers set up perfectly. two archs pointing to the balcony and then straight speakers for the floor. whom ever set this place up went to school instead of to daddy's junky music.

devin townsend band: short set didn't hear vamppolka, but they did pay vampiria and one other song that I knew off the last CD. they could have played it before I got in front of them, but I don't know. Devins banter was very much like a watered down version of what he would do with SYL. their set was really really short. But what are you going to do.

the 2 times i shot there lighting was soooo dark, mostly reds and of course no flash allowed

lighting was ok. a D2Hs/D200 with a 50mm 1.4 would have been killer here with out flash.
the iso 800 limit on the D2X was a little bit underexposed, buut iso 1600 with a 1.4 and the noise redux from the D2X and fo'getdboutit

dark tranquillity: another really short set, 30 minutes. They also had some equipment issues which kept them off stage. they did mostly play newer stuff which is cool. I honestly like their CDs, especially damage. It's really catchy stuff. they only played one song off that CD, I think it was the first one. The band members were all over the place on the stage. They also retain the nicest band on stage as they were giving a million hi-5's/hand grasps. I remember them doing the same thing at the lupo's show in the old location. they had to cut a song off the end of their set because of the issues in the beginning of their set..

i'm so bored, i wish i was at this show.

the sound here is awesome. you should be here instead of playing sitting at home, playing sonic the jack off

i wasy busy in the morning and afternoon, fuck, all that's on tonight is headbangers ball.

no SNL? I might be able to get home by midnight.

the best part of tonight's show was when i accidentally walked into the ladies room when i had to take a piss. some girl slapped me. it was one of the funniest things that ever happened to me.

she slapped you?
give me a fuckin break
man people are lame

the hypocrisy... if a guy punched you the cops would get involved. though, I'm guessing if he slapped you there would be a wicked akward pause followed by gay sex.

the roads boston north. um.. well, don't go on them unless you don't want to have to turn or break. if you do want to fo'gedboutit.

man, that place is so much better than the palladium. I hope they steal more shows.

pics are up...

http://www.absolutmetal.com/OpethPicsProv06.htm

pictures uploading.

oh my fucking god was that incredible

it's been a while since i rocked out so hard...but then again it was opeth and i was a little "inebriated"

hey im still up drinkin at my buddies place after the show....

upsides of tonight: The lighting and sound was AMAZING (tho a lot of reds... other than that greens)

downsides: in order to get into the photopit you essentially had to get onstage and then go over and hop down... sooo you were basically stuck in the photopit once the band started... because of this i decided not to shoot Opeth... well this made me discover the next downfall.... you cant see in this venue... let me tell you i tried... ya im sorta short... (like 5'7" with my boots on) and i couldnt see from any level in the venue...

that and i missed DTB :(

i'm 6'2" so i could see everything...even though i was headbangin to fuck throughout the whole set next to the main bar...only stopping the headbanging to buy a drink

i also remember a backflip on washington st...and talkin to the good rev about a million different things

I had a fucking blast!

$12 parking
$20 door charge
$28 at the bar
$40 for a longsleeve + Fan Pack = 2 stickers and a button

OPETH live = priceless!

Dan (GOREALITY and ANOXIA) and I went to Jerky's after, it was killer, we won like 9 games of pool in a row and I got a hot chick's number.

succubus said:

it wasn't a typical face slap. it was more of a flurry of little slaps all over me.

you can park on the street for free...

You guys like Closeth?

SacreligionNLI said:


How can u rock out to Closeth? Their music is so BORING

you think this because you're a dullard...their music is brilliant

closeth? that is the worst dig I've ever seen.

the_reverend said:

i agree with you, rev. what the hell is closeth supposed to mean? is that supposed to be offensive to people who like opeth?

MetalcoreSUCKS said:

music is not always about rocking out. life would be pretty boring if the only music in existence was stuff you could "rock out to."

I heard you were going to see green doornation tonight.

indeed i am. i hope they are as good as closeth, dark boobquillity, and the devin kookaburra dfjkhgdhfj.

AHAHA those bands == pnweddddoode

atleast I'm not in the back dreaded sirence.
ajahahahahaha

ha

the_reverend said:

hahaha, even Blowpeth would've been better...'cept Opeth is badass, so that would be gay

HailTheLeaf said:

exactly, that would've been insulting. even gaypeth or fagpeth, as weak as those insults would be, would be better than closeth. we need to give this guy a lesson on how to properly make fun of bands.

as we speak that guy is trying to figure out what the fuck he meant

I didn't go. But you got a picture of one of my best friends looking like a 13 year old girl staring at johnny depp...and for this I thank you!

Okay, let me try and decipher the retards thoughts.

The opposite of OPEN is CLOSE, so if you OPETH the door than you can CLOSETH the door. Somehow he thinks it's clever I bet.

poopsmcgee said:


JUST COME OUT OF THE CLOSET ALREADY AND KISS ME HARD

about an hour and a half. do you know what happened to the drummer.

huh? opeth played for 1:50minutes. that was also their drummer on stage. are you talking about at the beginning of the tour when the SYL drummer filled in for like 12-15 shows while their real drummer went back home for something?

axenrot is still filling in for lopez

really? I thought he came back. I honestly couldn't even see him from the photopit.

OPETH IS PLAYING AT GOODTIMES IN SOMMERVILLE!?!?!!?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!

how about opeth is nothing more then morbid angel covering pink floyd.

That's one of the most retarded things that I've ever read.

AUTOPSY_666 said:

thats not true, theres way more retarded shit on this board then that. and if you dont hear it you're not paying attention to either band

I've been into MORBID ANGEL since "Altars of Madness" [1989] and into OPETH since "Orchid" [1995] was released, I guess that I just never made the connection that your fine-tuned mind has.

AUTOPSY_666 said:

oh my god, no way. you're so old school.

Yeah, and just old in general.

ha you're old.

And sexy.

AUTOPSY_666 said:

umm

Yeah it really sucks that I was 17 in 1987 and saw BAD BRAINS on their "I Against I" tour, CIRCLE JERKS on their "Wonderful" tour, SUICIDAL TENDENCIES on their "Join The Army" tour, AGNOSTIC FRONT, DR. KNOW, FANG, MURPHY'S LAW, JERRY'S KIDS, YOUTH OF TODAY and DIO all in 1987.

I wish I were young so that I was too young to enjoy all the good shit back then.

hmm i gotten to see most of those bands, maybe not then but hey i enjoyed what i got to see.

clearly by being shat outta your mothers vagina flaps at an early time then me, makes you that much greater.

indubitably

For sure.

yeah man this show was insane. i was obliterated. when i woke up in the morning i thought "wow, they didnt play deliverance" then i asked my friend what they closed with. hey it was Deliverance. i can vaguely remember standing outside talking to i think The Rev. i dont know though. man i was fucking shitfaced. the title of this thread is perfect Opeth + Booze = Goodtimes

you kept quoting me from the messaboard and shaking my hand.

hahaha holy shit. i only have fuzzy memories of vomiting on 95 and 146.

Opeth setlist anyone? I hear they played something of Orchid

Nash said:

Under the Weeping Moon.

dj death said:


yep. I didn't shit on your band, did I?

AUTOPSY_666 said:

opeth: I started my night off in the back of the club, behind the stage. I guess opeth is having issues with stalkers. So the security back there was tight and they actually thought that I was a stalker! This show definitely broke my rule about not going to shows that had people with flashing horns on, but what ever. they hit the stage at 8:30 and didn’t stop (besides a few minute reprieve before the encore) until 10:20. damn! Mikeal was hilarious. He told the story about them getting a bigger banner cause of all the festivals they were playing. I guess theirs looked a postage stamp so they got the cover of ghost made in to a huge banner. They a track from the new CD. The something else and then played a track from orchid under a weeping moon. it was intro’d with “we wrote this when we were young and horny. Now, we are old and horny.” At this point I noticed that there were a lot hippies around in the crowd, weird. Grand conjuration. There were also people holding up fake guitars in the crowd. I didn’t understand that.
Yet another funny quote: “deathmetal was just a trend I jumped on to be cool like WASP” as he started to play some riffs that didn’t make it onto the deliverance CD, but stopped so they could play drapery falls. At the end of this epic song, they walked off the stage up they were called back to the stage by the crowd. Mikael made the audience answer his riddles 3. if they crowd got it all right then they would play another song. The question were all about the Scorpions
1) first LP
2) what LP had a banned cover
3) what band besides opeth got dropped by koch.
With those answered all correctly, they ended at 10:20 with the 13 minute long delieverence

Old man Dwyer, how much was cocaine in the 80's?

the_reverend said:

BAHAHAHAHA! that was hilarious

i don't remember deliverance either...although i do remember everything else perfectly...and everything after the show...just not deliverance...i don't know why

was i just really drunk for only 13 minutes?

you're so drunk, you forgot about posting about the delierance thing already.
DURRRRRP!

the_reverend said:

i'm fairly certain i didn't...and i'm not drunk either!

that's a bad sign

I liked Dwyer better with long hair. ZING!

I had my head shaved with a straight-razor yesterday.

i pooped a hammer

I shaved my poop with a hammer. Sorry, I'm drunk - but it beats snuffing hookers.

So, someone shaved MC Hammer with a poop?

Hrm.. I think my punk/hcore phase came along in 1990 (didn't last long, thank gaud!) and while I was 17 in 1987 I was listening to Mercyful Fate, King Diamond, Lizzy Borden, Celtic Frost, Accept, and ST. I remember going to see Slayer & Overkill at the Living Room.

Mikael and I (after the Opeth show) were hanging out talking about the indie scene, He said "I've heard of your label, it's good what you are doing, we all start out somewhere similiar":



For some crazy reason, I handed out 200 sampler cds after the show. Not soley to promote my label, that's part of it, but also to get these kids to listen to something they probably didn't know existed out here.
MC Hammer will be on the next sampler

That Sacreligion dude (Tony?) sure did dance around and yell out at the show. Man, you got a killer death voice! Kinda reminds me of the male vox on Project Hate. Good stuff!

Mikael is the man. that dude seems like he's from the 70's but is completely aware of everything. he even knows my crappy photography and this website and told another photographer about it.

He's younger than some of us.. uh oh.. we were born in the 70s! ikes!! hehe

I was born in the 70s.
the end of 1975 to be exact.

i still won't forget when i gave one of them a hard time about giving me back my pen
haha

that was peter you goof!

i didn't say it was mike...you goofy goof :p

jrb2971nli said:

haha thanks man, yeah i was fucking loaded at that show.

Dang Rev, you and Dwyer are regular Ronnie James Dios!

i wish i was ronnie james dio.

i really don't wish i was dio

I'm working hard on the devin townsend.

i would do a search of that photo of aaron and devin...but searching is disabled for me...

MetalcoreSUCKS said:

ur an ass

ha, way to dig up an old thread.

dreadkill said:
I thought ssomeone posted photos of the show...

poops mcgee is an awesome name.

JayTUS nli said:

does that mean you think opeth is gay?

dreadkill said:

thank you kind sir

dreadkill said:


lifes not about butthole pleasures

ha

No, I just thought it was funny.

poopsmcgee said:

one of those fags looks like a young steve carrell

dreadkill said:

To continue what people were saying above, Mikael definitely is the man. Almost everytime me or any of my friends go to an Opeth show, we wait outside for the guys afterword. One time, when they were touring with Porcupine Tree, we went outside after Tree's set (who were closing), so Opeth had gotten off the stage hours before and were clearly all relaxed and just hanging out on their bus. Us and a few other people were outside the bus and chanting Opeth and stuff, and a few of us annoying fucks even waved for Mikael's attention through the front window. How shitty is that? But he came off the bus and was really nice, signing stuff for everyone there, taking pictures with his arm around everyone who wanted them. Just really nice stuff. Then he talked to these other two people for about 10 minutes and got back on the bus.
