Opeth to Support Dream Theater in North American Tour[views:34825][posts:88]______________________________________________ [Feb 26,2008 10:03pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] I got a free ticket for this from my boss. I hate Dream Theater, but I'll watch them anyway since I'm getting a free ticket, haha. |
| ___________________________________________ [Mar 28,2008 4:26pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] Mike Portnoy Drum Clinic - Tuesday, May 20 - 4pm Daddy's Junky Music 165 Mass Ave. Boston, MA gonna try to check this out before the show. |
| _____________________________________________ [Mar 28,2008 5:09pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] Shit...I just realized this is on the same day as Defeated Sanity in Allston. What to do, what to do?! |
| __________________________________ [Mar 28,2008 5:11pm - sinistas ""] Pass off the ticket to a fat jobless dude interested in going. *looks around* |
| _____________________________________________ [Mar 28,2008 5:12pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] Haha, I'll have to introduce you to my boss then. If I give it up he'll give it to his girlfriend...you can replace her easy enough right? I mean, you'd only have to put out at least once. |
| ________________________________________ [Mar 28,2008 5:14pm - brandon...nli ""] Hey is that drum clinic free?? Im guessing not, Anyone know the price??? |
| __________________________________ [Mar 28,2008 5:34pm - sinistas ""] Once? I'd get off easy then...hiyoooooo |

| ___________________________________ [Mar 28,2008 5:38pm - dreadkill ""] that is, if you have money at that point and can go. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 29,2008 10:47am - immortal13 ""] I really cannot wait for this show. It's the perfect tour. |
| __________________________________ [Mar 29,2008 10:50am - Retard ""] Yeah, $85 is a little steap to sit down. When did the Orpheum go completely gay. |
| ___________________________________________ [May 20,2008 2:56pm - mikeofdecrepitude ""] Tonight. Now to see how well the new Opeth line-up compares to the classic. Not having to sit through Dream Theater is great. |
| __________________________________ [May 20,2008 3:03pm - cav nli ""] so according to ticketmaster this is totally sold out. i was thinkin about grabbin a ticket and heading up. this show should be awesome |
| ___________________________________ [May 20,2008 3:04pm - dreadkill ""] my friend might have an extra ticket if you want to buy it off him |
| _______________________________ [May 20,2008 3:07pm - TimMA ""] I'm still to this day completely baffled by the appeal of Dream Theater. |

| ___________________________________________ [May 20,2008 3:13pm - mikeofdecrepitude ""] I could never get into Dream Theater. So many better bands out there to listen to. I think they're overrated. |
| ______________________________ [May 20,2008 3:14pm - Yeti ""] i hate Dream Theater so much, i couldn't justify paying 50 bucks to go to a show, even though i love Opeth. |
| ___________________________________ [May 20,2008 3:17pm - dreadkill ""] i like dream theater because james labrie looks like an owl. his singing is iffy though. i only want to see a little of DT's set. seeing a full set by them once was enough for me. |
| __________________________________ [May 20,2008 3:22pm - cav nli ""] dreadkill said:my friend might have an extra ticket if you want to buy it off him how much is it? what time is the show ? |
| ________________________________ [May 20,2008 3:28pm - CMTAIB ""] does anyone know if tickets are still left? |
| __________________________________ [May 20,2008 3:29pm - cav nli ""] cav%20nli said:so according to ticketmaster this is totally sold out. |
| ________________________________ [May 20,2008 3:30pm - CMTAIB ""] ohhh yeah, but the box office is different than ticketmaster... so i don't know. i called them but didn't get intouch with anyone at the boxoffice. |
| ___________________________________________________ [May 20,2008 3:36pm - murph drinks grape drink ""] TimMA said:I'm still to this day completely baffled by the appeal of Dream Theater. I used to love Dream Theater, but I haven't listened to them in years. I tried a few months ago, but it is just godawful. Portnoy is a joke, and LaBrie's singing is most often shitty than not. I kinda got heavy into DT and Symphony X around the same time, and personally Symphony X is just so much better (especially drum-wise), except lyrically, where they both are terrible. |
| _______________________________________ [May 21,2008 2:41am - The_Moor_NLI ""] Well, for not playing anything off of Still Life or any albums before it, and only playing 6 songs, I was really pleased with the set choice-my fav. tracks off the albums they did play. DT was boring, and BTBAM (go on, hate) was amazing. I love colors and they chose the two best tracks off of there. 3 played a great set too. Axenrot and Akeson both fucked some shit up, but I was too busy flipping out in my chair to care. |
| ___________________________________________ [May 21,2008 8:24am - mikeofdecrepitude ""] It was cool that Opeth played the song "Heir Apparent", since it's the only sick track on the new album. I got there late and missed Master's Apprentices which I'm still pissed about. The Orpheum is gay, why would a co-headliner go on as early as 7:45 especially when there are two bands before them? As usual Opeth sounded tighter than a gnat's anus, but nothing from the first 4 albums, and to close the set with the Drapery Falls? Such a half-assed song for them; they could have at least done Bleak. It was great to attend a metal show where it's a bunch of kids getting chaperoned by their parents... So lame. |
| ______________________________ [May 21,2008 8:28am - Yeti ""] i am glad i didn't pay 50 bucks for an Opeth set devoid of anything from the first 4 albums. |
| ___________________________________________ [May 21,2008 8:35am - mikeofdecrepitude ""] Yeah, if I had payed for this show, I'd be even more pissed off. 50 dollars is a ridiculous price for a show, but I would probably pay that if they did a set consisting of only early material. They played a track off Damnation, when they could have used that time to play a classic like Advent, When, or Moonlapse Vertigo. |
| _________________________________ [May 21,2008 8:41am - ZenErik ""] Axe messed up a lot of double bass or it wasn't triggering properly. Was he using triggers? There were a lot of random missing hits in the fast double bass parts. I didn't even see him playing because my view was obstructed. |
| __________________________________ [May 21,2008 9:23am - BrianDBB ""] HAHAHAHA Dream Theater boring last night? Right... what about Opeth! Hey I like Opeth, but they're not exactly Excitement the Band live. Dream Theater definitely had a great setlist to me, but I like their entire discography so that doesn't count. Regardless, it was a goooood show. |
| ________________________________________ [May 21,2008 11:03am - The_Moor_NLI ""] If you're going to have a five minute solo, make it count. That shit just gets boring after a while because it's not interestingly written, it's just noodling. Too much of their shit is masturbatory. |
| ___________________________________________ [May 21,2008 2:11pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] def a fun show. i love the sound at the Orpheum. New Opeth song KILLED. I gotta say though i'm not feelin the Marshall amp that the new guitarist uses - sounded way to out of place for the clean parts. Overall i give the show a B- |
| __________________________________ [May 21,2008 8:09pm - scumfuck ""] i was pretty suprised with BTBAM, never really listened to them too much but they were actually pretty cool. Opeth was still awesome regardless of their setlist. Dream theater was alright, i'm not particularly into them but i was impressed. I just wish opeth could have played longer. |
| _________________________________ [May 21,2008 8:17pm - ZenErik ""] I'm not a big fan of Colors, but I wish BTBAM actually played longer. |
| __________________________________________ [May 22,2008 11:43am - Brandon... nli ""] I had a good time at this show, 3 was good, btbam played well. Opeth, which i was actually looking forward to seeing, was terrible. I was so bored, plus the whole "death metal" 'dont hate us" speach was so fucking lame. Plus their discrption of death metal wasnt even them. Fast drumming?? Yea double bass maybe. Dont get me wrong i like opeth but they are totally not a live band, plus they have way better songs than they played. Dream theater was as always in my opinion awsome to see. |
| ___________________________________ [May 22,2008 11:46am - cav nli ""] i know this is sort of a rediculous question but did btbam play anything from the self titled album? |
| _______________________________________ [May 22,2008 11:49am - Joshtruction ""] dream theatre blows. Nothing can bore me faster than them. Wait I take that back, Marks Rock club is still open right? |
| ________________________________ [May 22,2008 11:55am - aril ""] best time I saw opeth was when they did the acoustic set with Porcupine Tree. wait, sometime before that when they played stuff off of Orchid and Morningrise. can't remember when that was. |
