Right. Epic Opeth trip, and my best friend's first Opeth gig. Saturday was just pure fucking epic, long story short we were sitting at the table next to the Gods themselves in a café before the concert and we shook their hands and talked to them. I. TOUCHED. MIKAEL. FUCKING. ÅKERFELDT.
And I just got back from the one they played here. It's kind of cool that they still play venues that hold only 600-700 people. Much respect to them and their manager peoples. Also it's fucking awesome to have Opeth talk in swedish instead of that silly other language.

Oh snap!!!

That's AWESOME! I really envy you :D Was his hand sweaty? I bet it was sweaty :]
Yeah that would be cool to hear him speak in Swedish. When he speaks English, he sounds British to me. Weird. So I take it you liked the show, eh?! :lol:

You should've asked to share his meal with him.

And then a photo.

And then a guitar.

Still wondering (have since liek forevar) why it sounds like Detox is played in D to me, when Devin and everyone else is playing it in C. It is seriously driving me insane. I'm playing along on guitar just like Dev does and what the tab says, but it sounds wrong.

I think I've read somewhere that it's played in drop-D. It would explain why he plays Detox on different guitar on FTATR DVD.

Oh yeah - Happy Saint Patrick's Day, peoples!!

I'm actually trying to enjoy it by wearing green this year! :mrgreen: I always forget. I feel vindicated for forgetting because there's not an ounce of Irish in my blood. *shrug*

Are you all wearing green?! Be festive now...
