trent sobered up and got crappy like metallica. opeth is the best show i've been to, and highly recommend for the jokes in between songs

i saw opeth a few months ago... people were yelling out the names of Opeth songs that they wanted the guys to play, like happens at every concert.... so i decided to try to be a smart ass, and i started yelling the names of 70s prog rock songs, hoping to make Mikael laugh. i think he might have cracked a smile when i started yelling out the names of Camel songs, but for the most part it seemed like he didn't pay attention. i really was hoping i'd make him laugh. =p

he proly didn't notice you. i think he finds one or two people he can focus on to make them feel uncomfortable. he basically called this teenage girl a slut in the nicest way, i'm not sure she understood, the first time i saw them.

last time i saw them mikael went on for ten minutes about martin smoking joints while taking a shit and reading donald duck comics. the band was laughing their asses off while the crowd was confused.

Shit man, I went to a Black Sabbath concert in August and they had seats out on the floor. I mean, I don't know how they did it back in the early 80s, but I'm sure people got wild.

Before the Who had an incident with fans getting trampled in 79 almost all concerts had a general admission floor. After that most arena shows had seats on the floor. First mosh pit I saw with seats on the floor was Megadeth opening for Dio somewhere around 88? They put all the chairs in a pile and moshed around it. Some people got pushed into the pile of metal. Was fun to watch from the cheap seats...

Most arena shows have seats on the floor? Sounds like you live somewhere lame as fuck. I've only been going to shows since the mid 90s and have never seen seats on the floor. Hell, most shows back in Kansas were nothing but GA.

Love Opeth. If I could see a Opeth-Dream Theater-Symphony X show, I'd be ready for the grave afterward, cause I know it would never get any better for me, all downhill from there.

I don't do 'big" shows much anymore, I prefer smaller venues. But I saw Slipknot a few years ago headline a local day long festival. That crowd was fairly violent.

Sepultura in around 96 was the most bloody show I've seen. Insane. You do not get on the floor at all at Sepultura unless you are ready to defend yourself or die trying.

Who tries to sit in the floor at a concert klendathu? Might as well stay at home and listen to headphones.

Nine inch nails is pretty soft, not sure what was expected there lol. Bring me the horizon were dreadful until Sempiternal which is an amazing album. Best pit I've been in was As I Lay Dying, concussion and blooded the fuck up from that one and I'm not the smallest of guys
