A most enjoyable gig, but if they had taken time they spent in between songs, teaching everyone how to do death metal vocals, or rambling, and given that time to Nevermore it would've been even better wahah. Good stuff by everyone minus the Into Eternity, who were horribel.

It was the best I've seen them in a while. They played a really really good selection of songs. Particular When and Face of Melinda.

Nevermore is soo boring. Sorry. Mikael is funny so I enjoyed all of his banter.

Best band I've ever seen, period.

And Greg: I told you that was Eyal at the top of the balcony!

Aha that's cool man. I think I'm just not bathed in Opeth-lust enough to have really gotten into it. I quite enjoyed the first 4 or 5 songs, then I was ready to split. If you were really into Opeth, that was a good show to see I think cause they were tight and seemed to be into it.

Opeth did a great job, I have seen them before but they are great everytime. Nevermore was good too but their songs started to get repetitive after a while and the lack of death metal vocals was kind of weak as well. Jeff Loomis was still awesome though. All I have to say about into eternity is that their singer needs to join an Opera or something and their guitarists need to go home and practice their tremelo picking because it was atrocious.

haha I still think that was some other guy based on how he kept looking at us funny when we were screaming "HEY EYAL!" at him.

I sat on the edge of my seat all night... I've never headbanged from a chair before, but not having to stand and worry about falling over let me do it even harder and heavier than usual. If you saw a guy on the front row of the balcony on the right hand side in an Emperor shirt going nuts for every single song, that was me. 8)

Awesome setlist (fucking Blackwater Park <333333333333), awesome band, awesome night.
