Opeth/Dream Theater

Flip-Hkd · March 26th, 2008, 02:25 AM

Anyone lucky enough to go?

Not me =/

Once I get some money to my name, I am hoping to go to the May 27th show in Richmond, VA.

I don't really care about Opeth, but I must see Dream Theater.

For some reason, I am curious as to why not. You don't really have to justify your opinion at all, I'm just wondering what it is about Opeth that makes you not-so-enthusiastic about seeing them. They just don't hit you right?

I'm going the May 18th show in Albany.

I'll probably leave after Between the Buried and Me.

Yeah that's pretty much it. They aren't the vein of prog-metal that I enjoy.

Talented, but I just...their music doesn't do it for me.

I don't have money, either (I'm missing out on Rush this year. Yeah, its that drastic for me) so I'll be skipping this show as well. I don't care for Opeth and Dream Theater, while very awesome, is not a must see show for me. I know people that are going that I'd love to join but I can't afford it. The only show I know that I can afford is a $20 Edguy/Kamelot show in October.

I WILL get those tickets. I will probably be doing something else while Dream Theater is on. There new stuff bores me. I mean really, the only album that struck me as good was Scenes from a Memory because they actually put some soul into that album.

Wow. "I must see Dream Theater" is too much, but then you top that off with not caring about Opeth? I always thought the good music was made by people who put emotion into it. Maybe I am wrong.

**The Eye in the Sky!** · March 26th, 2008, 07:20 PM

Or maybe good music is determined by the listener.

**Noise** · March 26th, 2008, 10:52 PM

You should need a liscence for that sort of thing.

**The Eye in the Sky!** · March 26th, 2008, 11:34 PM

Yeah, because people that have different musical tastes from yourself are retarded. I know, I know, story of the internet.

AllThingsEqual · March 27th, 2008, 11:23 PM

This doesn't have to do with taste. I just don't see how mindless shredding is better to listen to then death metal that goes into intricate acoustic passages.

**The Eye in the Sky!** · March 27th, 2008, 11:30 PM

It has EVERYTHING to do with taste. I'd rather listen to mindless shredding than any death metal. Look, I disagreed with you based on taste!

Because:

1) All Dream Theater is not 'mindless shredding'. See "Forsaken", "These Walls", "Endless Sacrifice", "Octavarium", I could go on.

2) I have heard Opeth's material. I just do not like it. Period.

Why is that so hard for you to wrap your head around?

AllThingsEqual · March 28th, 2008, 04:01 PM

Opeth are certainly more original then Dream Theater. That is why.

**The JoZ** · March 28th, 2008, 04:06 PM

Originality does not always equal good music.

And even if Opeth are a 'good' band, that doesn't mean I have to like them.
