 Not coming back to pittsburgh!!!
After the awesome show they put on here a couple months ago, I'll probably be willing to drive to cleveland for this.
Also, High on Fire, Nachtmystium and Baroness are all excellent, or at least MUCH better choices than 3 and BTBAM. I saw Baroness a while ago and they were great live. ------------- http://www.myspace.com/altaic" rel="nofollow - http://www.myspace.com/altaic ALTAIC "Oceans Down You'll Lie" coming soon |

Drive to Cleveland  I thought 3 was a great choice, not so sure on BTBAM.. But yeah, should be an awesome show as High on Fire are f**king awesome live.. Too bad Baroness aren't on the East coast leg  |

BTBAM destroys all of those opening acts, at least as far as musical quality goes.
Hopefully I'll be able to make one of those dates. Seeing them play for only an hour at Prog Nation (not that I'm complaining; the show was phenominal) left me wanting more. ------------- www.last.fm/user/ThisCenotaph

I'm going to check out those bands and see if I can confirm that statement (for myself), because I enjoy Three very much and I absolutely love Between the Buried & Me. -------------

Let me clarify: I like 3. I saw them live by accident a while back and I was very impressed. However, I just can't get into their studio work. However, as good as they are live, when I go to see Opeth, I kind of want to see a metal band. I'd rather see something more extreme, which is what the bands on this tour provide. I really don't like BTBAM at all, and it seems to me they were chosen for the north american tour to appeal to the kiddies who like metalcore. HOF is an interesting choice since they are considerably more lo-fi and sludgy than Opeth, but they do good work and it'll be an interesting show. Nachtmystium is pretty extreme from what I understand, but so far I haven't been able to locate enough of their work to really get into it, though I've heard lots of good things from people I trust on the subject. Baroness is just great great great all around. Seriously. Get the Red Album. I guess if I see the cleveland date, I'll be seeing Nachtmystium, which is cool because I've already seen Baroness. ------------- http://www.myspace.com/altaic" rel="nofollow - http://www.myspace.com/altaic ALTAIC "Oceans Down You'll Lie" coming soon |

Mhmm, I liked from what I heard from 3 when I heard their studio albums and when I saw them live. They were f**king amazing  . Especially in the initimate settings they were playing at, plus I got them to signed me their poster  .BTBAM never really appealed to me as long as there are those annoying breakdowns, followed by more breakdowns  I've seen Baroness before, since they opened for Witchcraft, which they put on an excellent performance, I would love to see them again. Nachtmystium are sort of an interesting band. They play sort of Black Metal with clear psychedelic and Pink Floyd influences. Should be interesting seeing them live, but of course, the band I really want to see here is Opeth  I don't mind a prog band opening for Opeth, especially if they are a good one, but yeah I can see how you'd prefer a heavier band live. |

^Baroness is pretty good, but I simply can't get into their vocals. Wasn't BTBAM at the last show because they were all playing an off-date on the Prog Nation tour? It's interesting that you say "kiddies who like metalcore," because other than the fact that "kiddies" couldn't possibly appreciate the intricacies of the group, my friend told me that most of the Ozzfest crowd hated them because they weren't always playing metal/hardcore stuff. ------------- www.last.fm/user/ThisCenotaph

It says so just under "US Tour" in the opening post. They were leagues better than Arch Enemy, Three Inches of Blood and Devil Driver when I sw them on the Defenders of the Faith tour in May, definitely going to see them in November at the Academy. ------------- Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Still. the Annoying breakdowns get to me. And if you haven't been to a simple BTBAM concert, theres a large metalcore audience around. |

BTBAM's first album is pure metalcore  . I hate it. I very much enjoy Colors and Alaska though. The Silent Circus is alright.-------------

| Can anyone tell me about the Beaumont Club in Kansas City, Mo. This is probably where I will take my son to see Opeth. Since I am over the big 50 I will need a place to sit. I have info that there is some seating and the rest is general admission. Does anyone know what the seating and show area is like there? Thanks and Cheers! |

| They're doing a gig on Malmöfestivalen in Malmö, Sweden (duh!) on the 22th of August, it's free too (meaning half the crowd won't even know what band's playing). |
