| Elite Fan   | Hiya Netty, nice to finally meet you.  Where in Oz are you from? Also, do you like Old or New U2? __________________ "Be quiet brain, or I'll stab you with a Q-tip!"

| I'm about an hours drive south of Sydney. As for U2..i like all their music..have been a fan for a very long time..20 plus years. Was supposed to see them again a couple of months ago but they had to pospone the tour till later this year. __________________ "It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing...such a little thing." - Boromir Koala Behr Bob #1 My LJ | |||

| Elite Fan | Southerner, eh?  I'm a really big fan of their old stuff....but I've become disconnected as of late...just didn't care for the style they chose to do. __________________ "Be quiet brain, or I'll stab you with a Q-tip!"

| Opeth are my favourite band, saw them in-concert a month ago here in Perth, they are Progressive-Death Metal. __________________ My avi is Donkey Kong's face in Zelda TP, behind that tree with the chickens... I'm your pain while you repay. I'm you. Sad but true. | |||

| Elite Fan | Are they on iTunes? Can I go buy them up? Is it like Swedish Death Metal. __________________ "Be quiet brain, or I'll stab you with a Q-tip!"

| I don't know about iTunes, but they have a few CDs. They are not your typical Death Metal band. They do growl but they also actually 'sing' clean vocals and have harmonies. One CD is actually pure singing with no growling and not that heavy, if you can find one track: The Drapery Falls. That track will show you every facet of what to expect from Opeth. __________________ My avi is Donkey Kong's face in Zelda TP, behind that tree with the chickens... I'm your pain while you repay.

| Elite Fan | What is the subject matter of their songs? Mythology? I'm very interested now....where's a website __________________ "Be quiet brain, or I'll stab you with a Q-tip!"

| Some are about the death of a loved one, one song is about the lead vocalists birth of his first child, one is about how we humans are making this world a baron place and making various plants and animals extinct...they are not your typical death-metal band. In fact, most fans of 'death metal' do not like Opeth because they do not follow the 'rules' of death metal. I admire Opeth for that. www.Opeth.com...Oh-yeah, they ARE Swedish! But not the bad Swedish Death Metal. __________________ My avi is Donkey Kong's face in Zelda TP, behind that tree with the chickens... I'm your pain while you repay. I'm you. Sad but true.

| Elite Fan | ....I've downloaded some, but Haven't had time to listen, hopefully this weekend I'll get some more time in front of the computer. Between X3, Over the Hedge, Sofachrome concert and yard work, that might not work out so well. __________________ "Be quiet brain, or I'll stab you with a Q-tip!"
