Well, I guess we can write off Porcupine Tree.

Again, if this is really you, SWEET! Thanks for the great music. I loved Deadwing.

Perhaps you might add a short review for "Thick As A Brick"?    (Don't yell at me for asking guys! Nothing ventured, nothing gained ya know.)

That's not fair, Swilson shouldn't be able to review his own albums.

I assume hoping for you to stop by in Norway in the near future would be getting my hopes up, no?

Be careful with your emotions, you wouldn't want to scare away Mr. Wilson, now would you?

Personally, I'd actually like to ask him a question about the guitar effects on the album The Sky Moves Sideways, but it's not the end of the world if I don't know.

Hopefully they have thick enough skin to take some of the negative responses and not get scared away. Tact is a good tool.

HEY! I'm an artist.
     

Ahh, Mr. Wilson, what a pleasant suprise, maybe I will stick around this site for a while.

Are you still doing a project with Akerfeldt and Portnoy, and if so, what is the kind of sound you guys are trying to achieve?

Best of luck from OpethG. Hope to see you on tour soon.

]Hi MichelAlas, not making it to Canada this time around, but next spring for sure.  Love the city - we played there at least 4 times between 2002-05 - and referring to our website I can tell you that the venues were Club Soda, La Tulipe, Medley, and Le Cabaret.  Guess you missed us at all those huh?S[/QUOTE]

Hi Steven,
                 you'll have to forgive me but I was testing to see if your presence on this site was the real deal... No I wasn't at the concerts BUT it is true that PT was at those venues notably Club Soda in November 2005 so this is the real deal! Good luck to you and hopefully you'll participate in these forums once in a while.

Damn....The man himself posted in this thread....AMAZING!!!!!

Welcome to Prog Archives Steven!!!!!!

How about some info on the proposed Wilson/Akerfeldt/Portnoy project??

Well myself and Mikael have been talking about doing it since the say we first met back in 2000.  The problem has always been time.  Since that time both bands have become more successful and the pressure to stay on the road and keep producing records has been high (not to mention I already have way too many extra-curricular activities already). I'm sure we'll get to it some day, but there will be at least one more PT studio record, and one more Opeth studio record before we do.  In the meantime there's actually a demo of one of the songs written for the project on my myspace site if you would like to get a flavor of how it might sound.
