I just made a really dumb mistake. I bought 4 tix for the Stones at NRG in section 135 from Vivid Seats. Paid $176/ticket before fees. Get the tickets and see that they're limited and/or obstructed view. Anybody got any advice?

Really excited for this, especially because their tour just began last week and they did some rare songs like Devil's Island!

In 2021 I had the M&G that became a Q&A and a terrible photo with the band in the background, I felt cheated. This time they sell Dave Mustaine M&Gs so I'll go for one of those, really want to get a Peace Sells or Rust in Peace record signed.

Where are you seeing Dave Mustaine M&G? According to band email, it says with "individual band member", not specifically Dave?

Please note, if you're purchasing a Dave Mustaine Meet & Greet and your personal item is a guitar, it must be a Dave Mustaine Gibson, Epiphone, or Kramer signature model.

I need to give this band more attention. Should be right up my alley. Have only listened to small samples. But the appeal is clearly huge (and by folks who's taste in music I respect)

In their world, there is Oldpeth, and newpeth.

Oldpeth is first 8 albums or so, still tons of variety with jazz, folk, progressive, but still metal (although damnation is an entire album that is chill).

Newpeth is still all of those things, but with one thing that hasn't shown its face since 2008.. death metal vocals.

So it's overwhelming to be diving into them at this point... start with.. ahh hell let me think about it.

And for whats it's worth I'm very wide and eclectic on taste. I range from The National and Gegory Alan Isokov to Meshuggah, Napalm Death, Carcass ( and lots in between).

oh hell you like meshuggah and carcass, so you'd have no problem liking oldpeth. Most Non metalheads can't take that kind of vocal.

Start with ghost reveries then. Set aside an hour, Track 1 and hit play. That album encapsulates everything opeth can be to perfection, in my opinion. It has beauty, darkness, heavy, jazz, 70s prog rock, catchy, chill.. it has everything in that hour.

Then explore the other albums of the 2000s. That is pretty unanimously their peak decade.

This is great advice for getting into Opeth, BP to Watershed is absolute PEAK songwriting for them. I love their older stuff too, and still listen to it regularly, but once they hit BP it was like when Pink Floyd hit DSOTM. Every one of the albums from that period is absolutely incredible IMO. So many layers, textures, and nuances to the songs, doesn't get much better than them in metal (again, IMO).
