same time bands need make some money and I believe Opeth do relatively well by touring. Mikael Ammot and Dark Tranquility IMO is best Swedish metal bands gets most money from tour and music, Sabaton maybe . Amarante do well I sup

Sometimes it just bothers me how fans get entitled. Criticism is ok but you can't dictate how an artist does his art (even if they decide to shit the bag and make duds constantly).

I dont mind Nik Holmes and Gregg McIntosh do ''disco'' music, as they did whit Lost but not under Paradise Lost name. Few Lost songs as singles was OK actually

reading my shouts i realise i'm coming off highly defensive (and a bit prickish). That is not my intention.

btw I will listen to new Opeth album once, same as all new ones after sound change.

btw there is one other band I wish will brake up, its manowar ;D Opeth concerts are OK since I believe they do play much old material .

I should have said "some fans" though, not "most fans". No idea about the actual distribution. I can say for myself, however, that I think of pre-2010 Opeth when I say that name.
