Curtain falls during Opeth set

[MALSIV]

damn, I was thinking of saying the drapery falls before i clicked and then i saw that the both top comment were faster :c

[CapnKeys]

I know it was already said over 9,000 times but... The drapery falls

[Alexaf]

This was the same show that John Petrucci's guitar rig took a shit and Portnoy played an impromptu 10-minute drum solo to fill in the space. Amazing tour, even if that curtain almost killed Opeth :D

[BrianCRX90]

poor keyboardist and drummer lol

[TheSwagganator]

Mikael: It looks like...

(Puts on sunglasses)

Mikael: The Drapery Falls

YEEEAAAAAHHHHH

[Thrashead666]

I only came to this video to write 'The Drapery Falls'

I was beaten many times.

[dan12con]

I was there!

[Spudling666]

HaHa The Drapery Fa....Oh what the hell.... :C

[k5lta]

it couldn't handle the Epic ness so it said fuck it and fell down.

[ozzzd]

i was in the 4 row in the front in that show

[SolidarityIX]

I bet there are so many people who made that joke in their head, then clicked the video to find that it had already been made several times.

[ChaplainDMK]

anyone know when we can get this.... thing... out of here? :P

[Dr3amerDaNnY]

HAHAAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA =)

[OurBrainHurtsALot]

haha "who cares about drums and keyboards anyway"

[darkmagicofhell]

everything falls when Opeth plays!

[TheSlex666]

"The Drapery FELL" HAHAHAHA

[diabeticmonkey]

I am almost 100% positive that I made the drapery joke first.

[Megadedly]

@diabeticmonkey Nope.

[nectar42]

actually this happened after the baying of the hounds. and sorry to everyone but someone at the concert already yelled out "the drapery falls!"....i was there.

[bigthene5er6ish]

DAMN IT. I WAS GOING TO MAKE THAT JOKE TOO.

[dazlingahmed]

I think that happened after he had sung " the drapery falls "

[macadoolahicky]

i feel really bad for the drummer

[Lamantincore]

:D :D :D :D

[ew913]

[gaussman08]

[MetalGuitar4Ever]

@gaussman08

[iceseekers]

[arrestedshrimp]

haha i bet the drummer is like WTF????

[daed4]

@arrestedshrimp It's a drummer they don't know what is happening ahnd they don't give a fuck.

[olliemedsy]

@daed4 very funny. i'm guessing you acually thought that was funny when you posted it?

[jackpaice]

xDDDD I love how they reacted to it

[matzchase]

So Spinal Tap!

[goluanty]

laughing is a little imp)

[team322]

i don't understand what does he say of so funny :S

[RhythmDramatist]

who is laughing like hell!!!!

[KoryWB]

Is that corduroy?

[Opeth987]

I was at the Prog Nation Tour in Tampa in '08, and I guess it was DT playing a joke on Opeth, but the curtain kept going up and down when Opeth was playing The Drapery Falls.

[CreatureofMasquerade]

@Opeth987 I bet it was fucking Portnoy lol

[Varlwyll]

Wow... Talk about "Drapery Falls".

[hialeahrider69]

god there my fav band and im born and raised in miami and to see the coincidence of the draper falls!! IM also a rigger/stage hand and thats y IMC rules and the union suck!

[ChannelxxAUSTRIAxx01]

Haha ROFL why does this not happened during the drapery falls?

[LimpBizKid199]

[VivaEmptiness420]

[pocketfiend36]

Quote from cleveland's prog nation

"Its freezing out here, can you see my nipples?"

[nicchioss]

THIS SONG TALKS ABOUT NIPPLES, ABOUT MIKE PORTNOY'S NIPPLES!!!

[AliceDamnation]

[Akermin]

"The Drapery Falls"-- Literally!

Hahahahahaha

[DraneXproductions]

hahahahahahaha.

[nicchioss]

ahahahahahaha

you're great

[darkest1hourxx]

I CANT BELIEVED I MISSED THIS SHOW!!!

[Eveluk]

Nice way to deal with a moment like that =)

[CaptTroll]

that would piss me off, one of the reasons i got into opeth was for their drumming.....

[metalofdamasses]

"The only way I could make this more memorable is if I took my cock out" - michael

[nectar42]

the Drapery Falls! Literally!

[NWG92]

Damn, I was gonna say that!

[HayabusaNoTsuchi]

Ha! That's a good one!!

[Jopeyy]

yeah that's what took my attention also when i was seeing them when they were at finland ! their playing is so precise and there's just no complaining !

[dani1928]

ROFLLLLLLL

[harmony0404]

"Who cares about drummers  and keyboard players anyways, right?" - Mike is a fucking amazing dude. LOL.

[mjcane]

I remember this, I started a "This is bullshit" chant that went on for a good three minutes.

[Nephilimgodrising]

The drapery fell lol!

[runeskyler]

I was about to post that....

[thefucingchamp]

lol me too

[Metaalhoofdje123]

lol i think everyone thought the same xD

[BrutalEpicMetal]

Yeah I think everyone one did too because I was thinking it too. haha. It's funny as hell.

[WinterTroll]

Lol I think every opeth fan thought that as soon as they read the video's title

[NoShelter15]

@Nephilimgodrising hahah lmao

[kakeselger]

@Nephilimgodrising lol

[lantenec]

@Nephilimgodrising the drapery falls... dammit, I didn't even think of that. I'm going to have to study up on my Opeth...

[Ship0fF00lz]

man i remember that it was crazy. at the beginning they said how it was theyr first time in miami beach. and thats the welcome they got. when they came back half hour later someone i know yells "Free Bird!" Mikael laughs and plays a Lynard Synardesque tune on guitar. Can't believe it took so long to put a curtain up

[Epicmayhem]

lmao i remember that! it was an amazing gig.

[Metalunited101]

Yeah I was there at this concert. To the left side, front row. This concert was in Miami at the Filmore. It was a great show by the way and my second time seeing Opeth. Lots of things went wrong at this show. When the curtains dropped on Opeth, there was 20 minute intermission. Not only that, but when Dream theater came on to perform their first song which was "Constant motion, John Petrucci's guitar cable burned out and they had to hurry and get another cable. It was a great show anyway.

[hialeahrider69]

that was my first opeth show the drapery falls literally

[WCannibal]

The Drapery Falls...

[Cooldragon23]

Haha true XD

[imjowsef]

LOL. I was just thinking that when i first saw this.

[metalfucker82]

LOL :P OPETH 4 EVER <3

[ShinraDream]

Did they continue to play? Any more of this video?

[Sydanyo]

Yes they kept playing, but only after the curtain was brought back up... which took about half an hour.

[Gibson201]

lol i was at this show pretty close, everyone was pissed they couldnt play for like 45 minutes afterwards

[FirstSnowJ]

"Is that corduroy?"

"Who cares about drummers and keyboard players anyway!"

lmao, gotta love Mikael!

[kikkojoey]

Oh my god! Why this?!?!

[bloodymarvellouspro]

the drapery falls........good song......good pun

[IamEarlSoldier]

lawls

[SoullessOpeth]

What are you fucking laughing at??? That fucking piggy squealing fat girl laughing, that's annoying. This is disrespecting.

[dimedizzle]

she sounds like a wicked witch

[MrsKoffer]

@SoullessOpeth cause it is actually funny and the coolness of mikael blew them away dude

[metaljoe7197]

I saw them at the hard rock cafe in Orlando,Fl with Three,Dream theater and Between the buried and me it was the progessive fest

[malgoul]

hahahahaha that was cool

[CradledToEnslave]

lol he looks under

[InFlames231]

Hilarious moment, wish I was there.

[rustedempire]

the drapery falls...hahahahahahaha

[discursion]

"This next song is called The Drapery Falls"

[michon56]

haha symbolism, great stuff

[Soilwar]

"who cares about drummers and keyboardplayers anyway?" LMAO

[M1nstr3l]

some tech guy wanted the drapery falls i bet.

[8Rheanna8]

lmao.. good one!

[bacon666bacon]

LMFAO!

[consumingtheeyeballs]

They were much better at Revolution =D

[consumingtheeyeballs]

I was at this show! And I am going to see them again tomorrow at Revolution! Who else is going?

[consumingtheeyeballs]

and the best part is that there are no curtains at Revolution

[necromicus]

you could say the drapery falls

[FormerlyMrBean667]

I was about to say that!

[BL4CKW4T3RP4RK]

I was going to say that, too.

lol

[carlmanu]

great concert I was there in the front row next to the VIP. I also squeezed myself inside the VIP to meet them but they didnt show up. in fact only Portnoy, Rudess and Petrucci showed up. so since I can't get enough of Opeth I will see them again on the 20th of this month in Fort Lauderdale's Revolution stage.

[Neoclassicalguitar89]

"wait for me Axe, wait for me, i have to tune my guitar!" HAHAHAHAHAHA

[Syclonus181]

I was at this show, it was really funny to see Mike cracking jokes about it. When it happened, some dude sitting near me yelled out "the drapery falls, literally!". fucking hilarious!

[contortionconspiracy]

i cant wait till i see them sept 6

[hat3d111]

I was at this show! They eventually had to get off the stage until the venue could put the curtain back up. When they got back on he said something like "I could pull out my cock and you still wouldnt forget about the curtain.. so instead of pulling out my cock.."

[punkdude543]

mikael = hilarious.

[LostBlossom]

"Who cares about the drummer and the keyboard player anyway?" =D

[consumingtheeyeballs]

Damn, I thought they would never come back out. It sucks because Opeth could have used that half hour to play some more stuff off of Watershed. Other than that, Opeth was amazing. I hope I can see them again in October!

[milan9191]

it would have been hillarious if the curtains fell during "the drapery falls"

[DeathsOneDesign]

LOL!

[psyshock918]

Maybe it was planned

[Sportsnut7520]

Haha, that's pretty funny.

Oh, and I like Dream Theater better than Opeth, but they're both really great bands and seing them both in one night was just amazing.

[herg111]

that sucked .. like 30 mins of delay .. but it was worth waiting .. Dream theater > Opeth .. but opeth 10/10!

[serpentinessarecute]

Im really sorry to end you imaginitive thinking by saying that Opeth will never come close to Dream Theater. How can you say that Opeth is more talented than Dream Theater?! Are you high or just simply in utter denial? Instead, just appreaciate Opeth for their own unique hypnotizing, melodious and broody style, instead of provoking Dream Theater to smite them

[Opethvince]

I think Dream Theater sucks at the music part. But pwn in the technical/emotional part AS INDIVIDUALS, not as a band. Now that is my opinion. I really don't like their style for some reason, and yes saying that DT are untalanted is retarded.

[serpentinessarecute]

Ya everyone is entiltled to their opinion but you cant change fact

[Opethvince]

Did i try to? Weird, it's like you've not even read what i wrote stating the fact i just did.

[Panserbjorn]

He was just agreeing with you.

[Opethvince]

Indeed, my bad. =) Probably late at night, reading and weeping.

//Vince

[Tyberious123]

i like dream theater and all, but their lead singer kinda sounds like a fucking pussy. the music is good and mike portnoy fucking kicks ass, i just dont like their singer though. i like opeth much more personally. akerfeldt's got singing down and fucking harsh growls hes amazing

[peppasgeorge]

haha this is very funny...Opeth ftw :)

[cjbrown7745]

dream theater and opeth both play progressive music. so in a way they are alike. both are 2 of my fav bands ever!

[theartofshred]

stop comparing opeth to dream theater

fuck

opeth owns

[InfamousDominion]

I guess the The Drapery Fell. hehe

[etheravia]

LMAO

[ballystix]

damnit i was going to post this, they did play that at the end though

[monikikiusa]

I was there and I couldn't believe my eyes! Then I remembered I was in Miami... and of course! It made perfect sense! Where else could that possibly happen?!

That was what I describe as a perfect Spinal Tap moment...!!!

Then, when DT was playing.. right on Petrucci's solo... guess what? YEP! No sound... Thank God Portnoy save the moment with an amazing drum solo... and they fixed pretty quick. But, pleeeeasee.. don't play at the Fillmore EVER AGAIN!!!

[Andie1928]

I agree, play somewhere else in Miami next time, or even Ft.Laud. It took the guys at the Fillmore 20 min. to get that curtain back up, I know I timed it.

Plus, the security was total dicks!!

[R3nkse]

Fuck Dream Theater goddamn

[SoundgardenReunion]

If any of the members of Dream Theater had half the musical intelligence that Akerfeldt has, their heads would EXPLODE!!!!

[tomacoexperiment]

that makes sense, only if your alias is Dream Theater

[axlkurt]

the draperyy fallsss ahahhaha

[jonesy97]

Freakin' hilarious!! I heard that was in Miami. I'm orginally from there, so I'm wondering what venue that was? You know?

[oscar7557]

jackie gleason theater. i was going to go then my parents had a change of heart :( grr and im turning 18 on sunday.. tear*

[loincloth200]

bah, I knew someone would beat me to it...but hell, I'll give it a shot.

the drapery fell...

[slvationarmysldr]

That's what I was thinking.

[carlmanu]

Miami's professionalism at its best! xD!

[Justin1141]

wow the lady in this video is havin a little too much fun there.

[ozzzd]

i was there haha i was the only one standing up on the first row

[metalupyourass666]

That night was funny as fuck it was pretty funny how he ran into it after the song I wish it was filmed lol. Great fucking night!!!

[LilleGrisen]

THE DRAPERY FAILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Oppp2]

drapery FALLS!

[0URS]

I thought it was part of the show then i was like wait...it's not lol funny shit

[osketh]

Can someone please explain 'chorderoy' ?

[Jeydehn]

Corduroy, look it up.

[Nekron19]

It's a type of fabric, mostly used for pants

[SinNanna]

Hahahahaha. =)I was there!

A night of technical difficulties, the curatain, Petrucci's guitar!

"Instead of taking my COCK out we'll just play another song."

It was a great show. I can't believe they closed their set the The Drapery Falls.

[dc3user]

Does anyone want 2 tickets to the Progressive nation show in Tampa/Clearwater tonight?

[NeloWolf]

The Miami show was bad ass, the technical difficulties sucked though...

Too bad you didn't get the comment where he says "doesn't matter what we do now - everybody's going to fucking remember the curtain falling"

lol

[A1JE]

And when he said something about him taking his cock out. Lawl. It owned yesterday.

[darkbarrage99]

damn! looks like the drapery, "fell"

lol, couldn't resist xD

[Nekron19]

oh my god, I can't believe Mikael didn't say that, that would have been hilarious!

[MetalMusician76]

haha no kidding

that was definitely the first thing that came to my mind :D

[AsprosDark]

Who cares about drummers and keyboarders anyway ??? instant classic #2

[Starshineee]

Holy fuck man. They're fuckin' amazing man. I can't believe I missed it!

[TheaterofDreams1]

yeah, I was there, too. Talk about ruining the whole mood for Opeth.  That wasn't the only technical difficulty with the Miami show. PEtrucci's guitar stopped working during the constant motion solo. He had to go backstage while the rest of the band kept playing without guitar. Portnoy improvised on drums for more than a minute to keep things going until petrucci returned. all in all, the handled it amazingly the and the show went on great from there. Two of my friends did not notice it.

[A1JE]

I wanted to CRY when Petrucci's wireless tarded out.

[bobbygow]

HAHA!!! i was there last night that was funny as hell, but it took like half an hour to get that shit back up

[tury836]

"who needs drummers and keyboardists anyway?" LMFAO

[Emanny237]

nemo625 they got it back but it took 20 mins to do so they had to get out of the stage. It was an awesome show Opeth was fantastic they play: "Demond of the Fall" "The Baying of the Hounds" "Wreath"  "To Rid the Disease" "Heir Apparent" "The Drapery Falls"

Dream Theater was really good I enjoy their show even though I'm not their biggest fan. The first band Three was very inpressive.

[LilleGrisen]

Demon of the fail?

[BrainRotMenacer]

I hope they played The Drapery Falls right after that.

[illmaster47]

after the show they said they would have died had it landed on any of them, apparently it's made of wood... too bad you didn't get when it actually fell though that was pretty funny, especially when they didn't notice for about a minute!

[TheForgotton]

It was funny except for the twenty minute intermission to get it back up. Great show.

[nemo625]

haha did they ever get it back up?

[drrojas]

yep after 20 minutes

[Sydanyo]

Yes they did, but after taking the band off the stage for 20 mins.

[daimonionen]

"Is that chorderoy?" Instant classic!

[secretgaylifeofmike]

I DID IT WITH THE POWER OF MY MIND!!!!!

[antcraft]

haha
