Is it that dude who recruited all of those people into his cult and then they all committed suicide when the Hale-Bopp comet came? I'm just curious. Yes, that's their "suicide" audio just before they killed themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I listened to it once and my hubby took it and I haven't seen it since . My question for those of you who have other PT material such as Deadwing, where did you get the CD? I am unable to find anything other than FoaBP in Colorado.

Yes, that's their "suicide" audio just before they killed themselves. I looked on the PT website, and there it was. This very question and its answer. Thanks for posting an answer, though. I love that song. I can't figure out if they mean that part to be tounge in cheek, or what. But, it kinda cracks me up. Is that bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, sounds like if they even do come back in 2010 (which depends on the sales of these shows) it'll most likely be only for the major markets again, so no smaller shows like Nashville, Asheville and such like 2007. It seems that promoters are wanting hard proof of bands being able to sell tickets before booking a bigger tour nowadays. Good thing my girlfriend just agreed to fly to NYC with me for (hopefully) both NYC shows and Philly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naturalsciences101 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 nobody's hero brings up a good point, which leads me to a similiar question. Can ya'll remember which PT title you first noticed being sold as a 'new release' at your local CD store, or one of the major chain stores? On Long Island and NYC, the first PT album I began noticing out on the floor, ready for purchase, was 'In Absentia' in 2002. Around the same time, they began giving attention to Opeth, and their 'Deliverance' outing was available in small numbers. But, never, not any point, were multiple copies of any of the PT or Opeth albums available to the public. Although popularity of both bands has grown immensely over the past five or six years, I guess this hasn't really translated to increased album sales much. The PT an Opeth section of any CD store usualy has only a few discs. Who remembers when they began seeing titles from Progressive Rock artists in general in their local CD store? Maybe there's a parallel universe somewhere out there where the Prog Rock groups have tremendous sales displays in these CD stores, and it's the cheezy Pop groups who are the ones with a tiny section with only one or two discs available.
