A Question For Mikael......

[Estimation]

Hey,

Just to clear up the confusion Id just like to ask you:

Is Per an official member of the band?

Any input would be most helpful!

cheers, and keep up the good work!

 

[Dreadful]

back in the Chainheart machine days, if Soilwork can call their keyboardist "permanent" then Per can be an official member of Opeth.

 

[opethmaniac]

yeah , i think we all can consider him as a permanent member now...

 

[Detric]

I dont think he is an official member, but just helped them out on the Damnation Tour. And thats it.

 

[suislidE]

apparently detric hasnt been keeping himself updated

 

[Estimation]

Im still undecided on whether or not a keyboard would fit into Opeths typical heavy riffs, but id love to hear what Per could do with the softer riffs (no more Mellotron though! Im all mellotron-ed out!), id say itd go quite nice with it, what do you all think?

You might be right.

Yea i hear you there, im not sure if i would be that cool with keyboards and the heavy riffs.. on the lamentations tour per did some of the leads, and i didnt agree with how it sounded. Of course he was playing guitar parts, but i just didnt like how the keyboards blended in. I suppose we will find out anyway

 

[atrocity]

he is not an official member.

 

[ChrisEmerson]

yes he is. it was in an interview somewhere that he was asked to join as a 5th member afaik.

 

[estimate]

Yes, steal my nick.

 

[ChrisEmerson]

lol

you've stolen my signature sort of...

 

[Estimation]

look under my name, that help estimate? anyways, imitation is the greatest form of flattery!

 

[Opeth\m/\m/]

Detric did you attend any of the "Lamentation Over America Tour" shows? I was in the one in atlanta and he was there, He has helped them on every tour scince damnation.

 

[Blackhorse_Experience]

anybody have this interview?

 

[estimate]

Haha, ok, you're forgiven

 

[Katatonic]

Yes, he is a PERmanent member

so funny

 

[JoeVice]

well, mikael did say that the new music that he is writing has keyboards. so, he will probably record those parts...and he will probably go on tour to play them live. combine those two, and it sounds like he is part of the band now. we really have to know though...i intend to attempt some album art, so i need to know if i need to draw him.

 

[Ermz]

Well it's not 'official' per say, yet it can be loosely taken for a fact that Per will indeed be permanently running around with our motley foursome.

 

[cityofthemoon666]

we will find out in the band booklet when per is in the photos, i think he did well on the aussie tour, at the last melbourne show hey moonlapse, that was killer
