Additional Musicians on Blackwater Park

[Radikal_Dreamer]

Okay, this's probably a really REALLY stupid question, but I wouldn't know (haven't been here very long). This is really bugging me. On the back of the booklet for BWP under 'Additional Musicians' it says "Markus Lindberg - 3 eggs"..........Now, what in the name of hell does that mean? It's really bugging me how someone can play "3 eggs"....Sorry ahead of time if this's a dumb question.

OMG you dont know??????????????????????????????

HAHAHA,

(this will be the typical opeth fan boy response

i dont know ethier

I believe eggs refers to a shaker type percussion instrument. I don't know where on the album there's any shaker sounding stuff.

Oh, I get to do the elite fan response. They're on bleak, in that quiet break a couple minutes in. They're like maracas, or something. The guy "playing" them is just some random guy who was there.

Now I feel enlightened.

"dude...I played the eggs on an Opeth album!"

- that is probably that guy's #1 comeback... it would be mine if I had done it. ha

I seem to remember reading in an interview with Mikael that the 3 eggs thing was about somebody that cooked three eggs everyday for their breakfast. Im not sure about that but whatever.
