Hey Anders, what was the story behind the top hat picture I posted earlier again? I'm sure Mikael or someone once addressed it but that must be ages ago now. I don't remember it.

From Mikael:
Haha, that pic was supposed to be on a compilation Cd. We supplied the photos (top hat ones) to Century Media or whoever was doing this tribute, but they chose our ordinary "Forest" pics instead of this one...I wonder why...haha!!
I love it! It was my fukkin idea to have the suits and shit...we wanted the pic to look "old", like 1920's or something.
 
Hey Anders, about The Night And The Silent Water, did you write the drum work yourself, because it is my favorite song for drumming. Not technical or anything, but it just has such a great feeling and provokes lots of emotion.

fine, don't listen to orchid/morningrise/mayh. worst comment ever. also don't listen to ANY OPETH now that lopez is gone.
They're gone. They're done with. My comment doesn't mean I don't want to listen to their old albums and savor their work. It just means I don't really care about the older memebers of Opeth, but I do respect their contributions. I like Mendez a lot better than the older guy, and I could give a shit less about him. As long as their newer members kick ass, I don't care.
 
I always find it nice to find out where ex-band members are and what they're doing. For all we know, they might have some side projects worth listening to or something. It's interesting to se how they've matured musically compared to the band.

is the 1st from right david isberg?
 
I didn't like Nordin's drumming at all, he was sloppy imo.. lopeth was the shit, i wish he didnt leave... Ax just doesnt do it for me, hes too slow live, you can see peter like holding notes wicked long because the tempos so slow, its awkward. Theres a live video of "when" on youtube thats like painful to watch, its like half speed
 
I think Orchid and Morningrise are there best albums so far. I love Nordin's drumming, and Johan's bass was crushing. I wish they would have been able to stay in the band.
 
Yeah I think Axenrot is a bit slow too. Or At least the metal town gig seemed way too slow. I can only compare it to live videos of Lopez, and not personal experience. But lets hope he gets better. :)

you mean the Kongo Bongo in the end?
well the main idea too have that kind of drums there was Mikaels, but I kind of invented those drums right there in the studio. we had rehearsed alot but for some reason it didnt came out the same as from rehearsals
