Axe is great live. The only time I saw Lopez was the first time I saw them on the sounds of the underground tour, so I really can't judge his live playing except for Lamentations. I love the atmosphere that Lopez brought, but I love the sheer brutality that Axe brings to Opeth. The fast part of Heir Apparent live in Detroit was so perfect and so heavy it sounded like it came from the very depths of Hades.....
 
How is it pronounced? lol

VERY clumsily explained:

"Ø" is pronounced like the "o" in "word". (almost, tongue is a little closer to the teeth),

"RS" is pronounced like in "ship",

"O" like in "move",

and the "L" like in "leave".

All this considering you speak American.

Back to the topic though? :p

Wow, I 100% agree on that. Damnation was an album made for lopez drumming. But you can see the real power of axenrot is his playing on powerful songs such as Heir Apparent and Demon of the Fall on the Roundhouse Tapes. Let's not forget that Lopez drumming became impressive on Deliverance/Damnation and Ghost Reveries. MAYH, SL, Blackwater Park drumming was nothing special at all.
 
Do you even play drum?

and no I won't get out because ''Illidan'' says so.

A lot of drum parts in those albums were repetitive and Lopez was at his peak on Ghost Reveries and if you can't hear that it is because you're fucking deaf.
 
You don't even have an opininion or something constructive to say, it is because of stupid members like you that the forum have become shitty. Can you try to say something intelligent or revelant or is it too hard for you.

No, it's because of members who ask the same regurgitated questions 55 times in a month. It's also because it's that time of year again where a new album gets more noobs, like yourself, to join the forum and act like their shit don't stink and that the questions they're asking haven't been asked before. This is because they're too lazy to use the search function, which is there for a reason.

IS GR CONCPT ALBM!?!?!?!
WHOS BETR MARTON OR AXE!?!?!?!
WHERD PETE GO?!



in conclusion:
shit thread. again.

I haven't even started a thread yet sytupid asshole. I've been a fan of Opeth for 5 years now so no I'm not a ''new'' fan. ''Shit thread'', again another stupid commentary by a e-though guy who thinks because he was here in 2005 he is the ultimate Opeth fan , haha pathetic.
 
Would you like a medal? I've been a fan of Opeth since 2001. Does that make me better than you? By the way, I don't exclusively post on this forum. In fact, I don't think the Opeth forum was even the original reason why I signed up to UM. You lose.

I lose what, a e-fight? HO NOES! I couldn't care less of your joining date, this argument is so retarded...

You're just another spammer with your useless comment on every thread ''shit thread''.. what a great contribution to this great forum. ''Would you like a medal?'' ahahahaha how old are you exactly, this is getting funny.
