Axernot up to par for new Opeth album?

[Heliotropic_Rose]

I think he's a great fucking drummer and well equipped replacement for Opeth's live songs. What Axernot did for "NightMares Made Flesh" was the fucking shit, but do you think he's really up to par and equipped enough to take the drumming on the next Opeth ablum, not necessarily to "the next level" but at least equal to Lopez's skill?

yes, for the hundreth time. I think he'll be great.

Frankly, I think he needs to practice more

 

[Tumn]

He's in the band for a reason.

SHIT THREAD

[BurningSky]

Please post this stuff in the other 100 threads shitting on Axe.

 

[makethestringscry]

Im sure he can do it, but it wont have the same feel.

 

[Gordon Freeman]

I don't think he would have been asked to join if he couldn't cut it.

Axe wouldn't be in the band if the guys in Opeth didn't think he could do it.

 

[hibernal_dream]

I don't think he would have been asked to join if he couldn't cut it.

So he's up to par because he wouldn't have been asked to join otherwise, therefore he's up to par? Circular reasoning much?

 

[MixGrafix]

I had the chance to talk with Axe in a bar in Fort Lauderdale before the gig at the Culture Room, and he is a very polite, well spoken and smart man. Considering the shoes he had to fill, I want to see what his take will be on the drumlines of the new record. I am sure that we will be seeing that within the next 12 months. I can't wait!

yes he's saying that. and it's fairly reasonable. can you imagine mike employing a drummer who couldnt hack it? i don't think so. he wouldn't have just reached for the first drummer available.

 

[sighofsummer]

I guess when the new album comes out its up to us to comment on whether he is up to par...Man! I bet he's gonna be awesome...cant fuckin wait...

 

[~random~]

Suffice to say that whatever happens, it'll be different. Some will like it, others won't. There's no comparison really.

You fucking dipshit. Don't try to be smart, you fuck it up.

I've to agree with biggsy and Mumblefood on this one, that was a fucking shit thing to say. What Gordon Freeman said was reasonable and logical, and I happen to agree with it.

In a word, yes. Would you hire someone for a job who you didn't think could perform up to the high standards you would expect from your 'employees'? Mikael seems pretty anal anyway when it comes to who he plays with, so I couldn't see him choosing a hack drummer.
