I really dont know. Define bigger first. more fans? sure, why not? bigger as in more mainstream? I hope not if that means that getting rid of that brutal grunt and "7 minutes or more" songs. But for them I would like to see more fans: bigger venues and gigs. I truly love their music and I would like to share that with many more people without having the band to lose their magic.
did I make any sense?
I think they have reached their popularity level...but if Akerfeldt,Wilson,Portonoy trio happens it will be HUGE...maybe im just dreaming.
As far as Mendez, ive asked this ques. before and never got an answer. Heard rumors that he was on heroin and it wasnt anxiety etc...any truth to that??
If Opeth stays around for 20+years and keeps popping out high quality albums, they will become monsterously gigantic in the underground and dominate like Black Sabbath.
Opeth will always be a death metal band at heart....and therefore will not be "popular"
Well you're about the 10th person who heard that Lopez is a heroin addict and I believe it...but as far as Mikael and Peter being cokeheads? Not believing that one. If you remember Mikael on the GR dvd he admits to smokin reefer and drinking every now and then and thats all, and drugs are offered to even them all the time.I guess you mean Lopez. well, I've wondered and am still a little skeptical considering the story i've been told... but this guy I kinda know who's in the business said Lopez is a hardcore heroin addict, couldn't handle it anymore. and that Mike and Peter are cokeheads. so given that, I don't know.![]()

Settle down and dig the thong out of your asscrack...And now everyone who reads your post will also be someone who has "heard that Lopez is a heroin addict". Does that make the statement more true? Obviously not. I'd prefer everyone STFU about rumors and Innuendo concerning such a sensitive and potentially damning subject unless you are speaking from first-hand experience as your evidence for making such statements.

I am saying I believe it. period. People have minds of their own. What, you think there's bunch of easily influenced 13 yr. old's on this thread? I think not.
By your avatar pic...it looks like you are getting something drilled in your ass. But, back to the original topic.
