I have given this subject a lot of thought after seeing the Lamentations DVD.

M. Lopez's singing voice is probably really high pitched and sounds more like 14 year old Ricky Martin than a grown man. He can hit all the notes, but every time he opens his mouth in the tour bus and sings along some song, all the other guys have hard time to not laugh straight to his face. He actually is proud of his voice, but he doesn't realize it isn't that good. In fact, it's crap.

The other Martin's singing voice is really monotonous, dull and druggy. He likes to sing and play his 12 string acoustic in the privacy of his own home, and has actually composed enough songs to fill few medium length albums. His music is basic singer/songwriter stuff.

Peter is Opeth's choir boy. His voice is easily the best one from the band, but Michael the Dictator doesn't let Peter get into the spotlight.

Conclusion: Mikael Åkerfeldt is an evil man who beats up old people and laughs at cripples.


What do you guys think?
 
Mikael did say in some interview that Peter sang some backgrounds and was off-time all the time but the crowd didn't seem to give a shit. :)
 
What I think is your deliberately starting these negative threads to try and cause trouble.
Is there anything you actually like about Opeth ?

Either way, I don't know what more annoying about you, your piss poor immature posts, or you gay signature.

But I supposed thats what your intentions are here, to annoy and agitate.
 
Yeah I frankly think that you're just being a spoilsport now gaz. If you hate the threads so much,either post in order to make them better or leave them be. Hell,this one wasn't even that bad,and it presented a pretty interesting question in my opinion. It's just that ggggggu's way of bringing out the question never pleases most of the people.
 
well since you know so much, and you are always right (meaning everyone else is a fucking idiot)...i just figure that you are the most amazing person in the entire world.
 
This reminds me of a discussion on the DT boards. When Portnoy had to take over "Silent Man" for Labrie.

It would be funny if Lopez had a high-pitched voice. It would allow Opeth to do Priest covers...
