zakk wylde child laiho said:mikael doesnt really have a great voice, and his guitar playing is adequate at best. if he only showed more emotion in his vocals, and played some more complex songs, opeth would be a lot better imo.
Any body heard anything about making Per Wiberg part of Opeth? I liked his backing vocals much on the Lamentations DVD. He complemented Mikael perfectly. Too bad he's into playing old style blues rock in his other bands. Maybe the tour with Opeth will convert him.
Per Wiberg's hair fucking rules!
well, both per and fredrik can sing obviously, and perhaps mendez did some black metal vocals in one of his old bands? dunno about axe, maybe does some singing with nathalie?
Yeah, I was totally surprised by Fredrik's singing on 'The Lotus Eater' when I last saw them live. But he sure hit those notes well. The other groups I've seen/heard that he has played in, he has been a guitarist exclusively. I didn't know he had it in him.
Actually he sang background vocals in Talisman when they played live =)
