that's why someone created music theory...
Music theory does not explain sound. You can't really use music theory to describe the sound of a snare drum now can you?

Therefore, I'll allow the footage to speak for itself...
And Lopez wasn't all that amazing on his Opeth debut, MAYH. He was just a good drummer on a good album (unlike Nordin, who was a meh drummer on good albums). Lopez started really coming into his own on Blackwater Park, and became the perfect Opeth drummer on Deliverence and Ghost Reveries (Damnation was good, too, but... not really an Opeth album IMO).
I just hope Axe has that same ability to adapt the way Lopez did over his tenure with the band. Most drummers can't when they're at the level Axe is at and have an established style, but we'll see.
All you people constantly ragging on Watershed are making me worried. I hope the band doesn't revert back to their old direction because of you guys. Their old stuff was great, but they've already been there. If you don't like the new direction so much, maybe it's time to leave Opeth behind? Because Watershed is brilliant, but it's just not for you guys.
My God did you see the Megadeth's "That One Night"? I completely agree, South America has the best live energy ever.

That wouldn't explain how the huge crowd in that Megadeth DVD knew pretty much all the lyrics to all the songs, and were singing along with Dave the whole show.
Seriously, they're just huge in Argentina.
^ Seriously, doesn't prefacing a sentence with seriously automatically make said sentence serious?
2. Still Life is WAYYY overrated. Boring. White Cluster and Face of Melinda are the only reasons I spin it.
still life is super overrated, especially godhead's lament, which is nothing special for Opeth
