...swapped instruments!
This would be a splendid idea for the next writing/rehearsing/recording sessions to avoid making a Ghost Reveries part II and have some new creativity brewing
Mikael Åkerfeldt Since hes already familiar with the bass from the recording of the My Arms, Your Hearse album, this would be the perfect spot for Mr. Åkerfeldt. And since he would no longer have to front Opeth, he could cuddle with his daughter and cats in between songs when playing live.
Peter Lindgren Keyboards. He would be the one to fill Pers shoes. Peter (almost) started taking singing lessons prior to the Damnation tour to be able to do backing vocals. Hell just have to resume singing and constantly eat Filét Black and White to get himself acquainted with the keys. Pure magic.
Martin Mendez Will take over the vocals/guitar role and front the band. He will also from now on be the main songwriter. Im very much looking forward to hearing Mr. Mendez music aswell as reading what hes capable of lyric-wise. Also, seeing him playing guitar and headbanging sideways WHILE singing live would be a treat. He would also take every chance to make fun of Mike in front of a live audience.
Per Wiberg Drums. He would change drumming as we know it by playing them like a piano, tapping the drums with his fingers and literally kicking the bassdrums toes first while headbanging and moving the way hes always done behind his keys. Hair and parts of his drumset guaranteed to come flying over frontrow-bangers watching Opeth perform.
Lopez/Axenrot Lopez is back but Axenrot refuses to leave. The pair now fights on stage and in studio over guitar duties Mendez, the respectful and understanding bandleader that he is, gives who ever loses the everyday fight a mask (Slipknot-style) and small drumset to back up the band with some percussion. Live it would be a truly enjoyable sight seeing the pair fight over the guitar and run from side to side on the stage playing percussion wearing a silly mask, desperately trying to add some questionable depth to Opeths music.
Well now that Im done, tell me your suggestions of new Opeth constellations or flame the fuck away!
Cheers!
