From Strapping Young Lad forum:
The message also says that SYL wasn't performing that night, and Gene was the only member of the band who actually was there.
So does anyone know what the hell is going on? Please somebody tell me this is just a bad joke!
Lopez just can't leave.
...And I'm NOT trolling or trying to create a forum war or something - the only reason I posted this here, is that I really don't know much about behind-the-scenes Opeth, and I want to know what's going on, is this just some kind of misunderstanding.
At the concert in Odessa, Texas on July 18th Gene sat behind the kit during the Opeth set because one of the dudes from Opeth got on the mic saying that their drummer had quit. Gene played those songs like he had been playing them for abit already, not like that was his first night or anything. He made those Opeth songs sound so bad ass its not funny. Im wondering though when did Opeth's drummer leave the band? Surely he didnt just up and leave on the band the very night of the gig in Odessa...
