Good to see Martin Lopez getting some credit.
He was the main reason why I started liking Opeth. I wasn't into the growls at that time but his double bass beats on Deliverence were the most impressive things I ever heard at the time. Little did I know then that was just the scratch on the surface of his amazing abilities.
On a side note.
Saw Opeth last week in Edmonton, and I gotta say that Axe did an amazing job playing a lot of the older tunes. I was really impressed.
I really hope Axe sticks around and can leave his mark on this great band, like his predecessor left a mark on not only the band but all of our hearts as well.
