I realized I'm actually kind of glad about this. I still don't like Ghost Reveries as a whole, so maybe the new guitarist will bring some fresh ideas to the band and I will like the new album a lot more.
oh, the arpeggios are gone
The most disappointing part of this to me is that Mike is losing such a close friend being in the band with him. Peter's guitar playing is something I grew to like, but it is no longer very important for the survival of the band. Mikael is Opeth, so as long as he is there the band will be strong.
any bets considering Mendez' departure anyone?
I'm definitely drinking to Peter tonight. This is an awful day...oh god..... i think i'm gonna get wasted tonight to get outta sadness
good luck Peter!!! WE LOVE YOU!!
huh? they had a stable lineup for almost their whole discography, from MAYH to Ghost Reveries. they aren't a band who has ever had to deal with lineup changes as some sort of recurring problem, hence why Lopez's and now Peter's departures are such big deals. they're 2 people that were there in the main development and vision of what became post-Morningrise Opeth. 2 very distinguished members and personalities. it's weird to imagine going to an Opeth show and not seeing Peter on stage.Jeez man i luv opeth but why cant they keep a stable lineup for a few years??
