Mr. Bland
Hey look, its MR BLAND!
Wow... I haven't been on the forum that much and just decided to log on (last night actually, I didn't feel like posting) and this really takes me by complete surprise. Peter was the last person I would think of leaving Opeth. He has been there for so long and now he is gone.
I completely understand Peter's decision to leave, seeing as I wouldn't be able to cope with 18 months of touring. It is also a great thing that he got out early before it started to take away from Opeth. Man, this is just horrible news.
I hope that the new guitarist does some justice and doesn't screw with Opeth's sound too much. He has one hell of a spot to fill, and I hope he can do it. Much luck to him on that one!
As much as I would hate to say it, I think this might make Opeth go downhill a little. I can see Mendez leaving too, but this is probably since I am looking at everything with a different, slightly altered view. Who knows?
Good luck Peter, we all will miss you. You have made a great ever-lasting effect on Opeth's sound and were one great, down to earth man. Hope everything goes good with you and the wife. Take some time off, you deserve it.
Good luck Fredrik and welcome!
