Threads like this make me feel like Opeth is a metal-symphony orchestra which Mike being the main composer and other guys are just playing what he says..cmon Opeth is not a band like that, Mike is a big part in Opeth's music ( he is main songwriter anyway ! ) but bashing other guys won't help.Peter maybe didn't contribute in composing as much as Mike but that doesn't make him a bad guitarist.And I don't remember people pointing out to this fact before he left so..........
Peter Lindgren come back plz

Peter had kind of a cool, aloof presence about him. However I don't think much has changed as far as Opeth being a vehicle for Mike's musical genius, and I'd take the energy of the current lineup over aloofness any day.

I think that fredrik will fit in better for the next album. I wasn't sure about the keyboardists contributions until watershed where they just seemed to 'work' better.
peter wrote nothing since still life other than the solos. he was more or less a session player from '99 and on. he was an amazing guitar player, don't get me wrong. but this line-up is probably the tightest line-up that opeth has ever had.

I agree with HemeHaci %100. Peter, from MAYH and on didn't contribute to a single song (except the solos and some riff in Dirge for November). His solos were good, but we all know Fredrik is a much better player than both Mike and Peter.
I loved Peter because of his cool character but I don't care about that when I'm listening to Opeth. Martin Lopez contributed to Opeth much more than Lindgren did, and as a matter of fact Opeth is equal to Mikael Akerfeldt much the same way Annihilator is equal to Jeff Waters. Fredrik or Lindgren can't change anything about Opeth.

As much as I agree with what's been said about Peter needing to leave, especially so long after 'losing' it, you can't discredit his contribution to everything up to MAYH if that;s when his creativity did indeed die. His influence on the music he helped put out was great stuff but it's time to move on. Have some faith and stop crying.
