Peter Lindgren come back plz

[Blackfield]

honestly,do you want Peter come back?i try to find out the reason y i dislike watershed despite the fact that it has good songs.i think Peter was much more than a single guitarist he was part of the "soul" of opeth.

ps : plz Peter come back

 

[Vega Skater]

Disagree, I loved Peter, but go Fred!

 

[Twelveby5]

Hmmm... now they can't fire Fredrik.. so it could be like Maiden... :Smug:

 

[Vivören]

Why stop there? Let's bring back ALL former members!

Three drummers!

shit thread. check the interviews about his leaving

 

[HemeHaci]

Not only shitty but pointless either, I mean we all know that wont happen.

But please be reasonable, we all know that Mikael is what makes Opeth Opeth! I mean he writes nearly all the stuff, Peter was merely a plug-in guitarist to play the rhythms and the lead parts where Mikael can not both sing and play (refer to Shepherd Empire DVD). Now considering that Fredrick is a much better guitarist technically than Peter (Mikael said this in a interview, that Fredrick is better than them both), I dont see any reason for him to come back. Overall, Fredrick's contribution is more to the band than Peter and as long as Mikael is there even I can go and play and there wont be much of a difference

Though if you have a personal sympathy for Peter than too bad for you..

As stated above, I think Peter has made it clear that he's finished with the music business for now. Even if he was available, I would disagree with him coming back. To me, the band sounds fresher and tighter than it ever has. I am really looking forward to seeing what they do next with this line-up to be honest, if "watershed" can be perhaps seen as a transitional record, then I think the next one could be a complete killer. Just a hunch.

I understand what you're saying, but I just think that Fred and Axe (and Per!) are helping to create a whole new "opeth spirit" which I think ensures that the band should be around for a few more years hopefully!.

As soon as Peter felt that he couldn't give Opeth 100%..then the end was obvious.

 

[Crepuscularia]

I don't think Watershed would have been as effective with Peter's style. At first, I found Fred's soloing to be a bit jarring, but now I think he's the perfect contrast to Mike's soloing style. He's an integral part of the yin/yang of the album IMHO.

Er, you know there's a major difference between can't and won't, right? And Gers has been responsible for co-writing some of the best tracks and melodies off the last 6 albums.

I haven't heard Fredrik live yet, so I can't really comment. If WS is anything to go by though, I see no reason why anyone would want him gone.

First off, Somesay peter is a plug in guitarist and seem to almost bash his playing although the same people here were singing his praises when he was still in the band, a little hypocritcal from some posters. Fred is imo a shredder by nature and has a hell of a way to go before arriving at an 'independant' player with his own style. The main song he contributed on was porcelain heart and lets face it, its shit.
All this talk about peter returning is not going to happen (unfortunatly), as with Lopez (againg unfortunate) but atleast there is GR backwards with these guys playing and as far as future releases are concerned i hope for more but after Watershed i am hoping for better thing (i dont even know what i mean exactly) i didnt really like the album in general apert from a couple of tracks, so there you have it my opinion afew will agree but im sure most here will be smokin freds pork lance with defence for him.

I'm sure Fred will be relieved that I don't intend to smoke his pork lance, and I do agree that his basic style is more of a shreddy type. I mean, his last job was Arch Enemy!! However, Watershed is his first album with Opeth and I'm inclined to wait and see how he develops. I think on "burden" you can already hear the more bluesy side of his playing and I hope to hear more of that. There are/were people on this forum who actually thought that Axe was a shit drummer as they were so wrapped up in their love for Lopez, who was incredible, no question. But, imo, Axe has shown himself to be a worthy replacement. Again, lets see how he develops. I don't think Lopez's first efforts with Opeth gave any hint about what a fantastic drummer he would became for them.

 

[Mr Samsara]

(i dont even know what i mean exactly).

About all I agree with in your post.

IMO: Now that some time has passed and the we've put some distance between us and the turbulant times of transition (adding Per, replacing Lopez, then Peter) I truly feel that the band is better now than we could have possibly imagined. People hate change and wish to cling to old feelings and experiences that made them feel good. That only guarantees dissapointment, as things always change and nothing can be made to last. NOTHING. Fortunately, the changes experienced in the band have injected new life, talent, ideas, energy, dedication, and stability. Mike is a smart man, and after having spent some time with each of these guys, watching them find their place in the band both as a family and as players, I couldn't be happier with the his choices regarding new members or the bands direction. The show in LA at the Wiltern was the most energetic, steady and tight performance I've seen from the band... and I've seen them several times over the years. Fred's style and creativity will be felt deeply over the course of records to come btw, and all of the members continue to develop their skills individually and as a group.

Peter's out. Lopez is out. As much as I love those guys and what they brought to the band in it's earlier phases, I cannot wait to see what the future will bring. Sorry guys, but there's really not much to complain about in regards to Opeth right now. Change is inevitable... thank God some changes are for the better.




Oh, and FFS stop posting things like, "All Opeth fans agree...." or "We all know...", ok? For example, not all of us think PH sucks.

 

[Savern]

I loved Peter's style (I also love Mike's, as a player it was incredable that Opeth had 2 such distinct styles within one band, very unusual) That said, I also appreciate the technical ability that Fred has. I love his soloes on Watershed, Heir Apparent being my fav. While he certainly plays faster he still has fantastic feeling and emotion with some of the vibrato on the bends.

As Vhou said, Watershed was his first album, and I can't wait to see what happens when Axe and Fred are more integrated within the band. I mean, MAYH was the first album with Lopez/mendez and the one after that was Still Life. Hardly something not to look forward too.

peter was great, many of us loved him, but he's gone and we move on.

I do not recall singing praises over Peter anytime.. And he is a plug-in guitarist for all I care.

Fredrick did not write the whole song, just contributed to him and most probably to a content where Mr Åkerfeldt let him or saw fit. The overall responsible for the song, were it a failure which I do not think so, would be Mr Åkerfeldt himself.

I wonder how would you prove Fredrick in a dependant guitarist. Every guitarist use existing techniques to a great extent.

No, Peter was never the "soul" of Opeth. Go away OP.
