Shit. I've been checking this forum lately because I had a feeling it was coming sooner or later. Good luck Martin and hail Axenrot!! He can do the job!!

his unique skill of incessant double bass and drum mashing(thats alli hear from drums in nmf) lopez will be missed..Sanzen said:I just don't see Axe contributing the little subtleties that Lopez did. As someone pointed out earlier, Axe is a fairly straight-forward metal drummer. M-Lo brought his latin and funk influences and combined them with death metal...what unique style is Axe going to bring?
I'll miss Lopez, and I think they can do better than Axe. He's a good drummer...just not that different.

Powers said:Why is it that people think vocalists are irreplaceable?
Is it 'cause they're the voice of the band?
NineFeetUnderground said:i find it interesting that lindgren is so replacable to so many people, but lopez was so incredibly crucial to the band. Whos to say some other "metal" guitarist would pull off everything peter does in the same way? pretty presumptuous.
Okay got it, still sucks that he's leavingJazrodian said:
Jazrodian said:its not enough to bitch about Axe that now you're hassling Peter?!?!?!?!
you guys really need to get a life eh...
Id said:why don't you like peter as a musician? he doesn't really do anything aside from solos
Kerry King said:Amon Amarth improved immensely following the departure of Lopez. Lets hope Opeth have the same luck.
