I´d thougth I´d share an old opeth moment as it is one of my greatest of all times
I have also scanned a pic from that moment so I´d thougth I share that too hehehe
(excuse my english by the way hehehe )
We were sent off to UK to have three gigs with Morbid Angel, one in Manchester and one in London, I can´t remember the other one, though the first in M.chester was cancelled.
When we came to england we stayed at Lee_B´s house actually hehehehe were we was introduced to english humor, it was a TV show with 2 guys and as we all had the same kind of humor in the band we ended up on the floor laughing until we almost coudnl´t breath, and I really mean that I was trying to get air and I know micke did as well hehehe
so next day we went off in a mini bus, the guys in M. Angel had ofcourse a real tour bus hehehehe
Then we came to the local for the gig and I remember I walk in and the first thing I see is a huge black shiny pearl drum kit with a forest of cymbals, like a dream set, and I almost faded away because I thought I was going to play on that, but no I wasn´t ofcourse hahahaha
we had our own drum kit infront of senhor Sandoval
To enter the stage we had to walk down a ladder so the changing room was above the stage, so we went down the ladder and Peter said to me, wait for my signal until you make the count in. I think the set list was Forest of october, advent and The Apostle In Triumph.
Then Peter suddenly turned around looking at me so I thougth, here we go and started making the count in on my Hi Hat, when I noticed that they wasn´t ready at all, Mike was still fixing his sound and so did Johan hahahaha
so they were diving on the pedals, the ones who makes the metal sound, I dont know what it´s called hahaha
anyway..when we was in the middle of the gig somthing told me to look up towards the dressing room...and there is he was, Pete Sandoval, one my heroe drummers because of his double kicks...doing thumbs-up to me!!
I didn´t really pay to much attention at the time because it was like unreal, so I just smiled back
Then after the gig we went to our mini bus and the M. Angel fellows to their tour bus, and I thougth that was it, just as Lee was about to drive away someone comes to our mini bus knocking at the door in the back saying "Hey, I just have to say goodbye to your drummer!" and gaving me his hand to shake, I didn´t first saw who it was but then I saw it was senhor Sandoval!!!. As a reaction I just asked him if we could take a pic hahaha
and that´s about it, I´ll never ever forget that...
I have attahced that pic here....but please dont use it else where as it´s my private pic
