What ever happened to Johan Defarfalla ?

[dereliction]

CAN U PLZ RPELACE MARTON LOPOZ??

 

[ToMnEt]

He has changed !

 

[soundave]

He looks a lot happier now to me.

And please, please, please do not email Johan. He was cordial enough to respond to this and I'd say that's enough for now. There is really no upside. Those unsolicited emails can and will become an annoyance very quickly and will only reflect poorly on the Opeth fan base and ultimately make the band look bad. I appreciate it....

Samsara, don´t you think all this info (also the stuff about David Isberg) should go in the faq?

 

[Opeth Leaves]

This has got to be the only time I've ever heard of someone leaving a band for religious politics. Nasty.

He did?

everyone knows all politians are evil....

Believe me, they aren't. Why does everone seem to think that, is it because of George Bush?

 

[dcat]

Interesting sirname "Defarfalla" does Johan know it's origins?

+1 To the poster who asked if Johan had any funny stories of his times with Opeth on tour, a question I thought about but didn't post.

 

[Mr Samsara]

Samsara, don´t you think all this info (also the stuff about David Isberg) should go in the faq?

Yes... and when we get it all done and together I'm sure I'll do an epic FAQ Update.

As I have understood it, they didn't tour except that tour in 96'.

Cool.

Some possible questions:

What was his favourite song that he contributed to in Opeth?
Which was his favourite bassline?
At what age did he start playing?
Did he or does he play any other instruments?

umm I cant think of anymore right now.

Just a thought for Mr. S, should the links to his site and how it was found be removed from this thread? Just to prevent some n00b coming along and spamming up his email...

 

[AnTz0r]

well i remember me and also others looking for info years ago, i guess now that he is a politician stuff has started to show up, even when you remove this they could still find it on google.

no answer as of yet by the way...

 

[AnTz0r]

i got a reply from johan this morning, right now my classmate is bitching i need to finish our essay so i will try to answer him tonight. which means you've got about 8 hours left to post your questions, so be quick!!!

 

[Opeth Leaves]

The ones fizz6207 said is really good.

 

[Korlich]

Questions:

Was he religous when he was in Opeth?

Does he ever wanna become a proffesional musician?

Names of bands/projects he´s been in.

 

[RiffBoy]

Q: What do think of Mendez' bass playing?

 

[Scarlett Letterman]

Q. you still getting royalty cheques?

 

[AFairJudgement0]

^^ lol

 

[fizz6207]

Just some other less music related ones:

What other art forms is he into? ie Movies, Books, etc.
What other hobbies or sports is he involved in?

And also I think it goes without saying he should get a big THANK YOU from the whole forum for his time and kindness to have us give him this little interview.

Actually I was thinking that questions would stay a bit more Opeth related ...
Simply keeping it to what his memories of that period are, and what he thinks of Opeth now (perhaps his answer to this last one might be shocking).
I don't really see the point about asking all sort of personal questions to a person that left the band 10 years ago ... the main reason that people wondered about him, is because of his involvement in Opeth and what has happened to him since.
