Mendez and Lopez can play all the stuff yes I agree.
But I still like Anders and Defarfella, NO MATTER whether they are inferior musicians or not. To me, not liking them because they aren't as technically proficient is irrelevant, as they have s.t.y.l.e!
Werd! Irregardless of how they compare to the current rhythm section there is plenty about those two to appreciate.

Oooh, didn't realize this had turned into an ownage thread. GG Niel, you win. Don't use the AWP next time you aimbotting fucker.
In a nutshell, I don't really know how we can compare abilities at all when its Mike that writes most of the stuff. He has pretty much written the bass for every album, and even played some of it at times. I doubt we've ever seen the limits of Johan or Mendez' abilities hit, and same deal with Nordin and Lopez. Although one given here is that Nordin's fills are extremely generic and that somewhat reflects on his credibility. On the other hand, Lopez is the rhythm-master. His drumming keeps even the simplest of riffs interesting. He's a cool dude and does what he does well.

Compared to Mendez,Johan is definitely better.What I hear from Mendez is him just following the guitar riffs.Johan,on the other hand, was brilliant on Orchid and Morningrise and produced very catchy and out of the box riffs.
Hi to everyone!
Hi to everyone!
Personally I enjoy the bass on "Orchid" and "Morningrise" more then I would on "Deliverence" but Mendez and DeFarfalla are two totally different players and I think the only way to judge who's better then who is to hear them play in bands outside of Opeth.
So back to my original question.... What happened to DeFarfalla and Isberg? (By that I mean where are they now?)

i bet seeing somebody actually listen to someone else's opinion and then perhaps change their opinion is about as rare as a unicorn shitting liquid hot magma.

I do occassionally. However, that won't happen on this board sicne it's filled with stupidity
mot: Yes, Pain of Salvation rule. BE > Orchid, Morningrise, Deliverance, Damnation and a lot of other Opeth tracks

I don't think you understand. Mikael wrote all of that material - it has no bearing whatsoever on the bass players.dereliction said:

Look guys, Anders was a very basic drummer and had a basic feel. I think his drumwork could have been replaced to liven things up, and well, it was. Johan's bass skills were no less than excellent, but Mendez is just that much better. If you go to an Opeth concert and see Mendez play live, you'll see why.
Ummm, yeah, how would I see why exactly? Does he solo when plays live? Does he improvise or something? Cuz it's not like his lines are impossible, as has been said before he mostly follows the guitars. And if you honestly think that Johan was "no less than excellent" I beg you at least to listen to Steve DiGiorgio, who is a metal bassist. Forget about the jazz bassists like Wooten and Miller and Jaco and such who make Johan's technique look like a 2 year old banging his head on a piano, because if you think Johan was excellent I doubt you've listen to much other than metal. And not too much of that either.
