A mandate for playing in Opeths rhythm section is your first name --MUST-- be Martin.....You also have to be impossibly talented but the name thing is essential.

If Anyone here has heard the greatness of Bloodbath, they would not be worrited about Martin Lopezs absense. He is an amazing drummer

f*** yeah! Bloodbath is awesome. Axenrot will be a truly suitable replacement until Lopez is back and ready again. Man I wish they could tour the U.S. again. And again. And again.

heh. indeed.

I've been blasting Ghost Reveries these last 2 days.....I've come to the conclusion that Opeth couldnt make a bad album if they tried.....

Generally I have a favorite album from every band I like but not Opeth......I love em all, it's pathetic how much of a slobbering fan boy I am but theres not one thing I would change about this band.
