to be a member of opeth, u have to be called martinXD

[BmArthas]

Sure that he is a good drumer... he makes music with OPETH!!!

[hashimali72]

Axe is by far better than Martin Lopez.

[Morstonaqu]

Does anyone know which sabian cymbals Martin uses?

[DreadedLeopard]

This drummers thing is getting really over the top. I can't choose between either of them.

@JimKnopf15 By the way, I know you are probably one of these dime a dozen, metalhead, everything has to be played a million miles per hour type of guys. But unlike most people I dont find speed impressing. Its a robotic, mechanical exercise that can be done and learned by anyone. Shredders are a dime a dozen. Real guitarists have soul and can write good music. Mikael is that man. Fredrick is nothing more than a guitar player who is a good guitarist, but that is all he is. He no musical genius.

@JimKnopf15 Fredrick better than Mikael? NOT AT ALL! Mikaels a musical genius. Fred can shred, abd us good, but he is far from flawless. I seen him butcher Opeth songs several times when I seen them live last year. Everyone was talking about how much this guy screwed up and, how much they missed Peter. Sorry but, I dont care how fast some guy can play the guitar, or how technical he is. I would rather hear one spine chilling note on the guitar than some shredding solo with zero emotion.

@gmt87801 Speed metal? I think you've got the wrong band. No doubt Lopez was good. Great in fact. But Axe is unreal, and remember he's only had one album to prove himself so far. You can pick and choose between 6 albums with Lopez for his best.

[gmt87801]

Axe is a good speed metal drummer. He is creative and has great double bass speed.

Lopez was a more jazzy and created more with dynamics and groove than with speed. But if he wanted to he could throw down some fierce foot work (Deliverance). I think overall I like Lopez for Opeth, but Axe isn't a bad replacement.

[JimKnopf15]

@SephynnXx Never read so much crap in one post. Frederik outplays BOTH Mikael and Peter, his technique is flawless and he plays with so much feeling. Proof? watch?v=l6hoEDh7i4M

Åkerfeldt has said that every lineup change Opeth ever went through was for the better, and you know what, as long as he's still there it's probably true.

[zubiac]

to be honest: I think Lopez would have a very hard time to play Axenrot's Watershed stuff.
