Didn't see that coming, just hope the new guitarist will be able to fill in the gap. But still, damn, Peter Lindgren was awsome. I'm kind of speechless

Pardon my language....

FU*K DAMNIT SON OF A BI**CH, I CANT BELIVE THIS SH*T IS HAPPENING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FIRST MARTIN NOW PETER!?!?!

Uhhh....i hate these moments in music, but if its for the best........
And anyway, Frederick Akesson is a great guitarist, he did a great job in opeth and i think he will do Opeth Justice.

Yeah, Fredrik is a great guitarist, but I don't know if his style fits into opeth. And yeah, it's like half the lineup has changed now in the last few years, but I guess it's good as long as Åkerfeldt has controll. Still, I was pissed when Martin Lopez left, but I think Martin Axenrot fits into opeth a lot more than I think Fredrik Åkesson does. Damn, Lindgren was so good.. I'm still in quite a shock I guess..

EDIT: And I can't wait for the new album, it's gonna be interesting (but not in a good way) to see how opeth will sound without lindgren:/

I think it will be All Opeth as long as Akerfeldt is in the band, Mikael and Frederick have played together and know each other well from what ive read on the site, so i think Frederick will be able to adapt to Opeths Style.

But I'm gonna miss Peters solos:/ But well, as long as I won't see any shred in opeth I'm happy I guess.

Posted by: The Uncreator May 17 2007, 07:07 PM

You'll probably never see Shred In Opeth, but they do have some pretty fast solo's. I don't think you got anything to worry about there.

Posted by: Fsgdjv May 17 2007, 07:28 PM

Yeah I know, I'm just the worrying kind:P

shocking, I did not see that comming at all.

Man first Lord Worm getting kicked out of Cryptopsy next Peter leaving Opeth, the heck is going here.

i think im going to cry myself to sleep now.. opeth is the greatest.. at least they are still together.. lets hope he can fill sum big shoes.

Posted by: Smikey2006 May 18 2007, 01:28 AM

oo.. nvr noticed.. arch enemies fredrik is replacing him.. maybe this will be a nice new twist for opeth?

Posted by: The Uncreator May 18 2007, 04:40 AM

Yeah i think he will do good, like i mentioned before, he has know Mikale and Opeth for awhile and has played with them before, so he knows what to expect and whats goin on.

I think he will do good.

is Frederik the one that played with Carcass for heartwork era?

Posted by: Fsgdjv May 19 2007, 11:45 AM

No, that would be Michael Amott if I'm not mistaken.

Posted by: The Uncreator May 19 2007, 03:48 PM

Yeah its Michael Amott.

Frederick Akesson replace Michael Amott's brother, Christopher, while he took some time off the road, but Christopher is back so Frederick is movin in to Opeth now.
