He's so flamboyant live too, like never sticks with the same fills on record but encorporates so much more cool shit into his playing.

I remember Axe struggling with some metal parts from the older songs, mainly double bass, which Lopez always nailed live. Axe is a lot flashier, but Lopez was so stable

I wish Axe had done/would do more non-metal stuff outside of Opeth.

Can't post a link now but one that comes to mind is masters apprentice on some festival. The one where mike says "if you dont know this song, you're a fucking cunt" lol

And yes, now that you mention it, I remember Lopez speeding up some parts, like on the spiraling to the ground below part on Drapery Falls, but it seemed like they all did it intentionally

Na Spirit is right.
I saw em live in '11 and they played Masters Apprentices and Axe's double bass patterns were noticeably lagging behind the bass and guitars.

to be fair, that shit is really hard to play at that speed constantly haha, and Axe is obviously not a metal drummer

yea it sounds like its behind because the initial kick is almost inaudible and the second one is loud as hell so it sounds like hes behind everything, watch that vid i linked with lopez the same thing happens

Yeah well to be fair the mix was HORRRIBLE so that didnt help.
The setlist sucked too, was far better when I saw em last year.

I'm on computer now, the link you posted KILL is obviously the mic problem, but on master you can hear the parts when he almost stops playing it for a second. or maybe it is a mic too idk

Well the set itself wasn't horrible, I mean the length just wasn't enough for Opeth.

The Wacken gig was a bad one for them back in '08, the height of it being Mike blaming his audio equipment for the shitty growls.
Turns out it was the start of his downfall with harsh vox :[
