[QUOTE=walk;13360650]dide mike do his little jokes again. in toronto he told us to call them the sweedish cocks or something like that. They were awesome[/QUOTE]

Haha that was hilarious. *crowd chants Opeth* "We've actually changed our name.. to 'The C[SIZE="2"]un[/SIZE]ts from Sweden'." *Crowd chants C[SIZE="2"]un[/SIZE]ts from Sweden*

"We didn't have any trouble at the border.. they took one look at us, and said, 'They're just so goddamn good looking! Except for that singer.. a turd, he is.'"

:lol:

^What band are we talking about here?

I tried to get an Abba chant going while waiting for Opeth, but nobody humored me. :(

mikael akerfeldt, dancing queen

One and the same!

They should play more Salsa. To be quite honest.

[QUOTE=TojesDoLan;13366219]They should play more Salsa. To be quite honest.[/QUOTE]
Their last album was pretty weird, so don't be surprised if they pull it off! :thumb:

Perhaps some polka would do.

Townsend beat them to it.

Yea, but deathpolka would be unbelievable.

[QUOTE=Shattered_Future;13366747]Yea, but deathpolka would be unbelievable.[/QUOTE]

Oriental Death-Orchestral-Polka ftw :thumb:

I would prefer Blackened Blues.

flamencodeath plz.

[QUOTE=pate;13367607]I would prefer Blackened Blues.[/QUOTE]

It's not blackened but we got a metal song in blues form. First song on my band's demo.

I do metal songs in blues form all the time. It's some serious fun.

It's the Intro.

Yo, I think you said you were gonna do a review for the new Into Eternity album. 3 were submitted in about 10 minutes, so join the bandwagon! :thumb:

I seriously thought it was some error but then realized it wasn't so I lol'd a bit.

Anyway, Blackened Blues seems more plausible, although Axe joining can be a serious detriment/strange music alliance. :-0

God, no. I would hate to see how badly Axe would butcher THAT feel...:eek:

DUM, BA DUM DUM, BA DUM DUM, BA DUM BADUMBADUMBADUMBADUMBADUMBADUM BABABABABABABABABABBAABBAABBAABBA ABBA?! :confused:

I bet Lopez could own up on some salsa like no other, though.

God, I miss him so much. Opeth needs to can Axenrot and get a real drumming like Nicholas Barker. He's got amazing speed and is also really creative...so he'd be ideal for the band.

Maybe Mike is expecting him to get better?

=[

He might as well get a better drummer for recording, though. Mikael can't be that dumb not to notice... or is he...?

:eek:

That Axe can't keep up with Lopez's "[I]suave[/I] swing". Yeah with italics in the suave and sh¡t.

Haha, suave swing.

Nobody will be able to replace ML.

I'm gonna wait...:p

3 reviews in 10 minutes is a bit much, even for me.

Come now, when I saw Axe, he wasn't as bad as people were saying he was. He managed to keep it together the whole show.

He put a dent in their show when I saw them with him. Everything was incredible except him. :-\

I didn't think he was that bad. Even on Windowpane, he ACTUALLY hit the snare drum softly at one point. :eek:

Course, bassdrums were still DOOM DOOM DOOM, but I could live with that.

It's hard to live with you've already heard Opeth with a much better drummer.

Nick Barker should have filled in.

Well, he's good at metal but that's nearly useless in a band like Opeth.

Who's this Nick Barker clown?

[QUOTE=Moses;13369377]Well, he's good at metal but that's nearly useless in a band like Opeth.[/QUOTE]
He's the coolest extreme metal drummer out there because he incorporates insane blasting with really creative parts. He's done some really cool stuff in softer sections of bands he has worked with, so I think he'd be ideal for the band after Lopez left.

[QUOTE=Kage;13369379]Who's this Nick Barker clown?[/QUOTE]
The drummer for early Cradle of Filth, later Dimmu Borgir, Old Man's Child, Lock Up, and more. He's a beast.

Barker is an unbelievable beast.

Damn you Thor for giant IE avatar. I want one. :mad:

All of the sputnik regulars love you, so you could probably get one if you wanted. :)

Sounds pretty good.

When I saw Opeth with Axenrot I thought he played admirably. I saw them with Lopez once, and he actually screwed up a couple times, unlike Axe. The two times I've seen Axe live he hasn't impressed me, but he's been far from disappointing.

Does Barker drum on Dimmu's Death Cult? The drumming on that is really good. Definitely not fitting to Opeth however.

Barker's another one with a really flat feel...I never cared for his playing all that much, TBH.

So, apparently Solefald are ****ing amazing. :eek:

Nick Barker is fast as hell but he's a pretty chiseled metal drummer. He doesn't have the style in his playing that Opeth needs.

What Solefald album did you hear?

Opeth is just truely amazing, the first album I bought by them was "Damnation" because friends told me that it was the most mainstreamish sounding and would get me hooked and guess what it did. From then I bought "Orchid" and "Blackwater Park", which are even better than the first album I bought. These guys continue to impress me.

Get Still Life.

I think they should just get Steve Gadd or Dave Weckl. Heck VC would be perfect. :p

/wonder's what Opeth would sound like with Dennis Chambers

Okay, for somthing more realistic they could get Jon Theodore from TMV or Abe Cunningham from Deftones.

Really man? I'm sure Abe is great for the Deftones, but do you think he could really keep up with Opeth?
