It may appear glamorous, but being at that level of where Martin Lopez got to, basically got to him in a bad way. My man was burnt out and clearly wasn't feeling it anymore. Period.
You fanboys are some of the most ridiculous I've seen. I absolutely love and adore Martin Lopez, in fact he's my second favorite drummer of all time (behind Gavin Harrison). But dear god, Axenrot has done one album with Opeth so far. ONE! And you all think you're fit to judge his entire future career off of it. Even so, Burden, Porcelain Heart, Hessian Peel and Hex Omega had some amazing groove and fills to them. Will he ever replace Lopez? No. Will he create something new and amazing? Yes
I like your words, they put me at ease. Cos I'd hate opeth to go downhill . But theres alot of logic with what your saying. The last two albums opeth did with Lopez are still music to my ears (literally) hahaha but the drumming is a BIG influencing factor on what I listen to :)
Completely agreed. However, he might add a different touch to the music, and I'm sure it will still rock since it's Mikael that writes the music. I'll miss him dearly though :(
for me i got nothing much to say abt him, as my nickname shows wat he means to me.... i love da way he approaches da music... its very sad dat he had to leave opeth on a drummer as shitty as axe.... no off.... bt i guess dats da truth..
the ending of this song is amazing!!!!!!!! Guitar and drums!!!
I miss you Lopez!!!!!
perfect duo: mendez and lopez :)

Let's not make any comparsions. This video is about the drum virtuoso Lopez, so let's just big him up as he deserves.

It's easy to immitate somebody - Axe played Lopez's lines on RT. But he won't come up with such great drum parts himself on the new record.

Anyone who thinks axenrot is better than lopez, be it technically and/or as a fit for opeth, isn't really a fan of opeth at all.
