Per

[fuscous]

Per should never become a member of Opeth.

Opeth is a quartet of metal legend, and I hope it STAYS that way.

so, no permanent keyboard member. I only want insane guitars, bass, and drums!... and growls!!!!!

Exactly!

Mistakes belongs to live performing, I think it's good thing to do mistake or two in a song.

Mistakes belong in live shows only because you shouldnt record yourself making a bunch of mistakes. I don't actually WANT to hear mistakes, how are they better than being flawless? Anyhow, I just don't think hes that good. He played To Rid the Disease completely wrong when I saw them on the Damnation tour and I've seen nothing since to impress me.

 

[L0bster]

I dunno what the hell you guys are babblin on about. Per owns your sorry asses.

 

[NFU]

per knows what hes doing. if you actually LISTEN to spiritual beggars, youll realize this. Hes not just "background mood" either...if you understand what keyboards are typically for, then you will also come to this conclusion.

 

[Luz]

No, he doesn't suck, I liked his background vocals on the Dvd and he's good at keyboards, that's all I have to say.

@Deliverance: You're right. His hair is insanely looong. Bwhahaha! (I like it, yeh)

 

[Aaron A.]

I agree with you, Luz.

Singing and playing piano are two different things. I liked his backup vocals too, but i think with a year's training i could do what he does...

 

[Risquit]

Its a matter of taste. Because you don't like his playing doesn't mean he sucks. Would Mikael hire a subpar musician?

You could say the same thing for some of Opeth's vocals, guitar riffs and drum beats. Technical skill is no measure of a musician.

I personally have absolutely no problem with Per's ability nor the concept of him joining Opeth. In fact, i think it would be quite interesting and i would welcome him as long as i keep enjoying the music, and i'm sure i would.

Then do it. When you can talk big, you can prove it in a year.
Can't stand this discussion. Like Risquit said. Would they hire him when he's so bad?
Not everyone has to play like the Children of Bodom guy to do fitting keyboard parts for songs.

 

[BurningSky]

You're probably right risquit, it is probably just a matter of taste. Learning that shit in a year was an obvious exaggeration, so relax... I guess I'm just not super impressed with what i've seen so far and i'll have to judge by hearing the next album. Something like the children of bodom keys would not fit opeth at all and I dont care about those dudes that shredd on keyboard, so thats not the deal at all.
