Opeth fans is there any way that Axe Axernot can fill the shoe print that Martin Lopez left?

Question

Don't get me wrong I love Axe but I hes got one Album under his belt. Martin Lopez has 5 albums he completed with Opeth and on top of that the performance he put on those albums can;t be matched IMO. I would even go as far to say I have never heard better drumming performance then what he put down on all those albums from track 1 to the end of each album. MAYH to Ghost Reveries

Agree/Disagree?

or do you guys prefer Anders Nordin (1990-1997)

What do you think.

Answer 1

I agree, Lopez was the man!  BUT Axe is also great, and after seeing Opeth live a few months ago I can safely say that he has filled in just fine!!  Lopez is still my fav drummer they've ever had.

Everytime Opeth has replaced a member the person that steps in has always been phenomenal...but I do miss Lopez and Lindgren.  I don't think Akerfeldt makes the band but honestly he is the only one that isn't replacable IMO...
