Best of luck to Martin Lopez with his band.
Sad that he had to leave.. he's really talented! I'm pretty sure Axe will do good.

I find it rather funny that some people got all upset of this. Martin Lopez was nothing special. He was an average drummer is an above average Metal band. He never really contributed anything to the band. He pretty much kept time and added a few humor elements to their live shows. The fact is he is a good drummer, but nothing to get upset over. I do hope he finds another project and continues to do well, but I won't shed any tears over it.

Yes, I really don't think a new drummer will contribute very much to the music itself but Lopez played with Opeth for ten years. That should definitely leave a trail both in fans and in the band.
Who knows, he might even get a tribute song on their next studio album. =)

Not that anyone was shocked with this, what do you expect if a member can't go on tour with the band for more than a year. Love Lopez, but respect for Mr Axe, as it's not very rewarding to play somebody's else drumparts. He passed the test.

All the best, but i don't understand what the article said: anxiety attacks? Was he nervous? He shouldn't have been with many years of touring under his belt. Perhaps the stress of life on the road was getting to him. And I really hate when you buy an album and then they release a deluxe edition a few months later

I completely agree with this. Anyway, Opeth's music never really made the percussion even somewhat prominent to begin with.
It's still sad to see him leave though, since he did fit the band quite well, and I wish him good luck... but I'm certain some of us will "get over it" when his replacement appears.

I think all Opeth fans are gonna miss Lopez, he is such a great drummer. I hope he will return some time, I dont really like Axe.

Good luck to Martin, I hope he recover soon, in fact I´m Martin López fan more than the other drumm player and members in the band, but Opeth will continue being one of my favourite bands, I hope Axe make the best he can do and the band continue making the best music¡¡¡¡:dcool:

I know he left a long while ago, nut for some reason I never posted in here so i'm going to now. I really wasn't at all happy about lopez leaving. He added a lot to the band's style and he is one of the most talented drummers I have ever heard. Every album he played on was amazing and he could play excellent fast (April Ethereal) or slow (Benighted) when required. He will be missed by many fans, but it's time for the band to move on. 'Axe' is a very able drummer himself and i'm sure he won't have that much trouble filling Lopez's shoes for the time being.
