Porcupine Tree

I heard it was because the touring was getting to him.

I think I read that he planned on still being a part of music, I would be interested in solo work of his.

Yea in his letter he said the touring took its toll, and that he lost the enthusiasm and motivation to stay in opeth...idk the thing I mentioned was kind of a rumour...so who knows how true it is...but they're still good friends...so there's none of that stereotypical rockstar breakup shit going on...funny how this thread was more about Mastodon and Opeth than PT...

[bobthenuker]

In Absentia...I'm guessing that would be an album you'd probably like from PT...

Yea that interview pretty much summed it all up...Peter couldn't keep up with it all...I wonder who'd be the next to leave Opeth lol...Mendez maybe :wtf:

[bobthenuker]

Woops! I mean replaced haha, seeing as how every original member is gone...and he's been in Opeth longer than everyone but Mike...

[bobthenuker]

Isn't it weird though based on their record that the longer you stay in Opeth...the more likely you're going leave...Mike being the only original member left...if Mendez leaves...the curse will be proven true my friend

when he joined everyone but one guy left...and then he changed the name to opeth...so i guess he joined an empty band with one guy and changed the name...don't know what you call that move.
