	Lewis Allan, editor of "The Force" Lewis Allan	I have to say, like so many others, I was sad to see Peter go. I'm a huge fan of your work with Arch Enemy though, and I have great faith in the band's choice in you as their new guitarist. Best of luck, I'm sure you'll have a blast, and so will we! Horns up indeed, ~ Lewis   Posted by Lewis Allan, editor of "The Force" on Sunday, May 20, 2007 - 3:09 PM [Reply to this]

	Baha Bahadur Muslimov	Can't wait for the concert in Stockholm. Actually I've never seen Opeth live. Hope to be in Sweden when you give some live!   Posted by Baha on Sunday, May 20, 2007 - 6:57 PM [Reply to this]

	Optimistic Pessimist Rick Lobster	They have some real odd harmony stuff.Peter usually plays different parts over Mike's stuff which makes it interesting.You will really have to do your homework to play in Opeth they are very busy but not speed tech busy more prog busy{lol!}Big shoes to fill that's for sure.Good luck man!   Posted by Optimistic Pessimist on Monday, May 21, 2007 - 7:22 AM [Reply to this]

	DEBORAH MESSIER Deborah Messier	WELCOME FREDRIK...I WILL ADMIT THAT IT'S GOING TO BE VERY STRANGE NOT TO SEE PETER PHYSICALLY UP THERE ONSTAGE...AFTER 7 YEARS , OPETH HAS BECOME A PERMANENT DETAIL IN MY LIFE, ESPECIALLY PETER'S GUITAR-PLAYING. HE HAS BEEN A TREMENDOUS INSPIRATION TO ME THAT WAY AS WELL AS OPETHS MUSIC AS A WHOLE....I'M EXCITED BUT NOT SURE HOW I REALLY FEEL YET, BUT I KNOW THAT AS SOON AS YOU WALK OUT ONSTAGE AND THE MUSIC BEGINS, IT WONT SEEMS SO DIFFERENT, YA KNOW? I AM DEFINATELY LOOKING FORWARD TO WHAT YOU AND MIKE WORK ON TOGETHER FOR GUITAR AND THE FUTURE OF OPETH. I HOPE IT'S A LONG JOURNEY FOR YOU AND THE REST OF THE LADS AS I DONT THINK I COULD HANDLE ANOTHER CHANGE IN THE LINE-UP. ALL THE BEST FREDRIK!!! ps> i am a big arch enemy fan as well.....   Posted by DEBORAH MESSIER on Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - 8:51 AM [Reply to this]

	Rob V Rob Van Horn	I also appreciate your work with arch enemy. It is a huge loss for them without you. Considering your previous efforts, I am interested to see what you bring to Opeth since their style is far different. I believe you will add an interesting element to the music.

	myspace.com/scarlettlakeband Daniel Imbert	I saw you play with arch enemy on gigantour last year and i was very impressed im sure you'll rip it up in opeth one of the most amazing bands ive ever seen   Posted by myspace.com/scarlettlakeband on Tuesday, June 12, 2007 - 5:40 PM [Reply to this]

	Ata from X3N! Ata Ferrari	of all the guitarists i never expected opeth to embrace you- and dont take that badly, your one of the mightiest death metal shredders to grace us in Arch Enemy and Krux, and i dont doubt you will be able to play majestic acoustic stuff too. i just expected them to recruit a more, mellow axeman but im really glad that it is u now in opeth as i know you will do an excellent job and no doubt will you enjoy it as will i. i am not worried about future material from opeth as i know the guitar work will be stunning. definatley see you on tour, 100%PURE FUCKING METAL! good on you man!   Posted by Ata from X3N! on Monday, June 18, 2007 - 5:58 PM [Reply to this]

	Jimmy	I am really looking forward to your contribution and involvment with Opeth. I heard some of your music with Arch Enemy and I was really impressed. This next Opeth album should really serve as a unique and diferent, perhaps better musical experience, seeing as the band now has a brand new guitarist and drummer. I am very happy that you were able to find a secure role with Opeth because I never want to see this band dissolve. Thank you!   Posted by Jimmy on Friday, August 10, 2007 - 10:09 PM [Reply to this]

	BORG9	I don't envy the task you have before you. I'm not familiar with your work in Arch Enemy but I doubt it could be anywhere near as complex as what Opeth achieves. I'm saddened by the line up changes but hopeful that something good will arise from it. Opeth has always been my favorite band. I want it to stay that way! Good luck to you.   Posted by BORG9 on Friday, September 21, 2007 - 9:54 PM [Reply to this]

	JakezO)))rs Jake Kulkowski	I can't really say anything that has not already been said. Peter was talented and you have big shoes to fill. But i've seen you once before and you were amazing. I'm 100% certain you won't let us down! Now stop readin' this and help Mikael finish the new album, THEN TOUR THE UK! |m/!   Posted by JakezO)))rs on Monday, October 01, 2007 - 10:30 PM [Reply to this]

	Michael Michael Knezevic	As everyone will say that Peter is one of the pioneers of the Great band of Opeth, but we shall say that change for this band is problay something in a sense a good thing because its someone totally different but from an amazing band (Arch Enemy). Who is filled with talent and in my opinion should be the best man to suit this job. Now I will say that Fredrik and Opeth get a new cd together soon and let's start this new tour please   Posted by Michael on Tuesday, October 30, 2007 - 7:24 AM [Reply to this]
