OPETH's MIKAEL ÅKERFELDT Pays Tribute To DAVID BOWIE
"And… Today I was reached by the news of David Bowie's passing. He was such an important artist for OPETH. Many of you might find that hard to believe, but that's how it is. It's with terrible sadness we have to accept that he's gone. He made some absolutely incredible music and I still frequent his discography on a regular basis.
"When I was a young heavy metal kid I remember I made 'wish list' for my birthday. I wanted a heavy metal back patch for my jacket. Sure enough, I got a soft, flat wrapped up gift that indeed looked like it would include some cool metal patch. I eagerly tore it open only to find that the back patch had a print of, not IRON MAIDEN or the SCORPIONS, but of David Bowie's 'Let's Dance' record. I was a massive fan of that record but I wanted to look like a heavy metal fan, so I was slightly disappointed, and the patch never ended up on my jacket. Since then, I've fallen in love with his records. From 'Space Oddity' To 'Hunky Dory' and 'The Man Who Sold The World'. There are so many classics. Far too many to mention, really.
"Bowie was a pioneer, as far as I'm concerned. He never did was what expected of him, and he often changed his musical direction to almost the complete opposite to what he'd done previously. That's something I admire. Artists who seem unable to play it safe and just deliver what's expected of them. Artists who explore the world of music, and push their own boundaries as individual musicians. There's quite a few of them about still, but in Bowie we certainly lost one of the very best. And I still love 'Let's Dance', even if I certainly can't dance myself.
"David Bowie, rest in peace."
