Did that happen to you?
Lol.. yup. Probably back in like '02 or '03. We were hanging out after a show and Lopez was going around trying to score weed. Unfortunately we didn't have any
.
Funny follow-up though - there was this other kid we were hanging out with, and Lopez tried to score off him too, but he also didn't have any. Fast forward 2 or 3 years, and we're at another show, again hanging out by the back door waiting for the band, and we see this same kid. So we're like... "hey, remember that time Lopez tried to buy weed off of us?! Haha that was so funny etc etc"... so the kid is like "Yeah... but listen to this - the next time I went to see Opeth after that show, I brought some weed with me, and I ran into Lopez again, and when I offered him some he invited me onto the bus to smoke with him". I obviously have no idea whether the kid just made that up of if it actually happened, but it wouldn't surprise me if it did. Aside from Mendez (who also kept to himself), the rest of the band was always extremely fan-friendly. Peter even left an out-going voicemail message on my friend's cell phone, so for years afterwards, every time I'd call him and get his v/m, I would hear: "This is Peter from Opeth... you're calling Justin's phone... leave a fucking message!"
But yeah, after that Lopez story, it certainly came as less of a surprise to us when he left the band because of a drug problem :/.
