DonS 3,292 Posted January 5, 2019 Fvcking love it. Thanks DonS Honorable mention- The Winery Dogs first album was fantastic. Mike Billy Richie Kotzen (sp??) I need to check out Winery Dogs.

nzoner 937 Posted January 5, 2019 Ever heard of Ayreon? Basically a Dutch guy who puts out albums that are essentially scifi concept albums / rock operas. He does all the guitars and keyboards. For the vocals he enlists different singers for the different roles. Most are from European acts I hadn't heard of before, but there are a few others you're probably familiar with. James Labrie from DT, singers from Symphony X, and Between The Buried and Me are on his latest album. Earlier albums had Fish from Marillion, Mikael Åkerfeldt from Opeth, Devin Townsend, and even Bruce Dickinson. It's pretty cheesy, but I like it. Yes I have,not a lot of them mind you but of the ones I have this would be my favorite Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DonS 3,292 Posted January 5, 2019 Yes I have,not a lot of them mind you but of the ones I have this would be my favorite Human Equation is a very good album. My son is the one that introduced me to Ayreon. The albums work great on long road trips. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DonS 3,292 Posted January 5, 2019 You guys should check out Opeth if you haven't already. Interesting band whose early stuff is pretty much straight death metal but then they gradually became more and more progressive. My son turned me on to them since Steven Wilson produced their 2001 album Blackwater Park. They have an interesting mix of harsh and clean vocals. Harsh vocals at the start of the following song can be a turnoff for some, but stick it out until ~1:00 mark when it switches up: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
