LMAO reading this thread....

 

I hadn't heard about it (or paid any attention to it) before seeing the news that Erik Martensson would be involved...

 

This is just crazy. I suppose it could be good but mostly I think it's feel like some compilation CD if they actually have different guys singing lead on various tracks.

 

Sounds like a very poor idea to me.

Well, they finally landed someone we might all recognise

Post corrected.

He had it right first time.

 

 

:lol: That's only because half the band is your beloved Night Flight Orchestra, isn't it? The majority of music fans have no idea who those guys are. ;)

Actually the singer is very well known cos hes from Soilwork.

 

In any case my point is Erik is a king in my opinion.

 

Oh, the guy from Spoilwork! You should have told me. I absolutely love their... uh... that time they did that... uh... oh, when they recorded that... uh... who?!

 

Seriously, if Soilwork us meant to be a well known band I must have missed that memo. Didn't they only record two pointless nu-metal albums about 10 years ago that probably faded into oblivion as soon as they were recorded?

 

All jokes aside, for the audience I believe they're trying to cater two, the only two names in that list that I have any time at all for are Chris Laney and Eric Martensson. I don't know the other dudes from a bar of soap. I know there's the new bass player for Treat which is cool, but he's hardly an established name in the genre at all.

I dont know any of the others dudes either.

Classic. Your previous comment made me want to watch this again. I don't think I give this one enough credit, because I always talk about The Life of Brian.
