    What's in the water in Sweden?

    If you decide to play bass, do you automatically shred if you're Swedish? I have a theory to why music out of Sweden blows away music from the United States............ It snows 364 days out of the year and you have nothing else to do? :lol: I recently came across "Dirty Loops" and the bass...

    Great artists similar to Seventh Wonder?

    I'm going to second Sieges Even. The Paramount album is great......... Have you heard anything by Neal Morse? It's very "Christian" and some don't like that, but the musicianship is AMAZING!!!! He has Mike Portnoy on drums. He fronted Spock's Beard years ago. And together they do Transatlantic...

    Have you seen this guy?

    What this guy does with crappy songs is amazing IMO. He's a shredder. Check it out. HE's got a bunch of videos. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQkjTfJk_EQ&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL

    Symphony X -Iconoclast

    Same chord structure, same runs..... Ehh....... There is no doubt the musicianship is excellent and Russell Allen can sing... But, I can guess where the song is going every time. It's so predictable and boring. The same guitar riffs over and over. I would give it 3 of 5 stars.

    Which Seventh Wonder song....

    For me it's Alley Cat. I think Tommy is singing those lyrics just for me! :D Just kidding! Black Parade and Edge Of My Blade are probably my favorite lyrically. No special meanings though.

    SW´s new drummer! Here he is:

    Testaments latest live DVD with John Tempesta is awesome. He plays most of the set then they bring out their original drummer. Tempesta owns the original drummer. He made the music better. Check it out if you haven't seen it.

    Do you have a SW 'standout track'?

    Maybe a cover of Britney Spears or Rebecca Black's Friday!!!!!!! Just kidding................... What I would want.... MORE BASS SOLOS!!!! And a tutorial video on how you use your right hand for the bass sweeps/runs! :) Even more guitar solos and more upbeat songs like Edge Of My Blade and...

    Do you have a SW 'standout track'?

    I've always liked Edge Of My Blade. "Fear me pagan, I'm coming to end your life!" Sweet! :) Black Parade, Break The Silence, King Of Whitewater.

    Your Favorite Guitarists

    What I love about these lists is you learn about so many new guitarists that you've never heard of. Like Carl Verheyen. What a shredder. Great tone too.

    Members of SW: what are your favorite albums of all time?

    Listening to King Of Whitewater right now. Sweet!!! You won't go wrong with the whole Mercy Falls album. But if I had to pick a few songs..... Edge Of My Blade Mercy Falls Black Parade King Of Whitewater And if you want something more "poppy" go with Alley Cat. Very melodic.

    Three questions for Johan

    I wouldn't have guessed Nuno. He is a shredder though. The Pornograffiti album is awesome. I thought it would've been more Yngwie.
