It's probably a case of Jani not wanting to go out touring. Also, don't forget that Jens Johansson is also in Cain's Offering. They're probably a bit funny about a band sharing too many members as it risks them sounding the same as each other (although having Lauri Porra and Matti Kupiainen...

This survey gave me a good excuse to dig out my old PQ albums and have a listen through them. So... 1. Favourite Song: Neverworld Mostly for the reasons stated above. 2. Favourite PQ Record : Master of Illusion The Deep Space 9 of PQ albums. Also, should really be filed under melodic...

That's funny, I just got back from seeing U.D.O. at the Islington Academy. Absolutely fantastic. The sound was perfect, and Udo sounded great (though he didn't move much). And with increasing numbers of bands playing 75 minute sets, it was amazing to see a band play 2 whole hours! Though he...

Reading the Dune series has only served to remind me that I don't really do science fiction. After some too-ing and fro-ing (and having some difficulty getting back into reading again), I have decided to reread the whole Discworld series. I had been planning on doing this anyway, even before...

The court case is settled. There's now only one Queensryche. Geoff Tate has to make do with calling himself Operation: Mindcrime. It's not surprising that certain websites haven't caught up, though. There is a Father Ted episode, in which Ted is visited by a priest with a moustache, and he...

Finally finished Words of Radiance. Very good book, and has left some very interesting threads to come in the next book (Stones Unhallowed), involving the Ghostbloods, Taravangian, the diagram, Szeth etc. etc. etc. 2016 can't come soon enough! After some umming and aahing, I've decided to...

The bonus track is nothing special, BTW. If you prefer more aggressive BG, you can skip straight over it.

It did occur to me that maybe Joakim Broden is like a thrash or death metal-type growler, except that the vocal lines are actually proper melodic vocal lines, rather than simply rhythmic barking. I barely notice the rolled Rs. Maybe he just forgets to not roll them when he's speaking English?

Just fucking download any missing bonus tracks. EDIT: They want people to shell out more for the special edition. Some people are mad enough to buy all of the versions of an album. [/StatingTheObvious]

You'll fucking love this song, as well (skip to 4:10 for the best bit :-) ) And the chorus to this song will be totally up your street (skip to 1:04, if you're feeling impatient).

Just a silly indescribable thing that I can't quite put my finger on. Whenever I hear something is at the Forum, I think "Oh god, I've got to get the tube to Kentish Town, then I've got to walk all the way from the tube station to the venue." I'm not sure why I feel like that. I much prefer...

Now, usually at something like this, I would look to see the support band only (Twilight Force will also be playing this, BTW). But I simply don't know if I'll be working that day, and if so, if I can get out on time.

You have to bear in mind that I couldn't really hear the rhythm guitar to begin with. As I said, I could hear the drums, vocals, and piped-in keyboards (well, I couldn't see a keyboard player), but the guitars and bass sounded like an audio mush. When the guitarist stopped playing, it still...
