Adagio

Their debut and second albums are really good. I can only complain about the guitar tone, but of course it is everybody's own liking. But i feel like they tend to go more power metal in their latest. I don't know.
 
Here you go, guys 'n' gals! I don't know if these have been posted before, but they are amazing! (Vids of Franck and Stephan)

Ha! That's orgasmic! And I thought John Myung was good...

@ SilentRealm - If you get the chance, sure! But it's not that big of a deal, so only if you want.
 
I think Dominate is their best work. It's like a perfect mix of Symphony X and Opeth! I can't stop listening to Children of the Dead Lake and R'lyeh the Dead.
R'lyeh The Dead is my fave...that 2 minute intro is just awesome...it's a sort of Danny Elfman-ish movie score feel that builds, and then all hell breaks loose. And I love the use of simultaneous growls and clean vox.
 
Well i'm french and I can tell you we're proud to have them.

One of the best french metal bands IMHO... I saw Stephan Forte at a clinic long time ago, Adagio was not known yet (didn't even release their first album) but he was already shredding his ass off. There was a mass of people struck there in front of him...

I (for some reasons) particularly enjoy their keyboard player Kevin Codfert. He's also playing for Venturia, another french gem you should check out.
 
Ok, now I'm gonna ask again. Is the keyboardist REALLY THAT GREAT??? His studio stuff speaks for itself but I've never seen their live performance so I can't be one to judge.

Viv !!!!! How you doin man :) I am really surprised to see you here. How is the baby ?

And yes, Kevin is good, but you are god :loco: :lol:

And Mrfast, you can trust Viv about his comments about Kevin. Viv is the guy behind the project "Lalu" and the producer of "Hubi Meisel" albums. Also long time expected project from him "Shadrane" is on the way.
