I agree 10000% on all counts (except that I DO care if Ark comes back...I'd kill for more Ark!).
I love Jorn's voice, but haven't loved most of his other stuff (the Allen/Lande was pretty cool, though, and his solo discs are pretty good...the other stuff is "OK, but not my thing").
Tore is a brilliant guitarist, has a truly unique style, a great sense of melody (sorely lacking in many other guitarists), and he seems to be a helluva nice guy, too.
Anyone know what he's working on these days? He told me at PP6 that he's probably going to be working with DC Cooper on his next solo disc...anyone know of any other Tore projects in the works?
