How come Ajren never recruited Jorn as a singer?

[Michael TEOF]

I just noticed Jorn was the singer for Vagabond. Wasn't Arjen the guitarist for this band? If so, how come Jorn never performed on an Ayreon album? He would seem like an obvious choice.

Bad blood maybe?

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

who knows, maybe he will on his next project

Arjen strikes me as the kind of guy who tries to feature people he thinks should get some PR that don't (like Marcela Bovio, Eric Clayton, Heather Findlay...) and also the best he can find. I think Jørn definitely fits the bill, and I wouldn't be surprised at all if he was on a future Ayreon disc

The answer is obvious. Arjen received a psychic message from a thousand year old blind prophet telling him not to have Jorn on an album.

Makes sense to me.

Or from a stoned hippie...

I thought it was an alien who did it via a dream.

Tsk tsk. You should all know it was the voices in his head.

That was Steve Vai wasn't it?

Because the audiences would be laid waste with the awesomeness of that combination! But then again, not even Jørn could out do, Sir Russell Allen's rendition of "Dreamtime"! So it may be safe.

Considering Arjen's constant quest for top-notch vocalists for his albums, I would imagine Jorn either has been asked, or will be asked in the future to work with him.

Nope. The Barbarian did it in the kitchen with a Talking Sword.

Vagabond is NOT Vengeance, which was the Dutch band featuring both Arjen and Ian Parry.

As for why Jorn hasn't been on an Ayreon album? No clue. Maybe Arjen's ankling for David Coverdale instead (that would be nice)

It took you guys long enough to correct me

Thanks.
