Does anyone know this guy? I'm wondering if he's the same Jack Frost I saw back in the 80's. When I was 16 or 17 (16 years ago) I was in a band out of Toms River, NJ. There was a club called Olsens that we used to play at just about every week. For a month or so there was a band that featured a guitar player named Jack Frost, the band was also called Jack Frost. He was such an Yngvai wannabe is was laughable. He had all this incredibly expensive, top of the line equipment and had no finesse in his playing at all. They played very basic 80's pop metal but when it came time for the solo they were all exactly the same, a ridiculously fast mish mosh of notes up and down the scale. I remember he even did a guitar solo in the middle of their set where he started off with some sort of clean finger picking thing which lasted for about 30 seconds, and then right back to the mish mosh. I just remember all the guitarists used to laugh because he was being billed as some great guitar player and he really wasn't at all. I assumed he wasn't all that old because his father used to come to the shows and helped him lug his ridiculously huge amount of equipment. He also had a powder blue guitar, I think it was a Jackson or ESP, that he used primarily.
I'm wondering if the Jack Frost from Seven Witches is the same guy. I got to the Cleveland show in time to only see their last song and a half (Metal Messiah was the closer). I don't remember the guitarist doing the blazing solo in that song so I'm wondering if it's the same guy. I'm assuming the Jack Frost from back in NJ was in his early 20's or so when I saw him, which would make the Jack Frost from Seven Witches (if it's the same guy) about late 30's, maybe 40 years old. Also, is Jack from SW from NJ? I was wondering how SyX got hooked up with them for this tour (as I don't know who SW's label is) and figured that maybe they were friends of SyX from NJ.
Anyway, it would be interesting to know if this is the same guy.

Just goes to show how much everyone loves you Yngvai
