Why you mentioned "Sykes" I imagine you are referring to John Sykes (forgive my idiocy) ?

I didnt know he had a solo proect... Cant find his solo band info on www.metal-archives.com can you somewhat point me in the right direction?

TYRAN' PACE (with a young Ralf Scheepers on vox) was more of a Priest clone than an Accept one IMO. But it was a very good 80s traditional metal band anyway.

UNREST could be a mix of Accept & Running Wild. Very nice German metal.

HAWK-s/t (1986) could qualify as a good Dio-styled band, with the excellent David Fefolt on vox

[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rbHVQ9OPhc&feature=related[/ame] (don't let the pic and description fool you, this song is with Fefolt on vox and is from the 1986 s/t album, which was not glam at all...)

FIREWOLFE (David Fefolt's new band) released a killer s/t album last year. Again, traditional HM that could fit the Dio-style.

AVIGAL-Unbroken could also fit the description


Hope this helps.

The singer always reminded me of Dio - might have to do with the fact the guitarist is Dio's cousin.

I am surprised that no one mentioned under Accept clones Udo Dirkscheiders brother Peters band "Vanize" Real good Accept like Metal!

This one is always overlooked when discussing Whitesnake sounding bands, but don't make the mistake of not checking this one out! It's awesome!

ex-Grim Reaper singer vocals kind of ruin the Whitesnake vibe for me....I like the music though...
