Beat me to it!

 

[Liquid Diamonds]

Besides Arch Enemy, he's in: Witchery, Mercyful Fate, (ex)-Sinergy, Illwill, Dismember, Facelift, and Spiritual Beggars(with good ol' Per nonetheless ).

Thank you
Didn't know he was in Mercyful Fate, that's a surprise.
Actually, this raises a question for me: Can anyone tell me if Spiritual Beggars are any good or not?

 

[annt]

Mercyful Fate rules.

Thing is, 90% of Portnoy's projects are one-offs and are now defunct. He's only really in 2 bands full-time: OSI & Dream Theater, and even that is mainly Dream Theater.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

Do you think of it as an output for different types of ideas, or just spreading ones creativity too thin? i mean, guys like vintersorg or hellhammer, i bet if they stuck with just one project it would probably develop its sound faster/better. but then again i could b wrong. If Mikael had a million groups, maybe his opeth songwriting would turn mediocre or something, but i dunno, what do you guys think

If the ideas are good, sure. But take someone like Phil Anselmo who has 100 different bands and they all suck, well, it's a waste.

I love AYREON

Or just look Devin Townsend!!!!

 

[Jude]

Steve Wilson, man. He's in Blackfield, No-Man, Bass Communion, IEM, and does his cover single series plus producing other people's albums and writing movies and who knows what other stuff, and his main band still manages to be the best one around today.

Yeah, and look how awesome DT is...

^I'm a huge fan of Wilson... but how can people not be?

 

[Liquid Diamonds]

You think? I've always preferred Perfect Circle.

Agreed.




Well, today at least. I might change my mind on that (again) tomorrow...

 

[rammpeth]

lol. yeah. but if, for example, Aesgir from Spiral quit bork, and all his bands, and concentrated on spiral,,they prolly already wouldve released the album
