He was astounding live when I saw him with Yngwie in 08. I'm not overly crazy about Ripper on CD, but like the guy from Pagan's Mind, he's incredible live.
I can't remember if Yngwie sang this song or not when I saw him, but Yngwie did sing a song. And actually, Yngwie's a pretty good singer - I was quite surprised! But then again, it's sort of like Sammy Hagar, when you play with world class musicians, how can you not become decent yourself?
For a reason at least Sixx and I are quite fans of Tim in here . Said that I have to be the first to point that his performance in the new Avantasia album (yes it raeady leaked) is pretty generic, specially considering the Charred Walls Of The Damned album.
