the best side projects ever thread

[mutantllama]

Your gay.
(I still love you)

 

[~Neurotica]

Pretty much so.

 

[Einherjar86]

Demons and Wizards (side project between Iced Earths Jon Schaeffer and Blind Guardians Hansi Kurshch)

I forgot about Demons and Wizards.

 

[mutantllama]

Oh, that's hot.
*edit* At Neurotica

 

[Belligerent]

Down
Bloodbath
Blackfield
Liquid Tension Experiment

Bloodbath is better than Opeth and post-BMD Katatonia put together.

Um, no.

 

[Bassman366]

Humanoid

Hypnotic Vendetta

 

[SWAT]

Control Denied

I never got into them, when I hear their CD it sounds great an all but it seems like something is missing. Maybe if they had a vocalist I would have liked it.

 

[The Ozzman]

Yeah, he was singing lyrics meant for Chuck, who yelped the lyrics.

 

[King Richard]

Does Edge of Sanity count? I think everything Swano is involved in would be considered a side project so...yeah.

 

[Zephyrus]

Liquid Tension Experiment

This is the one metal band (if they count as metal) that I got my jazz-oriented friend into. Personally I find them better than Dream Theater.

 

[entanglement]

Lurker of Fucking Chalice - Leviathan side-project.

 

[viewerfromnihil]

Bloodbath is better than Opeth and post-BMD Katatonia put together.

 

[entanglement]

Does Edge of Sanity count? I think everything Swano is involved in would be considered a side project so...yeah.

while his main project being running a store.

 

[The Ozzman]

Bloodbath is better than Opeth and post-BMD Katatonia put together.

Not really.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Odious Mortem? Not sure if they are really a side-project though.

 

[Belligerent]

This is the one metal band (if they count as metal) that I got my jazz-oriented friend into. Personally I find them better than Dream Theater.

Yeah. I like John Petrucci and LTE but I don't like Dream Theater at all.

 

[skeptik]

Edge Of Sanity is like the one Swano project that I wouldn't call a side project.

 

[Vimana]

Liquid Tension Experiment.

 

[waif]

Bloodbath and Control Denied, hell yeah.

Avantasia (Tobias Sammet of Edguy)
Hammerfall (started as a project of Jesper Stromblad of In Flames)
Dimmension Zero (Jesper Stromblad of In Flames + some other dudes)
Wintersun (the s/t was written while he was still in Einsiferum)
Luca Turilli (Rhapsody's guitarist)
some others

 

[Einherjar86]

Wintersun (the s/t was written while he was still in Einsiferum)

I didn't know that. That probably ascends to my favorite spot now.
