Their best, shining moments ...

[Mort Divine]

So. We all have our favorite bands, and with them comes the members. The members usually work together in perfect harmony in order to make them so awesome, but even then that does not stop each member from having their shining moment.

So, what you will do is post the name of your favorite band, as well as each member and what they play in the band, as well as what song you feel their best moment(s) is in.

For vocal moments, post which line in the song is your particular favorite.
For non-vocal moments, post what part of the song is your favorite for the instrument.

Yngwie - Black Star, Far Beyond the Sun, or Icarus' Dream Suite Op. 4

Jeff Scott Soto - As Above, So Below

Marcel Jacob - None because he had no input

Anders Johansson - Anguish and Fear (Live in Tokyo '85 version)

Jens Johansson - Far Beyond the Sun or Krakatau

 

[Ender Rises]

Nice thread
Alice in Chains
Layne Staley -- Vocals -- He wrote few songs for the band, but this is my favorite line he wrote.
"Lonliness is not a phase
Field of pain is where I graze
Serenity is far away
Saw my reflection and cried
So little hope that I died
Feed me your lies, open wide
Weight of my heart, not the size"
from Angry Chair
His best performance would have to be on River of Deciet, with his side project Mad Season

Jerry Cantrell -- Guitar/Vocals -- His best written song is Heaven Beside You, although many others leap to mind
His best vocal performance is either Heaven Beside You or Anger Rising when he was going solo.
His best guitar performance is easily Man in the Box or Them Bones when he actually played decent solos.

Mike Starr -- Original Bassist, on Facelift and Dirt -- He wrote many great lines but the best is on Would? or Rooster

Mike Inez -- Replacement for Mike Starr, on the self titled album a.k.a. the Dog album. -- His best is on I Stay Away but all of the bass lines on the Dog album kick ass.

Sean Kinney -- Drums -- Tough one. Probably No Excuses.

They currently tour with William Duvalluke: on vocals, who's best performance is when he doesn't sing, and Duff McKagen on rhythm guitar.
