Tore Østby

[Angrafan]

What is he up to?

He is one of my favorite guitarists and song writers in metal... Is he currently involved in any musical projects?

 

[Dustro25]

I ask this question to myself all the time. Love everything he has ever touched. Hope he is doing something!

He played on this album in 2009 but he isn't listed on the band site anymore so I guess he left. Something tells me he's more or less moved on from being a professional musician at this point given that he's recorded one album in the last 10 years. Very sad, my favorite guitar player of all time.

CONCEPTION!! I still pray to the metal gods that Glenn will one day bless me with the video of their set since i missed that year due to apartment burning up. the BIGGEST disappointment in my PP history is not making festival that year.

Pretty run of the mill classic rock/hair metal. The sound of Tore's guitar is unmistakable, but the material he plays isn't very interesting or complex if you're a fan of what his compositions usually are like.

so not really the Thin Lizzy meets Whitesnake I read some where?

That is what their bio says, but I think it's more self-promotion via comparisons to big and successful bands than anything. I couldn't get into the vocalist.

There was a Thin Lizzy vibe to some extent. It was a good, solid melodic rock album, but not a good showcase for Ostby's talents. I'd love to see him work on another DC Cooper solo album.

[AngraRULES]

I did not say I had one for sale

Don't you think that's an even bigger reason for some to want it?

I swear I heard from a friend that he was doing more classical stuff... I don't know if he's recording any of it, but that's where he was musically "spending his time"
