BEST Keyboardist of the weekend

[BobbyWilliamson]

Andreas Lindahl from Manticora gets my vote! That kid shredded like it was nothing man, and he has stage presence. He never made my Alesis Qs7 sound so good! My hat's off to him. Nice guy too!

I think I would have to agree with ya bro.....

 

[t0ny]

I second that vote, although it was a thrill to finally see the great Jens Johansson in action!

 

[adaher]

I think Jens Johannson, followed by the guy from Stride, followed by the guy from Circus Maximus.

 

[Rider of Theli]

Andreas Lindahl from Manticora (...and Wuthering Heights, let's not forget)

 

[adaher]

I thought Wuthering Heights used Platitude's keyboardist?

Andreas Lindahl from Manticora (...and Wuthering Heights, let's not forget)

hahaha, I thought he looked familiar!

Jenns has always been one of my all time favorite keyboardist, but I am going to have to say this here, as I mentioned it before somewhere else, Rick Flores of Stride blew me the hell away! Very inspirational, I wish I could already play like that. Great musician!

 

[booB]

I pick Jens... he's way too good for Stratovarius

 

[rockyracoon]

Rick Flores played a damn KEYTAR!!! he gets my vote!

 

[nightwish58]

No brainer- Jens is probably the best keyboard player in the world aside from Jordan Rudess.

Smiley gets my vote. He nailed DC's music with only 2 days to learn and a couple of in person practices. THAT is friggin' amazing.

 

[Section16]

My votes are Jan from Dreamscape (Pre Party) and the dude from Stride. Both killer players.

Agreed. They're both great players, and have tons of STYLE and great sense of MELODY, which is something many others lack (this is equally true of a lot of guitarists).

 

[Dolamite S. Biffle]

Jens totally, no fucking question.

Ian

The guy from Opharain Land

with ya on this one dude, Jens is awesome and we were right in front of him but the dude from Manticora was a show and a half!

 

[adaher]

Actually, yeah, Smiley played some really tasteful stuff during DC's set. It was really noticeable. Loved the Dream theater cover as well.
