Great that we got a place here to talk about other musicians.
I would like to talk about the guitarist Akira Kajiyama.
I know him only from his working with Joe Lynn Turner. In 2005 they did a great Album together “Fire without flame”. I thought after that we would hear more from this guy but nothing happened.
Wikipedia says that he´s very famous in Japan but the information on Wikipedia is poor.
His official website is only available in japanese.
Does someone of you know this guy?

Thanks for the youtube video metatron.
Isn´t he great guys?
It´s too bad that there isn´t more stuff from him available.
Seems only Joe Lynn Turner can appreciate his talent outside of Japan.
By the way also Joe Lynn Turner is brilliant on "Fire without flame". I guess he´s one of the best hardrock singers.

he's great and I like Turner. I saw Turner so many times on the Ynqwie tour. One time they seemed to be having a big fight. After hearing that airplane fight with passengers and crew I no longer care for Yngwie.

I had only one time the chance to see Yngwie, on his Eclipse tour.
Yes, I think he can be eccentric but his playing is so fascinating. I really love his special style. Also his accoustic playing is amazing.
I don´t like the singer Tim Owens on Yngwies last two albums so much but they are great although.
Doublev, Joe Lynn Turner was involved in a project named Brazen Abbot which was formed by the guitarist Nikolo Kotzev. Really great music. Check it out if you don´t know it.
