Some awesome bands mentioned on here:
Paw should have been massive – ‘Death To Traitors’ remains one of my favourite albums of all time. “Hope I die tonight” is a song which just sends shivers down my spine.
D:A:D’s “helpyourselfish” should have sold millions – not a dull moment.
Kill 2 This wrote some phenomenal songs but sadly Mark Mynett was impossible to work with – sacked his entire band. Twice. Usually took 90% of gig payments himself and expected the rest of them to live on fresh air. Great guitarist & songwriter but a bit of a git generally.
Devin Townsend should be better known than he is – if Coldplay has released ‘Ih-Ah’ (unrepresentative of his usual output) the world would be sick to hearing it by now

He can do it live too….

And the rather stunning Dutch lady in the background is Anneke van Giersbergen – formerly of ‘The Gathering’ she has a simply staggering voice. Plus she’s generally a rather lovely person too. One of the nicest people I have ever had the fortune to meet:
