Post What Heavy / Progressive Rock You Are Listening to...

Here's a fairly recent iteration of Kansas that a lot of people haven't heard. They're still very prog.

@mrpinter Allthough I miss the voice of Steve Walsh, it sounded very much like good old Kansas.
BTW, there is a good documentary of Kansas from 2015, and some clips of that movie are shown on the Kansas YT page. Thanks for sharing!

We discussed Yngwie in the beginning of this week. Well, I did ”listen” to this, so I guess I can post it here.

I listened to the Beato / Yngwie interview also, quite topical as it is just appeared on YouTube yesterday shortly after some Yngwie content in the thread.

One of the songs that I am revisiting. It’s one of Ed’s grooviest riffs, IMHO - and so many small details that make the song so fun to play. Ed said he was inspired by Back In Black when he wrote it. Maybe another reason why I like this song

That ain't nothin' but 10-cent lovin'.

I KNOW, it's for sure not progressive, and only arguably heavy. BUT IT'S MY PUNCHLINE.

At least I didn't post the (arguably superior) Otis Redding version.

My goodness, that's a lot of drums! Somehow they make it work, though. Pretty cool.

Yeah, part of the joy of that performance is watching the drummers very consciously cooperating.

I see your 10 cent luvin and arguably heavy good cover and raise you an even bigger backline of Marshalls and an Abba song.

Yngwie Malmsteen - Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (Abba Cover)

I wonder if Björn & Benny approves this version….

I reckon the royalties ease whatever pain might be there.

Black Sabbath - Heaven & Hell (Full Album)

@Spud great choice with Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush.

We all may as well quit playing now I guess..................

 

[VanHeGen]

@Spud Mancuso has developed from a technical virtuoso to a musician writing good songs. He’s still young, so it will be interesting to see where he’ll go from here.

I think this counts as both heavy and progressive. I've been listening to Marco Minneman for years, but Mohini Dey is new to my ears, and she is an absolute monster. They play with such joy, these two!
