I'll throw in my "3 cents":

dUg Pinnick
Ty Tabor
Jerry Gaskill [only one solo album, and not one I pull out often. But, for the sake of cohesiveness...]

4th cent:

Also, that Steven Patrick - Red Reign was an album that slayed. Gonna crank that one again now [after, at least, a decade!!!!]

Ok, a nickel and I am done:

ALL of Minoru Niihara's solo/post-pre/side etc stuff is amazing! ALL OF IT! Sly, Ded Champlin, XYZ-A,. My fav being the Kick In the Ass live show that was only on vhs, but I transferred mine to mp3. Killer KILLER stuff!!

Good call on those King's X solo ventures.

I would include James Labrie in my list as well. Each of his three solo albums are much more listenable than anything Dream Theater has done in a long time.

One album I dig a lot is Steve Jones (of the Sex Pistols) Fire and Gasoline. It's more like The Cult than the Pistols, and it rips.

Plus that guy Alice Cooper still rocked pretty hard when he went solo. Michael Bruce's solo stuff is good.

And, it's kinda spotty, in that some of the tracks are garbage, but I mostly dig Duff's Believe in Me album.

Jani Lane


Just wondering what people are thinking of from Jani's solo material.... Back Down to One? I thought it was pretty subpar, even compared to the last couple Warrant albums he was on. The Jaberwocky demos are kind of interesting. It's too bad he abandoned the project. My favorite thing he was involved in outside of Warrant was the Saints of the Underground "supergroup."

I recently re-visited Back Down to One and the Saints album and found both to be quite enjoyable. BDTO is more poppy, but I don't mind that.

Ooh yeah, seconded. That album is badass.

I just listened to BDTO as well because of this thread. I didn't find it unenjoyable, but I just wish the songs had more staying power. My favorite is the last track, "Sick," because it actually has a memorable guitar riff, and Jani does some cool layering things with the vocals in the chorus. It was great to hear his voice on something unfamiliar, but I just got kind of bored with the instrumentation overall, which was pretty much nothing but power chords.



BTW, does anyone have the fully mastered version of Jabberwocky that was allegedly leaked in the bootleg community in 2005? I only have the demos.

Ya had to follow his lifeline and where he was with each album.  As far as divorce, questioning his spirituality, death, etc.  But, I totally get where you are coming from.  "Safety" still messes me up when I listen to it.

All my days ... all my life
I have questioned wrong and right
Anything that I see
Makes me face reality
And then there's you
A million miles
Come together in a smile
Memories try to fade ...
All the things that we've made
And then my mind tells me
To keep my heart in place

But your eyes
Make me weak
Make me strong
Make me feel that I belong
And your eyes
Make me laugh
Make me cry
Make me feel that I can fly

Steal away for a call
Hear your voice but that is all
I wish I could hold your hand
See you through and understand
Is it real? Is this love?
Is it push or is it shove?
Will we play in the aisle?
Or will it just last a while?
But still my mind tells me
To keep my heart in place

But your eyes
Lift me up
Bring me down
Make me wish you were around
And your eyes
Make me see
Make me blind
Make me miss you all the time
And your eyes
See thru me
See my soul
Make me want to lose control

Funny thing ...
Only takes just a little while
To make it feel like such a trial
And funny thing ...
When we're together it's ok
And we know just how we feel
And we don't have to wonder if it's real
But still my mind tells me
To keep my heart in place

Hold on ... hold on ... hold on

And your eyes
Hold the key to the door
That I never saw before
And your eyes
Make me stand
Make me fall
Make me wonder at it all
And your eyes
Make me wish
Make me wait
Make me hope that you can hold on

Hold on ... hold on ... hold on

Ty's solo stuff remind me sooooo much of the first two Bob Mould Solo Albums. Just a kick in your face emotionally.

I'm emotionally void, so that would explain my laissez-faire attitude towards his music.

I saw that album at my local shop and she wanted big bucks for it. I went home and researched the band, and saw the musicians and got pretty excited; then I checked the availability and they are all over the Bay for $5 or so. I then went to youtube and realized why there are so many copies and so cheap. I hope you like it, brother.

I'm gonna have to track down that Bonnet album. He's got some other good tunes on it; and some really great musicians like J. Lord and Cozy P. Thanks, Boris.

Here's a good one. I don't have a copy, but I listen every so often on YT.



Kind of reminds me of Bon Jovi fronted by Bob Seger. Haha.

And here's one for the unfinished list: John Sykes! This long-delayed album should be hitting the market this summer, I guess. The track sounds far from final mix. It's absolutely heavy and sort of mesmerizing, but dense with studio-oddities and overlength. Still looking forward to when this is finally released.

I like the first Kotipelto (Stratovarius lead singer) CD Waiting for the Dawn. It has Michael Romeo, Roland Grapow on guitar, Mirka Rantanen from Thunderstone on drums, Jari Kainulainen of Stratovarius on bass and Janne Warman from Children of Bodom on keyboards.




And of course cover art by Derek Riggs.

I saw this one a few months ago at a record shop in Greece. I ended up buying kotipelto's Coldness instead. Both are solid releases.
