| Live they were just a classic, hard rock band! Totally '70's, early '80's vibe. They even played a Gary Moore song as a tribute right after he died. John is such an underated player, coming from the Thin Lizzy school of guitar-playing. _________________  |

I understand what you mean. But you must also not forget that Malmsteen and Norum comes from the same background, with the same influences. They are contemporaries. So I'm not sure Yngwie inluenced Norum all that much, they just come from the same school of guitar-playing._________________ |

I think it is because I heard Yngwie waaaay before Norum that I forget that they are contemporaries. In the part of the US I lived in, we didn't hear about Europe until after The Final Countdown album came out. |
