PFunkjazz said:

Over The Top, in some of his solo's especially.

Yea I luv that "zillion notes per microsecond" stuff!

King's X

glt said:

I heard some of their stuff..they didnt seem to be as funky as Living Colour...

glt said:

I don't hear it. King's X sounds like a 3 man band and more polished.

lilgish said:

That is such an accurate description of some of his solos...they cool and all butterum... (less can be more sometimes..)

Please keep the suggestions coming!!!

Bad Brains (Living Colour covers their song "Sailing On").

lilgish said:

Totally agree. They're more rock but I lump 'em in cuz of bass player/learder Dug Pinick. So you'd do yourself a big favor if ya check his solo albums out. Here's one



Last summer he sat in on vocals while Corey was out doing "Jesus Christ Superstar"

I'm trying to get into Sevendust cuz Lajon Witherspoon is a Corey Glover acolyte.
.

On the same show with 7dust was Nonpoint and I thought they were pretty cool
.

Haven't checked out God Forbid. They kinda "death metal"...go figger

Skindred is another on my list to check out.
They're like ragga-rap-metal.

Burzum
