> awesome music, doesn't sound very 70s to me, ..... the only thing is to get the drummer to put a shirt on...
Shirt on: not going to happen. Drummer is obviously too proud of his tattoos... there's even Dio's Holy Diver cover art in arm.
70's prog rock is one of my major influences (someones say it's too long tunes, too many parts that do not fit together) but copying 70's sounds as exactly as possible is not my goal. I just use sounds that sound good and meaningful to me.
