Some days I am convinced that John Norum is the best player around. I think today is one of those days. His playing, tone, vibrato, note choices and everything about his playing are mind blowing. I just listened to Shimmering Heights again and I am completely amazed by his playing.metalmaniac93":29bkqoib said:Norum is one of the best around IMO!!! He is more of a rock blues style player these days and he still is amazing!!
Good point, his style has slowly morphed. You can hear that in his playing with Europe these days. IMO I just think it's age and the guitar olympics...he's been there done that. One of my favorite all time players. Still love his and Billy White's playing on the Don Dokken solo release...only wish the songs had been better.metalmaniac93":2h6tetf6 said:Norum is one of the best around IMO!!!
