Jan Akkerman - Focus

Post by yngwie308 » Sat Dec 15, 2007 10:54 pm

Remember this, besides the yodelling, this guy played a solid state Fender amp with various Les Pauls and a Hagstrom Swede amongst other axes, I bought Moving Waves and saw them live in London:

Hocus Pocus is a classic! I LOVE that riff.

This is a band that I've always meant to look more into. I've heard Hocus Pocus, which is an awesome song, and one other off of Moving Waves, but nothing else.
When I got to meet George Lynch, we talked guitarists, and this is one guy that he brought up. He said he saw him play one time, and the dude just smoked. George said he was so good that he made a big mistake and just made an "Oh well" face and didn't miss a beat. Said he wished he was more like that.
