I don't post a lot of covers of songs because the original is almost always better in my opinion. But I heard this cover of a Twisted Sister song and thought his voice was spectacular. This is Tommy Johansson singing a Twisted Sister song. I've never heard him sing before. I'll have to look him up now because his voice is amazing.
He does indeed have quite a voice. Powerful - and clear.
ReplyDeleteI love his voice.
DeleteHi, Mary!
ReplyDeleteThe power and grandeur of 1980s/90s hard rock and metal are being given new life in 21st century Sweden. Many Swedish bands have emerged in the last twenty years to authentically perform anthems of melodic power metal, Sunset Strip sleaze and related genres. Tommy Johansson is one of the leading musicians and singers of the movement. He has performed with a good number of bands and is also a self-contained one-man-band. I read that he was influenced to get into rock at age 15 when he was introduced to Skid Row's "18 And Life" and the bands Helloween and Stratovarius. No doubt about it - Tommy's got the look, the sound and the spirit.
Just a reminder that I will be very late getting here tomorrow for your neighborhood update because I need to drive a family member to the airport first thing. I won't forget you. Have a wonderful weekend, dear friend Mary!
I saw that you were going to the airport tomorrow on your blog too. Have a safe trip.
