JORN LANDE, the man, the myth, the \u2026 legend. Is the missing word rising or fading? Here JORN is captured live at the Sweden Rock Festival in 2010. Jorn, backed by guitarists Tore Moen and Tor Erik Myre, bass player Nic Angileri and drummer Willy Bendiksen were well enough received and lauded, but what was delivered. I saw the band live at the Zaragon last year, and the track list seems familiar. The bonus material once again contains the much touted \u201cSong for Ronnie James\u201d, as expected as the \u201cMan on the Silver Mountain-infusion\u201d in closing track \u201cWar of the World\u201d. But what about the performance and the impression after a few spins?<\/p>\n
From track one, the changes to the seemingly cemented mid-pace are few. Exactly like the gig I saw. I have friends who basically worship Lande\u00b4s excellent vocals, but even they have a limit. The number of ok\u00b4s in the info sheet notes is far too many. The difference between JORN and the obvious idol RONNIE JAMES DIO (R.I.P.) is not the physical length, it\u00b4s the ability to write songs. Lande fared much better in MASTERPLAN, where that duty was not imposed on him. Back in the eighties Jorn Lande would have been playing every major venue known to man, fronting the band of some guitar magician. In 2011 the money and fame possibilities are limited, and not attached to gloomy mid-paced songs. I believe that JORN needs to revue his backing band too, to find a suitable song-writer with \u201cthat little extra\u201d. The extra on offer here comes in the shape of the cover of THIN LIZZY\u00b4s \u201cAre You Ready\u201d. But that song-writer can no longer lend a helping hand. In the meantime, alas, the perhaps finest vocalist in the modern world of hard rock is busy running for obliteration, perhaps a career as a cabaret singer or cover artist. What a waste, what a dirge, if my predictions were true. <\/p>\n
