No, I'm fine - I stunned it with a thesaurus and made my escape!

Within Temptation
They toured the UK (and lots of Europe a few years ago, but I couldn't get to see them  )
And I have most of their stuff.
I just love Sharon den Adel's voice!

Their tour for the Hydra album was fantastic. They had one hell of a stage set-up[^]

Without googling and cogitating I can name two.

The obvious: Golden Earring
Probably not mentioned so far: Bots (they published also songs in German). I was once in contact with them regarding a concert. But there fee was too high.
Some of the other mentioned so far should have come to my mind when thinking longer.

As an old prog rocker, that's an easy one, but only if I maintain Focus.

... sounds like hocus pocus to me sylvia.
Incredible band, even more so for their time.

Still love their sound.

I've not listened to them in a while, but I've now added them to my spotify playlist for today.
Jan Akkerman ... the amount of time I've spent attempting to learn his guitar parts. Another sorely underrated guitarist who doesn't get the recognition deserved.
|
|
|
|
|
The key to learning Akkerman is having mastery of off time-signatures and being able to string three or four different time-signatures together in the space of eight bars. Oh, and being able to play behind the beat while doing so.

 ... in addition to you having to ignore anything you've previously learned about music structure and tonality! I could never (and still can't) get my head around how their tunes are structured, as you said, especially their time signatures. The only way I could even attempt to muddle through the guitar parts was to learn the separate parts, and string them together as a collection of riffs.
I'm listening to Moving Waves just now, shocked at how much it sounds like later period Floyd, they must have been listening to this before they made Wish You Where Here.

I suspect that there may have been ready access to recreational drugs at some point.

What! ... a band in the 70's from Amsterdam using recreation drugs  ... tell me it isn't so!

Have you come across Deeexpus[^] yet? Their lead guitarist is a mate of mine. He's also the lead guitarist in the Tygers Of Pan Tang and has just come back from a South American tour (with a stop off tour in Belgium and Holland).

I've not heard of Deeexpus, but will certainly give them a listen 
Tygers Of Pan Tang ... Love Potion No 9 Raised On Rock is the 1st song that comes to mind (nice chunky rocking intro guitar riff), they're still frequently played on Planet Rock. How many Les Pauls does you friend have? ... any time I've seen any of their pics/footage, I'm always like "Whoaa, nice gibson!"

That's funny. For years, Mickey was a Superstrat/PRS guy. They got endorsed by Vigier for a while but Mickey hated the guitar they made for him so now he's rocking out on LPs. You'll be able to hear their new album which comes out this year.

I'll need to look for some footage of them, when you mention them the Les Pauls where the 1st thing that popped into my head.
You can't beat a good Les Paul ... I was a strat guy for years, but got a Les Paul 2 years ago, and since then I've even ventured into ES335 territory ... the strats don't venture out their cases much these days.

See, no matter where I wander, I always end up coming back to strat styles. My favourite is my JEM-777 - large frets but boy does it sound great and I can abuse it however I like and it stays perfectly in tune.
