This song suffers from a severe intro violation (like 50 seconds) but eventually gets it together...either that or the chick in the bustier is so uber hawt that the music doesn't matter.

Default Not a typical duet.

I was immediately put off by the scream-o. Then spent the rest of the video wondering how that dude does not compliment her.

the rest of it reminded me a little of
Trans-Siberian Orchestra

Problem is that her voice overpowers most singers (same issue Tarja has...that's why Marco was great with her). Perhaps the second video was more to your taste?

Mort...maybe not metal enough for you? What's a metal concert without at least one song featuring a growler...

it still makes me think Trans-Siberian Orchestra
not a bad thing


you might be interested in Pure Reason Revolution


http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...6-c421cf341e2d

you can usually get their CDs for $3 used from Amazon partners plus $3 shipping and handling.

I don't like any of the videos I found for them but I like the music ok
the price is right

I like this song although it does go on a bit and I sometimes think she looks a little bit like

One last song...not from their concert but a few years old with Sharon and my favorite singer of all time...Tarja Turunen.
