He took the same path I did - from metal, to progressive rock, to jazz, then classical.

Every once in a while mikael expresses himself through his brow that comes off as really intelligent to me.

@demonofthefall101 the folk band is spirogyra, the jazz band is spyro gyra

[demonofthefall101]

@chopsuey187  ; ) lol

[chopsuey187]

@demonofthefall101 Ok i'll go bury myself. :D

[demonofthefall101]

@chopsuey187 NO!!!!!!! I know there's a band called Spyro Gyra but the one Mikael is talking about is Spirogyra - they are a completely different folk band. Spyro Gyra are Jazz Fusion - Martin Cockerham (vocals/guitar) and Mark Francis originally formed Spirogyra as a duo in Bolton, Lancashire in the summer of 1967, not to be confused with a similarly-named 1980s American jazz group - Mikael says that they are English not American before he names them

[chopsuey187]

@demonofthefall101 There's nothing to LOL about,

It's Spyro Gyra, go to wikipedia and take a look. If you don't trust the deadly wikia thus take a look on other places. Anyway it's Spyro Gyra.

[demonofthefall101]

@chopsuey187 Spirogyra not spyro gyra!! lol

[ProgHead777]

Note that Mikael is talking about the English folk band Spirogyra, who have only made a few albums and are not well known, NOT the world-famous American fusion band called Spyro Gyra, who have made dozens of albums that have sold millions of copies.
