Awesome drum solo in the last link.

What do you think of the band and this type of music?

Answer 1

I am definitely a fan of all the musicians in Niacin...especially Billy Sheehan he has been one of my favorite bass players for years. As for the actual music they make in Niacin, it's okay for the most part. I mean, it gets a little boring after a few songs but there is some amazing playing in there for sure! This type of fusion music is good but I can't listen to it for long periods of time haha!!
