Xodus Posts: 13 From: Australia	Permalink 07.10.2010 - 08:18 Xodus Posts: 13 From: Australia Wow, what horrible news. I never got to listen to Gotthard but I heard him on Ayreon's 01011001 album and I thought he was amazing. Definitely one of the best vocal performances on the album (his final line in "The Sixth Extinction" literally gave me chills the first time I heard it), and the album includes the likes of Hansi Kürsch, Daniel Gildenlöw, Tom Englund and Jørn Lande. That's a pretty talented bunch, and I thought he was right up there with them. R.I.P Loading...
