I can think of little better than William Shatner doing prog. His album "The Transformed Man" remains one of my favorites. P.S. Holy cow! Manuel Gottsching and Dave Davies are on there too! This is going to be amazing! Edited by thellama73 - April 14 2011 at 21:59

My head starts to hurt whenever I try to imagine how this record will sound.

What my brain cannot process is the combination Shatner + Froese....
This should be really interesting

That is kind of awesome and unexpected. "Has Been" was a really fantastic album. Shatner is really great at surrounding himself with talented people and bouncing ideas off of them.
And it's not as if prog is a new territory for him. He played with Adrian Belew on his previous album.

Carmine Appice of Vanilla Fudge and Cactus on drums too! And Michael Schenker of UFO on guitar. Really interesting line-up.

Anyone ever hear the old Leonard Nimoy album with the Bilbo Baggins song?

Dramatic recitations again?
Cue the "Rocket Man" vid... (youtube is blocked at work)
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.

I had no idea about this-have been a big Shatner fan for decades, and for him to team up with people like this sounds totally awesome!
