艺人介绍

Planet X 应该可算是当今世界上最好的Fusion前卫乐队了，也许你们中大多数人会鄙视它没有周杰伦流行，没有Lady Gaga时尚，没有Bon jovi 好听，但我以人格保证Planet X在前卫金属和Fusion界是绝对的顶级乐队。

Planet X一开始是由Dream Theater前任键盘手 Derek Sherinian 作为个人计划组建的。1999年Derek邀请了全能型吉他大师Tony MacAlpine和世界级鼓王Virgil Donati 共同录制其第一张个人专辑《Planet X》。专辑发行后引起了较大反响，从此这个3人大师级超大牌阵容就保留了下来，但不再作为Derek的个人乐队，而是以一个前卫Fusion乐队的形式继续其音乐之路，于是就干脆以他们第一张专辑名称为该乐队命名——Planet X

Biography

by Gary Hill

Set a course for Planet X, full speed ahead. No, Planet X is not the newest sci-fi film; it is actually a progressive rock/fusion band headed by keyboardist Derek Sherinian (Kiss, Alice Cooper, Dream Theater, Platypus). Depending on how you look at it, Planet X had its origins in Sherinian's 1999 solo album by that title. Certainly, the seed of the name was there, but the musical style seemed to be also. The lineup of the group was not, however, set at that point. Drummer Virgil Donati was in place, though. According to Sherinian his goal with forming the group was to have a band that "played their instruments so fiercely, it would strike fear in the hearts of other musicians when they played." So, with that seeming declaration of musical war, he recruited Tony MacAlpine to complete the lineup. Under the Planet X moniker, the trio (accompanied by Tom Kennedy on bass) released their first album, Universe, in 2000. The band played a good number of gigs throughout the year 2001, resulting in a live release, Live from Oz, that surfaced early in 2002. That album had Dave LaRue (Steve Morse, Dixie Dregs) guesting in the role of bassist. The group has a new album due in 2002, entitled MoonBabies. The disc features both Tom Kennedy and Billy Sheehan handling bass duties on various tracks.
