Jens Johansson (Rainbow, Stratovarius) plays an amazing synthesizer solo on the new Star One album!

[@BakteriaGonzalez]

No editing. No nudging notes. No programming. Just pure talent!

[@dorobrojek]

It's just Jens Johansson - the part of talented Johansson family. Nothing more, nothing less😊

[@smiljanicn]

Yeeees! Master Jens! If he could share some of his knowledge on any platform, i would be first in the line to support it.True genius.

[@HenryJonesVictor]

Jens' sound is unmistakable. Glad to hear new stuff from him

[@claudevieaul1465]

Jens has an unmistakable style, really happy to see he's still active & on board again!!!

[@JoseFuentes-fn3dl]

Did he stop for awhile?

[@bankabaver4583]

@@JoseFuentes-fn3dlNo

[@SparkShredder]

This solo is such a typical Jens Johansson solo. Its like an amalgamation of all that he has done till now.❤

[@morgomor]

What a great album "The Last Viking". Thank you Arjen for inviting this genius

[@wendyharris7968]

Jens has magic in those fingers....truly amazing!

Thanks @Arjen I was waiting for that since first album of Start One. Jens solo sound amazing with his own and unique style. I hope so to see more people of the first line up back.

[@luisdasilva5070]

Awesome keyboard player, I've been following you for decades. Great to see you playing. Keep on and all the best guys

[@achillesamusic]

Can't never get enough of his sound

[@claudevieaul1465]

Same here. Not so much in your face as - for instance - Rudess, but much more sophisticated... I tried to recreate his sound some time ago, but of course you'd still need his fluid technique! 🤘😎🤘

[@achillesamusic]

@@claudevieaul1465 Actually,If you get a DX-7 emulator or the actual keyboard you can get the same sound but yea not his "style"

[@Freawulf]

Ομοίως εδώ! Μιλάμε για μουσική ιδιοφυΐα! \m/

[@dionysismaniatakosmusic]

@@achillesamusic His lead sound comes from the Roland JV-1080 (it's not a preset) + a Morley JD10 distortion pedal. DX-7 is only used as a midi controller, if I am correct. In any case, it's indeed addictive!

[@riskwise99]

He's the best. No further words needed

[@niccoloabate8519]

Best synth sound ever

[@elianaenriquez4289]

Great!! Sounds good!!🤘🤘

[@nilshult5115]

Another legend on board the Star One ship.

[@pablocuello4184]

THE YEAR OF 41 already has the most impressive solos with jens johansson and joel hoekstra, I can confirm that song will be my FAVOURITE on the album, absolutely OUSTANDING musicianship

[@pekkalaitinen8769]

AMAZING

[@SRRazielSR]

Jens is SO AMAZING. I miss seeing u in concerts. Greetings from Valencia.

Long live you, Master Johansson

[@Untrainedpilot1]

Amazing solo!

[@1shoryuken]

Freaking love Jens, can't wait to hear what he has been cooking with Stratovarius

[@CarlosOviedomusic]

Thanks Jens for inspiring me, you broke my head at 15 years old. I didn't get to be famous like you but I got to be a university degree music teacher. Greetings from Argentina masters of the keys!

[@matthewpaluch777]

I've been a HUGH fan of Jens ever since his days in Rising Force! If you can find it I recommend checking out his acoustic work on Ginger Baker's "Unseen rain" release!

[@celioazevedoofficial]

Great!

[@undisputedattitude2902]

This is crazy!!🤘⚜🔥

[@PaulEMoz]

Still my favourite keyboard player ever (although Miyako from Lovebites can rival him these days!). It's great to have him back in the Star One fold, as it was due to his inclusion on the first album that I checked it out and fell deep into the Arjen Lucassen rabbit hole!

[@Green-Lyon]

Cool! More musical geniuses the merrier! 🤘😃

[@bobbleton6517]

They keep on coming and coming, does the list of amazing guests ever end?!

[@Fullmoonlightt]

Awesome stuff! the beginning reminds me of the intro in The cage from Sonata Arctica, which he also played. This album is going to be amazing

Jens belongs to the Star One sound. As does Gary Wehrkamp. Dare I dream?

[@lemystere5345]

SY99!

[@rcmartins]

Why are all Star One albums not available on any stream??

[@leonardodutra8787]

Oh my!! It was 666 likes. Sorry to change it to 667 😁

[@Fullmoonlightt]

It's interesting how Jens sticks to the venerable Yamaha SY99 after al these years, at least he replaced the DX7, which is even older. He's kinda' like Arjen with his synths

[@ehhhhhh1885]

😃

[@latuman]

If you dont recognize Jens' sound, what are you even doing?

[@bslsk.o]

I thought it was Henrik from Sonata Arctica because it sounds like The Cage. 🥲

[@scottmcleanindeed]

@@bslsk.o That solo was actually played by Jens Johansson too! I don't think Henrik played on Winterheart's Guild.

[@achillesamusic]

You need to refresh your ears with some Stratovarius pal

[@francescopanciroli1382]

@@bslsk.o Klingenberg didn't play The Cage and can't even play the damn intro right, he always fucked it up during live shows. He is one of the worst performers ever

[@Dan27105]

I bet he wanted to mimic Twin Peaks Kyle Mc Lahlan's thumb up haha;) :)

[@1973Grejluder]

Is he Jan's son ? Jazz på Svenska.

Yes

Zo lijkt het wel steeds langer te duren voor de release.... hoe meer teasers hoe meer ik uitkijk naar de release. Bestelling is geplaatst en lijkt al weer maanden geleden 😅🤣😂🤣🤣

[@wolfdarkvoldemoort6529]

why not invite the best swedish keyboardist of neoclassical power Richard Andersson,(MAJESTIC,TIME REQUIEM,SPACE ODDYSEY),we must bring back this swedish keyboard genius
