Paris Of Troy

Bob Katsionis，或許你真的不熟悉！但是這位響噹噹的大師,是你絕對不容錯過的！這是一位來自希臘的鍵盤大師，吉他大師，鍵盤是他的生命！深受前夢劇院鍵盤手 Kevin Moore, Jens Johansson 和鍵盤傳奇人物 Keith Emerson(The Nice, ELP)的影響，曾經為了爭取更多參與樂團演出機會，全心苦練即興演出能力，Bob Katsionis至今已成為希臘最佳鍵盤手之一。 Bob Katsionis特地研習古典管風琴的演奏(含有腳鍵盤)、現代爵士樂、音樂理論、古典樂的和聲進行、西洋音樂史等課程，已經取得音樂學士學位的BOB認為，學習這些音樂課程，提昇了他對音樂的看法，並且幫助他能夠更深一層的去解讀音樂和分析音樂，演奏對他來説，再也不只是追求速彈和花俏的即興而已。Firewind的當家鍵盤就是Bob Katsionis，還有Imaginery，還有解散的Nightfall等等超過15支樂隊都有他的身影！ Babis "Bob" Katsionis (Greek: Μπάμπης Κατσιώνης), born on February 17, 1977 in Athens, Greece, is the keyboard player for the heavy metal/power metal band Firewind. Bob has appeared in various small-time bands over the years (most of them projects he developed himself) before gaining more recognition with the likes of Firewind and Imaginery. He started playing keyboards when he was 10 years old and 4 years later began learning guitar. Bob cites Kevin Moore, Jens Johansson and Keith Emerson as his main keyboard influences. As well as playing keyboards, Bob is also a seven string guitar player and has played both instruments in his various bands - when Firewind play live he performs in a dual role as keyboard player or rhythm guitarist (or both), depending on the individual song. He uses a standard six string guitar in these circumstances. Bob also has an instrumental solo project - so far two albums have been released. The style of music is jazzy neo-classical/progressive metal.
