that got me inspired and I got some of dad's old vhs Queen concert videos (yes we still own a vhs player because dad is old school) and i got to realize that Freddie Mercury was a talented pianist indeed..

who are some of your favorite rock pianists and songs perhaps?

Pete Sears played with absolutely everyone (Starship, Rod Stewart), and has a solid instructional video out. Billy Powell of Lynyrd Skynyrd had angelic riffs, and just recently passed away. When he played with Rossington Collins, it was otherworldly. Believe it or not, Heart had some powerful keyboard backing on most of their songs. Recreating the Dreamboat Annie album live, after 30 years, kept their "new" keyboardist hopping.

Queen with Paul Rogers playing with Foo Fighters was astounding. But, I digress. What was the question again? Lol

When John Paul Jones sat at the Mellotron, you were in for a pleasant ride.

Ellyllon playing for any metal band.

Abigail Williams, Winds of Plague. She's a ridiculously talented pianist and composer, she gives depth and meaning to ludicrously fast and technical metal songs.

She's also rather breathtaking herself.

I'm pretty much in love lol.
