Last year he worked and toured with Per if that’s what you were looking for.
This year I’m not so sure what the guy is doing.
Right now I would guess his whatching TV...
on_a_mission said on September 26, 2004 19:11:
lol. i was more looking for info on records he’s worked on etc. But thankyou, I’m sure he probably does spend some of his time watching TV too...
Vixzter said on September 26, 2004 19:20:
He was in a band called Pray For Rain who had one album (I think, tis the only one I have anyway)
Also appeared on:
Frida’s (Abba) solo album ’Djupa Andetag’
Niklas Strömstedt’s album ’En Gång I Livet’
I know this coz I’m sad and read album credits ;)
Probably done several other appearances too.

cheers! thanks for the trouble, i take it pray for rain are a swedish band then? cos I dont think they are the ONLY ones ever to have used that band name!
Vixzter said on September 26, 2004 19:49:
Have no idea where to find Pray For Rain album, have only ever seen my copy and I can’t remember where I got it from, I have them performing on a Swedish tv show somewhere too.
Think he’s also on a Rikard Wolf album, but can’t be sure *goes to check*
Vixzter said on September 26, 2004 19:51:
I can send you a copy of Pray For Rain if you like, as far as I know it was deleted ages ago.

cover looks like that (without the autograph)
ally77 said on September 26, 2004 20:19:
Yeah the instrumental album is called “EVERGREEN” It’s good!! :)
Ferdan said on September 27, 2004 05:32:
One of his first bands, “Horizont”, has a pretty good record. Plenty of guitar (progressive) work.
But personally, I think Jonas strenght are riffs and backing guitars, for solos I preffered Micke Nord.
on_a_mission said on September 27, 2004 14:34:
micke nord’s solos are pretty excessive and cheesy, but still technically good (see CBB live video and cringe at harleys and indians!)
Jonas is a technically better guitar player, he’s more versatile and he can REALLY solo. sometimes his licks are so fast its not even worth watching. I used to play guitar quite seriously, but copying jonas to any great extent is too hard. Tears of frustration!
@ferdan, any more info on horizont appreciated!
Ferdan said on September 27, 2004 16:13:
Horizont - Horizont. released in 1978
CBS records. 83114
If i´m lucky I might be able to get it soon.
Jonas changed his style in Roxette, his solos became kinda boring or repetitive. But it must be normal after so many years of playing solos over so simple chord progressions.
on_a_mission said on September 27, 2004 19:44:
@ferd I’d also be interested in a copy if you find a source.
on_a_mission said on October 1, 2004 15:44:
@Vixzter, thanks for the pray for rain album! got it today.
ally77 said on September 26, 2004 13:06:
Ain’t a clue, but I picked up a real good album of his music just instrumental on eBay the other week, really is good! :)
