Marcel Karl Jacob (January 30, 1964 – July 21, 2009) was a Swedish musician, best known as the bassist in the hard rock bands Talisman and Yngwie Malmsteen. For a brief period Marcel also played together with the band Europe. ==Biography== In 1978, Jacob formed the band Rising Force together with guitarist Yngwie Malmsteen. Three years later Jacob joined the band Force, which later changed its name to Europe, replacing John Levén, who took Jacob's place in Rising Force. During his time in Force, Jacob wrote the song "Black Journey Through My Soul" together with vocalist Joey Tempest. The song was eventually included on Europe's second album ''Wings of Tomorrow'', retitled "Scream of Anger". After spending three months in Force, Jacob traded places with John Levén again, who apparently had issues with Malmsteen. In 1985 Jacob returned to Malmsteen's band to play on the album Marching Out and parts of the following US tour. In 1987 Jacob played on the album ''Total Control'', the first solo album released by Europe guitarist John Norum. Jacob also re-used demo tracks from his pre-Yngwie band Power for several of the songs included on that album. Two years later he formed the band Talisman together with vocalist Jeff Scott Soto. Throughout the years Talisman was Jacob's major effort and the band released several studio and live albums until 2007. In 1992 Jacob played on a song with Lion's Share, "Nothing's Free", which was included on a Belgian compilation and in 1993 he was guest musician on Thomas Vikström's solo album ''If I Could Fly''. Thomas and Marcel had played together with guitar player Tommy Denander and drummer Jake Samuel (The Poodles) in the cover band Horny Strings. Later Thomas Vikström (Therion) took the lead singer role. The same year Jacob was guest musician on the album ''Something Wicked Comes'' by Billionaires Boys Club. In 1994 he played on The Johansson Brothers' self-titled album. Another band Jacob formed was Human Clay, together with Jeff Scott Soto. They recorded two albums. In 1996, Jacob played on ''Inspiration'', a cover album recorded by Yngwie J. Malmsteen. In the early 2000s Jacob studied psychology at Stockholm University for a few years. In 2005 Jacob was one of three new players to participate in the Swedish/German hard rock band Last Autumn's Dream for its second studio album, along with drummer Jamie Borger and keyboarder Thomas Lassar. They were hired to replace John Levén, Ian Haugland and Mic Michaeli, who played on the debut album. Who could not make it this time due to take part in the Europe reunion. Marcel also recorded Last Autumn's Dream five further studio albums, the latest being ''Dreamcatcher'', which was released on January 26, 2009. Jacob made his last appearance on record with the Swedish studio band Impulsia, on the album ''Expressions'' which was released on September 24, 2009 via Impulsia Music and under Riverside Records. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Marcel Jacob」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
