A new interview with legendary heavy metal singer Ozzy Osbourne will air on Planet Rock on Monday, May 30 at 7 p.m. Ozzy talked to Nicky Horne about the upcoming 30th-anniversary reissues of Osbourne's first two albums, "Blizzard Of Ozz" and "Diary Of A Madman"; his love of touring, the ups and downs of BLACK SABBATH; his one wish that his original guitarist Randy Rhoads would still be alive. Ozzy also revealed that he will go back to basics on his new CD. "On my next album, I can assure you it's going to be back to balls to the wall," he said. "I have already been writing some stuff, [working on] some ideas with my band."
Planet Rock broadcasts on digital radio, Sky 0110, Virgin Media 924, Freesat 730, online www.planetrock.com and on iPhone.
In a recent interview with Metal Messiah Radio's "Heavy Metal Thunder" show, Ozzy stated about his planned follow-up to 2010's "Scream", "I wanna get more back down to basics with this next album.
"I haven't got a title. I've written a couple of ideas down. But I can't really give you much more information. It's not gonna take a long time, I don't think. All I can say to you is I've got a few ideas for songs, but I don't wanna say when it's going to be released because I don't know myself.
"I don't stick to a formula. I just try and experiment a lot. 'Scream' was more like a an experimental album because I didn't have a band at the time. [Guitarist] Gus [G.] came along and the guys played on the album after I'd done a lot of the work myself and my producer, Kevin Churko, in my studio."
Ozzy Osbourne's current touring drummer, Tommy Clufetos, told the "Talking Metal" podcast that early work is already underway for a follow-up to "Scream" and that he thinks Ozzy is "going to return to a classic rock band record." Clufetos added, "What he has expressed is that he wants to make it the band playing live in a room so wherever that takes us. Less technology and more amps and drums."
Ozzy recorded much of "Scream" in a studio at his home in Los Angeles with producer Kevin Churko, doing most of the writing and recording on computers. He told The Pulse Of Radio he liked working that way but wanted to do something different next time out. "At the end of the day, the end result was pretty cool, but I don't know whether I want to continue to do it that way," he said. "I like to — like the earlier albums, I'd go rehearse and jam out with the band, get some, like, vibe going, you know. I want to incorporate that and this new technology thing, next album."
Clufetos told "Talking Metal" that Ozzy and the touring band have already begun working on song ideas between shows on Ozzy's latest tour, saying, "We are already coming up with new ideas backstage, in the hotel rooms and at soundcheck and have a bunch of ideas recorded . . . time will tell what happens with them."
According to TheCourier.co.uk, an exhibition featuring rare AC/DC memorabilia will take place in Kirriemuir, Scotland this summer.
The exhibition will take place at the Gateway to the Glens Museum from July 9 — which would have been the 65th birthday of late AC/DC singer Bon Scott.
Scott was born in the town in 1946 but moved to Australia when he was six and later became the singer with AC/DC.
He died of alcohol poisoning in 1980, aged 33, after a night of heavy drinking in London.
Among the items that will be on display during the exhibition will be one of Bon Scott's jackets, which was donated by a private collector and which has never before been publicly shown.
Drum roll....
SONIC BOOM was really good and was the first step in the right direction for KISS. The newest record we are now working on at this time will show a natural progression from SONIC BOOM to KISS 2011 as you will all hear soon enough. We are allready knee deep into the new record as I write this... All's I can say is you will all be very pleased. The material is stronger and more riff oriented and very hard/heavier style.
Everyone that has heard material so far is raving about the stuff and we are too :-)
As a band we are more comfortable and have more time together under our belts now that really shows in our writing, performances etc...
We work out all the material together in rehearsals as a band before we go into the studio. It really makes for better vibes and performance overall.
4: f you could pick any three people in the world to have dinner with, who would you choose?
Jesus, Jimi Hendrix and...
Freddie Mercury
(I just said what came to mind off the cuff...)
5: The KISS Army seemed to really enjoy the early sneak peaks of the band in the studio that were posted on KISS Online, however they seem to have stopped. Will there be a return of these clips as the process continues? Are there any intentions to release a BLU RAY / DVD around the creation of the album at this early stage?
We did post another clip from Tommy just the other day. There will be more as we progress along. I have no idea what DVD or other stuff may come of it all. There will be KISSOLGY IV sometime sooner than later but not sure what all will be included in that.
But it will be good :-)
Eric Singer Live in Australia 2008
6: What was the favourite moment of your career as a drummer for KISS so far ?
The overall experience has been pretty damn good I must say. I am proud to be in such a kool band that I always dreamed of being in. There really is no other band like KISS. "Special" is not even a just enough word to describe it... :-)
7: Since putting on the make-up it would seem that you have been quite conscious of taming down your drumming to be more in the style of the 70s material. Is that something you expect to see continue into the new album? Particularly amongst the Australian KISS Army it seems that there are a number of fans who loved your work on Revenge and the KISS My Ass Downunder tour and would like to see more of your flair on studio releases.
I have always played for the "song" or band first. KISS in some ways has come full circle more back to it's roots in style musically and that is reflected in the live playing and recordings.
I never had a problem adapting to whatever is required of me. That is the sign of a seasoned musician.
Leave your personal stuff and ego at the door. Play for the music!
8: Any plans of hooking up with your buddies for any ESP shows again in Australia when you have some time off ?
ESP is a fun band that we try to do schedules permitting. We did a few shows in march in Europe this year. maybe more later in the year somewhere ? Would you have us again ?
9: What is your message to your fans in Australia ?
I really look forward to coming back down there again sooner than later. I have a special connection to Australia and feel like it is my second home in some ways. Beautiful country full of beautiful people.
Really an amazing place.
10: Lastly, of course we have to ask this one, are you aware of any plans for a return trip to Australia?
I know KISS will come there again. and Me too !
I love and miss the place dearly
Eric
Thanks very much for your time Eric and we all hope to see you soon in Australia !
Kind regards & "Peace Out"
On June 7th, Def Leppard will release their first ever live CD, Mirrorball-Live & More exclusively at Wal-Mart. It will contain live performances and an intimate 50 minute DVD that contains live backstage footage of the band on the road. Mirror Ball was recorded across the world over the course of many of the band's sold out shows, and features all the classic songs that have made them one of the most respected rock bands of the last 30 years. The CD captures the group's legendary concert experience at their best. The CD also contains three new studio tracks, "Undefeated," "It's All About Believin" and "Kings of the World."
The band also announced that they would be touring the states with a 48 city summer tour kicking off in Florida on June 15th. With more than 65 million albums sold worldwide and two prestigious Diamond Awards, Def Leppard continue to be one of the most important forces in rock music. I had a chance to catch up with Vivian Campbell to talk about the new CD and upcoming tour before he headed to Dublin for a series of festival shows.
Robert Cavuoto: Tell me about how Mirror Ball came to be and about doing a live CD versus a studio album?
Vivian Campbell: We never really made a conscious decision to do a live record. It's just that in the past doing a live album was very involved. You had to get a truck and you had to record basically one or two shows. There was a lot of pressure and a lot of performance anxiety. The technology is cheap now, so we basically just started recording every show over the last two tours.
As such, there was never any, "Oh, my god. We're making a live album. We better not screw up." You really forgot you were recording. It took a lot of the pressure off. I don't even think that we started to do it with the viewpoint of making a live CD. We just wanted to archive our performances. So this was recorded over multiple shows in 2008 and 2009 and we just cherry-picked the best performances.
We decided to take some time off at the end of the last tour. Joe Elliott became a daddy for the first time and Rick Allen's wife was expecting. So it was a whole thing and we just wanted some personal time. The idea of doing a live album freed us up a lot more and there was less pressure than doing a studio album. Other than that, Def Leppard's basically been inactive other than Joe Elliott sitting in the studio sorting through this stuff, which basically was the biggest chore.
Robert: Tell me about the three new studio tracks on Mirror Ball and who wrote them?
Vivian Campbell: The idea of doing the three songs came late in the project. Our management said it would add more value to the package if we had some new studio tracks. So it was kind of a scramble, particularly on my end. I actually wrote a song for it but didn't have it ready in time. Hopefully it will make it on our next studio album. Joe wrote the song, "Undefeated," really, really quick. In my opinion, that's the most Leppard-sounding of the three. It's a great song. Joe just has a knack for writing Def Leppard songs.
The other two songs I guess had been in the works. Phil Collen had written "It's All About Believing" with a producer/writer friend of his called C.J. Vanston. They had written it over a year ago. And Rick Savage had been working for quite some time on "The Kings of the World," which is very, very complex. It's basically Sav paying homage to his favorite band ever, Queen, but that all came about at the 11th hour.
Robert: I understand that the CD will be a Walmart exclusive. That can really have its pros and its cons, like with AC/DC, it worked out very well, whereas with KISS, it didn't work well and maybe prevented them from going Top 10. What was the decision to do this Walmart exclusive and was there any apprehension involved?
Vivian Campbell: We had done deals in the past where we sold a certain amount of records through Walmart. So we had a little bit of experience with it. Our manager had a lot of experience with having dealt with big box retailers with the other acts he manages. So we basically followed the advice of our management. We were no longer working with a major label, Songs from the Sparkle Lounge was our last record for our label which the band had been with for 30 years and we needed to find some outlets.
Like it or dislike it, it kind of is the nature of the beast now. There is no bricks and mortar industry for music anymore. It's Walmart and Best Buy and Target and places like that. Those are the places where people are most likely to buy physical CDs. The business has just been in a tremendous amount of flux and you've got to adapt. What's working this year is not necessarily gonna be do-able in a year or two from now. It is what it is.
Robert: I saw that Mirror Ball would also be released on iTunes. Def Leppard, like AC/DC, were holdouts on iTunes –what is the story behind that?
Vivian Campbell: We weren't on iTunes because there were some reporting discrepancies with the aforementioned record label. The band's original contract from that late '70s predates the technology. There was never a provision in the contract for digital royalties. Our label was not accounting to us.
They were selling on iTunes, so we had to pull down most of our catalog off iTunes while we audited the label and went through the whole legal hassle of that. Now I'm glad to say we've got that all resolved. We eventually want to make our entire catalog available on iTunes.
Robert: Def Leppard has such an extensive catalog of songs to choose from, when you are heading out on tour this summer how do you pick the set list?
Vivian Campbell: The set list kind of picks itself. There's a bit of a double-edged sword, having a really strong catalog. People expect the hits, particularly in America and particularly with the nature of the concert industry nowadays, insofar as when we package with other acts. There's gonna be a certain percentage of the audience that is there primarily for Heart, and they're only gonna respond to the big Leppard hits. So it's not like we're going and playing to 100% Def Leppard audience.
If that was the case, we would definitely dig deeper into our catalog and play more obscure songs. We are very fortunate that we actually could play an hour and a half of bona fide Top 20 songs. The hardest thing for us is what songs not to play, and make it a little different from year to year. We try different arrangements of songs. Like with "Rocket," sometimes we do a real guitar extravaganza in the middle between Phil and I. Sometimes we do the more concise single version. We'll try and do a different album cut, like maybe "Gods of War," which we haven't played in a few years. Last tour we played "Mirror, Mirror."
The set list for America hasn't been formulated yet. I'm actually flying into Dublin tonight and we start rehearsal. We'll get to it, but my point being that the majority of the set is always gonna be the same. There are certain songs that when people come to see Def Leppard they're gonna want to hear "Photograph," "Rock of Ages," "Sugar," "Animal" and "Hysteria". All those songs are gonna be present.
Robert: When I saw you a couple of years ago, you came out on the catwalk and did a few acoustic songs. Are you going do that this tour?
Vivian Campbell: Yeah, that's a nice break. It's a good dynamic to bring it down. We really have only one acoustic song, "Two Steps Behind" so we did a hybrid version of "Bringin' on the Heartbreak," which then turns into an electric version. That always works very well. I'm sure we'll probably revisit that.
Robert: How long does it take Def Leppard to ramp up for a major tour like this?
Vivian Campbell: Not long, actually. Certainly not in terms of the band playing the songs. We're gonna play "Undefeated" this year. That'll probably consume most of our time in rehearsal working it up. We find that every successive tour, we rehearse less and less, because we're playing a lot of the same songs. Even though it's been a year and a half since we've played them, it all comes back. It's like riding a bike.
The biggest part of our tour preparation is actually the technical side for our crew. We have some different crew and some different equipment and you want to get familiar with. I know Rick Allen has a whole new drum kit for this tour, so that is the single most technical aspect of our setup is Rick's kit.
Robert: The last couple of tours you had a very similar stage setup. Is it a different looking stage this time around?
Vivian Campbell: It's not entirely dissimilar but it will be a little different. We're doing a very different video thing this time around. We're having multiple screens instead of one big one. We're hanging seven screens at different depths on the stage. Plus we have a bunch of new video content that we try to refresh each year. We don't recycle the MTV videos from the '80s or things like that.
Robert: Does the band have any pre-show rituals?
Vivian Campbell: Different people do different things. Rick Allen's a very Zen guy. You always see him meditating and burning incense. He follows a lot of Eastern philosophies, so he has his own rituals. Phil Collen's usually doing pushups. In fact, he's always doing pushups before the show. My ritual is to open a beer and sit with my guitar. Joe and Sav are still talking about football right until they hit the stage
Robert: What's your favorite aspect of touring?
Vivian Campbell: I think I can speak for us all; we consider it a real privilege to be able to do this still and it's the most exciting part of what we do. When I first picked up an instrument, it was to play live in front of people and get that instant feedback. It's much better doing that than sitting in the studio making a record.
When you're trying to write a song and you hit on something that's equally exciting, but it's a very, very different thing. The instant gratification you get from playing in front of an audience is the whole reason why we all started and that doesn't diminish over the years. With each passing year we have a greater appreciation of it, because we realize how lucky we are to be able to do this.
Robert: How did you guys get hooked up with the Celebrity Apprentice?
Vivian Campbell: I don't really know how it came about. We got a request. I guess it must have come from 7-UP or the TV show. I had never even watched it, but now, of course, I've had to watch this entire season [Laughing]. The way they edit it is so disingenuous, shall we say. They're looking for dramatic effects, but it's funny that reality television is actually not reality.
Robert: Was that whole thing where you guys were 20 minutes late hitting the stage, part of the dramatic effect?
Vivian Campbell: They told us we were onstage at 7:00 and that's when we went onstage, so I have no idea what happened in the interim, whether John Rich engineered that for TV drama or somebody else did. I really don't know. Like I say, we were totally removed from them. We just went in and did our gig. We didn't actually interact with the celebs.
According to Musictap.net, Concord Records will release a RUSH DVD with an undetermined title on September 27, most likely referring to a live DVD of RUSH's April 15 performance at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland.
RUSH's Cleveland performance of its "Time Machine" show was filmed as a tribute to the U.S. city that first played the band's music.
Cleveland is remarkable for being one of the very first U.S. cities where RUSH performed, in addition to being the first city to provide American airplay. This also marked RUSH's first live full-length filming on U.S. soil.
The "Time Machine" tour was an evening with RUSH, where the band performed its classics, gave a taste of the future and — for the first time ever — featured the "Moving Pictures" album live in its entirety.
RUSH bassist/vocalist Geddy Lee recently spoke to The Plain Dealer about the progress of the songwriting sessions for the band's upcoming 20th studio album, "Clockwork Angels", for which a release date has not yet been set.
"We've got about seven songs written," Lee said. He added, "When you hear the first two songs ['BU2B' and 'Caravan'], which we're playing live now, they definitely have a heavier sound. It's the heavier side of RUSH in the early going. But when I think of all the songs that we've written already, there's quite a lot of diversity there. I think — I hope — RUSH fans will like it. We're certainly going to work hard to make it a great record, as we always try."
Zakk Wylde's Black Label Society are still making a lot of noise these days. But some of it is quieter than others.
Wylde calls the group's new album, "The Song Remains Not the Same," the "unblackened" side of Black Label Society -- an acoustic-oriented, unplugged style set that features new renditions of songs from 2010's "Order of the Black" as well as covers of personal favorites by Black Sabbath ("Juniors Eyes") and, surprisingly, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young ("Helpless"), Simon & Garfunkel ("Bridge Over Troubled Water") and Blind Faith ("Can't Find My Way Home").
"It's another side of us that people haven't seen a lot of before," Wylde tells Billboard.com, noting that the set came about when he was "sitting behind a piano, just jamming on something, and I started singing 'Parade of the Dead' over it. We said, 'Dude, this would be a killer version of it. Why don't we just re-work all the heavy songs?' Obviously we didn't have time to do all of them, but they are completely different songs, not just mellower versions but different melodies and everything. The only thing intact is the lyric. That's the reason the title is 'The Song Remains Not the Same' -- besides the fact we love [Led] Zeppelin."
The set also features two versions of BLS's "Darkest Days," one with country singer John Rich, who Wylde first met at a Les Paul tribute concert in Nashville. "John was like, 'Zakk, man, we ought to do something some time together," Wylde recalls. "So when we ended up doing this mellow stuff, it was like, 'Why don't we call up John and see if he wants to sing on this track. We're both giving some money on it to charity, but it was a great chance to have John sing on something."
Getting to talk to some of my favorite musicians never gets tiring but it does get even more exciting when its someone I idolized as a teen. Skid Row was a big part of my high school years and I had an entire wall dedicated to these guys. I even managed at times wore a fake nose to ear chain because of bassist Rachel Bolan. When my phone rang and a voice said, "Hey Don. Its Rachel from Skid Row" I immediately wanted to go back in time and tell my 16 year old self what was going on. Getting to talk to Rachel Bolan of Skid Row recently was beyond cool. Rachel was such a cool person and he took the time out to talk to me about the good ol' days, his love of racing, the infamous nose chain and moving forward as they continue to create new music. This was a really fun interview for me and I hope y'all enjoy it just as much as I did!
Hello, this is Don.
Hey Don. Its Rachel from Skid Row.
==================================
Ok. First off let me just say this. If I would've received this phone call when I was 16, I would've either shit my pants or said, "Hey man, quit fucking with me!"
[laughs] Oh man that's too much man. That's really funny. [laughs]
==================================
Yeah, It's really cool to speak with you. I've been a fan for many years and when I was in high school, I had an entire wall devoted to Skid Row. My dad saw that picture of you with the nose chain and I remember him saying, "Oh no. Don't you get any ideas!"
[laughs] That's awesome man.
==================================
You're living in Atlanta now. How did the bassist from a New Jersey metal band end up living here?
I got divorced and I just need to get out of New Jersey. I've lived there my whole life. My family still lives up there so I go back quite a bit. At the time I was racing stock cars and go carts a lot and the plan was to actually move to Charlotte, NC because that's where I race mainly. The band started touring more and more and I just needed to be near a bigger city. I came through Atlanta and knew somebody down here. I made a lot of new friends here and bought a house and I've been here just about 10 years now.
==================================
At what point did the music bug bite you and make you realize that was your calling in life?
At a really early age. I'm the fourth out of four kids and there was always music in my house. My older sister loved all the British bands. My brother was into the more bluesy rock and my sister Joanne was into folk rock. I always love listening to music so I would just stack 45's on my parents record player and one by one they'd play. I'd stand at the top of the stairs like I was on stage and while there was nobody at the bottom of the stairs, I saw thousands and thousands of people. My parents bought me my first bass when I was about 11 and ever since I haven't stopped doing it and never looked back.
==================================
You talked about also being into racing. How did that come to play a part in your life?
My brother turned me onto racing at a young age. I used to watch him drag race down the back roads when my parents weren't around. I'd even sometimes be in the car with him and we would get killed if my parents found out about it [laughs]. He turned me onto drag racing and then onto stock car racing. When I went to my first race I thought, "Man, I really have to try this." I started out in a couple of celebrity races and then eventually into legends racing and pro challenge racing. Now I own a go-kart and I race on oval tracks when I get the chance. I have a herniated disc because of this and now I can't race for eight weeks [laughs].
==================================
Racing seems to go hand in hand with hard rock music. I know Stephen Pearcy is really into it as well. It seems like there's a lot of parallels there with racing and playing hard rock/metal.
Yeah, you get the same feeling when you're going around a track as you do when you step out onto a stage. You get the same adrenaline rush, the same feeling of confidence. It's so much fun and it really is a lot of the same feelings.
==================================
So let's go back to the beginning. I've heard so many stories that seem to vary about just how you guys got discovered. I know that Bon Jovi really gave you guys your big break but what's the story behind that?
Snake (Dave Sabo; guitarist) and Jon (Bon Jovi) grew up together and Jon was a year head of him in high school. They were friends and at one point even played together for a short time. That didn't work out but they stayed friends and made a pact saying that when one of them got signed, that person would help the other one out. Jon ended up making it huge and when Skid Row got together he endorsed it, brought it to a few people and here we are today.
==================================
In 1991 you guys released "Slave To The Grind" It was such a huge step from the debut. I couldn't believe how much heavier and darker that album was. Where did it come from?
I think it was just time. It was four years pretty much between records and four years is a lot for a guy who was 23 and then was almost 30. You learn a lot especially if you get thrown into the stuff that happened to us. Everything happened so fast. I was never home, I barely ever saw my family and I was either in a bus or a plane all the time. All of the sudden you just have all this worldly experience and you start writing about different stuff. You're a different person. "Slave To The Grind" just became a testimony of a different lifestyle and just seeing things from a different angle. There is some really dark stuff in there like "Psycho Love" and "Living On A Chain Gang." There's some editorial stuff there too like "Creepshow" that was all about Angie Bowie completely laying waste to David Bowie on all those talk shows. I'm a Bowie fan and I took it really personally and I've never met the guy [laughs]. There was just a lot
of real life experiences that came out on that record.
==================================
My favorite song on that album is "Quicksand Jesus" and I definitely got some religious tension or bouts with faith. Where was that song coming from if I may ask?
You pretty much hit the nail on the head. I grew up in a Catholic family and so did Snake. You know that good old fashioned Catholic guilt. It's just about keeping your beliefs during good times and bad times. It's so easy to not be spiritual when things are going really good and then when they go bad you start relying on whatever god you pray to to get you out of it. It's kind of saying that whatever it is you believe in, you should probably put in 100% all the time. We started writing it and war broke out in the middle east. The lyrics just started pouring out but we did not have a title for it. Snake and I used to do a lot of dirt bike riding and we knew we wanted "Jesus" in the title but we could never really settle on anything. There was a busted Jesus in Snakes mom's flower garden. The garden was there right before we took off to go riding on the trail and every time it rained the Jesus sank. We called it "Quicksand Jesus" and what
we would do is touch it for luck and then we would take off. If someone would wreck we'd say, "You forgot to touch Quicksand Jesus didn't you?" One day, we just looked at each other and said, "That's it! That's the song title!" That song was a labor of love. Snake and I never had such a tug of war on certain parts and elements of songs as much as we did with that one. That one took us a long time to write. It's cool that's your favorite song because that's my favorite Skid Row song that we ever did. I'm proud of it and I'm so glad we still do that one.
==================================
The Moscow Music Peace Festival is a piece of hard rock history. Do you remember any of it?
It was really strange. We went on during the day and we were kind of the underdogs. I think we went on 2nd which we didn't think was fair but nobody ever thinks that stuff is fair. It was really weird because they didn't know any bands except for Ozzy because Black Sabbath was so huge on the black market. Back then you couldn't even buy albums unless it was by a Russian artist. After every song that every band played the crowd would chant, "OZZY! OZZY! OZZY!' [laughs]. You don't hear that on the show or the DVD because they cut that out. It was a cool experience and everyone was pretty hammered but not all the time. Everyone did their fair share of partying but it was weird because it was communist and you had the KGB following you around everywhere you would go. We went back for the first time since then last December so I guess 20-something years and Moscow is so different now. It's basically like being in Manhattan. We had a great time
and we hope to go back again. The peace festival was cool but it seems like such a blip in my memory at this point. I went in my attic the other day and was looking for some stuff and I came across the leather jacket that they gave each of us and I was like, "My God how gaudy is this?" [laughs] It's good to have though.
==================================
The '92 "Slave To The Grind" tour was massive. Easily one of the best metal tours I have ever seen. At this point did you guys even realize that metal was heading into dark waters for a sudden demise?
When we went to Europe we were headlining and we had LA Guns and Love/Hate opening for us. Tracii Guns and I were pretty close and he goes, "Man, you're into punk and I'm into punk and I got this cassette that I want to play you. What room are you in?" He came up to my room and we played it on the tape player and it was "Nevermind" by Nirvana. I was listening to it and not wanting to like it because I knew what was inevitable at that point. I said, "You know this is going to put us out of business right?" and he says, "No way." I just said, "Man, this is the changing of the guard so appreciate everything you can from here on." [laughs] Tracii says, "But these guys are punk" and I said, "No, this isn't punk. They have punk roots but they're not punk." A couple of years later it was just over and done with pretty much. There was a lot of in fighting in the band anyways so it was about time.
==================================
Skid Row followed "Slave To The Grind" with "Subhuman Race" which I think is an awesome album. On this album I hear either a band that was experimenting and taking a chance or a band that is in complete turmoil. What was the case here?
It was complete turmoil all the time. Snake and I had a formula which was us writing and bringing songs into the band. All of the sudden that changed. Things just got completely muddled and thrown in a blender and by the time we agreed on a producer to use we went up to Vancouver to do it with Bob Rock and he changed it some more. Granted, he is a very talented man and I will never take that away from him but that record just went in such an opposite direction than I saw it going and I just wasn't crazy about it. We do a couple of songs off that one in our show, the ones that stick out. It was really the beginning of the end. We did a small tour in the states, a small tour in Europe and then went to South America. That was it. We were done. After we came back from South America I remember us looking at each other and going in five different directions and getting in five different cars to go home.
==================================
The band had such awesome chemistry on stage with that line up. Was Sebastian just getting a bad case of lead singer's disease or something that made him hard to deal with?
Absolutely. The reason why it was so hard to do it at the end was because we had been doing it for so many years. After a while it just wasn't fun anymore.
==================================
Fans of the band have always stated their want for a Skid Row reunion with the Sebastian and Rob. Is this something that will ever happen?
I can't see that happening and I think I can speak for Scotti (Hill; guitarist) and Snake that they couldn't see it happening either.
==================================
You guys ended up picking Johnny Solinger to front the band when you reformed. He must be doing something right as he's been in the band for over 10 years. How does working with him compare to your former singer?
It's easy. Johnny is a very easy going guy. Snake and I are good at seeing other people's strengths and while he contribute some things to some songs he just says, "Look, I'm the singer and you're the songwriters. I'll sing and you song write." He's got a great feel for stuff like that. A great skill for when we bring new stuff to him and he'll say, "You know what? Can I try this to your melody?" and it's never a tug of war. It's like friends getting together and it's great working with him. He's got great pipes and he takes care of them. Once he gets off stage he likes to disappear because talking a lot kind of freaks him out but he's a good guy. He's a good person, a good dad and like you said, he's been in the band 11 years so he's got to be doing something right.
==================================
I find it really awesome that Skid Row is still putting out new music. Why do this as opposed to taking the "nostalgic" route and just milking your old songs?
We're musicians, we're songwriters and we're creative people so to constantly do the old stuff and just the old stuff just wouldn't be any fun. It would just get boring after a while. We write songs and we record them. We have a pile of them now that Snake and I wrote that we'll demo when the guys are into to do the Wild Bill's show so we're just going to keep stockpiling them and when we're ready we'll put out another record.
==================================
So I'll be honest, I didn't pick up any of the newer Skid Row albums because I was holding on too tight to the nostalgic past. I ended picking up "Revolutions Per Minute" because of this interview and I absolutely loved it. You guys sound like you were having so much fun and the songs are inspired and full of life. Was this a common reaction to get from old Skid Row fans?
[laughs] A lot of old school Skid Row fans love "Thickskin" and absolutely hate "Revolutions Per Minute." A lot of people don't get it. If there was ever an experimental record we made it was that one. We just said, "You know, let's not do ballads on this record." We had a country song on the record. We just had fun. We got back together with Michael Wagner (producer) who's always been a friend since the early days. We hadn't done a record with him in years and it was blast. We just had fun doing it. We knew that people were either going to like it a lot or absolutely hate it and that's been the reaction [laughs].
==================================
If you had to convince an old Skid Row fan like me why he/she should give the new music a try, what would you say?
I would say that if you're a fan of the band then you're a fan of the band. I didn't turn my back on AC/DC when Brian Johnson started singing. I didn't turn my back on when Bruce Dickinson started singing. I could go on an on with Judas Priest, Van Halen, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, bands like that who had a bunch of different singers. If you love a band you have to at least give it a shot. You can't just sit there and say, "This guy is not in the band any more so they suck." You can't say you're a true fan of a band when you do that. That's just how I feel.
==================================
If you had to pick 5 Skid Row songs you never get tire of playing what would they be?
Hm. Quicksand Jesus, New Generation, Piece of Me, Disease and Youth Gone Wild.
==================================
Youth Gone Wild is your big hit. You've probably always gotta play that one.
Johnny always says, "No matter how old you are or how old we are, we'll always be the Youth Gone Wild." [laughs]
==================================
Will the nose chain be making a comeback any time?
[laughs] Oh it has. I bust it out every now and then. The guys have been all over me about putting it back in at some point and I thought it was done, dead and over with. I was going through a box in my attic around the same time I came across the Moscow jacket and there was a nose chain that a fan had made for me that was pretty cool. The last time we played Rocklahoma I popped it in and when I came out with it on everyone was like, "No way!" [laughs] I break it out every now and then.
==================================
Did you ever think that this would be such an iconic thing for you?
It was an old punk rock thing that I always used to see people wearing. I just wanted to wear it and cross it over a bit. The record company wanted me to get rid of it because they thought it was too extreme for the demographic they were going for. I said, "Oh, Ok." and just kept wearing it [laughs].
==================================
If you could be in a band with anyone dead or alive, who would be in it?
Man, I would love to jam with Dave Grohl. That dude is such an amazing drummer and an amazing talent. I'd love to do something with him.
==================================
If you could un-write any song in your career, what song would it be and why?
[laughs] Un write? "Here I Am." [laughs] I don't know what it is about that song but I just don't like it. I'm sure there's a couple more but that song in particular? Whew. [laughs]
==================================
What was it like the first time you saw yourself on MTV?
I've been asked this before and thinking about it, it's cool seeing yourself on MTV. Having dreamed about it so long it just seemed natural that we were on there. Seeing myself on MTV was just like, "Here I am finally!" [laughs] I had a room with all the gold records on the wall that I just got used to seeing. It didn't mean anything else to me. It could have been paint on the wall for all I knew. It wasn't until we split up and we weren't a band for a good four years that I got to sit at home and actually absorb all that we had accomplished a lot in a short amount of time. Being that young I had so much confidence and failure was not an option for me. I was going to make it. In my head I had played out that scene of me standing on stage nine billion times looking out at a huge crowd cheering for the band I was in so failure was not an option for me.
==================================
Speaking of the videos, were they fun to make?
I absolutely dreaded it [laughs]. I hated it and it was just so tedious. I don't like being in the studio either. Man, it's just so tedious doing stuff over and over again. I'll tell you what though, making the "Monkey Business" video was fun because I'm an animal lover and I got to hang out with monkeys all day, other than the monkeys that played in the video [laughs]. It was just a lot of fun. I think the Zimmerman brothers made that one. They were very fun to work with and very creative.
==================================
Rachel, you've had a great career. If you could do it all over again, is there anything you would do differently?
Yes. I'd probably stand my ground a little more on certain things but ya know what? I have absolutely no complaints and no regrets.
==================================
What can we look forward to from Skid Row in 2011?
We've been writing a lot and we're hoping to get something out at the end of the year. Every time I say that it doesn't happen though [laughs]. We're going to release something this year whether its a full album or a couple of singles. We're going to try to do things a bit different because the music industry is so different than when we first came out. We're just going to play it by ear and take it as it goes and maybe we'll pop up on a movie soundtrack or something.
==================================
Rachel, thanks so much for doing this. You really made this fan's day.
No worries bro. I'm looking forward to the Wild Bills show (in Atlanta) and I hope to see you there. You take care dude and thanks again.
Skid Row is performing at Wild Bill's here in Atlanta on June 25th as part of Wild Bill's Summer Rock Series. Atlanta bands Bigfoot and Rockets to Ruin will open the show. Tickets are $15 adv ga / $21 at the door / $25 for a seat at a table / $50-$100 vip
Global Music has set a July 4 release date for "Flying In The Face Of Logic", the first solo album from singer/songwriter Kevin Ridley; producer/vocalist with folk-metal pioneers SKYCLAD. The CD contains 14 original tracks, mainly inspired by the singer's native Northeast (England) so fittingly, it features several northern session players — notably Northumbrian pipes player Andy May, Folkworks fiddle player Sophy Ball, and BLITZKRIEG's Dave Anderson on bass — as well as contributions from the current members of SKYCLAD.
Ridley describes the record as a form of continuation from SKYCLAD's "Semblance of Normality". "'Semblance...' was the first album where all the band members involved had roots in Northern England and references were buried within the songs," he said. "It was something I wanted to explore, so 'Flying In The Face Of Logic' became autobiographical and based upon my personal stories of life, love and growing up in the Northeast of England."
After spending 35 years in the music industry, engineering and producing for thrash-metallers VENOM, FORGODSAKE, ANATHEMA, PARIAH and SKYCLAD, Kevin Ridley took the opportunity to emerge from behind the mixing desk and experience the role of a player, rather than producer.
Five years in the making, Ridley described the journey of writing the album as a challenge of learning "how to fly and make my own rules."
"Flying In The Face Of Logic" was produced by Kevin Ridley; recorded at Newcastle's Blast Studio, and mixed by Dario Mollo (GLENN HUGHES, TONY MARTIN, LACUNA COIL).
In related news, SKYCLAD has inked a deal with Global Music for the digital re-release of nearly half of the band's back catalogue. All releases from 1996 to 2006 are now available to download from all major online retailers.
* Irrational Anthems (1996)
* Oui Avant-Garde á Chance (1996)
* The Answer Machine? (1997)
* Vintage Whine (1999)
* Folkémon (2000)
* Another Fine Mess live album (2001)
* Swords of a Thousand Men Single (2001)
* Live at the Dynamo compilation/live album (2002)
* No Daylights... Nor Heel Taps Compilation/Re-Recording (2002)
* A Semblance of Normality (2004)
* Jig-a-Jig limited-edition EP (2006)
SKYCLAD was founded in 1990 by then former SABBAT vocalist Martin Walkyier and SATAN/PARIAH guitarist Steve Ramsey, their aim being to put together the "ultimate pagan metal band." Initial ideas for the band included such extravagances as traditional Robin Hood costumes, although these concepts were soon dropped. SKYCLAD are now considered one of the pioneers of folk metal.
SKYCLAD's current lineup:
Kevin Ridley (vocals, guitar)
Steve Ramsey (lead guitar, acoustic guitar and backing vocals)
Graeme "Bean" English (bass guitar, acoustic and classical guitar)
George Biddle (fiddle, keyboards and piano)
Arron Walton (drums, percussion)

It was recorded and mixed at Outer Sound Studios in Rome, Italy, by Giuseppe Orlando (NOVEMBRE) and mastered at Finnvox Studios in Helsinki, Finland, by Mika Jussila (NIGHTWISH, SONATA ARCTICA, STRATOVARIUS, EDGUY).

British thrashers ONSLAUGHT have been forced to cancel their previously announced appearances at the Metalfest festivals in Germany and Austria due to the fact that the band's lead vocalist, Sy Keeler, was diagnosed with viral laryngitis.
Commented Keeler: "First off, I'd like to say how completely gutted I am that ONSLAUGHT will not be able to make it to the Metalfests this weekend.
"I awoke on Friday feeling a little under the weather with a peculiar feeling in my upper chest and throat. Then I tried to speak and very little came out.
"Oh, dear!
"Obviously, I realized this was something new, something that I'd never experienced before.
"All us singers get a tired voice from time to time, but this was something new.
"I managed to get to see a doctor pretty quickly and I was diagnosed as having laryngitis — a viral infection, which, fortunately, leaves no long lasting effect on the voice, just a temporary inability to sing, swollen vocal cords and a general discomfort in the throat. Therefore I found myself having to tell the boys, 'Sorry, the Metalfests are off.'
"I have to rest the voice for one week minimum; I have no choice. The voice doesn't work.
"Huge apologies to the Metalfest organizers and, of course, everyone who was looking forward to witnessing ONSLAUGHT live.
"Thanks for all the 'get well soon' messages I've received so far and I'll see you all soon."
ONSLAUGHT has recruited Michael Hourihan (EXTREME NOISE TERROR, DESECRATION) to play the drums during the band's "Scream For Violence" tour, which kicked off on March 31 in Hamburg, Germany.
Former ONSLAUGHT drummer Steve Grice released a statement to BLABBERMOUTH.NET in which he blamed his decision to quit the group on "a series of events that, in [his] opinion, have seen the recurrence of old patterns of behavior that fuelled the band's original demise in 1991." He added, "This culmination of occurrences came to a head when I learned through a third party that the band had booked a series of shows without my knowledge, and with the intention of using another drummer, during a period of time reserved for family commitments. Be very clear — the temporary use of another drummer does not present me with a problem. My issue is with the fact that at no point did anyone from the band let me know that these decisions had been made." He continued, "Again in my opinion, there is a considerable gap between certain parties' view of ONSLAUGHT and the truth in terms of album sales and concert attendances. My reality, that of a father of two
approaching 50, was simply incompatible with this alternate world view."
ONSLAUGHT's "The Sound Of Violence" video can be viewed below. The band's first official clip in twenty years (the last being from the group's 1990 full-length, "In Search Of Sanity") was filmed and edited by Lukas Hambach of Bloodwork Entertainment (DESTRUCTION, GAMMA RAY) and produced by Tommy Morriello and Thosten Lütje.
"The Sound Of Violence" comes off ONSLAUGHT's fifth album, "Sounds Of Violence", which was released in January via AFM Records. The follow-up to 2007's "Killing Peace" was recorded and mixed at Hansen Studio in Ribe, Denmark with acclaimed Danish producer Jacob Hansen (RAUNCHY, MERCENARY, VOLBEAT, HEAVEN SHALL BURN)
"Jerusalem", the new album from Swedish melodic metallers ASTRAL DOORS, will be mixed by Daniel Bergstrand, who has previously worked with BEHEMOTH, MESHUGGAH, DIMMU BORGIR, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD and SOILWORK, among others.
ASTRAL DOORS previously stated that the upcoming CD will "be something special. This time around we deal with religion, and all the shit it has brought to the world, once and for all. Our intention is that the album will be released in October in connection with a European tour."
ASTRAL DOORS' "Testament Of Rock - The Best Of Astral Doors" collection was released on November 19, 2010 via Metalville, the band and label pool launched by the Cologne, Germany-based company Flying Dolphin Entertainment Group UG. The compilation contains 14 classics picked by ASTRAL DOORS. The booklet features "a two-page history-lesson about ASTRAL DOORS; a summary of the first decade with ASTRAL DOORS" written by Erik Thompson of Sweden Rock Magazine.
Guitarist Martin Haglund left ASTRAL DOORS in April 2010 in order to focus on his family life. The band has opted to remain a five-piece, with founding member Joachim Nordlund handling all guitars himself.
ASTRAL DOORS released its fifth album, "Requiem Of Time" in Europe on January 29, 2010 and in North America on February 16, 2010 through Metalville.
U.K. modern cutting-edge orchestral metal band XERATH will embark on a 14-date tour of China in the fall. The trek will kick off on October 2 in Zhang Jiang and will conclude on October 16 in Shang Hai.
Commented the group: "We're absolutely thrilled to announce a full tour of China, and would like to thank Xoundforce Entertainment for giving us this great opportunity. We can't wait to hit the stages with our blend of extreme orchestral metal and hang out and meet with Chinese metal music fans as we tour the country. We urge any fans of extreme music in China to come down and expect nothing short of an extreme, heavy and epic performance."
XERATH released its sophomore album, simply titled "II", in North America on May 3 via Candlelight Records. The follow-up to 2009's "I" is described in a press release as "a huge and fully refined slab of XERATH's unique sound from the production genius of Jacob Hansen (ABORTED, PESTILENCE, TYR, HATESPHERE) at Hansen studios [in Ribe, Denmark]. XERATH have combined the most brutal and technical elements of modern extreme metal to offer you something massive, cinematic, heavy, groovy and ultimately epic beyond compare."
"II" includes cover artwork by Colin Marks (STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, NEVERMORE, SCAR SYMMETRY). It features a guest appearance by Emil Werstler (DAATH).
XERATH's debut album was released on May 25, 2009 via Candlelight Records. The CD was mixed in France by Brett Caldas-Lima (CYNIC).
Guitarist Massimo "Massy" Fiocco of British crossover pioneers ONE MINUTE SILENCE, who are back from a seven-year hiatus and are angrier than ever, recently spoke to Sonisphere's own Sophie K about their plans for this year's event and the direction of the band's new album. You can now watch the chat below.
Returning with a contemporary and fresh new sound, ONE MINUTE SILENCE promise to once again smash musical boundaries by experimenting with new colors and textures while retaining their brutal signature groove. Vocalist Brian "Yap" Barry, guitarist Massimo "Massy" Fiocco and bassist Glen Diani are joined by new drummer Martin Davies, a virtuosic player who brings even more power and dynamics to the OMS machine.
Many will remember ONE MINUTE SILENCE for their incredible live shows. Their intensity and energy levels were arguably unmatched by any band, making them THE must see live band of the time and earning them the title "Best British Live Act" by Kerrang! magazine. OMS will explode back onto the live scene at this year's prestigious Sonisphere festival, playing alongside many top metal acts, including the so-called "Big Four" of 1980s thrash metal — METALLICA, MEGADETH, SLAYER and ANTHRAX. More major festival dates will be announced in due course.
Writing and rehearsing has been the focus for the past few months and a new album is hoped for release later this year.
Yap comments: "Initially I wasn't sure if the energy and punch that we had would still be there but when we got in the rehearsal room together there was no denying it — in fact, it's stronger than it ever was. Everything we were talking about politically and economically ten years ago has come true today and it's appalling that honest working people are now footing the bill for decades of laissez-fair economics, corrupt banking and elite corporatocracy. We're angrier than we ever were and more experienced this time with it — expect blood."
Davies comments on joining the band: "I was recommended by a friend to Glen, who lives close to me in Bradford, to work with him on his solo project and we just jelled creatively straight away. Then last year when the idea of OMS was being discussed Glen put me forward and I met the band for some rehearsals earlier this year. I'm very excited about the raw energy and creativity within the dynamic of the band — it's very current and subversive which is what I thrive on."
Yap comments on the upcoming Sonisphere performance: "Been too long. Missing the pit, missing the vibe, missing the fans. Time for round two. Unfinished business. Expect mayhem."
Cannibal Corpse is an American death-metal band from Buffalo, New York. Formed in 1988, the band has released eleven studio albums, one box set, and one live album. Throughout the years the band has been established, they have had little radio or television exposure, although a cult following began to build behind the group with the release of albums such as 1991′s Butchered at Birth and 1992′s Tomb of the Mutilated which both reached over one million in worldwide sales by 2003, including 558,929 in the United States, making them the top-selling death metal band of all time in the US, and second worldwide.
The members of Cannibal Corpse were originally inspired by thrash metal bands like Kreator, and Slayer, as well as other death metal bands such as Morbid Angel, Autopsy and Death. The band's album art (most often done by Vincent Locke) and its lyrics, which draw heavily on horror fiction and horror films, are highly controversial. At different times, several countries have banned Cannibal Corpse from performing within their borders, or have banned the sale and display of original Cannibal Corpse album covers.
We've just caught up with Cannibal Corpse bassist Alex Webster to chat about present and future. Read the interview below.
Hey guys, how life treating you?
AW: All is well here, we are busy writing our next album. We're also enjoying some time at home with our families and friends.
Its been 2 years since the release of 'Evisceration Plague'. Are you happy with how the album has been received by the fans and reviewers?
AW: Yes, it the reaction was generally very positive. I think if you put enough effort into something even the most critical ear will have to give it some credit.
You are officially the best selling death metal band of all time. Thats gotta be a great feeling?
AW: It's definitely cool. We are very grateful to our fans for making that possible. We will continue to work hard in to make music that's worth our fans' hard earned money. We are happy that we're selling well, but we want the quality of our music to be the top priority.
Last month your released a new DVD 'Global Evisceration'. For the people who haven't checked it out yet can you explain whats included and what fans can expect from this DVD.
AW: Global Evisceration is a live show/tour documentary combo. You will see our life on the road for a portion of the Evisceration Plague tour, and you'll get to see high quality footage of us performing live from two concerts filmed in the USA last year.
There have been many death metal bands since 1990 when you guys released 'Eaten Back to Life'. Some are still around today, some called it a day, and new ones are on the rise. How do you feel the death metal scene differs today to what it was back in early 1990′s?
AW: The main difference is that the genre is now fully established. In the beginning, it was brand new and still being defined. There were only a handful of bands to draw influence from when we started, now there are hundreds (even thousands) of bands in the death metal scene…new bands have a large body of work to draw inspiration from and build upon. Another difference in the scene today is that information travels much more quickly via the Internet. In the old days we all got our info by word of mouth, on the phone, or through snail mail. I remember waiting weeks for demos to arrive at my house. Now you just google a band's name and listen to the tracks they've posted online.
Who does most of lyric and music writing?
AW: Paul, Rob, and I write the lyrics. Pat, Rob, and I write most of the music. Paul has also written the music for a couple of songs.
What I have always wanted to know is, how do you guys go about naming the tracks? I have always loved the crazy titles.
AW: A lot of the time we come up with the song titles together at band practice, although sometimes a member will come up with ideas on his own at home. We try to make the titles fit the music – a fast crazy song will have a different sort of title than a slow heavy song.
Many death metal bands always state they were influenced by Cannibal Corpse. What bands inspired you during the early days?
AW: Bands like Slayer, Dark Angel, Blood Feast, Kreator, Death, Morbid Angel, Sadus, The Accused, Autopsy, Possessed, and Sodom.
When can we expect to see next studio album released? Any news or info on new material?
AW: We'll be recording in September and October, so the album should come out sometime in early 2012. The material will be death metal done the Cannibal Corpse way…no big surprises, just brutality!
What does rest of 2011 hold in terms of touring and festivals. Anything concrete you could shed some light into?
AW: There's nothing concrete at the moment but rest assured we'll be doing a huge tour in support of the next album.
While on tour, what is your favourite drink of choice?
AW: Water. Nothing will ever quench a thirst better than good old H2O.
Thanks for taking the time to do this interview for CRAVEMETAL.
AW: No problem, thanks for the interview and for the support!!!
Swedish death/black metal band GRIEF OF EMERALD will release its fourth album, "The Devils Deep", on June 3 through Non Serviam Records. The first CD to feature the group's current lineup sees GRIEF OF EMERALD "increase[ing] the power by adding some new intricate songs, boosting harmonies with haunting keyboards, tight double-bass drumming, backed by a massive guitar sound and haunting vocals, plus superb packaging," according to a press release.
Commented drummer Carl Karlsson: "After our last tour [Christ Crushing Tour with SKYFORGER, SEAR BLISS, BESTIAL MOCKERY and OBTEST], GRIEF OF EMERALD was confronted with lineup problems once again when the bass player and the guitarist left the band. The band fell into a slumber as we tried to find competent musicians to work with, some local shows were done to try out new members but not until 2008 the lineup was complete again and the plans of a new record was spawned. A demo called 'Holocaust' was made as well as some live shows around Sweden to attract record companies and after careful consideration a deal was made with Non Serviam Records."
GRIEF OF EMERALD's previous three albums — "Nightspawn" (1998), "Malformed Seed" (2000) and "Christian Termination" (2002) — were all made available through Listenable Records.

Unique Leader Records has announced the signing of the slamming, groove-oriented brutal death metal outfit KATALEPSY to a multi-album deal. The band will enter Cosmos studio later this year to begin recording a new CD for a 2012 release.
Hailing from Russia, KATALEPSY is "one of the most active and well-known death metal bands in the country today," according to a press release. "Successful previous releases, extensive shows, touring and playing numerous fests supporting well know acts has really brought the band to another level. Their catchy, pit-fueling, heavy-as-hell sound has since earned them fans from around the world who are highly anticipating a new release. In all, KATALEPSY is a great example of perfectly executed American-style slamming brutal death metal and is guaranteed to deliver to any fan of unrelenting music. KATALEPSY is definitely a band to watch out for because their unique style and approach to song writing sheds new light compared to many brutal death metal acts today."
