BCC ~ Afterglow ~ arrives Oct 30 2012

Quote from Forever Young

I have to vehemently disagree with you about Joe though. I've seen him live 8 times now and he is spectacular! He is also a damned good songwriter in his own right and certainly played a big role on both albums. He has two songs on BCC 2, Hadrian's Wall and Ordinary Son so I don't see that either.

I saw BCC twice and I saw Joe only on a couple of dvds.

IMHO I think Joe is feeling better at place during his solo tours.
That music suits him better.
The best part of Joe during the BCC shows was when he played the Ballad Of John Henry.
Glenn shines during his solo shows, but also with BCC.
Joe however was mostly remembered by changing guitars all the time.
His guitarwork for me wasn't that remarkable, only during John Henry.

But each his own.

Thanx for the song information David. I'm looking very forward to this album. A pity that this seems to be the last (for now). BCC is such a good band. For me it's the best that GLENN has done since Seventh Star. Good songs and great live shows. For now Afterglow is the completing of the trilogy: But I hope that maybe in the future, the band can have a restart and will record BCC 4

I hope Afterglow is more like the 1st LP. The 2nd took a little time to grow on me - love it now; but from the very 1st listen of the debut LP, it grabbed my by the throat and I couldn't put it down.

Need more promotion?

Makes me wish I still had my Miata.

An 'Afterglow' interview with Glenn earlier today in London with Pete Feenstra

I discovered this interview today when I was listening to Re-Machined. Stopped the cd and listened to the interview. I got a lump in my throat, Glenn doesn't look happy at all. Like Yvonne said before: what a heavy mission to advertise an album of a band that's probably history. I wouldn't like to be in his shoes on this mission...

Chin up, Glenn, you are sad, fans are sad, but if it's the way it goes it might as well be the chance for something new and even better! Get Jason, maybe Luis (or Steve Vai) and Derek or Arlan and start a new and heavy Funkrock band with lots of whambam but also soul! (My dream...)

Glenn recently at a Berlin radio station. Interview will hopefully follow soon
Heidi, you should listen to Rocklabor today at 6 p.m.

Did Glenn say that Jason is doing something with Led Zeppelin?

LZ Experience, jerklund. A tribute project.

Classic Rock Oct 2012 has Cry Freedom on the Heavy Rotation playlist with this to say about the track:

Glenn Hughes may be hinting that all isnt necessarily rosy in the BCC garden, but this funk-tinged hard rocker from the third album Afterglow finds him and Joe Bonamassa trading vocals like there's no tomorrow And is it just us, or does it doff its cap to Deep Purple's Stormbringer era?

Quote from David

...from what I can gather... they'll be a "Limited Edition" CD/DVD in addition to a 'regular' CD/DVD release... plus of course, a Vinyl LP.

I wish the Vinyl will include the DVD as well. Any info on that, David?

For my fellow countrymen: A really nice in-depth interview with Glenn on musicheadquarter.de, conducted in Köln/Cologne last week.

Quote

I have a wonderful wife, who takes care of me and organizes my life. Not my art but all those little details around it. Everybody should have a partner like that in his life.

How do you think the other BCC members would characterize you?

Eccentric. Friendly, I think. Affectionate, I hope.

Damn...too late. I wasn't at home anyhow (outside Berlin trying to watch and photograph cranes)...but I also hope the interview will follow soon!

Quote from David

Rather insightful snippet from an interview with Joe Bonamassa in the September 2012 issue of Australian Rhythms magazine, talking about how he wanted to return to the blues for his most recent solo album - so it tells you where his head is at!

So from here, it's sounding like what Joe wants, Joe gets...

Thanks a lot for this interview snippet. In fact it doesn't surprise me. It's not the first time that JB acts very childish in public. When he wasn't nominated for a Grammy this year he went mad on twitter. He was swearing and cursing the responsibles that I thought I don't trust my eyes when I was reading his tweets.

Maybe sometimes a bit less guitar playing and a bit more socializing would help the human JB to become a grown up and responsible person who thinks first before he makes some statements in public. And who realizes that the world doesn't turn around him but he can turn with the world if he wants to. I always liked Joe (and still do) and I also like his albums. But he should really ask himself if getting a number 1 hit (his dream) and becoming more and more famous as a solo artist is worth more than anything else on this planet.
Ambitions are great but they can also be dangerous when they start to controll you instead of the other way round.

Then again: if he's not happy with R&R any more and wants to stay with his Blues nobody should force him to go on with BCC. Well, at least I wouldn't like it. As sad as I am but meanwhile I've made my peace with the possible end of BCC and hope that Glenn will get a real nice new band together. Good musicians and good human beings. Buddies, mates or - as he already mentioned - a new and exciting brotherhood!

May I bet a penny that at least Jason will be with him in future?
