Please tell me Tony Martin is involved

Quote from JohnH

Glenn's done with hard rock too.

John

hmmm I'm not sure if Glenn's done with hard rock if Iommi gives him a call again

Many hardcore Thin Lizzy fans do not consider this as Thin Lizzy. I myself do not really bother if they go out as Thin Lizzy or not. I have been a Sykes fan for ages. I was happy to see him play for the first time in 1999. It was kinda cult to see him since John Sykes was only 'big' in Japan and never made the press outside Japan, or playing a live show for that matter. As far as I know all of his solo albums are released Japan only. Fast foward 10 years. Sykes hasn't done anything in those ten years. No new music, no new solo efforts. The Thin Lizzy thing is still going on and it hasnt changed since (besides a few line up changes and a 'new' song or two in the setlist) If I could choose I rather have the solo Sykes back instead of these concert runs. But I guess the Lizzy thing makes him a lot more money than being big in Japan.

aparently, the new album is almost ready to be released. you can hear parts of every song on pauls myspace site, or the paul+ queen page i forget which. also .....,

Wasn't the new album already out? I thought I saw the cd in a music store two weeks ago ... I could have been wrong though.

Again?? Just for the tour or what?

I just loved the combination of JJ and Luis.

Nice theater! Kinda weird idea seeing a rock concert while sitting in your seat

Thanks for posting the pix, David.

Quote from Grace

Now don't laugh.......even more.
Anybody ever hear of Joe Stump?
Honest; that's the guy's name.

I bought a CD because the album cover said that he was
the world's greatest guitar shredder. I don't know if a
gazillion notes a minute qualifies, but this guy is it.
But you have to look at the list of song titles to recognize
something as familiar as "Happy Birthday" because........

........as the Emperor of Austria, Joseph II, said to Mozart,
(in the movie "Amedeus") after listening to a new opera,
"There are just too many notes."

Does that make somebody a great guitarist?
Don't ask me. But he probably....IS....the fastest.

Hi Grace, I saw Joe Stump half a year ago in a small club here in Den Haag, The Netherlands. A marvellous hard rock guitar player and fast indeed. I bought his cd on the spot. He's a huge Backmore fan bytheway. He even played a few Rainbow/Purple tunes. I love to see him making an album with a famous singer....

My top 5 guitar players....

1. Tony Iommi
2. Blackmore
3. Vinnie Vincent
3. Yngwie
4. Page
5. Ace Frehley

Quote from wolfysmith

Has Blackmore even been on it? No

actually he was Wolfy but I understand your point. But as Purple fans we have a lot to look foward to regarding published material with the next being the long awaited definitive Deep Purple diary 1968 - 1976 by Nigel Young

Holy Tony! My second fave singer of all time.... well actually I got several second fave singers like Mark Boals, (classic) Coverdale and Ronnie Dio. Hell I even like King Diamond

Anyways this is very good news. I hope some of you will support his and buy this release.

Good news!

Most of us think the same on this matter, but I was surprised to see a completely new audience at one of his shows several years ago. I was kinda funny to see the long faces of hardcore Rainbow/Purple fans in the back of the venue. The fact the no beer was allowed to be sold during the show made it even worst for some. But like said I was surprised by the new audience. All in traditional middle-ages clothers. Clapping and dancing during those crazy folk songs. I bet most of them never even heard of Purple or Rainbow. Ritchie is surrounded by people and audiences who will safely keep him away from making the music again we all love ....

I gave up hope many years ago ....

a new one to hunt down!

Thanks everyone! I've been away some time from the board. It's a hectic in my life now but I still check the board now and then. I'll be back...soon

Excellent setlist! Thanks for sharing!

WHAT IS A WOMANS ROLE

Though I also like the idea of hearing a live version of the previously mentioned 'I'm not your slave' and 'Courageous'

Thanks for sharing the setlist martial. Sounds like you had a magical night!

Have a wonderful day!

Martin's books are great! I've got teh Sabbath and Priest ones. I can recommend these to anyone who has interest in these band.

I wish he did a Purple book...maybe something for the future...:)

wow...that was a nice tread ...

Its a shame music like this isnt made anymore these days....

EXCELLENT photos thanks a lot for sharing!

Well it's always cool to have a 'new' cd in the GH section of my cd collection...

Would be nice though if this release has different artwork than the DVD design
