Queensryche din nou la Bucuresti !

aflu ieri dintr-un flyer maximum rock. Pe 20 octombrie la Turbohalle.
dar fara Geoff Tate :( rychii s-au certat si au pastrat numele si au luat un nou vocalist -Todd La Torre-cu o voce vag asemanatoare, dar oare live cum va presta ?- cu care au scos album, intitulat...Queensryche *track by track review aici). Noua formula Queensryche a debutat pe scena festivalului Halfway Jam desfasurat in iunie 2012 in Royalton, Minnesota. Dar albumul a aparut oficial acum.

Exista si a doua trupa Queensryche, pentru ca Geoff Tate a cistigat dreptul asupra numelui, care a scos in aprilie Frequency Unknown, (F.U., get it ?), cu chitaristii Brad Gillis si K.K. Downing, re-inregistrind si 2 piese clasice, Jet City Woman si Silent Lucidity ! Deci confuzie maxima...(mersi pt lamuriri, Brushvox si Mihai:). De obicei cind se intimpla asta ambele trupe pierd (v. cazurile Marillion, Judas Priest si Iron Maiden).

Evenimentul va fi organizat de catre Promusic Events, Xlab Solutions si Maximum Rock Magazin (Producator Nelu Brindusan). S-au pus in vanzare un numar de 1.000 de bilete pentru concertul QUEENSRYCHE la urmatoarele preturi:

Steve Vai la Arenele Romane

Steve Vai si Evolution Tempo Orchestra (dirijor George Natsis)la Arenele Romane pe 25 iunie
-concertul final al turneului (inceput la Moscova, si continuat in Italia si Spania).

s-a inregistrat tot concertul pt un dvd si datorita unei ploi subite si intense, si ceva fulgere si tunete, s-a ramas in picioare pina la final, chiar dupa ce bodygurarzii reusisera sa-i alunge pe cei veniti in fata, in picioare, inpoi pe scaune. Cei mai fitosi si tematori au plecat, fanii au ramas. A cincea venire a lui Vai in Romania a fost poate cea mai speciala (Munsun knowS why ;), pentru ca artistul a dezvoltat o relatie speciala cu Romania si cu muzicienii autohtoni. Pacat ca multi au trebuit sa aleaga intre a-l mai vedea odata pe Steve (cu EVOLution Orchestra si in 2010 la Sala Polivalenta, pe 8 decembrie) si a vedea Buena Vista Orchestra (da, stiu prieteni care au ales asa).
Multumiri Anca Lupes, asteptam dvdul si dupa cum ne-a promis si Steve, see you next time !

Bobby Blue RIP

American Blues Scene is DEEPLY saddened to announce the passing of Bobby "Blue" Bland.


Bobby “Blue” Bland has passed away. He was 83. Bland was a pioneer and champion of the modern soul-blues sound. Bland, along with contemporaries B.B. King, Ray Charles, and more, fused R&B, blues and soul with a fat big band sound. His trademark voice, a wailing “squall” inspired by Reverend C.L. Franklin (Aretha’s father), was recently ranked number 44 on Rolling Stone’s 100 Greatest Singers.
Bland was born in Rosemark, Tennessee and quickly moved to Memphis, where he took up performing on Beale Street and singing with gospel groups. Bobby’s first hit, “It’s My Life Baby”, was released in 1955. In 1957, he released his smash single, ”Farther On Up The Road”, which reached #1 in the R&B charts and solidified Bobby’s 50 year career as a soul and rhythm & blues hit-maker. He continued to release a stream of hits, including “Little Boy Blue”, “Cry Cry Cry”, “Turn On Your Love Light”, “I Pity the Fool”, ”Ain’t Nothing You Can Do”, and more. Bland continued to record and tour extensively throughout the next thirty years. His 1974 single, ”Ain’t No Love in the Heart of the City”, from his Dreamer album, achieved international success. The single was sampled and remixed by rapper Jay-Z for his 2001 smash hit album, The Blueprint (mda, de WHITESNAKE sa nu ziceti nimic :(.

Bland was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 1981, and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1992. In 1997, he was awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement award.
