Re: Whocares

I so wish they record an entire album.

 

[Mosh]

Re: Whocares

Wow great lineup. I really hope they do an album!

Re: Whocares

Wow what a lineup ! I don't know about the HIM guy but the rest is perfect. Good to see Jason Newsted back on the studio again. And I agree, they should do an album.

Re: Whocares

That sounded great! But man, some of those guys are getting old ... just look at Gillan!

Re: Whocares

Suggestion:
If the line-up, or at least Nicko would be part of the subject name of this topic, I'm sure more people would notice this stuff.

 

[Night Prowler]

DONE!

 

[Forostar]

I am sure some more people "care" now.

 

[Unknown One]

Oh wow, now THAT is a supergroup! Can't wait for a new album (if they do release one).

Here's a video of the first song (Out Of My Mind):

It rules I want them to record a full album I'm sure it would rule too.

In other news:
You wonder why HIM guy is in this band? He's engaged to Iommi's daughter

She's into music too. Here's a video of her performing (she sings):

WOW! Metal has more romantic engagements than the Spanish series (you'll know what I mean)

I would love to see a full-length album with the "Out Of My Mind" lineup

Same here, they are both really good songs.  If they could put out an album with this quality, I would be really happy.

 

[Travis The Dragon]

2 great songs for sure! Also, I'm a huge HIM fan so I sure can't complain about Mikko being on this. He is a pretty good guitar player IMO.

 

[Night Prowler]

I'll say it again: these 2 songs rule. I would so like to see a full album. Out Of My Mind is heavier, and more Sabbat-ish. Holy Water is more folky and Purple-ish and has an awesome performance by Gillan - he sounds fantastic on this one.

 

[Forostar]

The line-up of the 2nd song (way less!) has nothing to do with the 1st.

 

[Night Prowler]

I guess the both songs were written by Ian Gillan and Tony Iommi, so all the other musicians on both songs were just session members.

 

[Forostar]

Well, you're half right (and I was wrong). Iommi played guitar on Holy Water, and he co-mixed it. He didn't write it.
