Adrian Smith

Is this an interview that took place a while ago (although published now)? I'm confused because in other interviews, Adrian has stated very clearly that there will be a third Smith/Kotzen album, but now he seems unsure and is avoiding the question.
Maybe change of plans, or no record deal? Kotzen might be focusing on The winery dogs or something:confused:
 
According to this link, there is a digital version of the expanded album available:


Yeah I had a look at that, the Smith/Kotzen site has the regular album and is sold out, Amazon has the regular album, and EMP only has the vinyl. The rest are streaming links.
 
Interesting that they are doing Wasted Years again, despite Maiden playing it currently.

Also, it seems like it's a different set of guitars for Adrian this time. This looks like the #2 green Jackson. In the background, it seems there is the LP Custom, a white Jackson and possibly one of the Lados.

LP Custom is used on Scars and White Noise. And the pickguard has been reinstalled. Seems to be the primary drop D guitar. The black LP Classic also seems to be on the road.

Yes, we can't escape from it, no surprises in the 16 songs set (with two singers). I thought they wouldn't want to play cover songs now with 2 albums.
7 new songs, the expected ones. The first 3 songs are an effective start of the show (one of choruses is not lively live, like White Noise one; interestingly, not the album order). The extended harmony at the end of Scars is a great idea. The new songs work well enough live.

I guess the new Lado being made for Maiden will replace one of the old two, if true. Adrian is a bit ''adventurous'' with the set of guitars for SK this time, will he use all is the question.

Like with Maiden, right. Classic guitar.
Wasted Years again ,it`s on Youtube now.

This slightly different and slower version of Wasted is always odd to me, Adrian prefers it that way.

Or they just don't want to rush it.

Adrian with a cool pure rock improvisation for White Noise solo, I bet he really enjoyed it (echos of TNOTB solo). I want to hear his live version of the Black Light solo.
