Several years ago, I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. I want everyone to know that I am doing alright. However, I’ve always liked to be at my best when performing onstage, and sadly, at present, I find that a bit difficult.” “I am still very much involved in the background with Foreigner and remain a presence. Parkinson’s is a daily struggle; several of my friends are also dealing with the disease. The important thing is to persevere with the loving support of my family, and remind myself of the wonderful career I’ve had in music.” “I thank all the fans who have supported Foreigner throughout the years and continue to attend our concerts. Please know I appreciate your support, it always means so very much to me, especially so at this point in my life,” Mick Jones said.The post Foreigner shares previously unreleased song with Lou Gramm appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.

Blaze Bayley was born in Birmingham, England in 1963 and first achieved fame as the vocalist of Wolfsbane, band he fronted from 1984 to 1994 until he passed the audition and was invited to join Iron Maiden. He stayed in the band until Bruce Dickinson‘s return in 1999 and recorded 2 studio albums with the Heavy Metal group: “The X Factor” (1995) and “Virtual XI” (1998). In an interview with Scars and Guitars podcast (Transcribed by Ultimate Guitar), Maiden's leader, bassist and main songwriter Steve Harris said that the band owes Bayley a lot. Because he was the one who kept the band alive in the 90s. Steve Harris says Iron Maiden owes Blaze Bayley a lot "Not really, no (We didn't consider downtuning the songs for Bayley's voice). Maybe on some things in retrospect, we could have done, but no we didn't really think about it. It wasn't really till we got out and played live that we realized it was a couple of things." "The weird thing is that he was really confident when we were rehearsing, and then a couple of times on a couple of songs, we got out live, and there was maybe an issue or two here and there. But in general, he just handled it really well. It is what it is, I suppose. In retrospect, you can do all kinds of things, but Blaze helped keep the band alive through that period, so we owe him a lot," Steve Harris said. How was Blaze Bayley's audition to join Iron Maiden Iron Maiden singer from 1994 to 1999, Blaze Bayley recalled in an interview with The ’80s Glam Metalcast his audition to join the band. Bayley recorded 2 studio albums with the Heavy Metal group: “The X Factor” (1995) and “Virtual XI” (1998). Blaze recalled that some time before Bruce Dickinson left the group, Wolfsbane, Bayley’s band was Maiden’s opening act on tour and they had the CD of his group, which he thinks was a good point in his favor, since they already knew him. “I think what happened was, they held a lot of auditions, they had a lot of tapes in, they already had my CDs, so I asked for an audition, and I got it.” “And I really thought they would be going for someone that sounded like Bruce, with a lot of great singers out there – Bruce Dickinson, incredibly influential in the world of metal, so a lot of people that sounded or were heavily influenced by Bruce.” “But they went for something different. I don’t know why but I think they chose me because I was different, and that started something in the band, it was the beginning of the progressive era of Iron Maiden when we did [1995’s] ‘The X Factor.’ He continued: “I was shocked. My voice was so different, I thought, ‘I’ll never get this spot, what am I going to do?’ It’s an audition of 10 songs that were all in the set like ‘Fear of the Dark,’ ‘The Trooper,’ ‘Hallowed be thy Name,’ ‘Wrathchild.'” “And I thought, ‘You know what? For an hour, I’m in Iron Maiden. I’m the lead singer of Iron Maiden.’ And that’s how I approached the audition. I thought, ‘There’s nothing else I can do now. No more preparation, it’s over. If I mess up, that’s it, I mess up, there’s no way around it.’ So I thought, ‘You know what? I’m just going to be the singer of Iron Maiden for an hour, and no one can take that away from me.'” “And I knew all the drum parts because I was a huge fan – and the guitar solos, and the arrangements – really really well, because I loved Iron Maiden. It was… I felt I did OK at the audition, and then there was a second audition where they record your voice to see how you’re going to be in the studio, which is very, very sensible.” “I said to Steve Harris at the time, ‘Will I be able to get a tape of this, me singing with the backing track of the band?’ And he said, ‘Well if you don’t get it, we’ll send you a tape of the bloke that did,’, which I thought was very harsh. A few weeks later, out of the blue, I got a phone call, ‘You’re in, come to a meeting.’ And that was it.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9yLBNa-iCQ&pp=ygUUaXJvbiBtYWlkZW4gZnV0dXJlYWw%3D The post Steve Harris says Iron Maiden owes Blaze Bayley a lot appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.

The guitarist, songwriter and singer Eric Clapton started his musical career in 1962 and in the following years became one of the most influential guitar players of England. He was part of The Yardbirds, John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers and Cream during that decade and showed that he was really a talented artist that could also sell a lot of records. But obviously, there were many other incredible players like him at the time but as he said once in an interview with Classic Rock magazine,  he didn't saw people like Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck and Mick Taylor as competitors. But there was another one he pointed out that he felt like was a competitor and devotee. The guitarist that Eric Clapton saw as a competitor and devotee in the 60s In the interview with Classic Rock, Clapton was asked if he saw names like Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, Mick Green and Mick Taylor as competitors back in the 60s. The musician explained that he didn't see them in that way and revealed that the only one he considered to be a competitor was Albert Lee. The British musician is two years older than him and started his career in 1959. Also known as "Mr. Telecaster", Lee has a praised solo career and played with names like Chris Farlowe, The Crickets, Emmylou Harris and Bill Wyman. "I didn’t see it that way (them as competitors). I didn’t see anybody as competition. Actually, the only person I was really conscious of – and in a way it was because he was really serious – was Albert Lee. Albert was playing with Chris Farlowe. And Albert to me was a very interesting guy, because he was a devotee – and he still is – of the Everly Brothers, and therefore of rockabilly. Also Jimmy Bright and Speedy West were his heroes, and that’s serious country virtuoso playing." He continued: "Those guys played with Tennessee Ernie Ford. And yet he was playing in an R&B band with a soul singer. So I found all of that really, really interesting and attractive. He just had a great touch. So if there was anyone I was really keen on then it was him. I didn’t even know about… Jeff Beck, when I left The Yardbirds, I went to see him play in a club with The Tridents, I think he was with, and it was great." "No doubt about it, he was – is – a pioneer. But it didn’t move me deep down. I didn’t like the way The Yardbirds went off, in that weird kind of pop thing that they did. It was another direction from where I wanted to go, that’s for sure,” Eric Clapton said. Clapton and Albert Lee worked together in the 70s and 80s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QNthfURk73k Lee was part of Clapton's solo band from 1978 to 1984, touring and recording. He was part of the albums: “Another Ticket” (1981) and “Money and Cigarettes” (1983). Curiously, as Lee said in a radio interview once, Clapton fired the whole band twice during that era, but he continued as part of the group. "Just five (I worked with him): '79 to '84. He fired the whole band twice. I managed to survive a couple of times. So it taught me a lesson." "I thought, 'Well, this may not last forever'. Sure enough, I got the message that he wanted to make some changes again. He was in a bad way at the time. I don't think he did very much after that for a little while. But fortunately, he's put it all back together and he's doing great now," Albert Lee said.The post The guitarist that Eric Clapton saw as a competitor in the 60s appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.
