Bärenstark!
A SAVATAGE live album recorded on June 29, 1990 at the Palace in Los Angeles, California during the "Gutter Ballet" tour will be coming out "soon", according to the band's founding singer Jon Oliva. The effort was recorded by SAVATAGE's then-touring lineup consisting of Jon on lead vocals and piano, his late brother Criss Oliva on lead guitar, Chris Caffery on guitar, Johnny Lee Middleton on bass and Steve "Doc" Wacholz on drums.
Jon broke the news of the live album's impending arrival in a social media post on Monday (January 26). He wrote: "The triple live album with Criss is being turned over to the record company this Monday, the 26th, and it will be coming out soon. This is live from the Palace in Los Angeles on the 'Gutter Ballet' tour, and in my opinion, it's one of the best shows we ever did. Criss and I were absolutely on fire that night — his playing was incredible, my singing was strong, and yeah… I was pretty funny too. We've remixed and mastered the entire show, and it sounds absolutely amazing. The song list is fantastic, and the energy from that night really comes through. This is truly a must-have for every real SAVATAGE fan. I can't wait for you all to hear it."
And Malcolm said, 'We haven't got enough songs. What are we gonna do?' And I said, 'Well, look, I'll make up some names of songs, and I'll just announce them during the set. We'll do the ones we know. Then I'll just announce a name.' I said, 'You just start jamming, and I'll make the song up on the spot.' I used to do that when I was a kid. I said, 'I can make songs up right now if you want me to.' It's just something I could always do, just make up a song quickly, and it just happens. So I said, 'I'll just announce the titles and you just start jamming something and I'll sing the song.' So that's what we did."
... offenbar ist „Wish You Were Here“ auch eines dieser Alben, das quasi aus Versehen, zu einem, wenn nicht dem besten Album der Band geworden ist. Toningenieur Brian Humphries berichtete in einem Interview, dass die Musiker anfangs völlig planlos im Studio herumsaßen, quatschten, Darts spielten und sich betranken, bis schließlich mit einem Mal alles wie von selbst ging.
... they started doing hundreds of interviews saying, 'Well, this time, we're putting guards in front of the door to keep Desmond Child out,'"

Vivian Campbell on Dio, Phil Lynott and bis early days. And a little bit Ozzy.
"I had, a long time ago, with Ronnie James Dio, a conversation, and he said to me, 'Udo, normally it makes no sense to make new albums. We always play the same stuff that they wanna hear. But we are entertaining people. And give the people what they want.' And that's also why we said, 'Okay, then we do DIRKSCHNEIDER again [playing only ACCEPT songs]."

Puh, alles Gute! Mit (bald) 80 wird es nicht einfacher ...
"The best thing about starting with Marcel and meeting him during the Yngwie era was that he was not close-minded; however, musically, he wasn't really into R&B, soul, or anything outside the rock genre. My influences, combined with what we listened to while writing and touring, opened his musical encyclopedia in terms of what he wanted to do. You could hear that in future songs. By the time we got to the 'Humanimal' album, we had already done 'Colour My XTC', which was funky, and that wasn't the TALISMAN sound we had when we started. You could hear the evolution from that point."
It doesn't have to have a chorus. It doesn't have to have a bridge. It doesn't have to have a verse. It doesn't have to have anything except what we believe in our hearts should be in a musical statement.
KI, spannendes Thema, angenehme Plauderei
Alles kostet nun das dreifache beim Touren ...
Ein letztes Mal. Schön, dass es mit Bill Ward ist.
