Tuesday, February 25, 2003 10:35:00 AM - Symphony Songs?
Some songs mentioned for performance during the Symphony show, but not categorized into the rock, acoustic or symphonic sections, include:
Beth (Symphonic)
Great Expectations
Sure Know Something
Forever
Deuce
Strutter
Shandi
And I think it likely that Rock And Roll All Nite will appear =) Still, we'll have to wait for the full set-list and with the inclusion of a Boy Choir, maybe, just maybe, that means some Elder material is on the cards... «Post A Comment»

Thursday, February 06, 2003 10:27:53 AM - New Bruce Kulick solo album coming soon...
(From: kulick.net) Bruce Kulick, who has most recently been touring with Grand Funk Railroad, has nearly completed the work for releasing his second solo album, which will be titled "Transformer". Since stretching his abilities and style with the release of "Audio Dog", his first solo album, Bruce has continued his personal development. Songs listed for inclusion on the new album include: "Inn Of The Mountain Gods", "Jump The Shark", "Crazy", "I Can't Breathe", "Beautiful To Me", "All I Need", "It's Just My Life", "Do It Right", "Don't Tell Me Something", "Against The Grain", "Truth or Dare", and "If Love's The Answer". 4 of the albums songs will be instrumentals, while musically, one of the tracks should see an interesting style-change for the versatile Bruce. Brent Fitz drums, Curt Cuomo assists in his usual plethora of manners, and John Corabi guests on lead vocals on one track. Expect the album during the Spring (hopefully), though more tangible details will follow when available. «Post A Comment»
