M&;ouml;tley Cr&;uuml;e is currently promoting &;quot;Dogs of War&;quot;‚ their new single released this week which is their first track with the new guitarist John 5‚ who replaced the band's original guitar player Mick Mars. In an interview with Outsider podcast (Transcribed by Blabbermouth)‚ the vocalist Vince Neil talked about the band's discography and said that he hates their 1997 album &;quot;Generation Swine&;quot;. Neil left the band in 1992 and the group recruited John Corabi‚ who was the singer on their self-titled album released in 1994. He was part of the band until 1997 when Neil re-joined the group during the recording of &;quot;Generation Swine&;quot;‚ which would be Corabi's second album with Cr&;uuml;e. Vince Neil talked about M&;ouml;tley Cr&;uuml;e's &;quot;Generation Swine&;quot; album‚ saying: &;quot;I hated that record. I still hate that record. (There are) no good songs on it. And I told 'em‚ I go‚ 'This record sucks.' 'No. We love it. We love it‚'&;quot; Vince Neil said. During the same conversation he explained why he returned to the band and how that happened. &;quot;Well‚ when M&;ouml;tley went out (With John Corabi)‚ their tickets stopped selling. And I was doing pretty good. But I wasn't selling out places. I was opening for guys. And so their manager called me up and said‚ 'We'd like to meet with you in New York.'&;quot; &;quot;So I flew to New York and sat there and talked to 'em.' And it took a while for me to say 'okay.' But I finally gave in and went to the recording studio where they were making 'Generation Swine'‚ which was at Nikki's (Sixx) house. And… I don't know. It was bad for a while‚ 'cause I didn't wanna be there‚&;quot; Vince Neil said. &;quot;Generation Swine&;quot; peaked at number 4 on the United States Billboard 200 at the time and John Corabi was credited on the album for his backing vocals and as rhythm guitarist. Although it performed well at the time and has a fanbase‚ the band did not feature songs from the album on their reunion tour. https://www.youtube.com/watch&;#63;v=jejYgSCSvvcThe post Vince Neil says he hates M&;ouml;tley Cr&;uuml;e’s “Generation Swine” album appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.

The guitarist Jake Kiszka (28) co-founded Greta Van Fleet in 2012 alongside his brothers Sam and Josh. During the last decade they became one of the most praised new Rock and Roll groups‚ touring with names like Metallica and playing at famous festivals all over the world. The new curious thing involving the band is that Jake announced that he has a new side project‚ which is called Mirador and his new group will be Greta's opening act during their next tour. That double bill already happened at the Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis‚ Missouri. The group is also formed by Chris Turpin of the Ida Mae duo. In the official statement on the band's social media‚ Greta Van Fleet said: &;quot;We are happy to announce that Mirador‚ a new collective consisting of our very own Jake Kiszka and Chris Turpin‚ will commence the show on the imminent spring Starcatcher World Tour dates. We're honored to watch the advent of this musical journey and hope you‚ too‚ enjoy the chorus of Mirador‚&;quot; Greta Van Fleet said. https://www.youtube.com/watch&;#63;v=78y9GUsIuYs Although it seems like it's a lot of work for Jake‚ since he will perform with Mirador as the opening act and then with Greta Van Fleet‚ according to Setlist.FM‚ the concert isn't that long. Their first show in Missouri had only five tracks.

Born in Los Angeles‚ California in 1961‚ the singer Vince Neil helped to form M&;ouml;tley Cr&;uuml;e in 1981‚ a band that would have the heaviness of Heavy Metal and the speed/attitude of Punk. They became one of the most influential bands from the 80s and sold an estimated amount of more than 100 million records worldwide. The vocalist revealed in an interview with Q104.3 (Transcribed by Blabbermouth) that in the early days of his career he wanted to emulate the Van Halen vocalist David Lee Roth. Vince Neil talked about trying to emulate David Lee Roth in the early days &;quot;That was David Lee Roth (My early influence). I always wanted to look like him. I tried to emulate him‚ even before I was in M&;ouml;tley Cr&;uuml;e. When I was just 16 years old‚ I would go and there's a place in L.A. called Long Beach Arena.&;quot; &;quot;Van Halen was playing there. I was a kid out in the parking lot listening to 'em‚ selling bootleg t-shirts. And then you hear him singing. You're thinking‚ 'God‚ I wonder what's going on backstage.' And‚ 'Wow‚ what's it like inside&;#63;' He really inspired me‚&;quot; Vince Neil said. In the 90s after leaving M&;ouml;tley Cr&;uuml;e‚ Vince Neil focused on his solo career and ended up being Van Halen's opening act. However‚ at the time David Lee Roth wasn't the band's singer for a few years. He left the band in the mid-80s‚ being replaced by Sammy Hagar. Roth curiously was invited to be M&;ouml;tley Cr&;uuml;e's opening act during their reunion tour a few years ago. But the band's bassist Nikki Sixx said that the Van Halen singer told him he didn't open for bands that were influenced by him. Cr&;uuml;e toured with many famous bands during the last years like Def Leppard‚ Alice Cooper‚ Joan Jett and Poison. https://www.youtube.com/watch&;#63;v=Ahq4blDfU5s&;pp=ygUgbW90bGV5IGNydWUgZmlyc3Qgb2ZmaWNpYWwgdmlkZW8%3DThe post Vince Neil says he wanted to be David Lee Roth in the early days appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.

The guitarist Randy Rhoads was born in Santa Monica‚ California in 1956 and started his musical career in 1972. He first achieved fame as a member of Quiet Riot‚ band he helped to form in 1975 and left in 1979 to join Ozzy Osbourne's band. After recording the first two Ozzy solo albums‚ which were extremely successful and influential‚ Rhoads sadly died in a plane crash in 1982 at the age of 25. With a short career‚ the musician didn't have the chance to talk a lot with the press but he once revealed in an intervieW with John Stix in 1981‚ that the Mountain guitarist Leslie West was one of his favorite guitarists of all time. Why Randy Rhoads said that Mountain's Leslie West was one of his favorite guitarists of all time &;quot;Leslie West was one of my all time favorite guitar players. I loved his feel. He used a lot of classical. I can feel he’s really into it when he does those little classical lines. It’s melodic but mean. Beck is also one of my favorites. They’re not idols‚ but I really like their playing. Beck and Michael Schenker‚ he’s very classical‚&;quot; Randy Rhoads told John Stix. Leslie West was 11 years older than Rhoads and helped to form Mountain in 1969‚ when Black Sabbath‚ for example‚ still hasn't released their debut album. With songs like &;quot;Mississipi Queen&;quot;‚ &;quot;Never In My Life&;quot; and &;quot;Nantucket Sleighride&;quot;‚ they became one of the most influential groups of the 70s‚ inspiring countless bands over the decades. Black Sabbath was curiously Mountain's opening act in the early 70s in the United States. During that same conversation with John Stix‚ Rhoads was asked which artists were important to him and he once again mentioned West. &;quot;Leslie West. Great feel‚ really moody and powerful. He was one of my favorites.&;quot; They had the chance to meet each other https://www.youtube.com/watch&;#63;v=qEnF6EB-yMs Rhoads and West had the chance to meet each other in the early 80s. The Mountain singer and guitarist recalled that in an interview with Guitar World in 2012. He even said that Randy was prettier than most girls. &;quot;We were on tour with them‚ and that's where I met Randy and Sharon and we all became friends. All of a sudden‚ he was gone too quick. I used to think he was prettier than most girls. He played really well; he played a lot of classical lines. I seem to gravitate toward that‚ so we hit it off‚&;quot; Leslie West said. When Randy Rhoads passed away in 1982‚ Mountain was in the middle of their first reunion‚ which lasted from 1981 to 1985. They were touring celebrating the band's legacy‚ since they had at the time only released four studio albums in the 70s. After that the band still released four more records. &;quot;Go For Your Life&;quot; (1985)‚ &;quot;Man's World&;quot; (1996)‚ &;quot;Mystic Fire&;quot; (2002) and &;quot;Masters of War&;quot; (2007). West curiously ended up performing with Ozzy Osbourne in 2005. He played the guitar on Ozzy's cover of Mountain's classic song &;quot;Mississippi Queen&;quot;‚ which was featured on his covers album &;quot;Under Cover&;quot;.The post The guitarist that Randy Rhoads said was one of his favorites appeared first on Rock And Roll Garage.
