The new instrumental album Disney Super Guitar features world-famous
guitarists Zakk Wylde (Ozzy Osbourne, Black Label Society), Paul Gilbert
(Mr. Big), Tak Matsumoto (B'z), George Lynch (Dokken), Orianthi, and others
performing hard-rocking, virtuosic versions of timeless Disney songs.
With cover art depicting Mickey Mouse "shredding" on an electric guitar,
Disney Super Guitar releases worldwide on April 27, 2018, via Walt Disney
Records. In addition to the guitar stars already listed, the album also
features Phil X (Bon Jovi), Ron Thal (Guns N' Roses), Jeff Watson (Night
Ranger), Mike Orlando (Adrenaline Mob), and Richie Kotzen.
Every song on Disney Super Guitar is a Disney classic updated to appeal to
both guitar fans and Disney fans alike, and all songs are powered by a
backing band comprising guitarist John Bruno, drummer B.J. Zampa, bassist
Chris Vescera, and keyboardist Michael Vescera (Chris's father), who
co-produced the record with the album's mastermind, renowned producer
Death-Rider.
"Disney Super Guitar is a natural follow-up to our first guitar-powered
Disney release, which was Metal Disney" says Death-Rider. Metal Disney was
released in 2017 and peaked at #1 on Amazon's Metal chart.
The guitar virtuosos on Disney Super Guitar enjoyed re-imagining famous
Disney tunes in their own ways. For example, Grammy-winning guitarist Tak
Matsumoto, who has sold over 80 million albums with his rock duo, B'z,
takes "When You Wish Upon a Star" to new heights with a soaring, overdriven
lead guitar rendition of the main theme - a theme that reappears later in
the song as a down-home blues epilogue. "Everyone knows this beautiful
melody, and I tried to express it in my own way," says Matsumoto. "I am so
honored to be a part of this album. I hope you enjoy the guitar sound from
Fujiyama country!"
Meanwhile, Zakk Wylde gives "Beauty and the Beast" a brutal metal touch.
"Originally, it was a beautiful, dreamy piece," says Wylde. "Now, it's a
cruel nightmare. I take pride in that."
"Hellfire" finds George Lynch performing the song"s main melody note-for-
note in some places, yet, at other times, veering off into adventurous
guitar approaches. "I mixed in everything from Roy Buchanan and Jeff Beck
tricks to pick swipes and vibrato-bar moves," says Lynch. "I threw in
everything but the kitchen sink.
Paul Gilbert took direct inspiration from the title of the song he chose.
"I played electric guitar on "Under the Sea,'" he says. "To create an
under-the-sea sound, I operated my wah-wah pedal as quickly as possible
while playing my guitar parts."
Ripper's Notes:
Bit o' a mystery here. Everything points to this having had an
international release, under the name of Disney Super Guitar. Artwork and
reviews are easy to find, but, I can find no evidence of it actually being
released until this Japanese edition.
Also, oddly, the discogs page points to a release with a different catalog
number and earlier release date but. . . I hold this copy in my grubby
little hands, and you are looking at the scans yourself, so, who knows!?!
And, yes, the booklet is that messed up. Odd for a Japanese release, which
typically puts quality control far above international standards. But,
bottom line is, it's the music that counts, and this one has 38 minutes of
top quality tunes!
And yes, the Guitar Girl review ends that suddenly. . .
If you chose to share this, or any other release, elsewhere, please
give the original ripper/uploader the respect they deserve by
leaving it intact and giving credit where credit is due.
