Guitar-shredding virtuoso George Lynch has reteamed with former Dokken bandmate
Jeff Pilson for a set of new studio recordings that turn pop music classics into
powerful metal anthems!
The two have previously made metal magic together as a duo on the 2003 album
Wicked Underground, which was recently reissued on vinyl, as well as with other
projects such as T&N and The End Machine. But this new batch of recordings,
entitled appropriately enough Heavy Hitters, stands apart not only for its
outstanding roster of players and vocalists including head Bulletboy Marq
Torien, Fishbone's Angelo Moore, New Zealand native Wil Martin and drummer Brian
Tichy (Whitesnake/Ozzy) but for the jaw-dropping song selection. If you've ever
wondered what an amped-up, full-throttle version of Carole King's "I Feel The
Earth Move" or Prince's "Kiss" or Oasis' "Champagne Supernova" or Madonna's
"Music," then this is the album for you!
As a special treat, the band has released the first single from the album - a
powerful rendition of Duran Duran's "Ordinary World" - featuring Martin on
vocals, offering just a small taste of what's in store.
As Lynch himself explains, "I was never a huge Duran Duran fan but I always
loved this song. It was just so majestic and emotional. It was an honor and a
challenge to cover it in that we had to thread the needle between respecting the
original vision of the arrangement but putting our stamp on it as well."
Pilson, meanwhile, says "The purpose of this whole record, besides having a lot
of fun making it, was to take amazing hit songs and interpret them in a way that
was true to the greatness of the original but that also brought something new
and fresh to the song. "Ordinary World" is such a great melodic and emotional
song, a song I think George and I have always loved. We just wanted to add some
heaviness, a little George Lynch soulful playing and then let Wil fly with that
phenomenal voice."
Ripper's Notes:
When I first heard that Lynch and Pilson were making another album together, I
was thrilled. Wicked Underground is one of my absolute favorite Dokken related
projects, a brilliant album from front to back. Then, when this showed up in my
hands, and I saw it was a covers album, well, my excitement turned to
trepidation. Seriously, when has there EVER been a good covers album?
I'd like to say this is an exception to the rule. It's not. That's not to say
it's bad, it's certainly not bad, and a few of the tracks are quite interesting.
Musically, this album is nothing like you'd expect from this duo. It's just, like
all covers albums, throw away. Listen once, file away, and forget that it ever
existed. I hope you enjoy it more than I did, but if not, at least your cheap
ass didn't pay for it.
