talked to Eric briefly last night, just trying to get an update on what he's working on in studio. He is recording for a new release with Doug Pinnick (Kings X) on bass, and Thomas Pridgen from The Mars Volta on drums. I'm not sure if he said whether Mike Varney will produce this or not, but suspect that will be the case. He sounded well, maybe a little tired if anything, but has continued to stay away from the dummy dust. No date set yet for this to come out, that I know of.

Tanks for the update Tres..Sounds like a great band he has goin on.Looking forward to anything new from EG!!!!!!!

Second what Gary says. 

Also, if you can, please let Eric know that I like his honesty is his lyrics. He has a big fan in me and he's the whole package smile.

Re: What happened to Eric Gales

nothing new on the studio stuff, but shouldn't be too much longer one would think. Heads up for our bonabuds in Germany, Eric will play at least two dates there in October (I'd like to be there for Oktoberfest). I have no idea who he will bring for backup.

OCT 24 - Mainz,DE     
OCT 25 - Wetzlar,DE

Re: What happened to Eric Gales

thanks Ryan for posting this, welcome to the forum. He has toured off and on with Lauryn for almost a year now, between the Experience Hendrix dates and his off time in the studio. Unfortunately not much of it has been posted to Utube. Hang around and enjoy the wacky Bonafamily, you are amongst Joe's friendliest of fans and glad to have you.

Re: What happened to Eric Gales

Eric has a double LIVE CD to be released tomorrow.

http://www.amazon.com/Live-Eric-Gales/d … eric+gales

I'm thinking that this may be from the show that he and Stoney Curtis performed in Santa Rosa about 18 months ago. Stoney's comes out 10/17 I think. Shrapnel Records (Mike Varney) taped that show.

Major Tom to ground control...

Guest artists usually have their own backup at Iridium. I'll be tuning in. I've seen some great acts on the streams from there.

Re: What happened to Eric Gales

they were both born in the month of October lol............Coco also plays a right handed guitar upside down.

I just looked at a couple of Coco's live vids, and it doesn't look like a right handed guitar??

Re: What happened to Eric Gales

that is true, Eric is a righty. The story goes that he told his brothers Eugene and Manuel (Little Jimmy King) that he wanted to learn to play, and they said well this is the way we learned and you are going to do it the same way. He went along with it, the rest is history and it turned out pretty good. After listening to more and more of Little Jimmy, there is no doubt in my mind that he would be as good or better guitarist than Eric if he was still alive today. now that's a scary thought.

Re: What happened to Eric Gales

Man that was rough. The connection had audio so low I could barely hear it and it dropped out frequently. Eric did the best he could with that band. Those cats weren't exactly in the groove with his style. Anton held up a lot of it though. Some good moments but not what I was expecting.
