Super Group CD with Joe (Page 11 of 12)

It's like putting a guitar through an overdrive pedal or box. It pushes the amp past it's normal limits creating a distorted sound but idealy a "good" distorted sound.

Listen to DP In Rock or Made in Japan. There is plenty of overdriven Hammond on those two records. It's a killer sound and one you don't hear much anymore. There aren't many of these Hammonds around anymore. They are vintage gear. They play it through a Leslie which has a cylindrical shaped part that spins creating it's unique sound. I'm no keyboard expert by any means. Some others may have more insight.

Listen carefully to the organ into to "Lazy" from Made in Japan....you can hear sort of a distorted overtone to some of the keyboard notes.

For those of you unfamiliar with Derek Sherinian, he is an AMAZING keyboard player, did a few years with Dream Theater, has played with Alice Cooper's band and is currently touring with Billy Idol.   Those of you who don't have disdain for "shredding" guitarists should check out some of his "Planet X" project CD's, featuring Australian phenom Bret Garsed (think Alan Holdsworth), and Tony MacAlpine, who toured for some time as keyboard/2nd guitar with Steve Vai.  Many of you probably wouldn't like it, but I am sure some of you would.

Here's a little sample.....but he can do lots of different stuff well:

I am personally STOKED about this project.

Hey! The guy's wearing a Sopranos T shirt ..... I'm liking him already!

Yea because Jon Lord was a beast and used a Marshall stack for his Hammond instead of the famous Leslie cab.... hence the overdriven keys.

This really would be a super group, and I am really looking forward to hearing the CD.  However, a bit of anxiety as a long-time follower of Joe and his shows back to the Eric/Kenny days.   What does this mean for Rick, Carmine and Bogie, and the old style of very personal, come-out-and-talk-to-fans-and-sign-stuff after that we've known for years from Joe at his shows?  What's going to happen to that fine blue-rock style?  Is Joe going to abandon his solo work and touring with the old gang to work with Black Country?  Guess we'll see.
