Was that the case? back to places... I haven’t been here since 1978! It’s great Turner Overdrive, some would complain that you Yeah, me too!

Randy is a guy who to Scandanavia... this way you are freed from some of that with a Canadian rock legends Randy Bachman and Fred Turner have been rocking the socks off I was blown away by the energy and power goes at 200 miles an hour with all the windows down, so new band, while still keeping a link to your back people for decades with the Bachman Turner Overdrive, who gave us a timeless classic like of it. I believe I’m right in saying that this whole it’s hard to tie him down to do things. He’s busy working Yeah, you’re booked at Sweden Rock aren’t catalogue of work and retaining a lot of the old ‘You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet’, along with rock staples ‘Roll On Down The Highway’, ‘Takin’ reunion came about from what was due to be a on things, so while he was doing stuff I was working on you? sound.

I’m looking You got it man, yeah, that’s what we’re hoping for. continued without him, under the simple moniker of BTO, but after a while that ran its Yeah - he called me up and we had lunch together. the cold anymore, so I’m ready to be heading for Florida, forward to seeing Gary Moore - he’s such a great blues He said he’d been working on a CD and he said that he’d right? But of course, with the internet now, Pro Tools, all player, I love his stuff. Did it take long to write the album, or once the course and he disbanded the group and retired. However, in this era of great comebacks, written a song and he’d like to use my voice on it. I’d been that stuff, you can just ship it across online from wherever two of you got together did the ideas just come Randy and Fred have decided to reunite for a new record and live dates, simply under their retired for a while so I thought it’d be fun to do it and see you are! In fact, some of the vocals I actually cut in a lot of When I saw the Sweden Rock bill, you’ve got tumbling out? names Bachman and Turner. Fireworks had the chance to see them live at the Garage in if the old pipes still work. So I went in to my studio, laid it a mall when I did finally get to go to Florida! some great bands like Aerosmith on after you It didn’t take that long because I had some songs London for an intimate warm up show before their festival dates, so James Gaden was in down, sent it back to him and he was knocked out by it! and I thought after what I saw last night, that any together and Randy had some songs together, so after attendance. The next morning he sat down with bassist/vocalist Fred Turner (right) to find He said “I think I’ll put my solo CD on the shelf - do you Wow - it sounds for all the world like you were group is going to be hard pushed to follow a set sending demos to each other on the internet, I’d use have any songs that you could bring in?” I told him I had a all stood together. Some albums that are done this with so many great songs and played with such a program... I don’t know if you’re familiar with it but out about the unlikely reunion, why Corvettes are cool and what it’s like to be heckled by few, so we started talking about maybe doing something way with files sent via the net and put together power and enthusiasm. That was the first time it’s called Garageband and I used that to change things Homer Simpson. together. sound good, but sometimes a little sterile, but not I’ve seen you live - I couldn’t believe how powerful around, send it back and then Randy would maybe say “I this. Did Randy handle the production for it? your voice was. like that, but what about this” and we’d swap ideas like I think it’s fantastic - I noticed when I read the Yeah, he did. He did a great job! Well, y’know it kind of surprises me too! I do that. Then it was a case of Randy going into the studio biography on the new Bachman Turner website, absolutely everything a vocal coach would tell you not to and getting a production together, so it came together Randy described the new record as like a “lost With you mentioning you used to go down to do. I figured I would be really lucky to have this work for quite quickly. B.T.O. Greatest Hits album” and when I got the your basement to write, did you have a stockpile me through the seventies and maybe the eighties, but it’s promo, I dug out my old B.T.O. Greatest Hits to of songs that you could bring in, or did you decide, still there and I’ll use it as long as I can! (laughs) I dabble in my own songwriting and I’m a nut get in the mood and then put the new record on once you and Randy agreed to move forward, to about all things Apple, so I love Garageband and after it and it did - I thought it sounded like an write fresh stuff? Absolutely - it would be criminal not to! Did use it all the time. I haven’t sold as many records extra twelve tracks. Considering how long you I had pieces of songs really - I had to put things you have a specific influence in your vocal style? as you guys yet, but it’s encouraging to know I use guys have spent apart and the various changes together, re-write parts, finish them off basically. Stuff Certain things you do remind me of certain people, the same software! (laughs) that B.T.O. went through, I think it’s fantastic that from the vault really, which then got a revamp. I’d have but as a whole, I don’t really think you sound like (Laughs) It’s great isn’t it! you managed to recapture the essence of the old odd verses here, bridges there, some lyrics, it gave me anybody. Some rock singers you can tell are trying sound. Did you strive to get that sound back, or something to work from. to do what Robert Plant does, or Paul Rodgers... I think it’s brilliant that the internet allows was it a result of what came naturally? but with you, I was curious how your voice came things like that to happen. As someone who has I think that’s what Randy was searching for. My part of I think having you bring stuff like that in though to sound how it does? been around the music business a long time, do it came from the fact that before I retired, I was basically helped regain that classic sound - when you I like rhythm and blues guys, some of the black singers you think the internet is a help or a hinderance just doing the classic rock thing with the other guys from joined Brave Belt, it was your voice and writing from the US who were around when I was starting... Joe to the business? BTO - I was still kind of caught in that era, y’know? When contributions that made that group evolve into Cocker, I love him. I liked the feel of forcing it and getting I think it’s a bit of both. I don’t really question those I was going into my basement, grabbing my guitar and just a more rock orientated band, which ultimately that power - it gets me going and it became that I just things. Randy kis more into that stuff - he is so quick with writing a few things... I’ve been doing this for fifty years, so became B.T.O. and you’re the only guy who sing that way. And Paul Rodgers - that’s another guy I love. things, it’s hard to question them, he’s so far ahead of even though I wasn’t really thinking about doing anything, has appeared on every B.T.O. record, so you’re Oh, he’s such a great singer. I used to sing his sort of me! something pulls you down there to play! (laughs) So I’d go obviously integral to the mix.

  • Rockmusik in Kanada
    Rüdiger Meilahn Rock & Pop Splitter (16) Splitter In den bisherigen Ausgaben dieser Reihe standen zumeist britische, US-amerikanische oder deut- sche Interpreten im Vordergrund. Irische und australische Rockmusikgrößen wurden vor einigen Jahren anlässlich der Weimarer Schulmusiktage vorgestellt. Der aktuelle Teil möchte Ihnen einige interessante Bands und Solisten anbieten, welche im zweitgrößten Land der Erde aufgewachsen sind, in Kanada. Kanada ist der Staatsform nach eine Parlamentarische Monarchie. Das Staatsoberhaupt ist Königin Elisabeth II., welche durch eine Generalgouverneurin vertreten wird. Formal erlangte Kanada 1982 seine Unabhängigkeit von Großbritannien. Aktueller Regierungschef ist Premierminister Stephen Harper. Kanadas Wahlspruch lautet: „A Mari Usque Ad Mare“ (lat. für: „Von Meer zu Meer“; abge- leitet von Psalm 72,8). Die Hauptstadt ist Ottawa, und Englisch sowie Französisch sind die Amts- sprachen. Kanada hat etwa 33.000.000 Einwohner und verfügt über eine Fläche von ca. 10.000.000 qkm. Paul Anka Obwohl Anka bis in die 1990-er Jahre dem Plattengeschäft treu geblieben ist, hat er in einem Inter- view Folgendes erzählt: „Ich hatte meine große Zeit in den Jahren von 1957 bis 1962, nachdem die erste Rock-‘n‘-Roll-Welle abgeebbt war. […] Ich reihte in diesen Jahren Hit an Hit, wie Lonely Boy, Put Your Head On My Shoulder, You Are My Destiny oder Puppy Love. Mit 19 Jahren war ich Millio- när.” Paul Anka wurde am 30.07.1941 in Ottawa geboren. Für den Film „Der längste Tag“ schrieb er die Musik und spielte selbst mit. 1963 heiratete er in Paris und hätte spätestens jetzt zum jüngsten und reichsten Frührentner des amerikanischen Showgeschäftes werden können.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.
