Vicious Rumors

[Everflow]

Leur ancien batteur Larry Howe est revenu, un tueur cui-là

Cette année ils devraient enfin sortir leur DVD, et peut-être le nouvel album qui est en train de devenir l'Arlésienne...

A noter que le label américain Wounded Bird Records a réédité VR, Welcome to the Ball, et le live Plug In and Hold On : http://www.woundedbird.com/

j'ai vu un de leur live ce week end avec Carl Albert au chant, me souviens plus du nom de ce cd
Je sais pas si çavaut le coup, vu que j'avais accroché moyen quand je les avais vu live il y a 4 ans.

[Everflow]

Ben y'a 2 lives, dont un bootleg (le tribute to carl albert), qui deviennent aussi rares l'un que l'autre (sauf si la réédition est distribuée en Europe). Le Plug In a un meilleur son, mais est très (trop) court. En fait ils n'ont jamais sorti de pur live complet dans les règles de l'art.

Mais sur scène j'ai jamais été déçu, au contraire

[Bertrand]

je vais voir si je le retrouve samedi prochain.

The band are also scheduked to perform at Tradate Iron Fest, a five-day event set to take place June 1-5 at Campo Sportivo in Tradate (VA), Italy.

Sympa la tracklist, mais il y a trop de nouveaux titres alors qu'ils n'ont toujours pas sorti le nouvel album, je ne suis pas sûr que ce soit une bonne idée... m'enfin, si je le trouve je l'achèterai quand même.

[Everflow]

Leur chanteur Brian O'Connor se barre, c'est au moins la 2ème fois... Apparemment l'ambiance au sein du groupe ne serait pas terrible, ce qui pourrait expliquer leur lenteur pour sortir un nouvel album...

Il a remonté un groupe avec des membres de Vicious et de Heathen.

"After eight years, it's not without some sadness that I have decided to end my journey as the lead vocalist of VICIOUS RUMORS. It's been a long haul with great memories, but I have given my last commitment to VICIOUS RUMORS.

"The truth is that after the many adaptations that the group has endured, VICIOUS RUMORS seems to have lost the unity and brotherhood that once was. Furthermore, the lack of respect, management, leadership, trust, and most of all, the belief in one another, were all factors in my decision to move on. I've gone above and beyond with dedication and passion, but I cannot continue with VICIOUS RUMORS under these circumstances within the group.

"Thanks to my family, friends and all the fans that stood by me through these years — I love you. Keep your ears open for my next group, which will include members of VICIOUS RUMORS and HEATHEN — you haven't heard the last from me!"

C'est dommage.
Perso il m'avait impressionné au BYH, il avait une bonne voix et une bonne présence (remarquez en 20 min de concert, vaut mieux...)

[Cardinal-Sin]

un petit James Riveira pour le remplacement l'espace d'un album ça me plairait bien

Clair qu'il assurait à fond!
Le truc bizarre je trouve c'est que justement il était toujours bien meilleur live que sur l'album où il apparait (Cyberchrist)...

[Everflow]

Avec tous ces départs on pouvait le sentir venir, maintenant c'est fait, ils se reforment sous leur line-up classique qui avait duré 10 ans
Mais sans Mark McGee leur guitar hero de l'époque sniff... et toujours sans chanteur, à suivre donc...

Bassist Dave Starr and drummer Larry Howe have rejoined guitarist Geoff Thorpe in the latest incarnation of the San Francisco Bay Area metal veterans VICIOUS RUMORS. The group, who recently parted ways with frontman Brian O'Connor, are currently seeking a new vocalist while continuing to write material for a new studio album, tentatively due in 2006.

[hevydevy]

Le mystère plane toujours autour du chanteur. Ca commence à urger car la tournée approche...

[Tony Le Pouilleux]

Sera-ce Ben Sotto?

le podj il est content si ça se confirme


Veteran heavy metal singer James Rivera (HELSTAR, SEVEN WITCHES, KILLING MACHINE) is strongly rumored to have landed the lead-vocalist slot in the long-running San Francisco Bay Area band VICIOUS RUMORS. An official statement on the matter is expected soon.

La liste des groupes de Metal US dans lesquels il a chanté ne rentrera bientôt plus sur son CV

Cardinal Sin tes voeux sont exocés JAMES RIVERA rejoint Vicious rumors ainsi que ce bon vieux BRAD GILLIS à la gratte

Brad Gillis returns to metal and beyond with VICIOUS RUMORS for the next studio CD and tour. Brad blew everyone away when he took over for the late Randy Rhoads touring with Ozzy in '82 and '83 and did all the <a style='text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 3px double;' href="http://www.serverlogic3.com/lm/rtl3.asp?si=22&k=guitar" onmouseover="window.status='guitar'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">guitar</a> work on the 'Speak of the Devil – Live' and then went on to platinum success with NIGHT RANGER. His mind bending guitar playing is perfect for the VICIOUS RUMORS guitar team and is sure to provide some scorching riff exchanges!

"James Rivera joins VICIOUS RUMORS, bringing soaring vocals and a true metal spirit to the band. James has performed, recorded and toured with many legendary metal outfits. He brings a powerful sound and creativity. A true pro, James has the tools to carry on in the VICIOUS RUMORS legacy."

Commented VICIOUS RUMORS guitarist Geoff Thorpe: "This is truly a new and exciting time in VICIOUS RUMORS. I look forward to unleashing this new animal on the next CD and tour! The chemistry between the five of us is wicked!"

Le Brad Gillis de chez Ozzy? Bizarre de le voir revenir dans un groupe comme Vicious Rumors... mais pourquoi pas.

J'ai acheté Welcome mercredi et je trouve qu'ils auraient pu se forcer pour le package.
