I share the same feelings with Arjen Lucassen regarding Anneke Van Giersbergen’s voice. Here’s the first update for their new project The Gentle Storm.
My “Wish You Were Here” Cover Remake
Recently I visited Los Angeles with my wife, and we took a tour of the Warner Bros studios.
This was the outcome…
Our tour guide didn’t even know the cover for Pink Floyd’s album was taken at their studios, but she was super helpful finding the exact spot. When I showed her the legendary cover on my phone, she immediately said I know exactly where this is! And she took us there and also took the shot. Awesomeness.
And here’s another with the fire for full effect. Luckily I didn’t have to burn myself.
Tony Iommi is Battling Cancer
Black Sabbath’s guitarist Tony Iommi revealed about his Cancer in his interview with Mirror magazine yesterday. Tony had starting working on the latest Black Sabbath album 13 when he was diagnosed with lymphoma in January 2012.
Apparently when Iommi gathered his bandmates around to tell them the bad news, Ozzy said “Oh yeah, didn’t so and so die from that?”, jokingly I am assuming.
In the interview mr. Iommi says:
When the doctors told me I had cancer I thought, ‘That’s it then.’ Cancer was death as far as I was concerned. I found a painful lump in my groin while I was in New York promoting my book. I thought it was my prostate acting up again, but Ozzy told me I should get it checked out.
The legendary Black Sabbath guitarist is unsure how much longer he will live.
I Could Be Here Another 10 Years or Just One Year
I wish mr. Iommi all the best, and hope he can win this battle.
