Un supergruppo con membri di Deep Purple, HIM, Iron Maiden e Metallica: il 9 Maggio uscira’ un singolo, anche in vinile, con una tiratura di sole mille copie. Collezionisti gia’ scatenati!
La data del 7 Dicembre 1988 unisce tutte queste rockstar, perche’ quel giorno un tremendo terremoto ha colpito alcune zone dell’Armenia: subito venne realizzata una compilation di grandi successi rock, coinvolgendo decine di icone del metal nel remake di Smoke on the water. Quel progetto si chiamava Rock Aid Armenia …
Nell’album Born Again dei Black Sabbath, Ian Gillan e Tony Iommi hanno collaborato assieme. In Out Of My Mind (il nuovo singolo che stiamo attendendo) vi sono anche Jon Lord alle tastiere (colonna storica dei Deep Purple), Nicko McBrain (il batterista degli Iron Maiden), l’ex bassista dei Metallica Jason Newsted ed il chitarrista degli HIM Mikko Lindstrom.
Hamburg based earMUSIC, the international pop rock label of entertainment Group Edel, is proud to announce the release of the debut CD single by WhoCares on May 6th 2011. ll rock fans surfing the internet are already aware of the many rumours and semi-official news about this music project -one that simply seemed too exciting to be true. What hides behind this new band name is in fact the renewed musical union between legendary Deep Purple singer Ian Gillan, with none other than Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi: the undisputed master of heavy guitar riffs. The duo has recorded two brand new songs with the intent to support the rebuilding of a music school in Gyumri, Armenia. Both Gillan and Iommi have spent a lot of time in Armenia, fallen in love with the country and the people and have dedicated a lot of work to a nation still shocked after the earthquake that struck Armenia on December 7, 1988 at 11:41am….
Sulla scorta dei risultati (anche economici) che Rock Aid Armenia ha avuto, Gillan che Iommi hanno trascorso molto tempo in Armenia: hanno constato lo stato delle cose, verificando che e’ stata per lo pi?ricostruita, ma alcune strutture (come la scuola di musica di Gyumari) hanno ancora bisogno di fondi per la ricostruzione. Il singolo di questo supergruppo contiene Out Of My Mind, ma anche Holy Water e un documentario di 30 minuti che mostra il coinvolgimento di Gillan e Iommi nella causa legata all’Armenia nel corso degli anni. Il singolo sara’ pubblicato il 9 Maggio ed avra’ una edizione limitata in vinile 7”, con solo 1.000 copie numerate.
Ian Gillan said …The idea came as Tony and I flew back from Yerevan together after being inspired by the enthusiasm of everyone there to get this thing done. It was brilliant working with Tony again after all these years; he makes life easy for a singer. The other guys need no introduction do they
Tony Iommi added… Some twenty years ago when the call came, I thought, well at least I’ve helped, but it was going to Armenia and seeing the actual devastation caused by the earthquake that really made me realise that funds were still needed. Despite all the money that was raised last time, here was a music school doing their best, forgotten, in basic tin sheds. After the warmth and honour bestowed upon us during our visit, we just had to help make a difference and get the school re-built…
