I hate to say A and not B...but i'm not allowed to talk about this yet :) I got a session today to do guitars on an American artists album...produced by one of THE biggest names ever!!! And i got to hear 4-5 songs today that just completely blew me away...it's the most clever mix of the best of the 80's rock with top selling pop/rock today...with an MAJOR Aor touch to it. It's been a few years since my whole soul was screaming "I GOTTA BUY THIS ALBUM!!!!!"... And the song writing is mind blowing...epic...classic!!! This is a real game changer and i can't wait to talk about the whole thing :)http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926916,926916#msg-926916Thu, 20 Jun 2013 07:20:13 +1000 Phorum 5.2.16 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926916,927189#msg-927189 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926916,927189#msg-927189Bob Ezrin!!!]]> Signal Fan NoticeboardFri, 18 Jan 2013 05:01:37 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926916,927115#msg-927115 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926916,927115#msg-927115

Maybe it's the band that Poison "allegedly" stole songs from.


Or is it the surviving member of Milli Vanilli = "Just Vanilli"?

It could be the long-awaited collaboration between Lady Gaga and the Goo Doo Dolls = Goo Goo Gaga.

(I actually hope it's none of these.)]]> snuffball NoticeboardThu, 17 Jan 2013 09:58:15 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926916,927100#msg-927100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926916,927100#msg-927100 Captain Can Man NoticeboardThu, 17 Jan 2013 08:49:05 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926916,927084#msg-927084 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926916,927084#msg-927084 Walk In The Shadows NoticeboardThu, 17 Jan 2013 06:15:00 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926916,927072#msg-927072 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926916,927072#msg-927072 PB NoticeboardThu, 17 Jan 2013 04:14:18 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926916,927068#msg-927068 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926916,927068#msg-927068 PaulBonrud NoticeboardThu, 17 Jan 2013 03:45:36 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926916,927045#msg-927045 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926916,927045#msg-927045;-)

It's Def Leppard! Phil Collen has called Tommy in to play all the rhythm parts that Viv Cambell was due to play, (as he obviously doesn't want Viv playing anything), and then he's going to solo really fast all over them.

I was reading some more of your post below and noticed you said this:


I do a lot of sessions every year but usually 2-4 major albums that top or end up very high on Billboard etc...and 2013 couldn't start more cool than this :)

I know you do alot of sessions every year but I didn't know they were topping the charts. Can you please list a few specific releases you were on that topped Billboard in the last few years? Are you playing with Lady Ga Ga, Jay Z, Katy Perry or others in that realm of music?]]> Captain Can Man NoticeboardWed, 16 Jan 2013 12:11:43 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926916,926985#msg-926985 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926916,926985#msg-926985I'm of course gonna ask the lovely people in charge when i can talk about this as i know it's something very interesting for this board :)]]> Tommy-Denander NoticeboardWed, 16 Jan 2013 09:40:48 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926916,926984#msg-926984 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926916,926984#msg-926984 Tommy-Denander NoticeboardWed, 16 Jan 2013 09:39:24 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926916,926983#msg-926983 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926916,926983#msg-926983 Tommy-Denander NoticeboardWed, 16 Jan 2013 09:38:34 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926916,926978#msg-926978 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926916,926978#msg-926978 IanF NoticeboardWed, 16 Jan 2013 08:46:26 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926916,926975#msg-926975 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926916,926975#msg-926975 SNorander NoticeboardWed, 16 Jan 2013 08:23:22 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926916,926972#msg-926972 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,926916,926972#msg-926972-------------------------------------------------------

And there is REAL power behind it...so atleast it's got a serious shot...but...with the way the music world looks these days it's still a brutal uphill climb for everyone.
