UNTRAVOX hit 'Dancing With Tears In My Eyes'.


It must be some kind of hit, as this is the fifth metal cover version of this song that I know of, and I'd never heard the song until metal bands covered it.I still have yet to hear the original.

As much as metal bands cover Ultravox in general, I almost wonder if Ultravox needs to reunite at Progpower. We'd probably know most of the songs.
 
Really looking forward to Roy Khan's participation.

I'm more than a little surprised to see Alice Cooper on there. Interested to see what he'll sound like in conjunction with Tobias.
 
W00T w00t!!! I am so stoked. The lineup is great. It is going to be interested in where and how they put Alice Cooper into the mix. But Khan and Jorn!!!! Wooooooo Hooooooo!!!

Stay Metal!!

I know Eric Singer is playing drums on the disc. He was in Alice's band before joining Kiss. I would imagine he played some part in Alice's involvement. I can't wait for this disc to be released. I agree it should be an interesting mix of talent.
