Is this for real? If it is wow!

I thought marty doesnt want to play metal anymore though?

 

[spawn]

Marty? Isnt he off in club land making dance tunes?

 

[weetbix]

Shit - Al leaving Savatage ... again !?!?!

Noooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Sydo]

No, Al is still is Savatage.

This sounds good, lets hope they get a vocalist that can sing

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Fuck me!! If that is true, this could be HUGE! With a good vocalist, and Marty playing with some balls again, this would kick so much arse!!

 

[Cooperman]

I'll be interested to see the direction they take... I can't really see it being that heavy or fast... but it should be cool and hopefully a bit shreddy with Al and Marty playing.

 

[spawn]

Yeah I can see it being Echobrainy roots rock or something like that unfortunately
Expect to hear "We played metal for 20 years its time for a break" or something similair

Im still interested in how it turns out though

 

[Sydo]

It'll be metal.

 

[spawn]

Define metal......

 

[Sydo]

HEAVY FUCKING SHIT!

 

[spawn]

Ill believe it when I hear it

 

[Sydo]

and so it shall be

* crosses fingers, arms & legs *

 

[weetbix]

Assuming Al stays in Savatage he is gonna be one busy guitarist ... considering he is still part of the other 'tage entity known as Trans Siberian Orchestra

 

[Sydo]

Oh crap.. maybe that's the band he's staying with. I'm all confused

 

[Seventh Son]

Just in case you guys didn't know - Marty is back doing heavy stuff.

He recently tapped Deen Castronovo to play drums on a new solo album. Andif you know the style Deen plays I'd say it will be a great album.

Deen has been on a couple of Tony MacAlpine albums (Maximum Security and Premonition - Tony's best two albums!), Geezer (also G//Z/R) and that was heavy. He was also on Marty's Dragons Kiss.

 

[Sydo]

.. and James Murphy's Convergence. Unfortunately the drum sound on that album is weak.

 

[Seventh Son]

Yeah it isn't a great sound but atleast you can hear everything. His drum sound on Premonition is the best.

 

[Seventh Son]

I also forgot Vai's Alien Love Secrets. Awesome drumming on that

 

[Winmar]

Sounds great, if they're gonna do heavy stuff. Is Deen just a session drummer? I only really know him from his session stuff. Is Marty's album gonna be heavy and fast like Dragon's Kiss, or crap elevator music like Scenes and Introductions?!
