Graham Bonnet returns (with Mark Zonder as guest)

[labrekk]

These 2 new songs are pretty good melodic rock/hard rock stuff IMO. Nice to see Mr. Bonnet still going strong at age 67.

I would imagine few on here like Bonnet, but even though the guy never took on the rock personna, he does have a set of pipes. And he's been around for 45+ years on hundreds of recordings... including the Impellitteri albums. Anyway, just a geek of a fan here saying I enjoy his singing. And now for a trip on the Way Back Machine to 1968 and his first group Marbles...

Love Graham, Down to Earth is one of my favorite albums. Stand in Line is just an amazing song and album, i love it. Can't wat to hear more music from him.

Always great to find another Bonnet fan. That makes at least a dozen of us here in the States, eh? :Smokin:

Cool, never ever heard that... Never saw Graham with longer hair before either...

Yep. It was all over the radio when I was a teen, although not a top 10 hit in the States. Strangely, written by the Gibb brothers (Bee Gees), and Bonnet re-did it on the Alcatrazz 'Dangerous Games' album.

He's on one track from Tomorrow's Outlook's 2012 CD...

Another Canadian fan here. Graham is a true original. He sang on albums from some of my favorite guitar players ( Malmsteen,Vai, Impellitteri, Schenker) and one of my favorite Japanese bands ,Anthem. And he is sounding great these day. I hope to hear some new recordings with him soon.

I love System X his comeback album with impellitteri.

Sounds pretty good. Wouldn't mind checking out some pro-shot video from this, or his recent MSG stuff. :hotjump:

 

[The Surfing Alien]

I love System X his comeback album with impellitteri.

Me too. I think it's the best Impellitteri album after Eye of the Hurricane. I find all these Rock reunion albums really boring. Impeliteri must be out of ideas I guess . I did like that one album with new singer who didn't last. Should've kept him and let Rock do more solo albums or Driver haha.
