SONNY VINCENT The good, the bad & the ugly CD (2003 Empty)
Solider Punkrock ist das Markenzeichen des Ex-Testors Frontmann, diesmal
mit Gastmusikern von Black Flag, Damned, MC 5, Stooges, Generation X,
Sonic Youth, Lazy Cowgirls, u.a. Sonny decided to try to put out the
worlds most ultimate guitar album. The result is "The Good The Bad &
The Ugly". He wrote his friends and telephoned around, called up
friends of friends, and gradually out of this grand idea the project
gathered shape. And lots of amazing guest stars wanted to be a part of
it. Sonny recorded the basic tracks with his band, comprising himself on
guitar and vocals, Captain Sensible on bass and Scott Asheton on drums.
He then packed up these unfinished tracks, grabbed his guitar and went
to the airport. Whenever a cheapo flight left to London or New York,
Sonny was on it. He ended up recording, in all parts of the world,
guitar tracks for this album, including performances by Dexter Holland
& Noodles (from a famous band you all know but who's major label
record company doesn't want mentioned), Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth),
Don Fleming (Gumball), Greg Ginn (Black Flag), Scott Asheton (Stooges),
Wayne Kramer (MC5), Captain Sensible (Damned), Walter Lure
(Heartbreakers) Brian James (Lords Of The New Church, The Damned),
Richard Lloyd (Television), Robert Quin (Richard Hell), Pat Todd (Lazy
Cowgirls), Bob Derwood (Generation X), Cliff Roman (Weirdos), among
endless others. This rock and roll odyssey of waiting in airport
lobbies, sleeping in cheap hotels or on the floor of friends, grabbing
the next plane to somewhere when one of his guitar heroes just happened
to have time, took three years. The result is amazing: 14 tracks of
amazing guitar power. You can tell that each track was painstakingly
recorded, each guitar part carefully laid down as if this was the only
track in the world. You can feel the result in every note: rock and roll
power.
