In the show’s only interview, Doro discusses her upcoming US tour, her Rock Carnival appearance, working with producer/songwriter Jack Ponti, has she ever considered quitting the music business, Uli Jon Roth, Blaze Bayley & her latest release ‘Strong & Proud – 30 Years Of Rock And Metal’ and a lot more.

Quotes from the interview:

Working with producer/songwriter Jack Ponti (time 6.09): “We hit it off right away. We loved each other right away.”

(Time 7.47): “I learnt a lot from him, but you know I think he learned something from me. It was great chemistry.”

On has she thought of quitting (time 11.33): “Sometimes you have to take the good with the bad. You have to hang in there when times are not on your side – in the ’90s when grunge was so big and shovelled metal to the side and it was hard, but I was like ‘ok, I play smaller venues. It doesn’t matter.’ There will still enough metal heads/ die hard fans there to keep going.”

New album (18.12): ‘Now we are in the making of a new record and I hope it will come out next year. We have already five songs – one is dedicated to Lemmy. It’s called Living Life To The Fullest.”

Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the signing of KANE ROBERTS to the label for the release of his next solo album, sometime in 2017.

Kane says, “Once you strap on a guitar and make the hard coded decision to play music in the face of everything you know and don’t know, you find that “the life” (of a musician) has its way with you no matter what and WILL tear you up if you try and wander too far away. I may have stepped into other enterprises and projects, but I was never far from the jet stream that I was lucky enough to have been a part of in the 80s and 90s. Now, because of the new songs inside of me, my guitar and the fans I’m in contact with, I know the creative fire will burn me down if I don’t step back inside the flames. I believe the people at Frontiers Music Srl also feel that creative heat, the need to be an integral part of the music industry (their output is resoundingly prolific) and I don’t know of a better place for me to record and release my new album.

Over the last few years the songs, the messages, and the fans have been burning a hole on my insides. This new album has been gearing up for a while and the songs and messages I’ll be forging will emerge from the fire.

Sorry it took me so long, all kinds of life happened that will definitely find it’s way onto the record and yeah, I’m gonna hit this one hard.”

Kane has recorded a total of four solo albums so far (also including the Phoenix Down project released on Frontiers in the late 90’s). Kane’s name and abilities first came to prominence on Alice Cooper’s “Constrictor” album, which was soon followed by his self-titled debut solo album in 1987. More albums and tours with Alice followed, making Kane a well known face in the business especially for his guitar skills, but also for his body-builder image and his now iconic machine-gun guitar.

As a solo recording artist, he has landed a few Top 40 hits and his varied musical background includes recording, writing and touring with artists such as Rod Stewart, Alice Cooper, Desmond Child, KISS, Diane Warren, Alice in Chains, Berlin, Guns N’ Roses, Garland Jeffries and more. He’s also written or recorded music for films like Light Sleeper, Penelope Spheeris’ Decline of Western Civilization, Friday the 13th IV Jason Lives, John Carpenter’s Prince of Darkness, and more. In 1991, his second solo album, “Saints and Sinners” for Geffen Records included the Top 40 Billboard hit “Does Anybody Really Fall In Love Anymore?”, originally written by Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora.

According to news circulating in Brazil, which we believe to be legitimate, AC/DC are to thankfully continue with Axl Rose on vocals and a new bass player after long standing four-stringer player Cliff Williams played his last gig with the band on Tuesday in Philadelphia.

Respected Brazilian journalist José Norberto Flesch, who we know has had contact with AC/DC, has made comments on Twitter indicating that Angus Young will hire new musicians and that Axl will continue as frontman, as we expected.

Flesch wrote (translated from Portuguese):

“AC/DC will not end… Angus will hire musicians to play with him and with his cousin… Axl will also continue in AC/DC.”

And in a separate report, Flesch wrote:

“He [Angus] will hire new musicians, and Axl Rose will continue as vocalist.

“Axl and Angus are also rumored to want to record new AC/DC material following Guns N’ Roses’ ‘Not In This Lifetime’ world tour.”

Brazilian station 89 A Radio Rock, the biggest rock radio station in São Paulo and possibly in Brazil, are running the report as factual and we’ve been saying for months here at MetalTalk that this would happen.

Our man in the AC/DC camp is still sleeping off his end of tour party hangover but MetalTalk’s Brazilian correspondent, Fernando Souza, has been busy investigating and translating all day and we’re more than satisfied that we will be seeing a new AC/DC album in 2017 or 2018 and that we’ll be once again riding the rock’n’roll train soon enough.

And now it’s all but confirmed, we’re taking friendly bets on who the new AC/DC bass player will be. Click here to see who our leading three contenders are and to watch Cliff’s farewell to the fans, as well as Angus’ thank you video at the end of the Rock Or Bust World Tour.

For those about to rock – it’s a long way to the top but it ain’t a bad place to be…
