Mike (Drums) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 16:07:21 +0000

Sacramento's Progressive/Melodic Rock band SOUL DISTORTION have announced their new line-up which includes Sacramento's local shredder guitarist Greg Fox.

Greg was an original member of SOUL DISTORTION when the band formed in 2002. He has also been performing in the Sacramento area for over 30 years. Greg recently performed with SOUL DISTORTION on the steps of the State Capital of California to support Autism Awareness and most recently at The Fire Escape bar and grill ( Video below, left side of the stage).

When recently asked, "what makes this band better than ever?", Drummer for the band, Mike Murray had this to say: "The move to bring Greg back into the project can only be described with one word.....Fate!"

This entire band has grown over the last 5 years. Both from a performance and writing stand point. But now that Greg is back in the brotherhood, it's like we're 5 little kids sitting in a garage starting our first band......but we can actually play, and at the same calliber HAHAHHAHA. This band is fun again. It's sooooooo flipp'n nice to have 5 guys that all think the same."

SOUL DISTORTION will be playing at The Fire Escape on December 18th at 8:30 p.m. Directions and information can be found at www.souldistortion.com

It's to see someone other than Mike Portnoy being interviewed from DT. Don't get me wrong, LOVE Mike, but hearing from the other guys is refreshing.

This is a short & informative video. Worth the 8 minutes.

A 10-minute trailer for "Randy Rhoads: Last Train Home" (working title), the long-awaited documentary film on the life of celebrated rock guitarist Randy Rhoads ( Quiet Riot, Ozzy ) can be viewed below.

Director Peter M. Margolis of Dakota Pictures and his crew started filming on March 19, 2007, when hundreds of fans gathered at Rhoads' grave in San Bernardino, California to commemorate the 25th anniversary of his death.

Since then, Margolis has filmed more than 100 interviews, with Rhoads' family and friends and people who worked with him. The list of names includes Kelli Garni, the original bassist in QUIET RIOT; Carlos Cavazo, the guitarist in the "Metal Health" line-up of QUIET RIOT; Sarzo and his brother Robert, who was considered as a replacement for Rhoads in Ozzy's band; Jodi Raskin, Rhoads' girlfriend at the time of his death; Grover Jackson, whose company made Rhoads' signature guitars; Randy's brother Kelle, who's wearing the silver "RR" ring Rhoads had on when he died; and MOUNTAIN guitarist and '70s legend Leslie West, one of Rhoads' idols.
