STRYPER Frontman Michael Sweet Comments On New Solo Album, Considering Side-Project With Ex-TNT Vocalist Tony Harnell
March 8, 2012, 12 years ago
STRYPER frontman Michael Sweet has checked in with the following update:
"The new solo record will have four heavy tracks, five straight rock and three ballads. It's very diverse in a very cool way - something for everyone! Rob and Tim are even on a track.Hypothetically speaking, if Tony Harnell (ex-TNT) and I were to put together a side project with Tony Harnell handling lead vocals (I'd do a few lead vocals as well), myself being the guitarist, and a name bass player (I'm thinking of someone like James Lomenzo) and a name drummer, who would you like to see Tony and I team up with? Again, hypothetically and at this point, just for conversational purposes. Give me some good feedback."
