HAIL!, the all-star band featuring bassist David Ellefson (ex-MEGADETH), guitarist Andreas Kisser (SEPULTURA), vocalist Tim "Ripper" Owens (YNGWIE MALMSTEEN, ex-JUDAS PRIEST and ICED EARTH) and chameleon drummer Mike Portnoy (DREAM THEATER), played their first US show last night (January 26th) at BB Kings in New York City.
As a special treat for New York, SAVATAGE/TRANS SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA guitarist Chris Caffery joined the guys on smoking renditions of ‘Lights Out’ by UFO, ‘Metal Church’ by METAL CHURCH (which featured an excellent guitar solo trade off between Chris and Andreas), and Judas Priest’s ‘Green Manalishi’. Bobby Blitz from OVERKILL was such a fitting voice for AC/DC’s ‘Highway To Hell’ and ‘TNT’, and MOTÖRHEAD's ‘Overkill’, and ANTHRAX' Frank Bello was a ball full of energy for KISS’ ‘Cold Gin’ and the rendition of Anthrax’ ‘Got The Time’.
