Metal-Rules.com has issued an interview with JOE LYNN TURNER (ex-DEEP PURPLE, RAINBOW), conducted by Marko Syrjälä. The following is an excerpt from the chat:
Q: Can you tell us a little about your upcoming plans?
A: "I'm planning a couple of different projects, one of course a classic rock record, but this time I want it to be more radio friendly, even more than Second Hand Life, like really catchy tunes because I have a radio friendly voice and I'm not going to fight it anymore. I'm not a metal guy, I never was, I'm not a screamer, I mean I scream but I'm not "Spinal Tap". I just wanna make a more provocative record, something like a hit record. And I'm also gonna do an alternative album, a rock album. It's gonna be a sort of bridge between classic rock and alternative rock."
Q: Are you going to be using some of the same players as before, like Al Pitrelli or Karl Cochran for example?
A: "With Al, probably not. Al has now dropped out and he's got a studio up in the woods and he doesn't even come out of the house anymore. Karl I'll be going to Germany with to the Rock the Nations and I'll be doing Spain with Karl and Greg Smith on bass again. It'll be nice to get Greg back. So, you know, it shifts around."
