On Rock Meets Classic
Beyrodt: "It's the dream of every musician who loves classic rock. The idea came from Mat Sinner (Primal Fear, Voodoo Circle) and the promoter Manfred; they are long time friends. I'm lucky to be a in the band and play with people like Alice Cooper, Ian Gillan, Steve Lukather, Paul Rodgers, Chris Thompson, Midge Ure, Joe Lynn Turner... it's unbelievable. I've been doing it for 10 years now, and to be on stage with all these guys is amazing. I mean, every guitar player can play 'Smoke On The Water' but I play it with Ian Gillan (laughs)."
Locked & Loaded will be available as digipak & ltd. colored vinyl. Pre-order here.
