Ah, look at George pandering to me! What's next, vocal support for collectivist big government intervention and Keynes deficit spending? 
That bass solo is kick-ass and says everything about Glenn's gung ho yet skillful style. The whole album is great, Glenn blossoms from Doug Aldrich's (ex-Whitesnake) playing (less overblown than with Whitesnake's cinemascope sonic onslaught) and co-writing plus it's great to hear Deen Castronovo's (ex-Journey) drumming and backing vocals. And the immensely wealthy Herr Lowy - a Richard Branson type figure - pays for it all, what's not to like?
I think we know the answer to that first question...
But seriously, manufactured and bankrolled like a Geritol boy band or not, this combination of players hit on something that sounds better (and more authentic) to me than Glenn's last (other?) foray into a quasi supergroups (BCC). Also, you answered my question as to
how this was being produced. I hope Mr. Lowy has the scratch and desire to let this last a while.
I thought of you when I stumbled across this little ad/teaser for the new album and the longer it played the more funny I found it (it's hard not to see Spinal Tap in every hard rock band's documentary), but the more interested I got as well.
And Deen is like almost every decent drummer I ever worked with. The ADHD is fizzling over the brim with him.
Ok, this ... is ... different ...
Perhaps he should get a haircut though for his new Michael Bolton role. With his post-Sopranos look, he could also apply for a job with Little Steven & The Disciples of Soul.
Like Little Steven, all he'd really have to do is change his wig.
