Wallner/Vain - Guest Musicians Revealed
Official press release
Los Angeles based hard rock artists Will Wallner (guitars) & Vivien Vain (vocalis) announce their debut album featuring an all-star line up of guest musicians. The duo have written and recorded several songs and are in the process of recording the final tracks for their debut release.
The project began when Wallner/Vain had a chance meeting with Carmine Appice (Blue Murder, King Kobra) and Vinny Appice (Black Sabbath, Dio) at the Rainbow Bar & Grill on the Sunset Strip. Half of the songs feature Carmine and half feature Vinny. Bassist Tony Franklin (Blue Murder, The Firm) plays alongside Carmine which reunites the duo who played together in the critically acclaimed Blue Murder. Vinny performs with bassist Jimmy Bain (Rainbow, Dio) who had previously played together in the classic line-up of Dio. Rudy Sarzo (Ozzy Osbourne, Quiet Riot) also plays on several tracks with Vinny.
Guest musician Tony Carey (Rainbow, EBC) also plays on two tracks and reunites Carey with Jimmy Bain who last played together on Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow album Rising. Mixing the album is industry pro Gary Tole who in addition to working with Bon Jovi and Metallica has worked with David Lee Roth and Joe Lynn Turner.
Finally a song from Will Wallner's previous project with keyboardist Derek Sherinian (Dream Theater, Black Country Communion) will be included on the album. The song was produced by Derek and features Brian Tichy (Whitesnake, Pride & Glory) on drums with Tony Franklin.
The album will be released sometime in 2011. For more information and samples go to this location.

Name-dropping overkill.

Will Wallner also plays a guitar, the same instrument that Tony Iommi, Yngwie Malmsteen, Ritchie Blackmore, Steve Vai, Marty Friedman, Glenn Tipton, Dave Murray, John Petrucci, Chuck Schuldiner, and Paul Gilbert play.

Listening to the samples this sounds boring as hell, i thought it may be interesting what with several hundred name dropped muscians but i could go and listen to *insert gerneric hard rock/metal band here* and it's sound the same. Not something i'll be buying.

Wow - this is getting a lot of negative feedback. Bottom line is we are new, young musicians and these are the people who are playing on our record. It's not name dropping when every single name is featured on the album. It would be wrong to leave any of those names off the press release. I know this is just internet banter so it all cool.

Thanks Wilkinson! Of course anyone's opinion of our music is valid so if you don't like it that's your opinion. I honestly don't feel we are name dropping cos each name we mentioned has worked hard for this project. Similarly we have spent over a year working on this. Music is our passion and we want to make the best music to the highest quality possible. Don't write it off just cos its got some big names playing with brand new artists.

Its all good, to be honest we got them just by asking. We live in LA and often run into these guys, we introduce ourselves and send them a demo to see if they wanna be part of our album. Everyone we wanted said they would do it which is really inspiring for us. If you don't like these samples maybe the rest of the album might interest you, they're way more heavy. Cheers Will
