GRAHAM BONNET Revisits Blockbuster Hit 'Since You Been Gone' with Help from Guitar Virtuoso MARTY FRIEDMAN

In a collaboration that’s sure to have metal heads raising horns in salute, renowned vocalist Graham Bonnet and guitar maestro Marty Friedman have joined forces to breathe new life into the classic rock anthem “Since You Been Gone.” This iconic single dates back to 1976, but its best-known version was recorded in 1979 by Bonnet during his tenure with Ritchie Blackmore’s megalithic metal band…

Thursday, March 7: Impellitteri, "Goodnight and Goodbye" [ENCORE]

The Today’s Metal Tune tumblr posted its first song March 5, 2014.  Amazingly, 10 YEARS LATER we are still here and going strong.  A huge THANK YOU to everyone that has followed, liked, reblogged and commented over the past 10 years, this tumblr has been a passion project that took on a life of its own and far exceeded humble expectations, and that is all because so many have listened and gotten in on the fun.  To celebrate the past decade, we are revisiting some favorites from the early years.  Stay Metal everyone, there’s much more still to come…

Stand in Line saw Graham Bonnet team up with his fifth guitar hero and mixed late ‘80s LA hair metal with ridiculous shredding and Bonnet’s incomparable vocals and unique POV.  “Goodnight and Goodbye” fit in well with the scene at the time, while also offering commentary on the emptiness of that same scene.  Bonnet was an interesting lyricist, offering a specificity that made his words feel lived-in, and the words here read as celebratory at first, but by the end felt rather lonely, especially when paired with Bonnet’s delivery.  Meanwhile, Chris Impellitteri claimed he tried to play like Ritchie Blackmore on this album in order to give it a more Rainbow-like feel and fit Bonnet’s voice better, but he really sounded like an even more coked-out Yngwie Malmsteen.  Still, “Goodnight and Goodbye” and much of Stand in Line rocked out convincingly, even if Chris Impellitteri’s shredding frequently crossed over into absurdity.  It was the sound of a time and place long gone, and a scene that’s looked back on with both derision and fondness.
