In 2013, he sang a few songs in a guest role on the Avantasia album The Mystery of Time, released in March. Before I listened to Belly Of The Beast, my experience of Joe Lynn Turner was when he was in Rainbow and then Deep Purple, and I remember a singer with an impeccable, smooth voice. While sometimes skirting the odd social issue, his lyrics remained well and truly in the accessible and largely radio-friendly wing of this beautifully broad church that is Heavy Metal. It’s all about the ritual and the Serpent God of Fear, which is Lucifer,” he notes. “Who creates the spell upon Mankind. If you believe in good, you must believe in evil. It’s the Yin and Yang of life. They must co-exist, it’s simple physics. He was also a member of the touring band Big Noize from 2008 to 2012. The band featured Turner alongside guitarist Carlos Cavazo, bassist Phil Soussan, and drummer Vinny Appice. In the fall of 2008, the band traveled to Iraq and Kuwait to entertain Multi National Forces. Drummer, Simon Wright, replaced Appice temporarily due to other touring commitments.

George Gakis & Very Special Friends – Too Much Ain't Never Enough (2012) – "Street of Broken Dreams"Your new album, Belly Of The Beast , was made with Swedish producer and death-metal musician Peter Tägtgren, and it’s surprisingly heavy stuff for you. It happened completely by accident, but some of the best things happen by accident,” Joe says. “I was not very familiar with Peter’s bands Pain and Hypocrisy, but when we met, I loved his personality, and I felt like we had chemistry together. On the writing side, you have to change and grow to mature. I had this in me. As far as pushing into a heavy vein, Peter said, I adapted my voice, which is the truth. It’s still me, though. I kept it dirty, gritty, and Metal.” Joe Lynn Turner and Peter Tägtgren days ago Two Door Cinema Club have announced a massive concert for summer 2024 with a show at Custom House Square, Belfast on Thursday 15th August 2024.

I am free to do what I want. I’m a grown man, and I’m getting to be an older man. Many men in this business eventually come to the decision to continue to wear hair or shave their head which is very fashionable today. A number of the songs are apocalyptic in lyrical content and equally apocalyptic in musical delivery! He has taken a look into the pit of despair and written about the breakdown in society that the worse in humanity can show us. L.A. Blues Authority vol. 5 – Cream of the Crop (1994 compilation of covers by Blues Bureau International) – "Sittin' on Top of the World" Thank god my parents gave me the support I needed. But anger was a great motivator, and I had more balls than brains. I wasn’t going to let this stop me. So instead of hiding I went on to the biggest stages in the world. That’s quite insane when you think about it.In February 2015, Turner was a guest singer, alongside the winner Slavin Slavchev, in the final of the third season of X Factor Bulgaria. [12] They sang together " Street of Dreams". This chapter saw him make a crucial personal decision too. Diagnosed with alopecia at three-years-old, he began to wear a wig at 14-years-old, dealing with “emotional and psychological damage from cruel bullying in school.” So, he wore the hairpiece throughout his career until finally deciding to go without it. After goodness knows how many decades as a musician, he’s still sounding original and fresh, and yes, hungry. This album has an energy that you’d expect from, well, someone much younger, and it’s a revelation to hear. After all that heartbreak you experienced as a kid, how did you find the confidence to become a singer? The album finishes with ‘Requiem’, another slow moving piece where JLT once again shows us he can really sing. The entire album really highlights JLTs vocal range and the musicians support the vocals with some powerful polished performances, lets hear and see this on the road please!
