JOE LYNN TURNER: New Audio Interview Available

March 27, 2008

A brand new audio interview with legendary hard rock vocalist Joe Lynn Turner (RAINBOW, DEEP PURPLE, YNGWIE MALMSTEEN) conducted by Tori Thomas of 95.1 WZZO in Allentown, Pennsylvania has been posted online at this location.

In a recent interview with Glam-Metal.com, Joe Lynn Turner stated about the possibility of a RAINBOW reunion with him on vocals, "My relationship with [RAINBOW mastermind] Ritchie [Blackmore] is good but he seems professionally and personally committed to BLACKMORE'S NIGHT and that genre of music which he absolutely loves. He is probably living his dream and I admire him for having the guts years ago to branch out and be so successful with that concept. Because of his devotion to BLACKMORE'S NIGHT, I am not sure what he thinks about reforming RAINBOW. If he were to ever do so, I would love to join the reunion and work with Blackmore again."

When asked if there will be any new music coming from BIG NOIZE, the new supergroup featuring Joe Lynn Turner, guitarist Carlos Cavazo (QUIET RIOT),drummer Vinny Appice (DIO, BLACK SABBATH),bassist Phil Soussan (OZZY OSBOURNE, BILLY IDOL) and Teddy "Zig Zag" Andreadis (GUNS N' ROSES),Joe said, "Yes, we do plan to write and record some originals down the road. I am not sure when they would be done or released and I know I keep mentioning the schedule situation but that is really the only thing holding us back. And when I say that, I mean we are involved in other endeavors that we love just as much. I have to write and record two albums this year ('Sunstorm' and solo) as it is and my summer is jam-packed with live dates."
