WWIII Reunion Jam To Take Place This Weekend
April 18, 2008Vocalist Mandy Lion (WWIII, WICKED ALLIANCE) has issued the following update:
"If you are in the area this Saturday, April 19th, then maybe you could stop by and listen to a little jam session at Harper's Bar and Grill (1933 Business Center) in Northridge, California. Members of WARRANT, BLACK SABBATH, DIO, SCORPIONS and RAINBOW will make some noise. I will also have a little reunion jam with my original WWIII lineup, including Vinny Appice (HEAVEN AND HELL, ex-BLACK SABBATH, WWIII) and Jimmy Bain (ex-DIO, WWIII) that night. There are no rehearsals and we haven't played together in years so it will be interesting to see how we will stumble our way through a few songs that night."
Lion recently collaborated with music producer Mickey James (of CRISS ANGEL fame) on the next MANDY LION album, to be released later in the year.
Mandy Lion is currently working on a full-length DVD containing videos, live footage, and interviews with all past and present musical partners, including the likes of George Lynch (DOKKEN, LYNCH MOB),Vinny Appice (BLACK SABBATH, DIO),Jimmy Bain (RAINBOW, DIO),Jake E. Lee (OZZY OSBOURNE, BADLANDS),James Kottak (SCORPIONS) and Mikkey Dee (KING DIAMOND, MOTRHEAD),among others. He is also planning on featuring video submissions from fans explaining in their "best, funniest, naughtiest, most outrageous and most creative ways" how or why they like Lion's music. Says Mandy, "Or you can tell me how you discovered me, what you would like to say if we met in person. Or just anything that comes to mind as long as it is entertaining and unique. The funniest, sexiest, most creative videos will be included on the upcoming DVD."
WWIII's first album in 12 years, "When God Turned Away", was released in 2003. The CD featured Lion, co-producer Joe Floyd on guitar, Geezer Montez on bass and Sledge on drums.
