I went over to Glenn's house about six times and we hashed out some ideas - pretty rough, loose ideas. Regarding the songwriting process for BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION's fifth album and how it compared to that on the band's previous efforts, Joe said: "This was the same. And Glenn called me and said, 'I can't do anything until this DEAD DAISIES situation goes one way or the next.' And I said, 'Fair enough.' So when Glenn left THE DEAD DAISIES, that was kind of the green light for us to get back together." "I was the one that kind of initiated the text, be, like, 'Hey, is there anybody interested in doing a fifth one?'" he said. Everybody brings a very specific thing to the table, and it's a special band."Īccording to Joe, he brought the BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION members back together to make the follow-up to "BCCIV", which was released in September 2017 and marked BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION's first studio effort since 2013's "Afterglow". "Įarlier that same month, Bonamassa told "Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk" about the new BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION album: "The thing about BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION, whether you like the way we sound or not, when we all get together, it has a very specific thing that it does. But what I can't do is say we're gonna do this, this, and that… I've done it before and it didn't happen, so I won't… I'm glad Joe has he wants to do something like that, because I think we all wanna set some time out to do that, and we're hoping that we can play in North America. He continued: "Would I like to play some shows with Joe, Derek and Jason? Of course I would. So my priority is playing my own music with my own band and doing what I need to do to have fun on my own." What I want you to know, and I want everybody to know, that, of course, we want to play with BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNITY, but Joe's schedule is crazy busy, and we all get it. And Joe has been very busy from the get-go of his career. And I can't wait for you to hear it."Īs for BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION's touring plans, Glenn said: "If you go back 10 years when I wanted to… well, we all wanted to play more shows. And we had a great time at Sunset Sound in Hollywood. It's a really, really great vibe in the band. The vibe in the camp has never been so friendly and fun. We followed a vibe of the first four albums, so it it's an extension, but it's really a progression, if you can call it a progression. There's not too many left turns, there's nothing happening that's weirdly different. Killer 100% real live kick ass rock! Loved these guys since day 1."ĭuring an appearance on an August 2023 episode of SiriusXM's "Trunk Nation With Eddie Trunk", Hughes stated about the musical direction of the new BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION material: "It sounds like BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION. Trunk added in his post: "Had a chance to listen to them play today live and have heard the album. The timetable for the arrival of BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION's first LP in seven years was revealed by SiriusXM's Eddie Trunk, who shared on social media that he spent "some time" Friday afternoon (January 26) in Los Angeles filming an interview to promote the album. It was all important.BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION, the supergroup featuring legendary vocalist/bassist Glenn Hughes ( DEEP PURPLE, BLACK SABBATH) guitarist Joe Bonamassa, drummer Jason Bonham ( LED ZEPPELIN) and keyboardist Derek Sherinian ( DREAM THEATER, ALICE COOPER, BILLY IDOL),will release its long-awaited fifth album in June. “That’s why when it came time to put the band together I was just obsessed with the t-shirts and the stage show as much as with the music. “It all seemed like one giant thing to me,” he told Banger Films in 2004. The makeup doesn’t always show up in videos, but it does onstage even if at times the band members get absorbed into the intense lighting and video backdrops.įor Zombie, image and presentation have always imperative. It all makes sense given Zombie’s lifelong fascination with horror and watching his parents at work as carnies during his childhood. His bandmates have drawn looks from the likes of evil clowns to the undead. From Hellbilly Deluxe through to the more recent The Lunar Injection Kool Aid Eclipse Conspiracy, he has tweaked his painted looks drawing inspiration from sources like Frankenstein, German Expressonism, and Charles Manson. When he went solo, he just kept expanding on that and eventually got into making movies and comics. Ever since he began going for the cool ghoul rocker look, Rob Zombie has emphasized the theatrical.
