SIMON McBRIDE live mit Band in neuem Video "Don't Dare" - neues Album "The Fighter" Ende Mai | VÖ: 27.05.22

Mit "The Fighter" kommt ein exzellentes Hard Rock-Album auf uns zu: sehr griffige Riffs, melodische Bögen, coole Refrains, leidenschaftlich gesungen, aber niemals anbiedernd.
Und als Sterne blitzen sehr coole Soli auf, die niemals überdrehen oder nur schnelle Scales dreschen, also kein "gniedeln"! Simon ist gitarrentechnisch einfach brilliant, aber stets songdienlich.

Für alle Musikfans, die es noch nicht mitbekommen haben: In den folgenden Monaten wird Simon McBride den wegen schwer wiegender familiärer Ereignisse verhinderten Steve Morse auf der anstehenden DEEP PURPLE Tour vertreten. 

Hier die offizielle Presseverlautbarung:

"Today, Deep Purple announce that, due to a family matter, Steve Morse will be taking a temporary hiatus from Deep Purple live shows but remains a full member of the band.
Steve’s replacement for the upcoming live shows in May, June and July 2022 will be guitarist Simon McBride, who has previously toured with both Ian Gillan and Don Airey amongst others.

Statement from Steve Morse:
Hello, everybody.  I've just done a few gigs with the band, after years (!?) of not playing live.  It's a bittersweet, wonderful time to get together. However, my dear wife Janine is currently battling cancer. At this point, there are so many possible complications and unknowns, that whatever time we have left in our lives, I simply must be there with her.
I am not leaving the band - I hope that after she gets a clean bill of health, I can re-join the tour. However, I am not seeing any likely situation which would allow me to do overseas touring in the immediate future. I continue to be privileged to be a part of the Purple family tree, and also to get to feel the amazing support of so many loyal fans and the rest of the band.
There's a certified world class guitarist ready to take over for the live shows whom everybody will surely be happy to hear. 
I appreciate all your sincere prayers for Janine and thank you all.
