Sounds good. This is actually the first time i hear anything from Paul Wrightson since Arena. And John Mitchell on ... Vocals? Not on guitars?

Anyways, thanx for the info.  8)

John Mitchell is an excellent singer. Listen to Kino or The Urbane and more recently It Bites!

The Butterfly Man

On http://www.myspace.com/blindego there are 2 samples now. One features John Mitchell on vocals, and in the other sample it's Mr. Wrichtson delivering the vocals! Go check it out!

Nice rocky tunes, Tom. Like what i hear. Moon & Sun is very  *horns*. Well, sort off.  ;)

Am interested.  8)

Hmmm this sounds very promising!

John M sounds VERY different from his Kino, Urbane and Frost vocals. A bit more Ray Wilson-ish. Very funny to hear, actually.
And the lyrics he sings are also very different from what he would normally sing.

And to hear Paul Wrightson is really cool, I haven't heared anything by him except for what he did by Arena.
Once again the lyrics he sings are also very different from what he would normally sing with Arena.
And the way he sings with much less drama.

All good!
I REALLY look forward to this!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

The Butterfly Man

The official website is now updated! It has some interesting features, like lyrics and a few samples. Go check it out!

Has anybody succeeded in getting their hands on a copy? Here in Holland it's impossible, so yesterday I decided to order it on the band's website. Ah I'm so eager to hear it at last!

Cheers, Tom

Yeah... I haven't seen it in Holland either... Not even in my prog store in town... :(
But I think I can ask the good man to order it for me.

And I think I'll do that!

Cyborg-Frask

Hmmm Too bad the CD is hard to get....

but this will probably cheer you guys up:

They will be in 'De Boerderij' on 12 mei....together with Sylvan. Ticket will cost € 17.50.
VERY worth to give this a try

WOW, thank you Cyborg-Frask, you just made my day!!!  *horns* *horns* *horns*
I always wanted to see Sylvan, but they only seemed tot do gigs in Germany!

Yeahhhhhhhh!!!!!

12 May eh?
Cool!

Shall we go to that gig too Cyborg-Frask? ;D
That's gonna be a lot then... But It could be fun of course.

Just a thought.

I would really be surprised to see Paul, John and John together on one stage..... I'd think that's very unlikely to happen, so if it does, I'd be more than happy  :D

Why is it unlikely?
They did it with Arena's 10th birthday.

JJ II

Yes, and I'd love them to do it again. Did you read the biography?  ;)

I think 23 minutes for an unrehearsed encore is something different than an entire tour....
But I would really, really hope that the Reunion was the last step to reconciliation between them.

The Butterfly Man

Ladies and gentlemen,

I just received my copy of the album in the mail, so I'm gonna listen to it tonight! *horns* *horns* *horns*

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Heya, had my first chance to listen to the first 20some minutes, and it sounds really great so far :D

It IS great! I just finished listening and my first impression is very positive! It rocks!!! *horns*

Agreed - it rocks and its fab  ;D

Its my most played CD at the moment. The tracks with John Mitchell vocals are probably my favourites. But I do keep finding myself singing Artist Manque  ::)

I've heard Blind Ego a couple of times now.
And although I REALLY like "Moon And Sun", "Open Sore" and "Forbidden To Remain", I have still to get myself into it.
It's totally NOT what I expected. And in fact, I'm a bit disappointed. But maybe this album is a grower for me.

Actually, some songs are better when you listen more to it.
Still I prefer the ones with Paul on it.



To be continued...

Hi all,

I saw Paul yesterday on Heathrow-airport checking in to his flight to Hamburg for the first gig. Regrettably we we in a different line (coming back from South-Africa), so I couldn't say 'hi' to him.

John Jowitt and Paul Wrightson had their first gig together with Blind Ego yesterday. Any reports?

What a funny coincidense, I mean, London Heathrow isn't exactly a small airport...

Are you going to see Blind Ego together with Sylvan next saturday in 'De Boerderij'? I know I will! :)
