Jeff Scott Soto says: Do you still keep in touch with Yngwie Malmsteen, and if yes, have you ever had any discussions about a Rising Force reunion, even for one show?
Soto: "Not really, we run into each other from time to time at the NAMM show in LA or on tour somewhere but rarely if ever speak on the phone. There are no plans for any RISING FORCE reunions, don't know that I can sing that stuff anymore!"

Chris Brooks: album two part two

Chris Brooks 2nd album writing diary - Updated May 20,



Chris says:
Okay, so onwards the writing goes. I've been listening to quite a bit of fusion this last month and it has brought to the fore a few ideas that,whilst not being fusion, have a certain groove and chordal vibe that I've explored in my own jamming but not really on a CD like "The Master Plan". Chordal exploration and coming up with my own voicings for certain things has been one of the growth areas of writing for me lately and it's nice to learn new stuff as I go through the process of writing this next album. I'm definitely a rock guitarist and not a fusion player, because when I'm writing these kinds of idea my ears are still asking "When does the mega-chunky bridge and ripping solo come in?" :)

So there are two new songs that are almost complete - I'm just tidying up structures and endings, and then I figure it would be best to start getting into some chunky material before I slide into elevatorsville! I'm happy to say though that my writing is a matter of "anything goes as long as it's good" at the moment.

If you want me to explore something for this next album or even re-explore something I've scratched the surface of before .., don't hesitate to post your comments.
