A little more on this...
Big In Japan: Our Interview With Terry IlousTerry Illous has always been the lead singer of XYZ and is also the current lead singer of Great White. He's also a badass because he's enlisted the help of some major hard rock players (members of Guns N' Roses, AC/DC, Dokken, Whitesnake, Sabbath,etc.) to put on a charity benefit and record a charity single for the American Red Cross Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami Relief efforts. How cool is that?
How's the concert going to work? It seems like you've got a guitarist from this band, a bassist from this band, a drummer. Are they just going to go up in groups of five? How's the concert going to work?We've known each other for years. We've done benefits together. Because we have jammed together, we pretty much know which songs we should do. For example, I'm doing a song with Simon Wright, who was the drummer for AC/DC, and another one with Chris Slade, also of AC/DC. Because I have played with those guys, I know what song we will do. Someone else is going to do a song with Vinny Appice from Black Sabbath.
I know Steven Adler from Guns N' Roses is going to be playing with Dizzy [Reed] from Guns N' Roses also.
I have a little kid named Dylan. The kid is twelve years old and just got a record deal with Capitol Records, I'm not sure. He will be singing with Steven Adler and Dizzy Reed! He's actually a web sensation, a little singer, a monster singer. He's doing "Sweet Child O' Mine."The '80s Rockers For Japan benefit concert is an all-ages show that will be held on April 16th, 2011 at Harper's in Tarzana, California. If you are unable to make it out to see the show in person, you can watch a live streaming broadcast provided by Front Row Entertainment. Proceeds from the show will be donated to the American Red Cross.
