Rest In Peace - Thanks To Cozy ( a Japanese tribute to Cozy Powell )

Ramai dari korang pun macam aku kot, membesar ngan Rainbow.
dan kalo Rainbow tu tentu korang tahu dan minat ramai anggota dorang yang tukar ganti tu, termasuk Cozy Powell dan ikut perkembangan dorang sampai skarang.(untuk yang masih hidup la )

Cozy Powell, aku tak pernah tengok dia main live, pasal masa Black Sabbath Forbidden datang tu dia dah keluar band Black Sabbath zaman Tony Martin tapi Bobby Rodinelli yang ganti, pun Rainbow punya drummer jugak si Bobby Rodinelli ni untuk zaman Joe Lynn Turner.




Bila Cozy Powell meninggal eksiden dan dia tengah pakai handphone/carphone ok masa driving tu, dengan itu jugak Rainbow Rising Reunion terkubur, walau tu jam, ada cerita duit yang banyak giler ditawar oleh pasaran Jepun untuk Rainbow Rising nye line up bersatu. Dan Ronnie James Dio pun dah mati...so forget it la, layan je la Ritchie Blackmore ngan bini nye band.
Dan ramai dari korang pun membesar ngan rok jepun.

Jadi ni tribute anggota2 Anthem ( dan yang penyanyi Powernude tu lepas tu pun dia pun join Anthem ), Earthshaker dan band2 Jepun lain untuk Cozy Powell. Tribute ni ialah dorang main macam2 lagu dari lain2 band yang Cozy Powell join dan rakam. Lagu2 dari Jeff Beck Group, Gary Moore, Rainbow ( of course ), Michael Schenker Group dan Black Sabbath.






Thanks to Cozy and Thanks to Japanese Translation webpage that Google provides, I am happy to exactly know who is who and who is playing which and whatever. The cd packaging is in Japanese for the details.
so here it is the full details of each Japanese rock musicians that plays on this enjoyable Cozy Powell tribute cd.

Anyway my short review opinion.
-Love that this cd has the Anthem members on it including two vocalists who sings in Anthem.
-Love the Blindman singer on David's Coverdale Whitesnake Slide It In. Best ever.
-Kill The King is always best started with " Somewhere Over The Rainbow / wizard of oz " thingy.
-Love the instrumentals especially Killers.. that can go on and on and on, and I still enjoy it.
-Love Headless Cross... Really love the Headless Cross of Black Sabbath on this cd.
-Love all the three Rainbow songs... Stargazer, they really did the full ending of Ronnie James Dio's " My Eyes Are Bleeding " and all that to infinity.
-Love Overture 1812. This is the famous Cozy Powell trademark and signature drum solo played to the classical piece. Up to now, Rainbow bootlegs are actively being shared by fans worldwide...and its always nice to hear Cozy Powell's drum solo with this "Tchaikovsky" Overture 1812 in it. Rock fans are lucky because they are exposed to all these classical stuffs.
