Foreigner's Kelly Hansen, "I'm no puppet!"
Former Hurricane frontman, Kelly Hansen who took on the extremely challenging role of replacing one Lou Gramm in the band Foreigner, has spoken to UK Classic Rock magazine to make clear, that he is NOT, lone original member and band leader, Mick Jones' puppet!
Lead vocalist Hansen refuted claims that guitarist Mick Jones tells him how to interpret the band’s classic songs such as "Cold As Ice" and "I Want To Know What Love Is."
“I half-read an interview with [original Foreigner vocalist] Lou Gramm where he assumed that Mick must be telling me how to sing the songs,” Hansen told Classic Rock.
“Well, it can’t be further from the truth. Mick and I are of a like mind about what the songs need. I’m trying to perform them in a sincere way, from the heart. Just to clear the air on that point.”
Jones spoke up to also say, “As far as Kelly or any other vocalist is concerned, it’s not simply a matter of being able to sing the songs,”
“I detected something in Kelly from the beginning. I could tell right there and then that he wasn’t just singing the songs, he was interpreting them. It wasn’t karaoke; he definitely got into the songs and made them come alive.”
Interesting stuff indeed, read more on this here: www.classicrockmagazine.com/news/foreigner-vocalist-hansen-im-not-mick-jones-puppet/
"Can’t Slow Down," Foreigner’s first new studio album in 15 years, gets a European release through EarMusic/Edel on March 1.
JANUS CONFIRMS TOUR DATES WITH CHEVELLE STARTING FEBRUARY 8 IN SUPPORT OF CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED ‘RED RIGHT RETURN’ DEBUT ALBUM.
“EYESORE” CONTINUES TO SOAR UP THE ACTIVE ROCK CHARTS
January 7, 2010 -- Revolver has described JANUS as a band that sounds like “Deftones getting Disturbed because their Chevelle stalled when the alt-metallers were just 30 Seconds To Mars.”
The Chicago band----David Scotney (vocals), Johnny Salazar (drums), Alan Quitman (bass), Mike Tyranski (guitar/programming) — will soon be able to show everyone that they live up to such a compliment. Once a current trek of headlining shows concludes, JANUS will perform a month’s worth of dates with Chevelle starting February 8 in Boston at the House of Blues. They’ve been touring non-stop to promote their debut album, RED RIGHT RETURN, since its release September 22, 2009 on REALID Records, through Warner Music Group’s Independent Label Group.
The album’s explosive first single, “Eyesore,” is currently spinning on over 50 Rock radio stations nationwide, and is approaching Top 20 on the Active Rock charts. A video for the track—directed by Noah Shulman (Sleepless City Productions)--can now be seen on the band’s Myspace and YouTube pages.
“This musically versatile band is locked and loaded for a nationwide takeover…This band is a hard rock dream team.” -- News 4U
“There are a few bands, given the opportunity, could take the radio by storm. JANUS is a perfect example of this type of band. If they were given the chance, and played on some larger radio stations alongside all of our alternative ‘favorites’ (sound-alikes), they could earn themselves hordes of fans.” -- http://www.absolutepunk.net/
“There’s no need to beat around the bush here--RED RIGHT RETURN is a near flawless affair…the group accomplished with RED RIGHT RETURN what many bands strive for their entire careers. From the tight and pinpoint precision of their musicianship to their enviable and poetic penmanship, Janus are years and years ahead of the pack. RED RIGHT RETURN is an orgasm to 30 Seconds to Mars fans seeking the next generation, so all you bandwagon folks leftover from “The Kill” would be damned not to take a flyer. I’ll digress and give Janus the floor, because they not only deserve your undivided attention, but also earn it with RED RIGHT RETURN.” -- http://www.tunelab.com/
“RED RIGHT RETURN is phenomenal, a massive piece of near perfect modern rock sensibilities. This masterpiece is truly driven by outstanding hooks fueled by frontman David Scotney’s vocal multi-tasking…This is as captivating and engrossing as rock records come--it is polished and well produced. There is no doubt that the boys put a lot of time into Red Right Return, and it shows…This is a record that will stick with you, a characteristic many rock albums sadly do not boast. It shouldn’t be long before this Chicago quartet rightly takes their place atop modern rock’s throne. Hell, with how good RED RIGHT RETURN is, they very well might be considered rock music’s ‘it’ band right now. Janus is one of the best modern rock bands on the scene today, and with their talent and an album like RED RIGHT RETURN, these guys might be an unstoppable force.” -- http://www.chicagoathome.com/
