MR.BIG: nuevo disco "Defying Gravity"El nuevo disco de Mr Big, "Defying Gravity", se lanzará el 7 de julio de 2017 en CD, CD / DVD y Digital. Posteriormente se lanzará una edición en vinilo, que se anunciará pronto.
Eric Martin (cantante) (voz principal), Paul Gilbert (guitarras), Billy Sheehan (bajo) y Pat Torpey (batería) se reunieron con el productor Kevin Elson (quien estuvo detrás del debut de la banda en 1989) en Los Ángeles. Torpey no pudo participar en algunos temas, debido a un reciente diagnóstico de Parkinson. Matt Starr ha grabado en su lugar en gran parte del álbum. Starr también ha estado de gira con la banda durante los últimos años, con Torpey tocando un par de canciones en cada cita.
"Fue genial regresar al estudio con nuestro productor original, Kevin Elson", dice el guitarrista Paul Gilbert. "Kevin grabó todos nuestros álbumes clásicos de los años 80 y 90, e inmediatamente sentimos esa química mágica con él en "Defying Gravity". Básicamente tocamos en vivo en el estudio. A lo largo de los años, todos hemos tenido la oportunidad de experimentar con todas las técnicas de grabación posibles, pero siempre es mejor tocar juntos como una banda. La mayoría de mis solos de guitarra fueron grabados en directo con la banda. He trabajado duro en mi improvisación en los últimos años, y realmente valió la pena en este disco...".

BREAKING NEWS: Mr Big's new album, "Defying Gravity" will be released on July 7, 2017 on CD, CD/DVD and Digital. A vinyl edition will be released as well at a later date to be announced soon. An official trailer for DEFYING GRAVITY can be seen here:
https://youtu.be/JsZXXmwkP4oDEFYING GRAVITY deftly showcases that patented MR. BIG blend of crunch and melody, from the freight-train ride of opening cut "Open Your Eyes" to the harmony-laden wonderment of "Damn I'm in Love Again" to the grateful/wistful nostalgia of "1992" (recalling the days when the band was flying high atop the singles charts with their international #1 smash "To Be With You") to the barnburning slide-blues closer, "Be Kind." Overall, DEFYING GRAVITY is prime evidence that the only thing MR. BIG remains tethered to is their ongoing pursuit of achieving creative excellence.
Original members Eric Martin (singer) (lead vocals),
PAUL GILBERT (guitars), Billy Sheehan (bass) and Pat Torpey (drums) reunited with producer Kevin Elson (who was behind the boards for the band’s 1989 self-titled debut, 1991’s LEAN INTO IT and 1993’s BUMP AHEAD) for an intensive six-day recording session in Los Angeles. While Torpey was unable to perform some of the songs on DEFYING GRAVITY due to a recent diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, Matt Starr has been filling in for him on a majority of the album. Starr also been touring with the band for the past couple of years, with Torpey able to play a couple of songs at each stop.
“It was great to get back in the studio with our original producer, Kevin Elson,” says guitarist Paul Gilbert. “Kevin recorded all of our original classic albums from the ‘80s and ‘90s, and we immediately felt that magic chemistry with him on DEFYING GRAVITY. We basically played live in the studio. Over the years, we’ve all had a chance to experiment with every recording technique possible, but it’s still always the best just to play together as a band. Most of my guitar solos were tracked live with the band. I’ve worked hard on my improvisation in the last few years, and it really paid off on this record…both melodically, and on the face-melting stuff.”
DEFYING GRAVITY is the follow-up to 2014’s THE STORIES WE COULD TELL (Frontiers Music Srl), which Ultimate-Guitar.com described as “An exceptional offering of accelerated hard rock from one of the more dominant ‘supergroups’ of the late 1980s, MR. BIG return with a vengeance on THE STORIES WE COULD TELL.”
MR. BIG is gearing up for the launch their latest worldwide tour which starts May 31 in Milwaukee, WI at the Potowatami C-asino. For all the latest tour dates, fans should check the band’s official website:
http://www.mrbigsite.com“2017 is filling up quickly with tour dates all around the world,” proclaims Gilbert. “I can’t wait to play the new songs, and of course our favorites from the old days like ‘Daddy, Brother, Lover, Little Boy’ ‘Just Take My Heart,’ ‘Green Tinted Sixties Mind,’ ‘Wild World,’ and ‘To Be With You.’”
