Pues a una primera pasada, nostamal. Tampoco me han venido ganas de descorchar una botella de cava.

El otro dia puso Dregen en su facebook una entrevista que le hicieron donde dice que es posible que Backyard Babies vuelvan con otro "gran disco de classic-rock"

Uno de esos tipos que tenía completamente olvidado y prefiero que continué en la sombra.

que disco mas flojo  

hombre yo creo que el disco tiene algunas canciones majes, pero si, a mi ha sorprendido no ver al dregen griton y de solos speedicos por ninguna parte, bastante tranquilo todo y en efecto,ni rastro de star wars o alñgo parecido... de hecho el dregen que esperaba encontrarme se nota mucho más en el horns & halos de michael monroe (esos coros en Ballad of... o la guitarrilla de Half the way... )

aún con todo, imagino que intentaré ir a verle al anztokia de bilbao

Decepcionante. Tiene alguna canción buena, pero para ser un disco de 30min no se hace tan directo como esperaba.

Un 5 raspado para la liga.

A ver si me lo pongo entero...

Me lo acabo de pillar x Amazon

A primera escucha pienso lo mismo, se deja escuchar, está bien pero nada a remarcar. Me apetece más volverme a poner los últimos de Joan Jett o de los Quireboys que éste.

una escucha... flojito e inofensivo. edulcorado...

segunda escucha...

Mi opinión es bastante similar...

http://rockenberg.wordpress.com/2013/10/11/dregen-y-su-debut-en-solitario/

Con 2 escuchas me ha bastado. Lo pincharé alguna vez más peor no creo que la cosa mejore...

Me ha llegado el disco hoy  

1 escucha y no más, a ver si hacen algo BB´s...

ayer subió a su facebook un video con un sonido pésimo tocando tres acordes con su banda y ya suena con más fuerza que el disco entero:

Un horror sónico/sonoro

Me lo he puesto un par de veces más y... buf  

Me ha gustado, diferente percepción que el resto de peña, Flat Tyre On A Muddy Road me encanta y canciones como Bad Situation, One Man Army y Mojo`s Gone me tienen enganchado, buen disco.

Aquí otro entusiasta de su disco (de momento solo somos 2). Dregen ha hecho un disco q me ha sorprendido muchísimo. Pensaba q iba a grabar algo tipo backyard babies ...... Punk rock acelerado y furioso (y hay de eso también en el disco) pero aquí hay experimentación y cambio y si no q se lo digan al blues satánico con voces femeninas o al tema q grabo con Danko Jones. Creo q este disco merece mas escuchas x parte d los foreros. Solo x ese blues satánico ya merece la pena su compra.

entonces la gira de dregen es con ISE???

joder pues de puta madre!!!

pfffff poco me ha durado la alegria ...me acabo de dar cuenta de que en bilbao cae en miercoles, cuando tenía idea de que era en viernes, lo cual descarta mi presencia casi al 100% :S

He escuchado el disco una vez. No me disgustó, pero tampoco me emocionó y muchas más ganas de escucharlo no es que tenga. Alguna idea cachonda y tal, pero poca cosa más. Me gusta más lo que hace Nicke en solitario que este disco de Dregen.

Muy interesante entrevista con Dregen en donde habla de su disco en solitario, Michael Monroe (seguira con el despues de su gira promocional de su disco en solitario), de Backyard Babies (habra proximo disco  ), de Tyla, de su proxima gira con Imperial State Electric (una pena q no pasen x aqui pq prometen tocar algo de The Hellacopters  ) y unas cuantas cosas mas



Über Röck: How does it feel to finally have your own [solo] record out there?

Dregen: I have been doing this for 25 years now and I love being a musician and I love recording albums, but when you get up to your 10th album, it's still fun, of course, but it gets a little bit more like a job. I've just turned 40, and now I've released my first solo album, and I'm singing for the first time, and I feel like I'm fucking 21 years old again! I'm like a kid. Like, "Oh my God, let me see the cover!" You know, it's a new dimension, for me personally as well as for me, the musician; it lights up some sparks in me, and I'm really enjoying that.

Über Röck: There's a lot of different things going on sound-wise on this record; was that down to the influence of your producer, Pär Wiksten?

Dregen: Yeah, a lot. I co-produced the album with him. I had meetings with different producers, but when I met Pär, I knew he was the right guy. We share the same ideas about rock music. I'm a Gemini, I am born in June, so I'm slightly schizophrenic. [laughs] On one hand, I am very conservative when it comes to rock music, because I like '70s guitar sounds, and I also hate new bands trying to sound like a band from the '70s. I have been recording on vintage gear, but my solo album sounds very 2013, I think; it's the perfect mix, a blend of old stuff with new, crazy, fresh sounds. I think Pär has been an angel with this project.

Über Röck: It doesn't strike me as being a typical guitarist's album; was it intentional to make the songs paramount rather than them being a vehicle for your playing?

Dregen: Yeah, and the biggest challenge for me was handling the lead vocals. I mean, I'm pretty confident in my guitar playing, but then I tend to play in a different style to the songs. I'm not a guitar player that can play whatever, I'm not a master of the guitar, and I think that saved me, actually, because I have my own style and my own tone, and I can't really do anything else. I think that's what holds the album together; even if the songs are different, you can hear from my guitar playing that it's very much me, that it's a Dregen album.

Über Röck: What's the plan for your involvement with Michael [Monroe] going forward?

Dregen: I'm still a member of the band, and we were just shooting a video the other day in Helsinki, for the song "Stained Glass Heart", which is going to be the next single. Rich Jones, the guitarist from Ginger's band, is filling in for me on the road while I'm doing my solo tour, so I'm going to be back in the band at some point, but I don't know how long I am going to be away for… hopefully not too long.

Über Röck: I saw recently that [BACKYARD BABIES'] Nicke [Borg] turned up at one of your signing sessions. What are relations like with you guys these days? Will we ever see a new BACKYARD BABIES album?

Dregen: Oh yeah, definitely. The relations are good with the BACKYARD BABIES members, and I can promise you that there is going to be another BACKYARD BABIES album. But I'm 100% into my solo project right now, so I can't say when that might happen. We can go in tomorrow and start recording a pretty good album, but I don't see any point in doing a decent BACKYARD BABIES record. Maybe in a year or so we'll be ready to make the ultimate BACKYARD BABIES statement.

What influenced you to write tracks like 'Flat Tyre On A Muddy Road' and '6:10'? As a long-time fan, I must admit that these two surprised me somewhat - in a good way, though.

Well, ‘6:10’ is kinda like a play on words because my son is called Sixten – that’s a Swedish name. I was in New York, we were writing for the Michael Monroe album, and me and my wife had been trying to get a kid for almost 5 years, and suddenly, at 6 o’ clock in the morning, the phone rings, and it’s my wife screaming that she’s pregnant. It was actually 6.10 in the morning! In terms of the music, I was trying to create some Scandinavian sounds; it’s almost like a disco punk song… I was trying capture an Abba moment!



The lead song from the album, 'Just Like That', immediately grabbed me as a great pop/rock song, and then I saw the video, with Karl Rockfist on drums, and that just totally blew me away. What was that whole experience like?

It’s was more or less a coincidence. I have a friend who works in an office building, a tall building in Stockholm, and he is fan of Backyard Babies and The Hellacopters. He just said, you can use our roof top if you want. Stockholm is a beautiful city, and I just wanted to show the world Scandinavian rock from the top of the world!

Your son Sixten Dregen, who’ve you’ve mentioned already, crops up a few times on backing gurgles and heartbeats on the record; he must surely be the youngest backing musician in the history of rock 'n' roll? (laughing)

(laughs) Probably! With the heartbeat, he wasn’t even born yet! I was trying to allow him to make some money early on, so he is a song-writer right now… well, at least a musician.

Apart from your son’s involvement, is there anything else on the album you would single out as being a career/ musical highlight?

Song-writing wise, I am happy with the diversity of the album, and especially with the song ‘Flat Tyre On A Muddy Road’. That’s a new style for me, and one that hasn’t been shown before.

It’s just been announced that this December you will play a series of dates with Imperial State Electric. Who will feature in your solo band and what can we expect to see at the dates?

Hux (Nettermalm) on drums, Martin (Tronsson) on bass and Michel (Santunione) on guitar. They are pretty unknown guys, but they won’t be after this tour!



It must be tempting to try and get some Hellacopters action going on this tour?

Yes, most definitely.

As you mention, Rich Jones, who coincidently designed the Uber Rock logo, is taking your place, in the meantime; have you been teaching him any of your moves, he could learn how to flick a plectrum, you know!

(laughs) I don’t know, he is playing on my gear so at least he has got the sound. I might have to order a plane ticket to go and see them, and just sneak in without him knowing to check out his moves!

I recently got Tyla to do me an art commission of the '(Is It) Still Alright To Smile?' cover, which I will soon have on my wall next to the print of your art installation which you sold a few years back. Have you ever been tempted to do more art? I mean, if Paul Stanley can make money from his art anyone can surely? (laughing)

I’ve always been an artwork junkie since I was a kid. I’ve probably looked at the gatefold sleeve for ‘Kiss Alive II’ more times than I’ve have listened to the album. I still remember when I first saw the ‘Nevermind The Bollocks’ cover and was completely blown away. I had to wear fucking shades to look at that artwork (laughing). In rock music, I love the whole package; I love the song-writing, I love the great playing, and I love the great album covers. But I’m not doing jobs for other bands at the moment, because I’m so busy with my own stuff.

And of course Tyla has just done a new T-shirt design for you, too. Have you ever been tempted to do another acoustic album with him? Or just write some songs with him? I'd really be interested in hearing that especially after the spark you added to 'Horns And Halos'....

That would be amazing. I was actually talking to Tyla a few weeks back, and yeah, that would be fun, a lot of fun. I have never really done much acoustic stuff, the most I have done is ‘Flat Tyre On A Muddy Road’, and I saved that up. In another 20 years, when I’m 60, I’ll start doing my acoustic shit!

Talking of possible collaborations if you could pick one artist or band who you could work with, who you haven’t, who would it be and why?

I would love to do something with The Beastie Boys or maybe Jack White, that would be amazing, I think. Something really good would come out of that, I’m sure.




I just wanted to finish by asking you what you would hope to achieve with 'Dregen' the album. I mean, if we were to sit down in a year's time, what would you like to have achieved with this record?

I have a space on my wall that is just white at the moment, I would love to see a gold album hanging there or maybe a Grammy (laughs).

Dregen, thank you once again for talking with Uber Rock. May your M.O.J.O continue to rise, and we look forward to seeing you out on the road in December

Thank you so much!

Aqui esta el teaser del nuevo clip de Dregen



El videoclip entero se puede ver en una web sueca.

Aqui esta el link

Parece ser q Dregen se ha quedado completamente CALVO                                        

Ladies and gentlemen: Here is my new video and single "Flat Tyre On A Muddy Road".
And here is the answer to all of you who have asked about why I've been wearing a hat or bandana for the last six months:
-I became a dad.
-I was writing and recording my solo-album.
-I was writing and recording the Michael Monroe album.
-I wrote a 330 pages autobiography.
-I was touring.
-All at the same time! So my hair fell off. Overnight. All of it. The doctor call it "Post Traumatic Stress Disorder".
It will grow back though. And luckily I don't play or write with my hair It could have been worse. I could have lost my fingers.
Hope you dig the video! Please spread it! ((( Post by DR3G3N ))



Aqui ya estaba calvo???? Joder, es duro ver a Dregen sin pelo  

Post Traumatic Stress Disorder

Hombre, como tema de intro o de outro está bien. Como versión del "Walk This Way", pues le ha quedado un poco rara  

Tampoco me extrañá que se haya quedado pelado. En persona y en fotos el tío siempre parece tener el pelo grasiento y sudao  

ostia si que da cosica verle la cabeza como una bola de billar  

y buena la referencia al walk this way jaja no habia caido hasta que lo has dicho perry!

Ése riff inicial no sé si tomármelo como un homenaje o un plagio 

...sabemos si hay o no banda telonera para el sr.Dregen ???...si es así, a que hora está previsto que suenen los riffs del Babie ???...

bigsubi escribió:...sabemos si hay o no banda telonera para el sr.Dregen ???...si es así, a que hora está previsto que suenen los riffs del Babie ???...

Tiene pinta que no hay teloneros. Y suponiendo como pone en la entrada y en la web del Razz que abren puertas a las 21:00, me imagino que para las 21:30 habrá empezado.

...ok...gracias Rizzy...

En Madrid no hay teloneros. Lo sé porque hay cierta banda de Madrid (...  ) que ha estado a puntito de serlo, pero la sala tiene ahora mismo un límite de horario super estricto y no había manera. En otros sitios ni idea, pero a estas alturas ya lo habrían anunciado.

1 hora y cuarto de un correcto bolo, pero tampoco como para tirar cohetes.

Ya está en Bilbao.
