I'll join that club with you.

Poor Jeff

I've only got some pics of me with Jeff when he has his straight hair, I want one with the curly one!! Be prepared of that Jeff! And I've got a brand new digital camera!

*sighs* I don't have ANY So, look out Jeff, I'm on a mission! Ha ha!

Can I join too?

I was on my way to a Whitesnake show in 2004 and me and my friend ran into Marco at the train station...
No pics but it was very nice meeting him. And he is a fantastic bass player btw

I'm almost a professional with the Jeff&I pics, so I have to go with you all on the 'stalking-tour' to check that your pics will be taken correctly.
Yep.

ROTFLMAO! I think you're right!

This is definitely my favorite topic! I have those pics with Marco & with Jeff (AND! Virgil has took one pic using MY camera ) but I can join you still.


(But I'm still afraid getting that restraining order 'cause I'm the biggest pain in the ass in the world )

I've met him during the Soul SirkUS tour, not only is he a great bass player but also a great person!

Got to see the man himself again (unfortunately not in person) on Wednesday, Thin Lizzy were supporting Deep Purple in Cardiff. Marco was excellent as always, but the same can't be said for John Sykes or Scott Gorham! Any Thin Lizzy fans on the board, go & see Limehouse Lizzy instead (see http://www.myspace.com/limehouselizzy).

Memories of Soul SirkUS indeed....

^I'm going to see Deep Purple & Thin Lizzy (I'm not sure yet that am I going on two gigs but I got already a ticket to Helsinki ). Can you tell me more about it? What about John Sykes?

Go, Deep Purple were really good (better than the last time I saw them)& Styx too, for their entertainment value! I saw John Sykes' Thin Lizzy in 03 and he was good then (but that show was a bit special), perhaps an off night in Cardiff? He's more of a guitarist than a singer and has the guitar parts, of course. As a singer, though, Phil L he ain't! If you've not seen the current Lizzy lineup before, do go, but they will sound different to their recorded songs as Sykes' voice is very different to Phil Lynotts. I just hope you get a better atmosphere, the crowd at the Cardiff show weren't warmed up enough at that point & I think the band sounded just a bit tired.

Well I hope that it will be good evening. I was supposed to go see Thin Lizzy on may 2005 but the tour was cancelled. Now I'm gonna see them twice! (I can't remember how many times I have seen Deep Purple! )

Frontiers Records proudly announce the release of MARCO MENDOZA solo album "Live For Tomorrow" on July 6th 2007.

Marco is one of the most respected and well known musicians in the Los Angeles music scene. According to Ted Nugent, "Marco is the world's greatest bass player and he's got the soul". He also played with the likes of Thin Lizzy (with whom he's been recently touring UK and going to appear live during the summer), Whitesnake, Blue Murder, Ozzy Osbourne and The Cranberries.

Though most often recognized for his jaw-dropping 6-string fretless bass chops, Marco is a master of the 4, 5 and 6-string fretted bass, too. But that's not enough. In "Live For Tomorrow", his debut solo album, Marco shows his hidden vocal talent, which just needs to be heard to be believed! Mixing different vocals styles from the bluesy David Coverdale and Paul Rodgers ranges to the Eric Martin-esque overtones, Mendoza shines as a singer that is able to deliver a passionate and strong performance in every song.

"Live For Tomorrow" was mostly written and produced by Marco during the second half of 2006 and the beginning of 2007, together with former Poison and Mr. Big guitarist Richie Kotzen, who also produced the album. Musically the record offers a sincere and down to earth sound, reminiscing of classic Hard Rock (with hints to AC/DC, Mr Big, Damn Yankees etc.) with Blues and Melodic Rock roots.


Some very special guests appear to tribute the talent of this amazing guy. Among them: Ted Nugent, Doug Aldrich (of Whitesnake) and Steve Lukather of TOTO all offer guitar solos appearances, Tommy Aldridge of Whitesnake and Brian Tichy (Pride and Glory, Ozzy Osbourne, Foreigner, and Billy Idol) play drums while Richie Kotzen of course handles the bulk of guitars and duets on vocals with Marco on "I Want You".

Sit back, light a cigar, relax, put the stereo on and enjoy the ride that this musical master can offer!

"Live For Tomorrow" will include the following cuts:
Not For Me; Live For Tomorrow; Lettin' Go; Look Out For The Boys; I Want You; Your Touch; Let The Sun Shine; You Got Me; In My Face; Broken; Still In Me; Dance With Me

"Live For Tomorrow" will be released on July 6th 2007 in Europe on Frontiers Records with US release on Locomotive and Japanese release on King.

Got some samples for Marco's solo project from the Frontiers press release, assume they'll be on frontiers website too if anyone's interested. Yet to try them out.
