Can’t happen here
More details have surfaced on the William Shatner’s upcoming “metal” album, and it sounds like Blackmore will not be appearing on it after all. AntiMusic reports:
Cleopatra Records shared a new update on William Shatner’s forthcoming metal album and revealed that the Star Trek icon reached out to Deep Purple legend Ritchie Blackmore to record a guitar solo for the song “The Grim Reaper”, which Blackmore felt that he could not improve on the solo that has already been recorded by Marcus Nand.
The label shared these details: When you’re looking for a great guitar solo, you need a great guitarist to play it. That’s what William Shatner thought as he was playing through the early material that he has already gathered for his upcoming Metal album, and that’s exactly what he did.
Shatner was listening back to “The Grim Reaper,” a new song that he cowrote with guitarist Marcus Nand, and while he was personally happy with the performance, he also sent their demo to the Rainbow/Deep Purple legend to ask what he thought, and what he might do different. Ritchie got back to him directly. “”The guitar solo on what you sent is very good. I don’t feel I can add anything to change or improve it.”
