Hollywood Monsters
Back in 2006, when Deep Purple undertook a massive tour of France, their support was a French band called Café Bertrand. Their guitar player Stéphane “Steph” Honde moved to California a couple of years ago and there he befriended Tim Bogert of Vanilla Fudge fame and convinced him to play on his debut album. The project took name Hollywood Monsters, and recently signed with Mausoleum Records to release their debut album Big Trouble.
And undoubtedly, in 2006 Honde made a good impression on Don Airey, as the latter is among the guest musicians on the album.
Track list:
- Another Day In Grey – Pt 1
- Move On
- Big Trouble
- The Only Way

Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing

Do you mean Paul Di’Anno??.
He has a great voice i saw him live in Emmen last year.
He only got a bit of a ego problem, he used to be in a small British band called ‘Iron Maiden’, and from the looks of it, he’s still a bit pissed about the fact that Maiden fired him in the early 80ies.
But aside from that, he’s still a great vocalist ;-).
A lot of great names on this project, i definitly going to check this one out ;-).
Chears!!,
