On
the 5th of October 2010 the rock industry lost one of its most greatest front
men. Gotthard's Steve Lee, who got killed in a motor bike accident in the USA
which was no fault of his own. Just one of those freak accidents. This put the
release of Homegrown - Live In Lugano back a few months. "Lugano was where it
all began and so the circle is closed of all that we've experienced with our
friend Steve Lee," comments Gotthard bassist Marc Lynn. The remaining bands
members have decided to carrying on "Gotthard" without Steve & are currently
looking for a vocalist. The hard rock world will be waiting eagerly to see who
they get to replace Steve, he will have to be great!!!!
I'm
not one for "live albums" but Homegrown - Live In Lugano breaks that rule. In
front of 20,000 fans this is a great experience & the band sounds like they are
having a blast up on stage. "Homegrown - Live In Lugano" covers all the favorite
Gotthard tracks & a few new ones. The main impact on this album, is the sound.
The production is nice and clean, crisp and packs a punch.
"Homegrown" captures all the greatness
of a real hard rock band doing what they do best, it makes you feel like you are
right there at the front of the stage enjoying this gig. "Homegrown - Live In
Lugano" marks the end of an era for Gotthard.
If you are a fun of "Gotthard" this is a
must buy, if you're not buy it anyway!!!!!
