Smith/Kotzen - 'White Noise' (official music video)

Late in the evening
I'm watching my feed
I'm filling my eyes with nothing but greed
Up in the morning
My eyes are all red
Turn on the news
Somehow we ain’t dead

Yea the frequency cracking
Drives me out of my head
Loosely distracted by all they said
These people wearing balls and chains
While I’m wearing justice change

So can you hear me through the white noise?
Is my message getting through?
Ahhh, yea, yea...
Are you gonna make the right choice?
Time to make up your mind before it happens to you

They wanna close my spirit, kill my joy
Can you hear me through the white noise?
Yea I’m hearing oh
I wanna drink my jack bring back my poise
Is my message getting through?
Yea I hear ya through the white noise

Out in the ether
Somewhere in time
Watching my city
Succumb to the crime
There’s revolution
Conspiracy’s rife
Take over my dreams
Taking over my life

Can you hear me through the white noise?
Is my message getting through?
Oh I’m hearing you clear
Are you gonna make the right choice?
Time to make up your mind before it happens to you

Oh close my spirit kill my joy
Can you hear me through the white noise?
Yea I’m hearing you well
I wanna drink my jack bring back my poise
Is my message getting through?
Yea yea I can hear ya through the white noise

Ahhhh, can you hear me through the white noise?
Is my message getting through?
Oh are you gonna make the right choice
Time to make up your mind before it happens to you

Oh you wanna close my spirit kill my joy
Can you hear me through the white noise?
Because I’m talking to you
I’m gonna drink my jack bring back my poise
Is my message getting through?
Yea I can hear you through the white noise

Ο Adrian Smith δεν νομίζω ότι χρειάζεται πως ιδιαίτερες συστάσεις. Εκ των κιθαριστών των Iron Maiden σχεδόν από τις πρώτες ημέρες του θρυλικού συγκροτήματος (δεν τον ακούμε μόνο στο ομώνυμο ντεμπούτο του 1980) μέχρι και σήμερα (με εξαίρεση την δεκαετία του ενενήντα).

Από την άλλη και ο Richie Kotzen έχει μία μακρά πορεία στον "χώρο" με συμμετοχές σε μπάντες όπως οι Mr. Big, οι Poison, οι The Winery Dogs κλπ. Οι δυο τους ένωσαν προ τετραετίας τις δυνάμεις τους στο συγκρότημα - project που φέρει ως όνομα τα επώνυμά τους (Smith / Kotzen).

Και κάπως έτσι κυκλοφόρησε το (ομώνυμο) ντεμπούτο τους τον Μάρτιο του 2021. Ο διάδοχός του βρίσκεται προ των πυλών. "Black Light / White Noise" ο τίτλος και αναμένεται στο "έμπα" της άνοιξης, στις αρχές Μαρτίου...

Δελτίο τύπου: «Black Light/White Noise is the eagerly anticipated second album from Smith/Kotzen - featuring guitar maestros Adrian Smith (Iron Maiden) & Richie Kotzen (The Winery Dogs).

Lead single White Noise is a thrilling track that takes their unique collaboration up a notch, as their modern take on a classic style of hard rock evokes a harmonious synergy, both on the fretboard and vocally.

This anthemic, call to arms once again showcases the songwriting prowess of these two musicians of the highest calibre.»
