when people are backed into corner they come out fighting. you can't blame the Alcatrazz guys for defending themselves after the amount of trash talk aimed at them. sadly the industry has more than a few playing/miming to tracks. lip-synching is too kind a phrase.
I appreciate this kind of video and interview with Jimmy Waldo, and the rest of the members. I've been a fan of Graham Bonnet for ages, a fan of all collaborations he's been part of. But it was very obvious that he was using tracks for vocals after 2015 and move forwards. Night after night, the same old vocals every time with no fail, perfect pitch, consistent tensing and length of every verse it was just obvious. Then when he did real vocal work at live performances with Michael Schenker Fest, his current live performances as they can't use the tracks as they don't have Jimmy anymore or any reunions that don't use the tracks his vocals were poor. Like I said, I love Graham's work but his slandering on his past band mates and his old friends is terrible, both him and Beth Ami should feel ashamed of themselves for even going that far and it's great to see the current Alcatrazz not taking any nonsense from them and responding appropriately. It's really sad to see what Graham has done and chosen, but good luck to him and to the current Alcatrazz members.
Gary and Jimmy have been known to lie about things a lot in the past, however Graham is up there in age, so I really do not know what to believe anymore.

I saw Bonnet live just before Christmas in the uk, certainly wasnt miming that night.

Thank you for the kind words I hope you subscribe and come back
I NEVER liked his voice to begin with....
Did he ever play the tracks for you? Would love to see it!
No they had them ready but we never got to it. Their point was made though

Not Alcatraz without Graham.
