CZECH RAPPER BEN CRISTOVAO ENTERS ROCK WITH KISS GUITARIST.
HE WILL ALSO COME TO ROCK FOR PEOPLE
(via Pavel Hromada) Ben Cristovao has released a new
single Bikerock, featuring Tommy Thayer from Kiss. The
surprising collaboration won't just stay in the studio - the
famous guitarist is also set to appear with Ben at
rockforpeople.cz/en
And there's more to the whole
story than just a quick festival idea.
Ben Cristovao
is not a name that would normally appear on metalista.cz But
the new single Bikerock deserves the attention of the harder
scene. Not because Ben would transform into a metal frontman
overnight. But because he invited a person whose name
belongs in the textbook of great American hard rock to the
rock-tinged song: Tommy Thayer from Kiss.
The new
song was released just before this year's Rock For People,
where Ben will perform on Friday, June 12. And that's where
Thayer is set to arrive as a special guest. An ordinary
studio curiosity thus becomes a festival moment that will be
watched by the audience, who might otherwise have missed
Ben's concert.
At first glance, this may seem like a
very unexpected connection. Cristovao comes from a
completely different world than Kiss. ??But that's exactly
what makes this news interesting. Rock for People has long
been based on clashes of genres, and Bikerock fits perfectly
into this logic. The pop performer takes the rock'n'roll
language, adds a great guitar legend, and tests whether a
similar combination can also work in front of a festival
crowd.
According to available information, Tommy
Thayer is not just a guest solo in the chorus. He was also
supposed to be a co-author of the song, sung in English. The
recording was made at the Golden Hive studio, and in
addition to Ben and Thayer, Dan Reed and producer Ondrej
Fiedler, known as fiedlerski, are also signed to the song.
Ben's guitarist Karol Komenda also participated in the
recording.
However, this is not the first significant
Czech connection for Thayer. In recent months, he has also
been talked about here because of his collaboration with the
band Turbo. The latter has a personal background: Tommy is
the partner of Vivien Kybicová, daughter of the late singer
and guitarist Richard Kybicová, one of the key figures of
Czech rock and the original face of Turbo. Thayer wrote the
song Time Of My Life for Turbo, the Czech version of which
is known as Vidím tu lásky svý stát, and according to his
own words, he wanted to honor the memory of Vivien's father.
It is this Czech line that gives the whole story another
dimension. TommyThayer is no longer just a former Kiss
guitarist who briefly appears in a home video or on a
festival stage. Lately, he has been moving around the Czech
scene more naturally than one might expect. Whether through
family ties, Turbo, or now through Ben Cristovao.
The
metal audience will probably be divided about such a
collaboration. Some fans will take it as a fun fling. Some
will be scratching their heads as to what Ben Cristovao has
to do with rock. But it is important not to remain
prejudiced here. Thayer has no reason to guest on something
he would not stand for musically at all. And if Bikerock is
supposed to function mainly as a festival challenge, then it
makes sense: a simple idea, a distinctive guitar, a
well-known name and a desire to make the performance
something more than an ordinary set.
Tommy Thayer was
the man in Kiss who took over the role of Spaceman after Ace
Frehley left and for many years held the guitar pillar of
one of the biggest rock brands in the world. At Kiss, he
learned exactly what a similar song needs: a direct stroke,
a stage gesture and the awareness that rock’n’roll is not
just a set of chords, but also an attitude.
So
Bikerock is not news that Czech pop has discovered metal en
masse. It is more of a small but very visible genre
shortcut. Ben Cristovao borrowed a piece of rock mythology
and brought a guide who was actually in that world. Now it
remains to be seen whether this will remain just an
interesting story at Rock for People, or whether it will
become one of the most surprising moments of this year's
festival.
NEW ACE FREHLEY SPECIAL
(from Naokiss) Today, on Ace’s birthday, “BURRN! Presents
Memorial: KISS Ace Frehley” (Shinko Music Mook) has just
been released in Japan. I just bought it. Here's my copy.
NEW KSS COVER AIR ON RUSSIAN TV
(from Alex Fedotov) Watch the new cover version of KISS,
which was shown on the Russian channel NTV on April 5. The
show is called "The Mask" and the performer is Beaver. The
show is still on the air, so the name of the artist behind
the mask of the beaver has not yet been revealed.
