Rhythm guitarist Billy Morrison has spent the past 15 years in Billy Idol’s band, alongside Steve Stevens. He has also made a lot of friends.
On this third solo album, he’s pushed the boat out. It’s a set of wide-ranging metal, punk and electro rockers, starting with Drowning, a personal diatribe against information overload that has been doing his head in lately.
Then the guest overload begins.
Ozzy Osbourne and Steve Stevens are thrown together on Crack Cocaine, Al Jourgensen and John 5 flex their tattoos on The Ayes Have It, Steve Vai and Slipknot singer Corey Taylor make an interesting combination on Incite The Watch. DMC raps on Just Like A Movie, while Persia Numan (Gary’s daughter) coos backing vocals. Morrison takes a busman’s holiday with Idol and Stevens on Mr Dream before the ageless, indefatigable Linda Perry brings it all to a climax on Chasing Shadows.
