BUFFALO ROCK CITY / JEAN BEAUVOIR / JEFF SCOTT SOTO / JOHN CORABI / JOHNNY GIOELI

BUFFALO ROCK CITY (Western New York’s Tribute To KISS) Vol. 2 ft. Jeff Scott Soto, Johnny Gioeli, Jean Beauvoir, John Corabi, Deen Castronovo *HQ / Exclusive*

Lifelong KISS fan and famed tribute act KISS THIS! founder/guitarist John Jeffrey began the project BUFFALO ROCK CITY (Western New York’s Tribute To KISS) a decade ago, to record KISS songs and release them on CD / vinyl for benefit purposes.
The band perform a full KISS tribute show (with makeup and costumes) under the guise of KISS THIS!, bring all of theatrics and bombast of a classic KISS show to fans all around the country. And they are professional terrific musicians.
“BUFFALO ROCK CITY II” is the sequel to the first “Buffalo Rock City,” perhaps the best KISS tribute album ever made. Lifelong KISS fan and KISS THIS! founder/guitarist, John Jeffrey, has, once again, assembled a who’s who of artists, largely representing the Western New York music scene.
Among the artists on “Volume II” are Johnny Gioeli (vocals), Jean Beauvoir (vocals), Lillian Axe’s Steve Blaze (vocals), John Corabi (vocals), Deen Castronovo (drums/vocals), guitarists Rafael Moreira (from melodic rockers Soul Station), Tommy Denander, and Howie Simon (Winger, Talisman), and many more.
The record also features a non-KISS song but by another Western New York’s musician: Billy Sheehan, wrote the song ‘Love For Sale’ for his band Talas. Sheehan play bass, and guess who’s on lead vocals: the mighty Jeff Scott Soto.
If ”Volume I” was a very good album, wait to hear “BUFFALO ROCK CITY II”.

JOHN CORABI / MOTLEY CRUE / THE DEAD DAISIES

JOHN CORABI – Unplugged (2012) HQ *Out Of Print*

Known for his vocal work with THE SCREAM, MOTLEY CRUE, and UNION (with ex- KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick), American rock vocalist JOHN CORABI released in 2012 his solo debut album entitled “Unplugged“.
Recorded into the studio in the classic ‘unplugged’ format but with a lot of instrumentation layers the now out-of-print CD offers 5 new original tracks, 7 re-recorded songs from his past bands and in addition, features an exclusive behind-the-scenes interview with John.
Over the years, it seems there is no middle ground when it comes to people’s opinions of John Corabi, either you love him or hate him. With Corabi on vocals, MOTLEY CRUE released one critically acclaimed full-length CD. I’ve known several people who refused to listen to the album because it wasn’t Vince Neil, yet when I put the album on and didn’t tell them who it was, they loved it.
Also, there are a large number of people who won’t give him a fair shot because the CD was released in the wake of grunge, and despite a Top-10 placing on the album chart, it ended up being a commercial failure for the label.
While this new release it’s a departure from the hard rocking stuff that you would expect from this singer, this is not a shock to anyone who has followed his career as Corabi has performed many acoustic gigs over the years.
But to issue an unplugged album as your debut solo effort is a ballsy move in my opinion. That being said, John is one of a few artists that could pull off such a feat after the career fronting the bands that he has.
And “Unplugged” sounds fantastic…

JOHN CORABI – Live ’94 [One Night In Nashville] (2018) *HQ* Out of Print

Former MOTLEY CRUE and current THE DEAD DAISIES singer JOHN CORABI released the album titled “Live 94 (One Night in Nashville)” back in 2018 (now out of print and retired from streaming platforms), a live album featuring solo performances of tracks from the self-titled studio CD he recorded with MOTLEY CRUE.
Corabi, who replaced Vince Neil in 1992, was part of the lineup that released the band’s self-titled sixth album “Motly Crue” in 1994. By 1997 he’d been removed in favor of the returning Neil following record company pressure.
Before start reading next, and to avoid confusion: ”Live ’94 [One Night In Nashville]” was recored in 2015, during Corabi’s tour called “Motley ’94” where he performed live in its entirety 1994’s ‘Motley Crue” studio album.
Corabi even performs the bonus track “10,000 Miles Away,” which originally was released as a bonus track on the Japanese version of the “Quaternary” EP.
Crisply produced by guru Michael Wagener, on “Live ‘94 (One Night in Nashville)” – recorded on Oct. 27, 2015, in (obviously) Nashville, Tennessee – the songs written and originally recorded more than two decades ago sound just as fresh, vital and exhilarating as ever – maybe even more so now because of how overlooked they’ve been over the years.
Time has robbed Corabi’s raspy voice of none of its power, and his band, Jeremy Asbrock (guitar/vocals), Tommy Daley (guitar), Topher Nolen (bass guitar/vocals) and his son Ian Corabi (drums/percussion), perfectly recreates the songs, which could not have been an easy task given some of the complicated arrangements.
Knowing how little Motley ended up touring behind this album, Corabi’s tour likely was the first time many of these songs were performed live…

JOHN CORABI / UNION (Corabi)

UNION (J. Corabi) – Union +1 [Japan Edition] +2 0dayrox extras

This is a really nice request as this band needs to be discovered by masses. UNION was formed in 1997 when ex-KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick, ex-MOTLEY CRUE vocalist and guitarist John Corabi, bassist James Hunting (DAVID LEE ROTH), and drummer Brent Fitz (SLASH) united to form a band. Kulick left Kiss after they decided to go back to their original lineup, and Corabi left Mötley Crüe under similar circumstances.
I remember back in time when I first heard the band’s self-titled debut, 1998’s “Union” – at first I was a bit confused, somehow it sounded ‘grungy’… dude, after some few songs I was amazed.
This is indeed a super-group, and all the individual talents shine here but working as ‘a real union’. The sound is dark at places, yet highly regarding believe me. Then impressive acoustic bluesy based tunes appear, there’s even second half of the Nineties AOR into the mix.
This now rare Japanese Edition includes an exclusive bonus track, and 0dayrox always give more: the bonus track from the 2002 reissue and an outtake from the original session, a very good finished track.

UNION – The Blue Room (1999)

This is a really nice request as this band needs to be discovered by masses. UNION was formed in 1997 when ex-KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick, ex-MOTLEY CRUE vocalist and guitarist John Corabi, bassist James Hunting (DAVID LEE ROTH), and drummer Brent Fitz (SLASH) united to form a band.

Well, the scary thing is this Union second effort ”The Blue Room” is even better… songwriting has been perfected, production polished to crispness, and Kulick gets loose on the guitar…

UNION – Live In The Galaxy (1999)

This is a really nice request as this band needs to be discovered by masses. UNION was formed in 1997 when ex-KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick, ex-MOTLEY CRUE vocalist and guitarist John Corabi, bassist James Hunting (DAVID LEE ROTH), and drummer Brent Fitz (SLASH) united to form a band. Kulick left Kiss after they decided to go back to their original lineup, and Corabi left Mötley Crüe under similar circumstances.
In between the band’s self-titled debut, 1998’s “Union” and 1999’s second effort ”The Blue Room”, UNION recorded this “Live In The Galaxy“, and glad they did it.
It’s an intimate, so polished performance / recording that you barely notice this is a live recording.
And the band did their own, wonderful versions of the Kiss songs “Jungle” and “I Walk Alone”, Cheap Trick’s classic “Surrender”, and the Beatles “Hide Your Love Away”, and my fave, “Power to the Music” from Corabi days in Motley Crue…

JOHN CORABI / RARE ALBUMS / THE SCREAM / UNRELEASED

THE SCREAM – Takin’ It To The Next Level [unreleased 2nd album] (1993) *0dayrox Exclusive*

Founded by guitarist Bruce Bouillet, bass player John Alderete and vocalist John Corabi, short-lived band THE SCREAM was a great band for sure plenty of groove, energy, soul and heavy guitars. When Corabi was asked to replace Vince Neil in Motley Crue, they hooked up with another equally as scary vocalist Billy Fogarty and recorded “Takin’ It To The Next Level” which, unfortunately, never got released because of a few Spinal Tap-ish record industry moves.
It was 1993, and the music style into “Takin’ It To The Next Level” wasn’t the hot cake anymore. Additionally, on this record THE SCREAM experimented a little with other sounds as well, like funk, rap-metal, etc, mixed with their traditional hard rock style.
“Takin’ It To The Next Level” is professionally recorded & produced album, and while there’s copies circulating among fans and collectors, our sounds better and includes extra tracks.

THE SCREAM (John Corabi) – Let It Scream [Rock Candy remaster +6] HQ *Exclusive*

Out of print for many years THE SCREAM‘s one and only album finally got its reissue / remaster by Rock Candy Records. “Let It Scream [Rock Candy remaster +6]” includes a bunch of worthy bonus tracks, a really welcomed as this is a record that criminally flew under the radar when it was first released, but has subsequently become one of the most respected and revered releases from the early ’90s.
It represented a high point for blistering blues-based hard rock, akin Badlands (Ray Gillen guest backing vocals), Cinderella, Aerosmith, etc. But as we know, grunge engulfed them and others but at least they didn’t go down without a fight.
Produced by industry legend Eddie Kramer (Led Zeppelin, Kiss, Fastway) and originally issued in 1991, the album is a riot of riffs and thrills, with Corabi surrounded by the sort of thunderous…
