Category: UNION (Corabi)

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.

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…

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…
