http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids....The inaugural "Guitar Gods Behaving Badly" brings together three players among the many who have stamped their names in the W.A. Music History Books in their respective genres of blues, rock & metal.
Introducing: Gérard Maunick, Graham Greene and Jamie Page.
Gérard Maunick: John Ward of 'Only Blues Music' said: "Probably the best description I could give you of Gérard is that if Jimi Hendrix & Bob Marley came back in the form of one person, that person would be Gérard. I have rarely met anyone with the love of music & people that Gérard has. A truly wonderful & talented guy, who plays like a demon, just amazing."
Highly regarded and respected among his peers, Gérard's ability to mesmerize his audience through guitar and voice is a gift that any young, aspiring student of blues & soul should absorb first hand by witnessing Gérard's magic live. For the music lover, if you ever caught Jimi Hendrix or Bob Marley live, then you will have 'some' indication about what to expect & experience at a Gérard Maunick gig.
The pleasure will be all yours.
Graham Greene: Australian Guitar Magazine wrote: "The Satriani of the South, Perth guitarist Graham Greene put together this brilliant album, all instrumental bar 'Fire In Your Liberty', which features his wife Donna on vocals. As for the rest, Greene plays every instrument. Mixing soaring melodic '80s-style lead with frenzied tapping, neo-classical displays of fret-wizardry, stabbing harmonics and talk box. Greene travels with flair and grace through a variety of styles, from ballads to metal and blues, and comes out the other side a certified rock god."
Through the 80's and early 90's, Graham was one of the highest profile guitar players in Perth. His stints included Flash Harry ('82 – '86) as well as the enormously popular & successful Melodic Hard Rock Band, Ice Tiger ('87 – '92), gaining recognition in Australia, Europe and Japan. Graham continues to entertain people with his fretboard agility & melodic compositions while continuing to gain recognition world wide. In 2007 "G" was Special Guest at the Guitar Heroes:Guitar Fest in Sydney & in January 2008 returned from a Vietnam Stadium Concert to a viewing audience of 15,000 ppl and televised live to 6 million people on VTV1. Guitar heads and music lovers alike are reminded of the fun & expression of music and the feelings of exhilaration and inspiration only a Greene guitar display can achieve. An experience not to be missed.
Jamie Page: Taken from the Black Steel vault: "Jamie's background includes recording with musicians such as the late, great Cozy Powell from Black Sabbath, Whitesnake, Rainbow and Malmsteen fame, as well as writing credits with Queen guitarist Brian May. Jamie's credits also include movie soundtracks & gigs with 80's New Wave Of British Heavy Metal era musicians Dennis Wilcox (Iron Maiden original vocalist) & members of 80's cult metal act, Angus McDeth and Perth's own James Morley. Jamie has also had the pleasure of performing on the bill with such greats as Motorhead and Deep Purple."
In Perth, Jamie is remembered for his ground breaking guitar work with seminal W.A. power metal act, Trilogy (with Jon Ryder & Pete Thompson), and later for his undeniable sound and force in power metal band, Black Steel. In 2008, Jamie moves into a new stage of metal with the current hotbed of players featuring Damien Petrilli on drums. A Page gig is most certainly an unforgettable performance from a Guitar Master and Founding Father of Perth Metal.
