About 150 of the biggest names in rock and hard rock from Sweden have recorded a song that will be released in a couple of weeks on a special DVD to raise money through the Red Cross for the victims of the horrible earthquake and flood disaster in Asia.

The song "Where Is The Fire" (written by Tommy Denander, Bjorne Lindbom and Bernt Ek) was originally recorded a few years ago for the victims of 9/11, but was eventually pulled from that project because it "was very poorly handled by the people in charge," according to a press release. The song has been kept in a vault with the intention of donating it if and when something horrible would happen again....well, it doesn't get much worse than this.

This special DVD will include a documentary of how the song was recorded, a music video of the song plus 10-15 never-before-shown or very rare videos with great bands like EUROPE, TALISMAN , LION'S SHARE, PAIN and lots of other great stuff.

By the way, for some reason I hate Yngwie.

The amount of guitar magazines I've read with him in them....... :mad:

hahaha :up:

same here.

but yes, this is interesting.
 
I don't really like Yngwie either, or any of the shredders like Satriani. I just can't appreciate that sort of music.

I remember he came to Singapore some years back as a 'neo-classical' rock artiste and this poor woman went to go see him, and proceeded to leave half-way complaining that everyone around her "looked like they were in Iron Maiden".

Anyway, back on topic, I think it's very cool that these artistes are doing their bit for charity and hopefully they will raise quite a bit.
