The CLASSIC ROCK ALL STARS are a new supergroup featuring the likes of Bobby Rondinelli (RAINBOW), Greg Smith (TED NUGENT, ALICE COOPER, Rainbow), Chris Slade (AC/DC, THE FIRM), Craig Goldy (DIO), Geoff Nicholls (Black Sabbath) and John Corabi (MÖTLEY CRÜE).
Corabi remarks: “Really excited about a tour I’m doing with a great bunch of guys. We’re doing ten shows throughout Russia, starting on February 1st in Moscow. Stay tuned for details.”
Acclaimed hard rock vocalist John Corabi — best known for his vocal work with MÖTLEY CRÜE, THE SCREAM and UNION — joined the Dutch KISS tribute band KISS ON THE ROCKS on stage on November 10 at Turbinenhalle in Oberhausen, Germany to perform several KISS classics. Fan-filmed video footage of his appearance can be seen below.
Commented KISS ON THE ROCKS: “Yes, people, dreams do come true. One more for us [on November 10]. We performed at the German Kiss Expo in Oberhausen, in the famous Turbinenhalle with no one less than John Corabi!
It’s always a pleasure performing in Germany, and Turbinenhalle had been high on our list for years. But to perform with one of our heroes, Mr. John Corabi, was just amazing.
“John joined us for soundcheck and later on performed ‘Strutter’, ‘She’ and ‘Come On And Love Me’ for an outrageous crowd of KISS and MÖTLEY CRÜE fans. John did an amazing acoustic set promoting his new album as well.”
Corabi‘s all-new acoustic release, “Unplugged”, is available on Rat Pak Records. The effort offers five new original tracks, seven re-recorded classic songs and in addition, features an exclusive 2012 behind-the-scenes interview with John. The album features John Corabi on vocals/guitar, Cheney Brannon (formerly of COLLECTIVE SOUL) on percussion/vocals, Topher Nolen on bass/vocals, D.A. Karkos on guitar/vocals, Matt Farley on percussion/vocals and Bruce Kulick (KISS, GRAND FUNK RAILROAD) on guitar (on “Hoolgan’s Holiday” and “ManIn The Moon”).
Ex-MOTLEY CRUE frontman John Corabi comes to the UK and Ireland this November in support of his brand new solo acoustic album ‘Unplugged‘, which features new recordings of MOTLEY CRUE,UNION andSCREAM material with many surprises. John Corabi has toured the world many times over with bands such as MOTLEY CRUE, having sang on their 93 self-titled album, to the likes of RATT, BRIDES OF DESTRUCTION, UNION and ESP with Bob & Bruce Kulick (Ex-KISS) and Eric Singer (Current KISS / former ALICE COOPER drummer).

John Corabi — former lead singer of MÖTLEY CRÜE, THE SCREAM and UNION — has unveiled the cover art of his upcoming “Unplugged” CD. Check it out below.
Corabi recently released a limited-edition two-song CD sampler at this location. The disc features John‘s last live performance with THE SCREAM singing “Father, Mother, Son” as well as the track “If I Never Get To Say Goodbye…” from the unplugged CD.
Corabi‘s acoustic album will include “old songs, new songs and just a sample of things to come.” Tentatively due in the spring, the set will contain two versions of the MÖTLEY CRÜE‘s song “Hooligan’s Holiday” — a stripped-back acoustic version and a more elaborate but still acoustic-based band arrangement — as well as a version of the CRÜE‘s “Loveshine” and even a song by Corabi‘s first band, ANGORA, which was originally produced by Steve Vai.
Corabi originally joined CRÜE in 1992 as the replacement for the group’s original singer, Vince Neil, who was fired due to personal differences. With Corabi on vocals, MÖTLEY CRÜE released one critically acclaimed full-length CD, which ended up being a commercial failure in the wake of grunge despite a Top-Ten placing on the album chart. When Neil returned to the fold in 1997, Corabi was left on his own and formed the band UNION with ex-KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick.
Bruce Kulick (KISS, GRAND FUNK RAILROAD), John Corabi (MÖTLEY CRÜE, THE SCREAM, UNION), and Bruce‘s brother and Grammy Award-winning producer/guitarist Bob Kulick (whose credits include KISS, MOTÖRHEAD, W.A.S.P. and ALICE COOPER), appeared at the third annual Helsinki KISS Expo on November 26, 2011. Bruce, John and Bob played an unplugged set and took part in question-and-answer and signing sessions.
