Teenage Cancer Trust /Buddy Holly Fundation charity project

[superval99]

When I first read the news I felt elated, but since then realisation and disappointment has set in.

Eh, what’s Going Home got to do with Buddy Holly?!

In the end, just that the American branch of the Charity has his name.

As Guy didn't say it hadn't anything to do with Buddy Holly, we thought it was related.

Wow fantastic Going Home played by all the greats! Actually a bit disappointed, just one song...
Now let me explain MK's autograph on the guitar with the addition Going Home!

You can even order a deluxe version with a bluray including a mighty Atmos version.

I don’t understand the disappointment. It’s a great song - a really great song - and it’s going to be a nine minute version featuring many of the biggest names in world rock playing on our hero’s music. What’s not to like? After all we’re about to get 21 new songs from him.

Yes, it's a dream comes true!

Slash, Joe Satriani and Steve Vai playing "Going Home"!

I've been dreaming about that all my life, literally.

And you could have it in so many formats, a vinyl with one etched side, a cd, even a deluxe version with a bluray Atmos version.

I'm seriously considering to not order new MK record and concentrate in this wonderful thing:

I'm thrilled. It shines some well deserved light on MK, Local Hero and the song itself. Also, this is possibly the last big super group thing with the greats.

It will be interesting to hear how they managed to put all those players into one tune.

I Guy's home site there are 15 seconds of it.

I truly hope that the paper inside the different formats says who's playing when...

I'm just confused, when did Buddy Holly's name come up in all of this?

[dustyvalentino]

The positives:

We know it's a great tune

It's for a fantastic cause

Will be fun picking people out ("Hey, that's Waddy Wachtel!")

The cover is fun - is it Peter Blake? Funny seeing MK next to Slash, lolz.

There is no doubt its a stellar lineup, but one song....a nine minute extended version of Going Home.....Ive got to say this is a bit of an anticlimax (after 2 years) and just kind of a bit meh...

C'mon, you sound like a spoiled child on Christmas. If you don't like it - let it pass.

Guy was speaking of "THE" track all the time lately. It's also unfair to say this would steal precious life time from MK or his own projects. It's obviously Guy who had the most work with it. We've got a great fabulous Live Box and a new album comes out with 19 new tracks. Not too bad from my point of view. This one here is extra.
