Teenage Cancer Trust /Buddy Holly Fundation charity project

[quizzaciously]

Once you hear Jeff Beck playing the intro of “My Heart Will Go On” right on the beginning of the song, you can’t unhear it😆

Lol! Same way The Rocks and the Thunder from Local Hero sounds a bit like Terminator theme.

[quizzaciously]

Definitely a one-time listen for me and all my suspicions from hearing the snippets were confirmed, almost nothing to add. Wished for a longer intro from Jeff Beck instead of cutting him unceremoniously like that. I just wonder if bonus material will be released and will be ironically more popular than the main thing.

If they can do something like mix and release 1 proper duet with Mark a month, allowing more time and space to enjoy these players, a shorter, more "digestible" track and a better thing for famous guitar players to share with their fans instead of asking them to play aural Where's Waldo which I'm not interested playing in the slightest.

It makes it a never-ending project really, because it relies not on the total number of guitar players, but simply on the fact of the arrival (or remote recording) of a new one and always feels fresh, giving more exposure to Cancer Trust, collecting more money. Anyway, so many opportunities to do it better it's almost insulting. A huge mountain of disappointment.

Still waiting for my copy but listened via spotify. A very nice song indeed! Has a nice 80’s guitarhero style in it when guitar solos had to be played above 20kHz and a minimum of 400 notes per bar. Just great!

But if these artists ate capable of recording this, why not take it next level and record a 10 minute version of Done with Bonaparte?

It’s hard to recognize the artists.
It’s OK for MK, David Gilmour, Hank Marvin, Jeff Beck, Satriani, but the others. There are so many guitar sounds that recognisable players like Sonny Landreth or Detek Trucks are difficult to hear!
But I love this track, especially the intro !

First leak :

I’ll comment later …

not sure if it was a leak, it was on MK's official channel already :

Tom Morello is also clear towards the end, but for example, where is Bruce? Or Slash?

I Like It so much, emotional intro...maybe I too heavy on final minutes, but GREAT.
I buyed CD, not found Blu ray, . Someone have a Bluray copy
for me?

I really enjoyed the heavy part in the final minutes. Never have or will a MK song sound rockier than this.

Massive coverage in today’s Times. A picture of Mark in DS days is the cover of Times 2 (inaccurately labelled as from the year 2000) then a big article by Paul Sexton. And a separate article where Times journalists name their favourite guitarists on the record.

My first thought after listening to the CD that just arrived this morning ...wow, sounds like an anthem coming straight from the heart of so many great musicians for all people in need.
Amazing record! It's much better than I had expected.

[Millionaire Blues]

Truly remarkable achievement from Guy, Mark and all the other musicians.
Sounds incredible, a testament to what is possible with guitar / production technology.
So refreshing to hear other great musicians take / melodic lines on the beauty that is 'Going Home'.
Bravo...

Who plays these little notes around 0 min 45´ ?

[Dutchessy]

Should we play who is who?

I will start, my guess (could be totally wrong)

00.00 to 0.20 Jeff Beck
Then MK himself during the whole intro (part at 2.50 is also MK)
1.18- 1.45 David Gilmour (or also around 2.00?)
3.00 Eric Clapton
3.50 - 4.30 Hank B Marvin
5.48 Brian May
6.55 Bruce Springsteen? (wild guess)
7.50 Tom Morello

Sting on bass is very obvious   

[jbaent]

I listen to it once while driving to work, I intended to listen it a second time but the first one made me feel so nervous with that mess of noises that stopped it and put the radio

When at home and relaxed will give it another try that would be probably the last one.

But hey, what's important is this is for a good cause.

Just noticed Burt Lancaster on the cover, lol.
