I'm listening to the Don Dokken cd Up from the Ashes and still diggin the hell outa this guy, anybody got the his new cd "illusionation" and reccomend it, or no? I'm a little worried from the promo bit about the disc it's not gonna rock.... :( I cant get a bead on this guy! :gethim:
 
I've got it, it's great! It's not new, more like at least 10 years old though...

John Mayer's drummer JJ Johnson is on it.

Apparently now he live a buddist lifestyle in Mexico somewhere.
 
Is he still ripping or is this a watered down version? and What is WITH this guy??? :lol: :LOL:

I was gonna say, that CD is super old! I knew Billy fairly well back in the day, my band used to play with 6 is 9, which is his pre-BWT band. Great player and awesome tone.

I haven't seen him since about 2000 or so. He was living and studying at a monastery back then and was in town to see some family.

He hasn't played anything like the DD CD in 15 years. 6 is 9 was the closest thing to a heavy rock band and that was more like Cheap Trick.

well, I've never heard the Dokken stuff, it's kinda 90's alt-rock with some prog mixed in. It's really good stuff, but not very shredding if that's what you're looking for...
 
Billy White sounded fuckin KILLER on the Don Dokken CD, but never heard anything about the guy ever since...
 
damn your right, it IS from that long ago. a monastery? a monk?!?? all that shred an no go??!? :cry:

I need a 'bring back billy white' sticky up here. Maybe we have an ampfest, get hammered, kidnap the guy, lock him in a room with an old marshall plexi and an Axefx and shove food under the door for a month till he breaks and gets back to Rockin.... :rock:
:lol: :LOL:
 
Bro, You know how much of a Billy White fan I am. I havent been able to find Illusionation anywhere and I believe that the Billy White Trio used to play around NYC for awhile. Im glad thta the guy has found enlightenment and all that but damn, when I caught the up from the ashes tour, Billy White brought the pain like few ever have. One of my faves from the 80's for sure; and underknown and underrated talent..

recognize Bitches!!!















And from one of the 2 NY shows that I caught, I was at this show and the one at Sundance

 
If you can find the first Watchtower CD "Energetic Disassembly" you should get it if you are into BW.
 
Kage, as always, u rock!
Nice bag on the sundance vid, I just ate that up!!! those two lunatics taking solos over into the fire with Don, Peter, Mickey, thats a wet dream right there lol! Thats one show I'm sorry I didnt know about back then... I'd'a killed to see that live.... Ugh.... :doh:
 
I have a 6 song EP, "Sistershootingstar". I didn't know there was others. Great playing on it.
 
I cant seem to find any of Billy's stuff outsidee of DD so if any of youz have it and wouldnt mind burning it for me, Id be all to happy to reimburse you for your troubles..

ANY BW will be appreciated...
