 Hollywood Monsters
 Big Trouble
 Review by Gary Hill

Stéphane Honde. Is apparently a French man who has relocated to Los Angeles. He must have made a reputation for himself because he managed to recruit some big name players when he decided to put this project together. Those names are: bassist Tim Bogert (Vanilla Fudge, Catus), keyboardist Don Airey (Whitesnake, Deep Purple), and drummer Vinny Appice (Black Sabbath, Dio, Kill Devil Hill). Honde himself handles guitars and vocals. One additional name included here is Paul Di’Anno, but he only sings on the bonus track. The music here is almost metal, but not quite. It’s more or less classic hard rock with a modern edge. This is a great set, really.
This review is available in book format (hardcover and paperback) in Music Street Journal: 2014 Volume 5 at lulu.com/strangesound.
