John Corabi Comments On The Passing Of Kevin Dubrow

Well gang,

Its a sad day today...I've just heard the news that Kevin DuBrow passed away yesterday...This is really tragic.!!! I didn't know Kevin really well, but I did get to hang with him a few times, and he had been nothing but nice to me, and exchanged a joke or two with me a few times...My sympathies go out to Frankie, and the rest of the Quiet Riot guys, as well as Kevin's family...But this also got me to thinking...I explained once to a girl I knew, who had asked me what my intentions or plan for the future was....The only plan I have or can follow, is to work hard, live a full life, and Love those that I LOVE with all my heart. Life has a way, of throwing you curve balls, and you NEVER know when your ticket is going to get punched....PERIOD!!!! So if you're in a relationship, or if you have kids, whatever the case may be...Don't leave the house, go to sleep mad at each other, without kissing that special someone, and telling them you LOVE THEM.... You never know if you'll ever have that chance again...I've had alot of people in my life who have passed away, some dear friends and some who I wasn't very close with...And I always felt like I could have said more to them when they were here with us.... So again, live life, love hard, and be happy!!!

Peace Crabby

At this point we do not have any official information to pass along to you either, but as soon as we hear something we will post it.

BUSY FALL FOR CORABI : 3 More New Releases to look out for!

We already know about the big Beatles tribute, but John has three more releases that are hitting the shelves all through the Fall!

ESP: Live In Japan

ESP’s line up of John Corabi (vocals/guitar), Bruce Kulick (guitar), Chuck Garric (vocals/bass), and Eric Singer (vocals/drums) rocks the house on this new live CD. Featuring 11 tracks including tracks from Union, Motley Crue, Kiss, and a few great covers to add to the mix, this CD is a must have for Corabi fans. The CD was recorded on the ESP’s trip to Japan earlier this year, and if you like the shirt that Corabi is wearing on the cover, john-corabi.net is the only place to get one! Kiss Army Warehouse seems to be the only place to get your copy of ESP: Live In Japan, so here is the link:

http://www.kissarmywarehouse.com/cart.php?m=product_detail&p=852

ESP: Live In Australia DVD

Now I don’t know what the official title is going to be on this one yet, but I know that the DVD’s are in production, and I have seen an early copy of this show. The footage and audio are unbelievable. This set differs from the set on the ESP Live CD, so both are worth getting. As soon as we have a date on this new DVD release we will let you know! The Kiss Army Warehouse will feature the DVD as well.

Lights Out: Ultimate Tribute To UFO – Cleopatra Records 11/21/06

Cleopatra Records is set to release another in a long line of tributes, this time to UFO. Corabi appears on this CD performing “Only You Can Rock Me”. We will keep you posted on where this disc is available as the release gets closer.

So as you can see, John has a lot going on right now, including work on a new band project that is in the early stages right now. He is busy writing currently and as we hear things start to develop we will let you know more. He has submitted several new songs to some of Nashville’s finest including the incredible “A lot Like The Woman I Love”, “If I Never Get To Say Goodbye”, “Then Comes Sunday”, and “Crash”. We hope to be able to let you hear some of the demos soon.

You can also hear John on The World’s Greatest Tribute To Led Zeppelin that was released over the summer. John makes several appearances including guitars on “Rock And Roll” which features the vocals of Mark Slaughter, and the drumming of Fred Coury of Cinderella. You can also hear Corabi duet with Joe Leste of Bang Tango on the classic “Houses Of The Holy”, and Corabi’s remixed version of “Nobody’s Fault But Mine” also can be heard on this disc.

 

September 19, 2006

Hello again all! I know it has been a long time since we last updated you, and for that I apologize. There was a rash of computer issues going around the camp in the last couple of months, and I think we finally have things sorted out.

Now down to business…

There is a lot going on in the world of Corabi at the moment, and a lot that we can not share the details about just yet. John is hard at work writing. He has a few amazing songs that he has co-written in Nashville, and he is hard at work on a new rock project with some very familiar faces in the rock world.

Corabi is also performing with a all-star covers project called the Big Ballstars which he is fronting! And any fan of Corabi’s will be very happy upon seeing these guys tear it up where ever they are playing. The band features Corabi on vocals and guitar, Brent Woods on lead guitar, Robbie Crane on bass, and Fred Coury on drums. The first few shows have gone over amazing, and the best part is that John is loving every minute with this band.

There is another project in the works that will give us more opportunity to see John performing live, in an acoustic setting. Once we have more details on this we will share them with you.

Ratt is continuing to do shows, and of course John will be there. We hope to be posting new dates in the very near future.

John as always thanks you for your love and support, many fans have been traveling from all around the world and stopping in to the Cat Club on Thursday nights to see John perform. The place has been packed every Thursday for that last several months, so if you are in the L.A. area make sure you get a chance to check it out! Don’t forget to stop by the store and get your Corabi swag before it runs out!

Next update coming soon, with tour dates and other appearances….

Corabi And Vince Neil Band Show Real Professionalism

June 30 in Tampa, Florida Vince Neil headlined a show at the St. Pete Times Forum, with special guests Ratt. John Corabi, one time singer for Motley Crue has worked with Ratt for several years now, and he and Vince have had a very amicable working relationship, having shared several bills over the years, and working with many of the same musicians at one time or another.

It is no secret that Vince Neil has had some issues with alcohol over the years, and unfortunately those issues reared their ugly head in Tampa. According to eye witness reports, Vince took the stage already inebriated. He began his performance singing off key, mumbling, and staggering around the stage. At the twenty-three minute mark, Vince wandered off to the side of the stage, where some reports have him collapsing on stage. His band, which featured Jeff Blando (guitar) and Dana Strum (bass) carried on without him, performing three Led Zeppelin songs with Jeff handling vocals. The band carried on in the utmost professional manner. They deserve all the respect in the world for this as musicians and performers.

Meanwhile backstage, management approached John Corabi to head out on stage to help them out of this already ridiculous situation. John accepted and took to the stage to pick up the set with “Live Wire.” John performed about half of the song while holding up a shaky Neil. Who at one point in the song grabbed the mic and announced “I love this mother-fucker” referring to John. Corabi got a good laugh out of this and seeing that Vince was determined to carry on, finished the song and took a bow, and left the stage. The show ended shortly after with Vince not being able to carry on.

Considering Corabi’s past experiences with Motley management, his taking the stage for any amount of time was not something that he had to do. His actions speak volumes as to the kind of person that he is, and that he is truly a professional! Not to mention that he sounded incredible, there is video of some of the incident on the web.

I have to say that I have all the respect in the world for Vince’s band, and John Corabi, and feel that their professionalism should be emulated throughout the music business. With a huge tour with Aerosmith looming this fall, Motley may need to think about having Corabi open the shows as an insurance policy, so should Aerosmith! The fans are speaking out on message boards all over the web, and www.john-corabi.net would love to hear from you at info@john-corabi.net .

May 26, 2006

As May winds down here at www.john-corabi.net we want to thank each and every person that has made John’s new radio station on Rock.com a huge success! You guys are amazing! The show is getting great reviews and we have just recently launched the Archive or Best of John Corabi Radio on Rock.com, which plays each show that John does back to back, so you can listen with no repeats all day long. John is continuing to add the site, and do new shows just about every other day!

We also want to thank all of you for your feedback on the show and the songs that John is playing! The songs that have gotten the most votes are “I Don’t Care” from the Scream, and “Shine” from Union’s Blue Room!

Rock.com and IFrogz have been great to us, getting this monster off the ground, and we are looking for great things to come out of this!

If you haven’t checked out the “STORE” on www.john-corabi.net yet, then you better get over there! The JC Logo shirts are available, along with John’s own design novelty shirt! The thing that gets me is that people don’t get it right away, they have to say it out loud three or four times first, and if that doesn’t make you laugh I don’t know what will! We have both the Dixie Shirt and the JC logo in M, L, XL, as well as ladies versions of each, we wanted everyone to be happy!

John has been busy writing, and recording a few things here and there. We hope to make some announcements about who might be involved in the band very soon! Crab has also been working with an all-star AC/DC cover band as of late with friends Brent Woods and Robbie Crane. The reaction has been great, and John is having a good time just playing guitar. You will be able to check out his singing talents again soon when the Motley Tribute hits later this year, and on a new UFO tribute that is in the works. There may be a live CD coming from one of the bands that John has been performing with this year as well, we will keep you posted on that!

Keep checking the site for new tour dates with Ratt coming up this year, and of course for the latest news on John’s new projects and band! We will have it here first!

Thanks for stopping by and don’t forget to hit the STORE, get your shirts before they are gone!

John Corabi Taking Part In New Motley Crue Tribute

As you may have read now for some time, John will be contributing to an upcoming Motley Crue tribute. He is doing a new rendition of “Home Sweet Home”, which started out as a simple acoustic arrangement much like Motley performed on the ’94 tour. But the track has become something quite a bit more epic. John is very excited about the arrangement, and he is currently finishing the recording. A few guests may appear on the track, but nothing has been confirmed as of yet!

In addition to John’s performance, this will be the first Motley tribute to feature songs from the ’94 CD. As a matter of fact, three songs from John’s days with the band will appear, “Hooligan’s Holiday”, “Power To The Music”, and “Misunderstood” which will feature John on background vocals. More info to come!

 

 

Hey Everybody,

Well I just wanted to thank all of you for signing up here at www.john-corabi.net
Your response has been overwhelming!!! Almost the entire first run of The Scream Live c.d., and the "covers" c.d. have been purchased. My manager said he may even order more....GOD, I HATE TO ADMIT HE WAS RIGHT!!!!! But thank you again....I'll deal with his inflated ego later!!! Also, the mailing list is GROWING at an alarming pace, and again....er....you know....Thank you, "Gracias", Tack, Arigato....How many ways can I say this.....You Guys ROCK....!!! I'm going to be finished with my book soon, and I've been doing some writing with a few "FRIENDS".!! Its really an exciting time right now and I can't wait to see what 2006 has in store for all of us....Now I know this isn't a "Save the Sperm Whale or Plug the hole in the Ozone" foundation, but I do appreciate your support and hard work...Keep it up, and tell your friends to sign the mailing list.....

Thanx again
John

 

Happy Holidays and Thank you!!!!

Hey Gang,
I just wanted to take a second and say I hope all of you had a great holiday, and PLEASE be safe over the New Years celebrations!!! I want to Thank all of you so-o-o-o much for adding me to your friends lists, and for signing up on www.john-corabi.net. I've never been one to mince words or kiss ass, so I'm going to explain my intentions for this....I'm going to need YOUR HELP!!! I've decicded to approach things with my music this next year a bit differently. I've been so caught up focusing on the "big prize" that I lost sight of the greater picture. I've been trying to focus on what I thought a "record company" would want from me, and forgot about the reason why I started playing music in the first place....CAUSE I LOVE IT!!!! All kinds of music.... Not just whats in ROTATION on M.T.V., or your local radio station, but just music that kicks me in the ass!!! Fuck "wheres the hook", or "i don't get the lyrics",...Just good old fashion, music that makes us close our eyes,lose ourselves and interpret the song, so we each get our own INDIVIDUAL meaning from it!!!! I mean I STILL don't know what John Lennon was talking about, when he sang "sitting on a corn flake", or what inspired "Kashmir" by Led Zeppelin...You know what I mean.. I"ve seen people like Annie DiFranco, and this new band in England right now, who is huge, because of MY SPACE, and you guys, flip off the system and say fuck you!!!! And I respect that. Tommy Lee is doing the same now with his new record. There is no record label involved, so T does what he wants ( love or hate him) and you get the record ALOT cheaper!!!! (what a concept) I want to try some new things, and play EVERYWHERE...I wanna try and keep the politics as far away as possible, and just be ...I dunno.....Artistic???? Give it a thought, and let me know what you think. If you know anyone that would be into helping out and signing up for an email address list, tell them to go to ........ www.john-corabi.net or add me to their friends list here. Sorry if I took up too much of your time, but I appreciate your listening!!!!

Peace gang
Corabi

SEASONS GREETINGS FROM JOHN

Hey everybody,
Well one week till the "fat guy" in the funny red suit comes to visit!!! I hope all you kiddies have been good. You know what happens if you weren't. You get a big bag of coal, A pile of reindeer shit in your living room, possibly even Lime disease if you get too close to them little Bastards...ugh! AND all of your friggin cookies that you spent days baking are eaten...So my advice to you is....GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER!!!! You've got one week. Thats plenty of time. Go save a tree, or a cat ...SOMETHING!!!! THINK PEOPLE!!!!This is important....A friggin' G.I. Joe with the kung-fu grip is at stake here!!! Anyway you get the idea. Now also make sure the chimney is clean, and if your wife and/or girlfriend
> has left any of those "FUNNY ADULT TOYS" laying around, you may wanna put those away as well. Last year, one of those psycho little elves, shoved a pocket rocket in Blitzen's ass and flipped the friggin sleigh...what a mess??? Anyway I gotta go, I just wanted to thank everybody for checking out the website and signing up for the mailing list. Have a great holiday, and be safe.....especially on X-mas eve....You try driving under a sleigh, with eight reindeer....whew!!!!

Peace Gang
Corabi

On behalf of John Corabi and all of us involved with this website, we would like to welcome you, and thank you for stopping by. This is the official site for all John Corabi news, merchandise, and anything else concerning John. John will be posting messages here on a regular basis, as well as updates on what is currently going on with him and all of his music endeavors. The page has been a long time in the making, and we are proud to finally have the site up and running.

Our goal here is to offer the most complete and accurate information that is available straight from John. We will also feature official John Corabi merchandise available for the first time anywhere. This page is a work in progress, so items will be added on a regular basis.

We would like to state that recently it was discovered that a MySpace account was opened in John’s name by an impersonator. This will be the only site, for the moment, with any postings from John. We do apologize to anyone that had contact with the impersonator, for the confusion.

Please enjoy the site, check back regularly as new items and features will be added often.
