Corabi, John Unplugged

2015, John Corabi's most notable claim to fame was replacing Vince Neil in Motley Crue from 1992 to '96, recording one album with the band, the self-titled Motley Crue. His first exposure to the world came with the band The Scream, which featured guitarist Bruce Bouillet and bassist Juan Alderete from Racer X. Bruce Kulick, of KISS fame, and Corabi, together, recorded two studio albums in the band Union. He was the rhythm guitarist in Ratt and Brides of Destruction and worked again with Kulick in Eric Singer's project ESP. Corabi's latest outing is an acoustic studio album simply titled Unplugged. The album comprises five new songs and seven re-recorded songs from his stints with Motley Crue and The Scream. From The Scream debut album, Corabi covers "Father, Mother, Son," "Man In The Moon" and "I Never Loved Her Anyway." "Hooligan's Holiday" and "Loveshine" are pulled from Motley Crue. Union is represented by the songs "Love (I Don't Need It Anymore)" and "Everything's All Right." The rest of the CD is new music. Corabi is joined by drummers Cheney Brannon (ex-Collective Soul) and Matt Farley, bassist Topher Nolen and guitarist D.A. Karkos. Bruce Kulick also makes an appearance, performing guitar on "Hoolgan's Holiday" and "Man In The Moon." For music fans who never listened to Corabi with The Scream or Union, definitely go find these albums and give them a listen.
