Le Tekro, Ronni Bigfoot TV

"Bigfoot TV" is Ronni Le Tekro's first solo album in six years, and old and new fans are in for a treat. Together with his tight band, "Bigfoot TV" sounds inspired and vibrant, Ronni's brilliant guitar is a red thread through the album and you'll find references to everything from TNT to Thin Lizzy, The Beatles, Gary Moore and his own progressive rock albums. Ronni Le Tekro is considered one of the world's most influential (rock/metal) guitarists, first and foremost with his hard rock band TNT, but also in collaboration with jazz guitarist Terje Rypdal and as a diligently used studio musician for many artist and bands as Twisted Sister, The Snakes, Tony Harnell, Abra Kadavra, Millenium, Lana Lane, Peer Gynt, Diesel Dahl, Mads Eriksen, Gary Holton, 1349, Age Sten Nilsen, Enslaved, Brian Robertson, Tim Scott McConnell aka Ledfoot (who also does backing vocals on the track "Life On Long Island"), Vagabond, Bad Habitz, Jorn Lande and Pagan's Mind. Tekro has sold somewhere between 4 and 5 million albums with TNT and is named for years as one of the world's 25 best guitarists in its genre. Le Tekro plays with an extremely accomplished technique. One of the big differences in his playing is that his guitar solos are usually a separate melody which can actually be hummed, similar to Neil Schon's solos in Journey songs. He also has the technical ability to play fast with his 'machine gun technique', but he does so sparingly to make the effect even greater. Ronni Le Tekro is always continuously developing as a composer, lyricist and vocalist, and seeks opposition and inspiration from colleagues in the music industry around the world. The lyrics on "Bigfoot TV" are about his own life and values.
