‘I wish them luck’: Billy Sherwood pulls out of troubled Geoff Tate-led Queensryche project



Billy Sherwood won’t be remixing the new album from Geoff Tate’s Queensryche. Just days after it was announced that the 1990s Yes vet would get involved with that troubled project, he’s pulled out — citing a host of other obligations.
“I’ve withdrawn from mixing the Queensryche project,” Sherwood confirms, via Facebook. “Scheduling issues became a conflict.”
While that kind of comment is often bandied about by someone simply looking to pursue other things, Sherwood is, in fact, eye ball deep in work.
He’s still mixing the forthcoming Prog Collective 2, a highlight of which will be some of the final recordings from Peter Banks, the late Yes guitarist; even while producing William Shatner’s new solo effort. Sherwood is also set to tour with Eddie Jobson of UK fame, among other things. For instance, he says a Doors tribute album is in the works for Cleopatra.

...BECAUSE SOME OF US THINK THAT THIS STUFF IS IMPORTANT
What happens when you mix what is - arguably - the world's most interesting record company, with an anarchist manic-depressive rock music historian polymath, and a method of dissemination which means that a daily rock-music magazine can be almost instantaneous?

Most of this blog is related in some way to the music, books and films produced by Gonzo Multimedia, but the editor has a grasshopper mind and so also writes about all sorts of cultural issues which interest him, and which he hopes will interest you as well.
