Guitar Zeus

Everyone's all a-twitter (note lowercase 't', not uppercase) about Richie being part of Carmine Appice's "Guitar Zeus" dual-CD that's coming out on August 18th.

I have to tell you, the song Riche's on? Gonna Rain? It's been out for years on other "Guitar Zeus" compilations released in 2006, 2002, and 2000.

Don't get me wrong, the double CD set has some amazing tracks on it, including work from Zakk Wylde, Yngwie Malmsteen, Brian May and Dweezil Zappa to name a few, but "Gonna Rain" is old work for Richie. Good work, but old nonetheless.
