Chris Caffery, Tim "Ripper" Owens join forces in SPIRITS OF FIRE

Guitarist CHRIS CAFFERY Says His New Metal Supergroup SPIRITS OF FIRE 'Would Definitely Love To' Tour

Wonder if it will happen since they both have so much other stuff going on?

I think it is very safe to say that a tour will never happen, at least with this line-up.

Yeah, DiGorgio will stay w/ Testament and Zonder will just stay at his studio. Caffery MIGHT do some shows between TSO tours, but TSO takes so much planning and commitment even during non-holiday months.

I think Caffery jammed with Owens in Owens' bar in Ohio some years ago. And tried to sell his hot sauce.

A tour might be impossible partly because of schedules, but mostly because, well, how many people would pay to see Spirits of Fire? As sad as it is. They might do a bar gig somewhere for fun.

Ordered this one on Amazon today.

I preordered mine...but it hasn't shipped yet...probably because I don't have Prime.

Not sure if this link will work for everybody here.   The episode of Bar Rescue featuring Tim "Ripper" Owens..

Maybe he lost a chunk of money on this. The bar is now closed.

ps If somebody has a better link, Post it. Thanks

Mine didn't ship yet either.

That Bar Rescue thing seems interesting. I will watch it.

Ripper is a very cool guy!

New video:



I actually received my CD yesterday, but only got one spin in so far, and even that happened in the car.

My CD will be here today....I dig what I have heard. It's got a couple left turns...

Still waiting for my copy. How did you find it so far?

Tim's not screaming the whole time which is good. If I ever gain employment again I want this.

I'm digging it. I like how they let Zonder/DiGorgio loose a few times...killer stuff!

Zonder is a beast.

Man, that last track goes down smooth. Ripper is a bit subdued which is cool with me.

If you have a Facebook account, go and listen to this Facebook live video Chris posted tonight (still going actually). He's sharing clips of six demos he did with Blitz from Overkill back in the early 2000s. Sounds killer!

He also mentioned he's been working on some new music with Jon Oliva, which is some positive news there. I kind of expected the next thing we'd hear about Jon would be his death announcement. =(

Caffery posted today that another Spirits of Fire album is currently in the works.

Interesting. I really end up liking the first one.

New tune. Ripper is out, Fabio Lione is in.

Holy shit. Not Lione, no! I am a Caffery fanboy 1000% and will blindly buy anything he is involved in. I've got a poster up, autographed shit and stuff. But I really don't like Fabio Lione. I own two Rhapsody CDs (Enchanted Lands & Dawn of Victory), and I thought that was all I needed to endure in my lifetime. He is just not... good. Or, you know, something I can enjoy.

But I guess (?) I need to get this. It's Caffery after all. Ah, so torn!!! But yeah, I will get it. I need it. Give it to me, Chris baby.

That song is... okay. It's stock. Is that the song they expect to sell the album with? And, is it me or is Lione trying to sing like Owens?

I heard the song earlier. It's average at best...

I am also not the biggest fan of the vocals.

I think Lione is great, and I feel this song is better than nearly everything on the last album—which I like quite a bit, by the way.

The new song is much better if you don't watch the godawful video. Over the years, as less money is available for videos, I've found that my opinion of a song is directly affected by a shitty or lame video. Haha.

(shrug) Meh. New song is OK. Like the last album, I'm filing this under "pick it up if you find it used/cheap."
