Possibly a new Brian demo

very very nice! Does anybody have the full version?

Thank you very much for sharing this. It's always a thrill to hear something new. I love it :)

*edited: don't bother to read this below - Brian will tell you a different, better story soon!*

The full version lasts for 3 minutes sharp.
It's rather interesting - you get an overal idea of the entire song by the sample though.
It's a 'full song' demo, so no strange bridges, pauses or lalala's. There is a short bridge though with only drums, whcih sounds like there was supposed to be a solo added. Oh yes, and Brian is giving a very fine example of a blue note! ;-)))
Guitar, vocals and drums only. (Though the guitar is already doubled and there are backingvocals - all Brian's btw)

No this is not from Another World era or the Heroes-album sessions. It's from a Cozy Powell solo-thing.
According to Cozy's personal notes on his original cassette - the Japanese website is also wrong about when this was recorded. It is supposed to be from the late 80's (which definately makes sence: listen to Brian's guitar; sounds like it's the same one as used for Stealin') and was part of multiple sessions with different musicians. Eventually an album never materialised - because in the middel of recording Cozy abandoned the tapes to team up with Dutch guitar legend JAN AKKERMAN (Focus) - one of the guys that had turned up for one of those earlier mentioned sessions and also recorded a demo with ;-)


After Jan, Cozy went straight into Black Sabbath and did not touch his tapes anymore. In the early ninetees he unfolded some of the tracks and invited some of his guests from back then into his studio again to do some other tracks: this became the better known album The Drums Are Back (the one with Ride The Night/Resurrection and Somewhere in Time/Nothing But Blue)...

Time to get this one out then... No, sorry, I am not allowed to upload the track - but feel free to make me a trade offer by e-mail.

The Loner, that one is originally from Gary Moore, right? That one is really awesome, it's just instrumental, but some beautiful guitar playing by Mr. Moore. Or is this a completely different song by Brian?

The full Cozy Powell boot is currently seeded at dime. See here: http://www.dimeadozen.org/torrents-details.php?id=101352&dllist=1

Thanks for the info Criss

And thanks to PG for bringing this to my attention. Much appreciated indeed!!

Black sabbath Hammersmith 9/8/90 featuring Brian on Heaven and Hell & Paranoid

Interesting what infomration comes to light when little is offered.....

I got this from Dime, and am impressed with whoever found the Cozy bootleg as I don't think there's any obvious way of getting there - searching for the song title would bring up (presumably) hundreds of Elvis sites.

It highlights how blinkered we are when looking at Dime & how many hidden gems there are out there (eg the Def Leppard 83 show with Brian was on there a while back, a PR 94 show with Brian has also been on).

Also interesting to see who had it and who didn't.

Thanks for playing....

Crapola I missed that on there.

Sounds very different than all the other Brian Solo Stuff....Thank god Another World has been released instead of a cd full of this, thanks for sharing anyway...

Thank you for this.

Thank you!

Thank you for sharing.
Interesting thread. ;-}

Just search for "Cozy Powell" or even by "Brian May"... ;-)
