Rated X (l-r): Tony Franklin, Carmine Appice, Joe Lynn Turner and Karl Cochran<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n

\nSerafino Perugino \u2013 founder of Naples, Italy-based rock label Frontiers Records \u2013 contacted erstwhile Rainbow and Deep Purple vocalist Joe Lynn Turner with a view to the frontman being part of a group whose members all boasted marquee value. This led to the formation of the provisionally titled Legacy X, the quartet\u2019s existence being revealed during December 2013. Later, the quartet dubbed themselves Rated X.<\/p>\n

\u201cSerafino just said \u2018We really need to put a great band around you to showcase your talents, instead of doing all of these projects and stuff,\u2019\u201d Joe remembers. \u201cEven though they were all great musicians, he wanted to have some name people with marquee value and all that. I said \u2018Yeah, sure, it sounds good,\u2019 but I was on tour most of the time. As you know, nowadays the paradigm has shifted, and the only way we can make any money is by live. You can\u2019t make any money through CDs any more really, and earning 69\u00a2 through Spotify is not gonna feed the family. You\u2019ve gotta get out and actually hit the stage, so I was really concentrating on touring, which was very, very lucrative, thank you. I\u2019m very blessed for that. <\/p>\n

\u201cI was home for two weeks, and I got a call from the New York Frontiers office. That was from Derek Shulman, to say that Carmine Appice was there (drummer for Vanilla Fudge and Cactus, among others). He said that he\u2019d like to be in it, and I said \u2018That\u2019d be perfect. That\u2019s great.\u2019 Then it was said \u2018Let\u2019s see whether we can get Tony Franklin (bassist for The Firm, among others) on bass.\u2019 He said \u2018Yeah, I\u2019ll contact him,\u2019 and it kind of sprung from there. It grew from there. I think what\u2019s interesting is we went through five guitar players until we finally finished the album, one of the reasons being is that the lead guitar player we finally settled on… Which is a very, very good friend of mine. He\u2019s worked with me writing, playing, live, and in the studio on my solo projects. That was Karl Cochran, but he suffered a stroke seven tracks into the album, which is heartbreaking \u2013 still is. We\u2019re doing benefits for him and all these other things now to raise money for his healthcare, so it\u2019s quite a story this Rated X album, with all the things that we went through besides Karl\u2019s accident shall we say. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe were just super-happy at how it came out, because I think that we have a passion on it that is unrivalled by many bands today. That\u2019s the short story. If you want the longer story in more depth and detail then I can do that, because we started with Bruce Kulick (of Grand Funk Railroad, and formerly of Kiss) on guitars. Then we had Jeff Watson (of Mother\u2019s Army, and formerly of Night Ranger), and then this guy called Alex came in and cut a few tracks, but we said \u2018No, that\u2019s no good.\u2019 Karl came in, and he was just brilliant. Nikolo Kotzev from Brazen Abbott had to finish the album, and he did it very graciously for no money, because we had absolutely no budget left or anything. It was really a labour of love doing this record. Everybody pulled together. Sort of like one guy goes down in the team, the rest of the team stands up, and pushes through. It was a lot of intense desire and heartfelt feelings on this record.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rated X notwithstanding, as a human being one has to query as to the current health of axeman Karl Cochran. \u201cThank you,\u201d the Rated X mainman responds. \u201cThank you for asking. He had the stroke on the left side of the brain, and that affects paralysis on the right side of the body. It also affects cognitive speech, so his speech is not so good. With the right side of his body, he\u2019s no longer using a cane to walk. He\u2019s limping, but he\u2019s walking. He can lift his right arm up to his shoulder, and with his right hand he can kind of spread the fingers. That\u2019s remarkable, because most patients only have a six-month window to make progress, and he\u2019s been making progress right along. We\u2019re hoping that by the end of the six months, he\u2019s going to be really doing well \u2013 even better \u2013 because he\u2019s using not only conventional medicines as we say, but also Reiki energy healing, which is a form of acupuncture and is holistic. He\u2019s working very hard; he\u2019s incredibly determined to be fit again. <\/p>\n

\u201cThere are stories of people with his exact condition that have returned to normalcy, so we are praying to God very deeply. A lot of people are coming forward to the benefits that we are creating and raising money for healthcare, because as you know, healthcare is shit nowadays. We\u2019re doing a good job, here. He\u2019s overwhelmed with love and purpose. I\u2019ll tell him you asked about him, because that gives him a positive attitude. He\u2019s very interested in what\u2019s happening with the CD; he just smiles, and it gives him a strong will. So, thank you. Thank you for asking.\u201d<\/p>\n

The majority of individuals in the United Kingdom are unfamiliar with medical bills, given the existence of the National Health Service. \u201cOh boy,\u201d Joe laughs. \u201cI was just looking at a program this morning on the internet about the NHS, and how profiteering is now taking over instead of health for the actual population. It\u2019s just unconscionable what\u2019s happening in the world. Healthcare is absolutely crap here. I just think there\u2019s gonna be revolution as Russell Brand is running around and screaming about, because we need it. We need the people to stand up, and we\u2019ve got to change things. The world is in pretty bad shape.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each of Rated X\u2019s members boast extensive CVs, developing specific qualities in building those aforementioned CVs. \u201cI have to tell you…,\u201d the singer begins. \u201cProfessionalism, perfectionism, passion, technical abilities. These guys… I mean, when you listen to this album and start to listen in to the album, you can hear Tony and Carmine just burning. The way I see it and the way I hear it is that all of the players are shining in their own light, and they\u2019re all doing what they do subtly, but it\u2019s all together. I mean this above and beyond any normal situation. It\u2019s almost like what Led Zeppelin<\/a> used to do. It\u2019s a very lame comparison \u2013 I don\u2019t mean to compare the two \u2013 but the feeling that Zep used to have was that they stuck out as individuals, yet they came together as a band. What Bonham was doing was just amazing, and then you had Page (Jimmy Page, guitars), John Paul Jones (bassist), and Planty (Robert Plant, vocals). Unbelievable, and they were all shining. That\u2019s what Tony does really well. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe had roughly an hour\u2019s conversation about that, and he said \u2018I don\u2019t just play dah-de-dah-dah.\u2019 He said \u2018I move you,\u2019 and if you listen in, Tony is just moving all over the place but yet still in the groove. Then Carmine was doing it. At first I thought it was going to be what we call too busy, but it\u2019s not. It just adds to the excitement and to the drama of each song, which makes the album as a whole a listening experience. I\u2019m very proud of it, because your question was \u2018What does each one bring to the table?\u2019 Listening to it, it\u2019s unbelievable. It just brings the heart and soul of everything together. I\u2019m very proud of everybody. In this situation that we\u2019re in to make this record, they all came shining through.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition, Rated X\u2019s moniker acknowledges the prolific histories of each respective member. \u201cWe were trying to find a name for the band,\u201d Joe recalls. \u201cWe all said \u2018C\u2019mon. we\u2019re all pretty much seasoned veterans here,\u2019 and we don\u2019t wanna be called some animal being \u2013 Def Leppard, or White Tiger, or any of these silly things. In my opinion, that\u2019s pass\u00e9. We said \u2018Well, okay. What could we be? What represents our integrity, but at the same time, what represents our rock \u2019n\u2019 roll attitude?\u2019 We started just talking on a conference call, and I said \u2018We\u2019re all ex-members of bands; we\u2019re all ex-wives. We have all lived the rated X life.\u2019 They went \u2018That\u2019s it, yeah. Rated X,\u2019 and I said \u2018Yeah, I think we\u2019re all rated X.\u2019 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe laughed about it, because we said how if we chose Rated X as a name, we were gonna get a lot of people looking for something else (laughs). I said \u2018Well, what\u2019s wrong with that? That sounds like rock \u2019n\u2019 roll to me\u2019 (laughs). I also said \u2018Besides, nowadays merchandising is important. If you went to a festival and only had \u00a310 or something, what T-shirt would you buy? Would you buy a generic shirt, or would you buy a Rated X shirt?\u2019 Everybody\u2019s gotta love the bad boy, you know, and you would probably wear a shirt that says \u2018Rated-X\u2019. It all just came together. We had some controversy about it, but you know what? To hell with it. That\u2019s who we are, that\u2019s what we feel, and it\u2019s kind of catchy and kind of cool.\u201d<\/p>\n

Producer Alessandro Del Vecchio aided in the penning of compositions. \u201cAlessandro is a very talented guy,\u201d the lyricist credits. \u201cHe said \u2018Joe, I\u2019m gonna be writing riffs and songs that I feel will be very good for your voice style-wise,\u2019 and I said \u2018Okay.\u2019 I had a bunch of stuff that I was saving for a solo album, as well. We just put our heads together. The guys went in and started to kind of play together, but what happened was, it really came out as more of a jam. I said \u2018Look, what we have here are good ideas, but what we need is an album\u2019s worth of songs, and in the context of those songs we wanna create some bits that are more like jams. Bass solos, going into drum solos, coming out into guitar solos.\u2019 That\u2019s what we did, and that\u2019s what the style is of Rated X. Pretty much on almost every song, we have these different bits.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe started to look more into shall we say accessible listening, but yet with a rock edge, commercial edge, or accessible edge. As soon as we started writing, I had songs written, and I wrote a few more during the time period. For example, \u2018You Are The Music\u2019 came out because I had a demo of it with my Swedish pals who co-wrote it. It was for a friend of mine that had died, basically. It was an anthem, actually. I wrote it to give to his mother and father. I played it to the guys, and they went \u2018We\u2019ve gotta have that.\u2019 His mother and father got the original version, and they were honoured for us to do it and put it on the record. Then we realised that this was an anthem for anyone who loves music, for anyone whose music is their life, who was touched at that one point in their life \u2013 as music often does. I would say that for me and myself, and I follow that path to this very day. We had to put it on the album, and I think it came out as a classic piece really. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe all pulled together. Tony wrote some of the lyrics, and there were some lyrics that Alessandro might\u2019ve had or that I might\u2019ve had. We started to compare which ones we liked better, which had more purpose and meaning. We pretty much made this a band project, and I have to explain the word \u2018project\u2019 because it\u2019s not a project. It\u2019s a project that the band did. We are a band, make no mistake. We want to be a band, and there are difficulties today being a band, one of them being getting your music listened to. Now you may say that the internet takes care of that, but no it doesn\u2019t. There are millions of guys out there that have songs on the internet, and nobody ever hears them. We have the advantage of having this name value so we\u2019ve got a better chance than most, but our agents have been running into problems getting live dates because the promoters have been going \u2018We don\u2019t know how they sound.\u2019 <\/p>\n

\n\n\n

<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cSo yeah, the album is out, and everyone will finally know how we sound. I think they\u2019ll be clamouring for us to play live, so it\u2019s just a waiting game. This band is a band, and we were all really committed to being a band from the very beginning, which is why we went through five guitar players. Bruce Kulick couldn\u2019t make the commitment, Jeff Watson couldn\u2019t make the commitment. Karl did make the commitment, but we all know his story, and we hope he comes back. Nikolo Kotzev from Brazen Abbott will be our guitar player until Karl comes back, but we know that for Karl it\u2019s gonna be a long road to recovery. We put Karl on the cover as well, because he deserves it. I\u2019m surprised to say that these guys are real human beings, and that the egos were totally under control. That\u2019s one of the pre-requisites for this group, is that everybody has to leave their egos at the door. It\u2019s not 1980. That\u2019s who we are. We\u2019re just regular guys trying hard to make some great music, which I think is sorely needed in this environment today.<\/p>\n

Lead cut \u2018This Is Who I Am\u2019 was co-authored with Stockholm, Sweden-based friend Chris Antblad. \u201cI had the intention of writing about this woman that I was involved with, about women who at first get with you and then they want to change you,\u201d Joe reveals. \u201cI\u2019m sure you\u2019ve been through that \u2013 as we all have \u2013 but then I felt that this was a much broader song. The chorus was much bigger than that, so we needed to make this song for every individual that wants to remain an individual, that wants to maintain their identity and is sick and tired of anybody, or society, or government, or church, or anyone telling us what to do and who we\u2019re supposed to be. <\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an anthem for anyone who wants to stand up, and say \u2018I\u2019m me. This is who I am, this is what I stand for, and this is what I\u2019ll always be. You\u2019re not gonna take that from me; you\u2019re not gonna take my dream away from me. You\u2019re not gonna take away what I believe in.\u2019 I loved the part where we came up with the lyric which said \u2018There\u2019s always something on your mind, but you\u2019ve never got anything to say and they\u2019re not gonna listen to you anyway.\u2019 It\u2019s an anthem, and then we have something like \u2018Lhasa\u2019, which is completely spiritual. I think that\u2019s gonna be a classic cut that needs to be in the annals of rock history, because if you hear that song, it\u2019s just enormous, it\u2019s heavy and it\u2019s deep, and the middle section is like Pink Floyd. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf you look at \u2018Fire And Ice\u2019, that\u2019s an apocalyptic song about the end of the world, which could be any day now. I mean, I\u2019m not trying to be an alarmist, but people keep doing what they\u2019re doing. We\u2019re destroying each other \u2013 it\u2019s just unconscionable \u2013 so the apocalypse is not as far away as everybody thinks. Then you take \u2018Maybe Tonight\u2019 for example, an AOR, kind of commercial type of hit in my opinion. All the guys said \u2018Yeah, this is a really commercial song,\u2019 and so then they said \u2018No, we\u2019re gonna heavy it up, rock it up.\u2019 I said \u2018Great.\u2019 That\u2019s a great song for AOR radio that was actually written for my wife. So yeah, there are all different kinds of things on there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Each members\u2019 parts weren\u2019t recorded in the same location. \u201cThat\u2019s very interesting,\u201d the vocalist comments. \u201cIt sounds like it. In my opinion, it sounds like we were live. This record\u2019s got so much spark and fire, and everyone\u2019s playing so together that it sounds like we were in the same room at the same time. In fact, it\u2019s very close to sounding live in a way, in sections. I think that when you listen to it, there\u2019s so much excitement in it that it does sound live, but no. We were never in the same room at the same time, ever. The only thing that really influenced us and helped us and assisted us was technology \u2013 Skype, for one. <\/p>\n

\n
<\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cYou could go on Skype while Tony\u2019s gotten a bass part for example, and we\u2019d go \u2018Oh, it\u2019s great. Leave that bit.\u2019 He\u2019d go \u2018Alright,\u2019 or we\u2019d go \u2018Don\u2019t do that bit. Do this bit,\u2019 and then he\u2019d send the file. We\u2019d listen, and then we\u2019d call him back or whatever and say \u2018Try this bit.\u2019 Most of the time we didn\u2019t have to do that though, because he just played brilliantly. We\u2019d just say \u2018That\u2019s it.\u2019 It\u2019s got a lot of big fire and enthusiasm. Everybody\u2019s playing your heart out, but remarkably, no. No-one was in the same room at the same time, and we certainly didn\u2019t have the budget for it. This was a very low budget record, and yet despite that, I think we came out with something really wonderful.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rated X\u2019s members have been around for a number of years, yet the Rated X<\/em> platter shows that the veterans arguably still have plenty to offer. \u201cYeah, it does,\u201d Joe agrees. \u201cI mean, we\u2019re all seasoned geezers here (laughs). We play like we\u2019re 19 years old and that\u2019s a lesson for everyone, that music has no age. Music is forever, and we really believe that. Music keeps you young; it keeps you going, as witnessed by this record. Live, I just think we\u2019re gonna kill people. One journalist asked me \u2018Can you do this live?,\u2019 and I said \u2018Yeah.\u2019 There are no tricks on this album, or any production values on this album. It\u2019s straight ahead; it\u2019s five guys playing. It\u2019s a five-guy classic rock band, and we can duplicate anything that we did live no problem.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rated X plan to perform its debut effort live. \u201cThat\u2019s what we\u2019re working on, is trying to get shows,\u201d the frontman discloses. \u201cI think it\u2019ll catch fire \u2013 I\u2019m hoping so, anyway \u2013 and then the promoters will gladly put us on for festivals. As you know and as I know, these dates are usually booked six months in advance. It\u2019s a struggle, but we are coming out \u2013 we do have some festivals. We do have some dates, and agents are working on this right now. Fingers crossed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rated X concert setlists will naturally include the members\u2019 best known material from yesteryear. \u201cThat\u2019s one thing that the promoters were asking, is \u2018Are they gonna do some of their hits?,\u2019\u201d Joe shares. \u201cWe thought that that would be a good idea to represent each member, and do songs from each of our careers. Believe me, that would be a delight I think for the fans, because you go right around the band, and it makes for a very eclectic kind of set \u2013 for me to do some Rainbow, Purple, for Tony to do some The Firm, or… He\u2019s been in all of these other bands, like Blue Murder with Carmine. Carmine\u2019s got a really great but heavy version of \u2018Do Ya Think I\u2019m Sexy\u2019 by Rod Stewart (from November 1978\u2019s Blondes Have More Fun<\/em>), which he co-wrote. You might laugh at that, but it\u2019s a heavy version. We actually did it at the Rock \u2019N Recovery benefit in New York for Karl, and it\u2019s terrific. It\u2019s like a heavy metal version (laughs). So yeah, we\u2019re gonna be doing some of that as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Material has already been authored in support of a second Rated X outing. \u201cWe\u2019ve already started writing material, absolutely,\u201d the mainman confirms. \u201cNot only us, but our counterparts who are great writers from Sweden, and Nicolo is writing. Karl\u2019s got some stuff, I\u2019ve got stuff already, and Tony \u2013 Carmine too. Carmine writes; he co-wrote \u2018Do Ya Think I\u2019m Sexy\u2019, so it\u2019s really a group effort. It\u2019s really all of us, and our counterparts who are pitching in to make this the best that it could possibly be. We all believe in it so much.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rated X aside, Joe intends to musically take a back-seat for a while. \u201cRight now, I\u2019m taking some time off to just rest and be a person again instead of a road dog,\u201d he explains. \u201cI\u2019ve been working on the road for a very long time, and enjoying it really. Taking some personal time. There are other businesses that I\u2019m interested in outside of music, so I\u2019m working on that \u2013 sort of to diversify myself. Working on Karl\u2019s recovery; we\u2019re doing these benefits like I said, and that kind of thing. I would like to take a short vacation somewhere, a holiday \u2013 that\u2019d be nice. I really am trying to take a breather here right now. There are always things in the fire \u2013 different projects that are being offered, and all that \u2013 but I\u2019m just trying to put them on the back-burner right now. I\u2019m really concentrating on Rated X, and I hope it does very well. So far so good, and of course there\u2019s always the Rainbow reunion (laughs). Always. The completely rumoured, long-awaited Rainbow reunion. You never know with Ritchie (Blackmore, guitarist and Rainbow founder), so we\u2019ll see if that happens.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many Rainbow fans are clamouring for a reunion. To put things into perspective, inaugural Rainbow frontman Ronnie James Dio succumbed to stomach cancer at the age of 67 in May 2010 \u2013 over four years ago. Should Rainbow wish to reunite, time isn\u2019t on their side, and so a potential reunion would have to arguably take place sooner rather than later. <\/p>\n

\u201cYeah,\u201d Joe concurs. \u201cIn my opinion, for Rainbow it would be one last shot and then going out in a blaze of glory so to speak. I think the fans deserve it, and to honour all of the members of Rainbow, past and present. I always feel that in my sets, I play Rainbow, Purple, and things like that because no-one else is doing it. I play Ronnie\u2019s songs and all that stuff, Graham\u2019s (Graham Bonnet, Rainbow vocalist from 1979 until 1980) whatever \u2013 I have no compunction about doing that material. I think it\u2019s all a part of the legacy, and that we should do it willingly as singers of the same band. I know Graham\u2019s still out there doing it as well, and Doogie (White, Rainbow vocalist from 1994 until 1997) in his own way. It\u2019s a big family.\u201d<\/p>\n
