¿Qué se supone que debe hacer Roadrunner Records después de acorralar a 56 músicos de 44 bandas diferentes, para mostrar lo que ha hecho el sello durante sus 25 años de historia? Además de sacar el CD doble Roadrunner United: The All-Star Sessions, ¡MONTAR UN PEDAZO DE FIESTA!
Además de músicos de muchas de las bandas actuales y pasadas del sello, se presentaron allí numerosos amigos y conocidos del sello.
Y por ello, Roadrunner Records se enorgullece de lanzar el Roadrunner United “The Concert”, el próximo lunes 8 de diciembre.
El doble DVD ha estado guardado durante tres años a la espera del momento oportuno para lanzarlo, rememorando así la gala-concierto que tuvo lugar en el Nokia Theater de Times Square en New york City, el 12 de diciembre del 2005. Esa noche enseguida se convirtió en unl acto de culto: “¡Deberías haber estado!” fue la frase más repetida en los siguientes meses dentro del mundo del hard-rock y del metal. Y ahora el sello le entrega a los seguidores más fieles del sello la oportunidad de compartir aquellos momentos.
Roadrunner United “The Concert” captura la intensa fiesta de la velada. Una banda base formada por gente de bandas como SLIPKNOT, SEPULTURA o MACHINE HEAD, tocando clásicos de todo el catálogo Roadrunner.
Algunos de los momentos estelares fueron la adapatación de Corey Taylor de su propio tema Bother (STONE SOUR) con Keith Caputo (LIFE OF AGONY), el cantante original de KILLSWITCH ENGAGE Jesse Leach haciendo dueto con el actual Howard Jones para tocar “My last Serenade”, así como un innumerable surtido de frontmans y cantantes tocando los temas “(sic)” y “Surfacing” de SLIPKNOT, “Davidian” de MACHINE HEAD, “Abigail” de KING DIAMOND, “Refuse/Resist” y “Roots Bloody Roots” de Sepultura o “Black nr. 1” de Type 0 Negative. También se incluyeron 4 temas del CD Roadrunner United: The All-Stars Sessions.
El doble DVD incluye también un documental de 75 minutos con entrevistas, escenas de camerinos o extras que acercan a los fans a la experiencia imborrable del evento.
Este DVD es esencial para los seguidores del sello desde sus inicios como sello importador de discos holandés a la potencia en la que se ha convertido hoy en día, con su sello dorado de calidad en el rock duro, el heavy y el metal.
