Jeff Scott Soto - Stand Up And Shout



I was reading another blog a Swedish one, called FredrikD

He gave me a reminder of a great singer, Jeff Scott Soto!

Jeff singed with many big names, for example Talisman, Yngwie Malmsteen, Journey, Axel Rudi Pell among many.

Jeff was also in a fictitious heavy metal band featuring real musicians, called Steel Dragon. Its quite funny cos Stones told me when seeing this that he had a guitar pic from that special band in his collection, Its from Zakk, Thats so cool! Lemme show u.



Anyway they were created to appear in the Warner Bros. film Rock Star (2001), inclusively being responsible for the movie's original soundtrack and this tune comes from that film. In this "band" we have many musicians that I like, singers were Jeff, Michael Matijevic and Myles Kennedy. Additional musicians helped compose and perform the songs were:
Zakk Wylde (Black Label Society, Ozzy Osbourne), Jeff Pilson (Dio, Foreigner, Dokken), Jason Bonham (Foreigner, The Who, Black Country Community), Jason Flemyng (Actor), Mark Wahlberg (Actor) and Dominic West (Actor). Thats something huh!?!



Jeff Scott Soto´s style is typical of heavy metal vocalists of the 1980s, but he is also influenced by classic soul music singers such as Sam Cooke as well as Journey vocalist Steve Perry, and Freddie Mercury from Queen.



Jeff has done 10 solo albums and several with others. He also sang back vocals with many artists, Dokken, Lita Ford, Slagther and on the song "Here we are" in the movie Mad Max.

So this guy is really productive!

Lets hear him sing :)

Peace, Thetania
