Hi M Weeks. R U Mike Weeks who preformed "Boyz Are Gonna Rock" (with Andre LaBelle & T.J. Racer) on the Kiss My Ankh tribute ?
I got Jesus in my fax machine. I saw Ho Chi Minh down @ Burger King. I dated Vinnie Vincent as a Drag Queen. I still don't understand a f**kin' thing.

Awesome playing. Love the panning effects. So Man you played with Andre LaBelle & Tj Racer... And Robert Fleischman. That's Killer.

'The album kicks into high gear with the explosive Vinnie Vincent Invasion anthem "Boyz Are Gonna Rock" by Mike Weeks (guitarist on the most recent solo offering from original Invasion vocalist Robert Fleischman), alongside former Nitro bassist T.J. Racer and drummer Andre LaBelle, who himself played drums on Vinnie Vincent's fabled yet unreleased third album, "Guitars From Hell." '

Great! :evil: Another more talented guitarist that I have too kill!!!! :P :P

We'll have to start a thread on how you learnt "Boyz" for the tribute album! How many sleepless nights, broken fingers and guitar necks etc.......

@Full shred Thank you, the only real story is that hes got a great record coming out in the very near future. Unfortunately I cant be in two places at the same time or I would love to be involved. Nashville is a great music community and just makes sense for anyone to live here with great musical passion, I also have two very young daughters and felt it was a good time to make the move before they start their education.
@shramiac The thing about it was that I had been somewhat versed in his style ever since I got the instruction video in '88. That gave me an advantage as opposed to going in cold for sure, but it still took someone willing to climb the mountain. It is definately a solo with many twists and turns to say the very least.

Mike you did a great job on your version of Boyz Are Going To Rock. You sound very much like Vinnie except actually more fluid and smoother on this song!

Welcome here brother!

Thank you bro and I appreciate your positive words.

@Full shred
Im glad you liked the record I played on with Robert. As far as how I got connected with him goes... its a story that every musician in central Illinois area has probably heard 2 or 3 times through the grapevine. I'll try to condense it down if your really interested.
