JEFF PILSON Is 'Thrilled Beyond Belief' With 'Phenomenal' New Album Featuring Three-Fourths Of Classic DOKKEN Lineup

Bassist/producer Jeff Pilson (DOKKEN, FOREIGNER) has confirmed that recording sessions for the new album featuring three-fourths of the classic DOKKEN lineup and vocalist Robert Mason (WARRANT, LYNCH MOB) have been completed. Just don't ask him about the name of the group, which was originally reported to be SUPER STROKE.

"The band does have a new name that I cannot tell you, or I'd have to kill you," Pilson recently told writer Clay Marshall. "We're going to wait to make a big announcement, but we do have a new name that we're very, very happy with, and we even have a name for the record. The record is done and recorded. It has to be mixed, yes, but I am thrilled beyond belief with the music and how it's come out. I'm really proud of this record — the songs and the playing and Robert's singing and everybody else's background singing, and George [Lynch] is playing at his peak. It's just a phenomenal record, and I can't wait 'til it comes out."

Pilson said the album will likely be released in April of 2019 via Frontiers Music Srl.

Earlier this year, Mason told the "Talking Metal" podcast that working with Lynch, Pilson and Mick Brown has "given all of us a renewed sense of what it was like to be creating together and maybe even playing together. Jeff and I get along great," he said. "Jeff produced 'Louder Harder Faster', the new WARRANT record. He and I have always been kind of friendly but didn't really know each other until that project, and we got on so well in the studio and elsewhere that it was a real easy tie-in for those three guys to call me up and say, 'Hey, man, we wanna do this record. We don't know what we're gonna call it, but it'll have the DNA of our bands, and it'll be us, but we want it to sound a little different. What do you think?' I was all over it."

Asked if the new project is musically similar to DOKKEN, Robert said: "I don't think it sounds like DOKKEN with me stapled on to it. I honestly didn't want… And it's no disrespect to anything, because I love what they did, and I was a fan — I still am. That wasn't something that I wanted to do. And thankfully, when Jeff and George started playing me demos and their early ideas, it doesn't sound like that. And Mick Brown [told me the other day], 'I'm so stoked about this. The cool thing is it sounds like us, but it doesn't sound like us.' It's Mick's way of saying that, I think, the DNA is there and you hear the influences and you hear who it is and what it is, maybe. We're just making music and having fun, but we are having fun being creative with each other again. And I pray that that translates into the final product and that people will just embrace that."

Last November, Pilson told Glide Magazine about the group's musical direction: "There's definitely some DOKKEN in there. There is a little bit of the straight-ahead LYNCH MOB-ness in certain aspects but then another aspect we get quite musical. It's not progressive but very musical. Some of the songs are pretty epic in their musicality. George is playing his ass off. I mean, the whole band is playing great, I got to say. And Robert is just an amazing singer and it's so much fun. Robert is in WARRANT right now, and he was the second singer for LYNCH MOB. There's a lot of connections in there."

So T&N not really selling that well wasn't enough I guess. I mean, those guys are all pretty good, but how many variations are they going to go through?

Personally, anything that George Lynch is involved in I get to be very interested about.

GEORGE LYNCH Reveals Name Of New Project With JEFF PILSON, MICK BROWN, ROBERT MASON



The new band featuring three members of the classic DOKKEN lineup along with former LYNCH MOB and current WARRANT singer Robert Mason has been christened THE END.

Guitarist George Lynch, who is joined in THE END by his onetime DOKKEN bandmates Jeff Pilson (bass) and Mick Brown (drums), revealed the new group's name during an interview with Idaho's 94.9 & 104.5 The Rock radio station. He said: "I do a lot of records where they're just sort of seat-of-the-pants, which is nothing wrong with that, like KXM and ULTRAPHONIX, [which are] written real quick — we just get in a room and bang it out and just go with our first instincts, and we don't really labor over it. THE END record is really the opposite of that.

"Jeff and I spent a lot of time crafting the songs, as we did in the DOKKEN days," he continued. "I think there's quite a bit of '70s art rock going on in some of these songs, which is pretty cool. It's got the usual groove, heavy rock thing, melodic rock thing, it's got all that — but it's also got that '70s, ELO, ELTON JOHN [vibe] — just really interesting, intelligent, classic changes. It's a very satisfying record to listen to — it's pretty deep, and I think people will really dig it. It doesn't sound like DOKKEN; it doesn't sound like LP [LYNCH/PILSON]; it doesn't sound like LYNCH MOB. It has elements of all that, obviously. I think it's a natural evolution of the LP record that closely it resembles in my mind. It's me and Jeff sitting at his studio working it out, so what you're going to get is really that, with Robert Mason on top of it.

"God, that guy — what a monster," George added, referring to Mason. "Robert's been doing LYNCH MOB shows this year with us — not all of them, but I'd forgotten how powerful he is. Unbelievable singer."

THE END, which was known in its formative stage as SUPER STROKE, will tentatively release its debut album in February 2019.

Pilson recently said he was "thrilled beyond belief" with THE END's disc, telling writer Clay Marshall: "I'm really proud of this record — the songs and the playing and Robert's singing and everybody else's background singing, and George is playing at his peak. It's just a phenomenal record, and I can't wait till it comes out."

Earlier this year, Mason told the "Talking Metal" podcast that working with Lynch, Pilson and Brown has "given all of us a renewed sense of what it was like to be creating together and maybe even playing together. Jeff and I get along great," he said. "Jeff produced 'Louder Harder Faster', the new WARRANT record. He and I have always been kind of friendly but didn't really know each other until that project, and we got on so well in the studio and elsewhere that it was a real easy tie-in for those three guys to call me up and say, 'Hey, man, we wanna do this record.

Turns out the band will have a different name than originally announced:

JEFF PILSON Says New Project With GEORGE LYNCH, MICK BROWN, ROBERT MASON Will Be Called THE END MACHINE

The new band featuring three members of the classic DOKKEN lineup along with former LYNCH MOB and current WARRANT singer Robert Mason has officially been christened THE END MACHINE.

Although guitarist George Lynch said in a recent interview that his new collaboration with his onetime DOKKEN bandmates Jeff Pilson (bass) and Mick Brown (drums) would be called THE END, Pilson clarified during a chat that "Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon" that the actual name will be THE END MACHINE, with "The End" written "in capitals and 'Machine' in small letters."

Asked if THE END MACHINE's music can best be described as "DOKKEN without Don Dokken" or if it's a very different beast, Pilson said: "I wouldn't say it's a very different beast; I would say it's its own beast. I mean, first of all, people naturally assume that there's a competitive thing about it and that it's 'DOKKEN without Don' and all that — that's simply not the case. The real truth of it is that George and I have this great songwriting partnership that's been going on for 35 years, and we love to work together. When we bring Mick into play, we're at home — we're so comfortable as a rhythm section and we work together so well. And Mick is just a tremendous asset to any band — let's face it. So the three of us together do have that chemistry, whether we're doing DOKKEN, or we did a T&N record a few years ago, or whether we're doing THE END MACHINE."

He continued: "George and I wrote a bunch of this music, and then, when Robert Mason got involved, we realized, 'Wow! This is its own animal. This is incredible.' Robert's voice is just so super human; his writing is amazing. And so the three of us doing the writing really formed into something that I think people are gonna be surprised. There are the DOKKEN elements there — no question — and there's a bit of LYNCH MOB in there too. But there's also something very musical about this record. We sort of let ourselves get very musical and kind of deep in spots, but in a very melodic, accessible way.

"We are so incredibly proud of this music. I mean, this record is really… for us, it's a real accomplishment. It sort of stands independent from DOKKEN and it stands independent from LYNCH MOB, although there are definitely elements about that, and you're certainly not gonna mistake George's guitar playing."

Pilson added: "The whole idea of 'is it its own thing as opposed to DOKKEN,' I don't even really spend much time thinking about that — we just do what we do. We created this music; we love this music. We are working on trying to get some shows together, and if we do shows, of course we're gonna do DOKKEN songs. But it's not like we're going out to prove that we can do DOKKEN songs without Don; it's just that when people come to see us, they're gonna wanna hear DOKKEN songs. So why wouldn't we do it? We'll be able to do a wonderful job with them. Robert is such a great singer, and we'll have these three-part harmonies that are killer. So why not?"

Asked if the songs for THE END MACHINE's upcoming debut album were written for the recent reunion of DOKKEN's classic lineup, Pilson said: "I will say that the very early songwriting sessions, with George and I writing the music, we were thinking, 'Well, this could be DOKKEN. Who knows?' We just got together and started writing. But the thought in the back of our mind was, 'Well, maybe there is…' There was a lot of talk, and there was business talk about a possible DOKKEN record. So we wanted to just start writing. We wanted to write and that was kind of probably foremost on our mind. But we also realized very quickly, 'Well, this is kind of becoming its own animal.' And then when Robert got involved, it totally became its own animal. So, I would say it's kind of branched out of the writing that we did for the [recent DOKKEN CD, DVD and Blu-ray, 'Return To The East Live (2016)'], but not very much — only a slight degree."

Pilson also talked about the musical and songwriting chemistry between him, Lynch, Brown and Dokken, saying: "What's so funny about the bonus track ['It's Just Another Day'] on the DOKKEN record ['Return To The East Live (2016)'] is that was one of the least painful recordings DOKKEN has ever made. [Laughs] It was so comfortable and natural — Don's vocals happened very quickly. It's ironic, really, because the band supposedly has so much strife within it or whatever. But on a musical level, chemistry-wise, we kind of can't help but do what we do. Don has a very distinctive voice, and very distinctive melodic sense, George has such a distinctive way of playing, and I think when Mick and Don and I sing, it's very unique. I mean, that is the chemistry — but that was the beauty of DOKKEN, and we appreciate that; we all do. And the thing is, [fans] have to realize is we're still kids at heart, so when George and I get together and start writing, we wanna keep writing. So if the DOKKEN thing doesn't happen for whatever reason, we wanna keep writing. And that's kind of where [THE END MACHINE] sort of came into being, and that's a good thing — that's music happening organically. And I love that. And that's how I feel about this whole record — it just organically became what it is. It goes from very simple, straight-ahead groove-oriented rock to some kind of musical little adventures that are very, very cool. And, like I said, I'm just really, really proud of it."

According to Jeff, who has been a member of FOREIGNER since 2004, the plan is to develop THE END MACHINE into a full-fledged band, with more albums and touring activity to follow. "I look at it in a very long-term way, 'cause I love playing with these guys — I just do," he said. "And yes, for the time being, the amount of live shows we could do will be limited — there's no question. I mean, FOREIGNER has no signs of slowing down yet. But I love playing with these guys and I love making music with these guys. So, yeah, I'm looking at it in the long term; I'm not just thinking of us as a side project for one record. We're looking at it as a band — a band that has contraints because of everyone's schedules, but that doesn't mean we don't have plans and hope in the future to nurture this into something more. There's only one challenge, but it is by far the biggest, and it's very overwhelming, and that's scheduling. The amount I tour with FOREIGNER, which, as I said, will not slow down, at least for the next couple of years. That's a very daunting challenge — it's very hard to work things out."

Having said that, Pilson revealed that "we're on the cusp of announcing — I'm hoping — some [THE END MACHINE] shows at some point next year for the release of the record, and if that can happen, that would be so wonderful — it would very exciting for everybody if we could do some shows with this. But it's been difficult working out timing and getting everybody on board; everybody has their own life, career and bands, so it is very difficult to do," he said. "So that's why, in a sense, the big picture is, let's just take this band forward and let it organically develop and see where it goes, but you can't do a lot of planning because of all the obstacles that schedules make. So you've kind of gotta roll with the punches, play it by ear and just continue to try to make inspired, great music and hope that the power of that music will carry you forward. And that's what I can see happening with the launch of this record — I can see us getting into a situation where we do some shows and really get it off to a good start. I think that would be so wonderful, and what a great way to announce a new band."

THE END MACHINE, which was known in its formative stage as SUPER STROKE, will tentatively release its debut album in early 2019.
