There are bad records and then there are broken records … and by golly gosh are we covering a broken record this week!

28th March 2008 was a dark day for music, as it saw the release of Concerto in True Minor, the debut album from True Symphonic Rockestra. Masterminded by German producer Dirk Ulrich, the inspiration for Concerto in True Minor came from The Three Tenors. Ulrich sought to create a project that brought together the worlds of rock, opera and musicals in perfect synergy.

Unfortunately, Ulrich didn’t have Messers Carreras, Domingo and Pavorotti on speed dial, so instead he brought in Vladimir Grishko, an Opera Tenor who (apparently) was the Cultural Minister of the Ukraine (according to the True Symphonic Rockestra website at least), Thomas Dewald, a tenor who may or may not have murdered some kids and James LaBrie AKA the worst thing to happen to Dream Theater. Herr Ulrich imaginatively called the trio … The Three Rock Tenors … what a vivid imagination he must have.

Ulrich had the following to say about the project. ‘This is a new, unique combination of these two forces and probably the first time ever to feature two world class tenors and one of the most respected voices in rock on one entire album.’ It’s safe to say that neither Steve nor Remfry agree, but exactly how bad is Concerto In True Minor?

Oh and we also throw shade at Andrew Lloyd Webber cause he’s an absolute bell!
