KORN drummer Ray Luzier, THE WINERY DOGS/MR. BIG bassist Billy Sheehan and former ANTHRAX singer Neil Turbin performed a cover version of the DEEP PURPLE classic “Highway Star” last night (Wednesday, July 1) at Lucky Strike in Hollywood, California. The trio was accompanied during the performance — which was part of the weekly “Jam Night” at the venue — by guitarist Mayuko Okai. Check out video footage below.
Neil co-wrote and sang on ANTHRAX‘s debut album, “Fistful Of Metal”, and co-authored most songs on “Armed And Dangerous”, and a couple songs on “Spreading The Disease”, which he performed live with ANTHRAX on their first North American tour in 1984.
First-call touring and session drummer, Luzier is known for his high-profile gigs with David Lee Roth, Jake E. Lee and ARMY OF ANYONE, and has been a member of KORN since 2007. From movie soundtracks to rock and metal albums, Luzier‘s playing can currently be found on over 70 recordings. As an educator, he was a Musicians Institute instructor for over 10 years and author of a well-regarded, self-titled instructional DVD.
Billy Sheehan rose to cult hero status in the ’80s with his Buffalo-based band TALAS, and he was recruited by David Lee Roth to record two platinum-selling albums, “Eat ‘Em & Smile” and “Skyscraper”. He then launched the band MR. BIG in 1989 with guitarist Paul Gilbert and singer Eric Martin.
