Tmg Ii

Tmg (TAK MATSUMOTO GROUP), TAK MATSUMOTO's solo project formed in 2004 is coming back after 20 years! In March of 2024, Tmg (Tak Matsumoto Group) announced that it would restart with it's original members Tak Matsumoto (guitar, member of the Japanese rock superstars B'z), Jack Blades (Night Ranger) and Eric Martin (Mr Big) for the first time in 20 years and the long-awaited new album "Tmg II" is finally released. This new work, which is the first in 20 years, not only features Matsumoto's solid and delicate guitar playing, but also Eric Martin's vocals, which emotionally sing fantastic melodies, and Jack Blades bass lines, which aggressively liven up the song. Listening to the album, the fans have the impression that the past 20 years, in which each member has continued to be active, was not a hiatus for the band, but a preparation period for the unique Tmg rock sound to gain even more power: a full-fledged 2nd album! The recording line-up for this album include Matt Sorum, (Guns N' Roses and Velvet Revolver) on drums, and Yukihide "YT" Takiyama, who is well known for recording and live support for B'z, on guitar and arrangements. The album opener "CRASH DOWN LOVE" has an impressive and catchy melody that seems to symbolize the new Tmg sound, while "GUITAR HERO'", whose lyrics were written by Jack Blades with Tak in mind, may be the best example of the new sound for the international markets. "I was able to create a truly exciting and convincing piece of work with my wonderful band members' says Tak. The Japanese metal stars BABYMETAL, appear as special guest in a killer and groovy Dance-Metal song "Eternal Flames" and their duet with Eric Martin is really unique and pleasant.
