Ripple News - Tommy Iommi, Ian Gillan and Friends - Who Cares Benefit single to be released

Ok Sabbath fans! Just got the previews of the WHO CARES benefit from Ian Gillan & Tony Iommi for the rebuilding of a music school in Gyumri, Armenia. The digital 2 song/single comes out next week. Here's a sneak peak. If you like this sort of up-to-the minute music news, friend us over at the Ripple Effect. You've been forewarned!

WHO CARES — the renewed musical union between legendary DEEP PURPLE singer Ian Gillan and none other than BLACK SABBATH's Tony Iommi: the undisputed master of heavy guitar riffs — will release its debut digital single will be release May 6th via Eagle Rock Entertainment. The physical cd/dvd single will be made available in Europe on May 24 through earMUSIC and June 27th in North America via Eagle Rock Entertainment.

The single features two brand new studio tracks "Out Of My Mind" and "Holy Water", which will raise funds for the rebuilding of a music school in Gyumri, Armenia. The 2 Song - CD single will also contain the video clip of "Out Of My Mind" and a 40-minute documentary that shows Gillan's and Iommi's involvement with the Armenia cause over the years.

The collaboration of Gillan and Iommi, who have worked together before on the SABBATH album "Born Again", is in itself an incredible news for all rock and metal fans and will be the best of surprises to get to know who is completing the band: None other than Jon Lord ("Mr. Hammond", partner with Gillan on all the DEEP PURPLE classics), IRON MAIDEN drummer Nicko McBrain, ex-METALLICA bassist Jason Newsted and HIM guitarist player Mikko "Linde" Lindström are also featured on the two new songs.

Great to hear Gillan and Iommi back together again. I would love to hear the Gillan version of Black Sabbath get back together for an album/tour like they did with Dio.
Dimaension! Great hearing from you. I agree, a reunion would be killer, and maybe more of a possibility now. I dig this particular song.

And how goes Dimaension's music?
