Wednesday, December 19: Magnum, “On the Edge of the World”

“On the Edge of the World” presented the more hard rock-oriented side of Chase the Dragon, showcasing the particular chemistry of Magnum’s best lineup and setting its members up for lengthy careers in and around the AOR universe.  Magnum was never the heaviest of hitters, as they essentially updated the template laid out by Uriah Heep a decade earlier and, in a lot of ways, created an early (and more British) version of the sound Bon Jovi would take to the bank about 5 years later.  Bob Catley wasn’t a screamer, nor was he a crooner exactly, but his smooth vocals fit the foundation established by Tony Clarkin’s riffing, while Mark Stanway’s keyboards were flashy but not overly obtrusive.  “On the Edge of the World” was about as regal as melodic hard rock got in 1982, and succeeded in building up Magnum’s profile in the UK.

Mark Stanway verlässt Magnum sofort

Aaaahhhh, das ist dicke Post. Keyboarder Mark Stanway verlässt Magnum per sofort. Die Band befindet sich gerade auf Tour und hat eigentlich noch drei Daten zu absolvieren, Mark Stanway hat jedoch mitgeteilt auch bei diesen drei verbliebenen Daten nicht mehr Teil von Magnum zu sein. Unumstössliche Umstände haben den Keyboarder nach 36 Jahren bei der Band dazu gebraucht, eine seiner schwersten Entscheidungen seines Lebens zu treffen. Hier noch das volle Statement von Mark;

“Due to irrevocable circumstances, I am deeply saddened to announce that I have made one of the most difficult decisions in my life – I have officially left Magnum. I apologise to anyone who was maybe hoping to see me personally over the next few days, but sadly I will not be there. However, I should like it known, that, I am and will remain extremely proud to have been a small part of it all for the past 36 years or so and wish the band and organisation all the best for the future. I will of course firmly remain in music and hope to see many of you a little further down the road.”

Nun ist Magnum am Zug dies zu kommentieren. Bassist Al Barrow hat auf jedenfall schon mitgeteilt, dass die verbleibenden drei Shows noch wie geplant stattfinden werden. Also ich bin ja gespannt wie ein Pfeilbogen, und würde gerne wissen was da los gewesen ist. So mir nichts dir nichts nach 36 Jahren eine Band zu verlassen, wird echt schwerwiegende Gründe haben. Aber wir werden es ja bestimmt noch in irgendeiner Form mitkriegen.

Magnum - Escape From the Shadow Garden

Magnum – Escape From the Shadow Garden

SPV/Steamhammer

Review by Rick Ossian

Live Till You Die sucks us in with a violin and xylophone intro, but something tells me that’s not going to be the core of this worthy opener.  It is another of the six-and-a-half minute sojourns into life that Magnum appears to be hell-bent on taking us along on. It is a heavier tune, replete with ripping barre chord riffs (Tony Clarkin)  and galloping…

Robert [Plant] does an amazing amount of work for charity, mostly non-publicised. He is a genuinely benevolent person, one of the most generous I have ever met in fact.
