Информация о артисте
Проект Hardline появился на свет, когда братья Johnny (вокал) и Joey (гитара) Gioeli образовали сначала группу Brunette, объединившись с гитаристом Journey/Bad English Нилом Шоном (Neal Schon). Изначальный план Нила не состоял в том, чтобы создать Hardline, но ему так понравилось всё происходящее, что он решил присоединиться к группе, как только ушёл из Bad English из-за трений с Джоном Уэйтом (John Waite). Они немедленно добавили в основной состав зарекомендовавших себя музыкантов Тодда Дженсена (Todd Jensen) (David Lee Roth, Alice Cooper - бас) и Дина Кастроново (Deen Castronovo) (тоже из Bad English - ударные), и результат был просто великолепен. Они продолжили, записав дебютный альбом “Double Eclipse” для MCA в 1992 году, и отправились в мировое турне с такими монстрами, как Van Halen и Mr. Big. Первый сингл с “Double Eclipse” был песней "Hot Cherie". Она никогда не была особенно популярна в широких кругах, но постоянно звучала на некоторых радиостанциях, так что число поклонников Hardline начало стремительно расти. Они выпустили видео для MTV, но оно не имело особенного эфира. К тому моменту солнце гранжа и альтернативы уже клонилось к закату, и мелодический рок постепенно выплывал на поверхность. Тем не менее, напряжение внутри группы, проблемы со звукозаписывающей компанией и эгоизм некоторых участников встали на пути нового альбома, несмотря на то, что у группы было вполне достаточно готового написанного материала.
В то время как Neal возобновил свои приключения с Journey в 1995 году (снова вместе с Дином Кастроново), Johnny вышел на время из музыкального бизнеса, чтобы когда-нибудь вернуться, как это некогда сделал вокалист Axel Rudi Pell в 1998 году для альбома “Oceans Of Time”. Но несколько лет спустя Johnny и его брат Joey были опять готовы продолжать с Hardline после звонка с Frontiers Records, с новым основным составом, в который вошли знаменитый ударник Bob Rock (Nelson, Vinnie Vincent’s Invasion), ведущий гитарист Josh Ramos (The Storm, Two Fires), басист Chris Maloney и клавишник Michael T. Ross (Accomplice) и новым материалом. Естественно, что удивительным результатом стал Hardline “II”, спродюсированный студийным ветераном Бобом Барчем (Bob Burch). Этот альбом представляет из себя долгожданное возвращение мастеров хард-рока, которое рисует перед нами удивительный "пейзаж" на многие годы, а также пророчит грядущее развитие этого музыкального жанра!

More than one artist exists by this name:
1) Hardline was a melodic hard rock supergroup that appeared on the U.S. heavy music scene at the wrong time to make any sort of lasting impact yet managed to make some popular arena ready tunes. The group was formed by brothers, and former Brunette band members, Johnny (vocals) and Joey Gioeli (guitar). They recruited former Bad English members Neal Schon (a guitarist best known for his work in Journey) and Deen Castronovo (drums). Bassist Todd Jensen, who'd worked with Doro and David Lee Roth, rounded out the band.
The group began a major tour with Van Halen prior to the release of an album. Their one and only release, 1992's Double Eclipse, featured a platter of upbeat melodic hard rock reminiscent of the 80s metal boom, tracks that arguably showed an even harder edge than that of Bad English. While that album has received praise from several critics, it appeared at a time when alternative rock was ascendant, getting a modest commercial response. Schon, Jensen, and Castronovo took time away from the band to work with seminal solo artist Paul Rodgers. However, the Gioeli's felt the other members were spending too much time on side projects, and Hardline ended up folding sadly before too long.
Schon and Castronovo would rejoin Journey in the late 90s. Jensen worked and toured with Alice Cooper while Johnny Gioeli sang on Axel Rudi Pell's Oceans Of Time album. A new version of Hardline consisting of the Gioeli's, Josh Ramos (guitar), Chris Maloney (bass), Bobby Rock (drums, ex-Vinnie Vincent Invasion) and Michael Ross (keyboards) released Hardline II roughly ten years after the band's debut. With the addition of Bob Burch on bass, Hardline played select live dates with one of those shows being released as a live album. However, the group folded as they failed to re-discover their fanbase
Since 1998, Johnny Gioeli had been the frontman for the Axel Rudi Pell band, touring many times over in Europe and performing at the Wacken Open Air festival, a huge metal rock fest held each year outside of Hamburg, Germany. He is known to be one of very few vocalists who can sing in a range that includes melodic rock, hard rock, and metal. The long awaited Hardline third album, Leaving the End Open, came out in mid-2009. Hardline has toured sporadically since, with a line-up of Johnny Gioeli, Josh Ramos (guitar), Michael T. Ross (keyboards), Jamie Brown (bass), and Atma Anur (drums), and the band is now considered defunct.
2) Hardline was a Norwegian hard rock band active in the early 80s based in Trondheim. They released a self-titled album in 1984, issued in Europe on the Belgian Mausoleum label. Failing to find an audience, they soon folded.
3) Hardline is a electro project from USA, with anti-PC themes. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
