Wow, Had no idea about this album till now. Hearing Santana do “while my guitar” and “back in black” will be awesome!
Will also be really interesting to see if his version of little wing lives up to Hendrix and Vaughan.
I will love for sure the guitar part…but what about the VOCAL part?????
nas…rob thomas….linkin park….scott weiland…..shit shit and more shittie vocalists!!!
These crap have NOTHING TO DO with ROCK,they r just alternative-numetal-crossover-grunge GARBAGE!!!
Marco, there are indeed some odd choices however Supernatural had a lot of non rock singers too and that was Santana’s most successful album. Rob Thomas is an obvious choice since Smooth was such a hit. Also I hate to break it to you but grunge is rock and Weiland is a good rock singer. Admittedly he’s not a great singer like Chris Cornell (who also happens to be on the record) but he’s still good.
I’m sorry Saaid but the founders of grunge stated themselves that grunge was NOT rock in the early 90s.
grunge-punk-numetal-rapmetal-emo etc….are just BY-PRODUCTS of rock.
A distorded noisy guitar don’t make automatically the sound “rock” , it needs taste melody and skills in order to do that.
Looking forward to the new Santana album. I actually got to interview him a few months ago. Very interesting guy. You can listen to my interview with him here http://mikecasey.net/carlos-santana-rocking-sin-city

Hate ta tell ya C.R. but this album has been available to hear on downloading jukeboxes such as Rowe and TouchTunes since the begining of summer. A waiter at The Sports Grill Sunset in Miami Told me about it when he played one of the songs and I asked him who that was !!! Imagine my shock hearing one of my all time favorite artists playing classic rock anthems !!
