Cactus have shared a new video for “The Little Red Rooster” featuring Dee Snider (Twisted Sister) and Tracii Guns (L.A. Guns). You can watch that below. The track is from the band’s new album, “Temple Of Blues II,” which will be released on April 3.
Carmine Appice commented:
“It was great working on ‘The Little Red Rooster’ with Dee and Tracii. I arranged it with the drums first, then sent it to Artie Dillion and Ed Terry for their feedback. We created the demo with Ed’s amazing vocals for Tracii, Dee and James Haslip who finished the song. Ed was gracious sitting on the sidelines for this one so Dee could sing the lead vocals. It was such an honor to have Dee on the song and to have him make an appearance in the video, especially since he’s retired now. The song rocks!”
Snider added:
“Cactus! The name conjures such amazing memories for me. An inspiration for the rock I would play in the years to come. Can you imagine what it was like to ‘get the call’ that your heroes want you to rock with them? Mind-blowing! And now to be asked for second time!? What a treat to dig into a blues classic like ‘The Little Red Rooster’ with Cactus!!! Hell yeah!!”

Sanguisugabogg have parted ways with guitarist Cedirk Davis. According to the band, the decision was “mutual.”
The group commented:
“Informing you that we have mutually decided to part ways with one of our long standing guitarists and friend Cedrik Davis. Ced leaves the band with an outstanding legacy that lasts almost 6 of the 7 years as a band. His contributions in our band will always be honored and forever be unnoticed as well as all the laughs and memories we have made along the way. We wish Cedrik the very best in his life, for his child and all his future endeavors.
On our current tour we will be performing our set with the same lineup we had used while in Europe. Our drummer, producer and founding member Cody Davidson will be holding it down on guitar alongside Drew Arnold and we have Eric Morotti hammering away on drums. This lineup is tight and sounds insane live so you are in for a treat if you catch us out!”
