Original Version of "Seven Oceans"


Johnny Neon - This is a special version of Seven Oceans... It was the last song I wrote while living in Europe, and traveling ever-constantly to and from the US and Asia (11 years worth 100+X). It is a semi-acoustic version with Tony Ventouris playing a solo I wrote on keyboards exactly as I wrote it, (which is impossible to do on a normal guitar). Tony has his own endorsement, and a very special guitar with seven octaves. If you play guitar, try to play along, you will find that "mid solo" you can't follow him anymore because it goes to high :o) .

Another very cool part of the history involving Seven Oceans, is that the second version (more Rush-like) is my new album, and the song shall appear at #7 on every album I do from now on (in a different style). I intend to share with my fans, and friends, the ability to transcend any style of song to any other style so desired. A great tune, with a really commercial feel to it, and the version for American Dream Part II is.... Big Band :o)
Tony Sciuto

"The Feeling" , is another special song, because yet another celbrity guest is playing the guitar solo on that track. Mr. Tony Sciuto, has his own gold record title, and has played all over the world. Tony was in Uncle Charlies band on TV "Full House" (or I should say he was the band,lol), and he was also part of one of the original line-up of "The Little River Band." 

Explanation of "Love So Far Away" track 4 from "American Dream Part I"

Demian Bell

"Love so far away" - was the song that got the record deal offer, as it was written for my son Collin, that meant a lot ! then to take it one step farther, I invited a celebrity guest to play guitar on the track. Mr. Demian Bell, has three gold records, and most of the world knows his guitar playing from the song "Brown eyed girl" , with Van Morisson.

National Press Release USA ~ 9-11-2011

Englewood, FL – Local talented musician, Johnny Neon, will be releasing his new album “American Dream – Part I” on Sunday, September 11, 2011.  American Dream is designed to be a rock-opera style production, which highlights a patriotic, non-political musical message with a modern rock sound.  Neon was inspired by Roger Water’s masterpiece “The Wall” of Pink Floyd Fame.  Neon’s new effort has captured a sound and feeling that is moving, inspirational, yet instantly familiar, infused with soothing melodies.  Neon is developing a full multimedia stage production, with film, laser lights, and pyrotechnics and is planning a tour in early 2012 as well.

Each track on the new album speaks to an aspect of what makes living in America great!  The musical arrangements and vocal mixes are very reminiscent of Robert Plant’s early 80’s solo efforts of Led Zeppelin fame, modern rockers Cold Play, and the track “Uncle Sam” sounds like something you would find on  The Beatles “White Album”.

The official release of “American Dream – Part I” will be deliberately held on 9/11.  Neon hopes releasing his music on that day will help remind all of us that we do live in the greatest country in the world, in spite adversity, through our diversity, the United States of America is just as strong and united as we have ever been! The American Dream is still alive and well…

Songs like the title track, “American Dream”, as well as others like “Uncle Sam”, are destine to become instant classics, receiving airplay around the world.  It is Neon’s hope that his music helps to unite the country and becomes a positive force that all American’s can embrace.  The lyrics are patriotic, yet non-political, which going into a major election year, will appeal to Republicans, Democrats, Independents, and even The Tea Party people alike…

For more information on Johnny Neon, his new release “American Dream – Part I” on September 11, 2011, and to listen to some pre-release samples of the album, visit: www.JohnnyNeon.com.

A U.S. College Tour
A U.S. Arena Tour of 35 Major Cities
A Tour on the stages of American Theaters
A World Tour
Reality Show Concepts
Our Panel of judges shall shall be comprised of a professional recording engineer. Our panel shall also
include a representative from the major record label offering a deal to the winning warm up band.
A known music celebrity and myself shall be a panel members. Finally, my band members will be a
subpanel of judges that I may deliberate with during the show.
Talent search cities would include: Tampa,FL ~ Austin,TX ~ Los Angeles,CA ~ San Francisco,CA ~
Seattle,WA ~ Chicago,IL ~ New York,NY ~ Baltimore,MD
The opening show would encompass my history/rockumentry, the story behind the album and project.
Our intentions with the project results and successes, into the construction of the Vegas set, and all the
behind the scenes drama.
Bands who are passed by the judges will come to Vegas, and perform one more original (required to be
different from the one that got them there).
American votes on who gets the warm up contract for our tour of the USA (both colleges & arenas).
Winning band would also get a record deal from our sponsor company.
As we tour, with a “Free” show, proceeds from the $17.76 parking fees from each show are listed on a
giant digital board (like the national debt), showing exactly how much we have raised for each (disaster
area, or in non-disasrter areas become concert guests stimulous chacks) city chosen prior to the
tour. Merchandise is pure net. The sponsoring companies are paying their taxes , and our tour costs,
simultaneously prior to departure.

Album Mission:
A phenominal show, a “Theatrical Production”, delivering such
enormous caliber, stage settings, video support on big screen,
professional sound, lighting, special effects which include the
newest fireworks and pyrotechnics to date, the latest laser
technologies, and an hour “front to back” performance of the original
music , and followed by a melee of the classics (show time 1hour
30minutes). A performance like the great icons, from the 1960's &
70's, and an entire lifetime in preparation for this. When we hear the
Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Rush, Yes, Queen, Peter Gabriel,
we can definitely associate with Johnnyneon, and also have an
understanding he belongs in “the classic rock” genre. This show will
bring to the stage of every performance an example of someone from
every city, who is living the American Dream. Finally, many
companies and individuals, who are struggling through these
economic times, chosen from every city, shall receive help, and
benefit directly from the show, in their own city.

In a time and place, which had begun as the rare stillness, of any
Winter's morning snow, a place in the "wild", beyond monarchs,
and tyranny. A free world where every man, and woman, could
be driven by their personal desires, and aspirations, without
conflict. A chance to build one's life around the very instincts and
passions that get you out of bed, in a hurry, to persue your dreams
each day.
It was America! A land far from the maps of the charted eastern
world. A place which took such momentum in popularity and
growth. This world could no longer remain silent, or refute its
existence. The sleeping giant, whom captured the attention of an
entire world had finally awaken, and taken its place on the map.
Playwright : Alan Navarre will impliment his magical writing
talent, into a play encompassing the albums music, in association
with the life and “The Story of Uncle Sam.” A theatrical, fiction,
based on true points in our country's history, taking place on a
fictional timeline, “WWI ~ Our present day.” (This is a double
album)
History repeats itself with “American Dream, Part I”. Nothing derivative
here. Johnnyneon synergizes the heart of the 1960's originality —
Beatles, Led Zeppelin,Traffic, Electric Light Orchestra, Genesis, with a
touch of Brazilian jazz à la Eliane Elias (“Once As A Child”). A music
revelation for everyone with ears.
If you had the chance to show and say, just how much you cared for
the Amercan Dream... and could be a part of it, as so many here in the
USA are, and so many more outside yearn for daily.
What would you do, and why? And how would you do it?
This has become so much more than myself, my story, my album, or
my personal American Dream. It is about everybodys right to dream, a
persons right to dream is the key to unlocking total inspiration, and now
it's become my story to share, and covet, and I cannot wait to bring it's
delicate message to you, and the rest of our world while helping to
preserve it for future generations to come...

Pollster, a trade publication that covers the concert industry globally, released a North American poll ranking the top-grossing concert tours of 2010, as well as worldwide rankings. Bon Jovi took the top spot in both polls.

According to Pollster, the rock legend made $109 million in the United States and a total of $201 million around the world -- playing 80 shows in their global tour.

Second place in the North American poll was a tie between Roger Waters and AC/DC. Since going back on tour in 2008, AC/DC put on a total of 40 shows around the world, grossing $177 million. Waters made nearly $90 million, playing in 35 cities.

According to the rankings, the top 50 tours around the world took in a total of $2.93 billion -- down about 12% from last year. A total of 28.3 million tickets were sold, down 7% from last year; and the average ticket price increased $2.86, or about 4%.

The remaining top 10 North American tours include Dave Mathews Band, Paul McCartney, Michael Bublé, Eagles, Lady Gaga, James Taylor/Carole King, The Black Eyed Peas and John Mayer.

The top five money-making concerts around the globe were Bon Jovi, followed by AC/DC, U2, Lady Gaga and Metallica.
