The Professionals CD »What in the world«
Auf “What In The World” liefern The Professionals die wohl energischten und ehrlichsten Songs ihrer bisherigen Karriere.
“We’re not breaking any musical boundaries - we’re doing what we do best. From the heart with energy and integrity.” (Paul Cook)
Während einer gemeinsamen Tour von Paul Cook und Paul Myers mit Vic Goddard’s Subway Sect entstand die Idee The Professionals wieder auferstehen zu lassen. Als Ersatz für den seit einigen Jahren in den USA lebenden Steve Jones konnte Tom Spencer (The Lurkers) als neuer Frontmann gewonnen werden. Dennoch ließ es sich Steve Jones nicht nehmen auf “What In The World” bei drei Songs selbst Gitarre zu spielen. Ebenfalls auf dem Album als Gastmusiker dabei sind die Punkrock Legende Mick Jones (The Clash), Phil Collen (Def Leppard), Marco Pirroni (Adam & The Ants), Chris McCormack (3 Colours Red), Duff McKagen (Guns ‘n’ Roses) und Billy Duffy (The Cult)

Paul Cook and Paul Myers were reunited on stage touring with Vic Goddard’s Subway Sect. There the idea sprang to revisit The Professionals. New frontman and guitar player Tom Spencer was invited to come to rehearsals, to sing and play guitar while Steve Jones was being lured back to the UK to join. As it became obvious Steve wouldn’t be heading over, and with rehearsals feeling better and better - the new line up was born.
The Professionals are also joined by a stellar cast of guest guitar players including original member Steve Jones (who plays on three tracks). Duff McKagen (Guns ‘n’ Roses), Mick Jones (The Clash), Phil Collen (Def Leppard), Marco Pirroni (Adam & The Ants), Chris McCormack (3 Colours Red) and Billy Duffy (The Cult) also join the party.
