The Reunion of The All Original Line Up
Featuring
Vinny Appice, Danny Johnson, and Jay Davis
Axis was a power trio made up of Danny Johnson (guitar/vocals), Jay Davis (bass, vocals), and Vinny Apice (drums) that made only one album, It's a Circus World, in 1978. Axis was a legendary band with Shreveport , Louisiana as its home base with local guitar hero, Danny Johnson, the drummer's drummer Vinny Appice and bassist Jay Davis.
Axis members, Vinny Appice and Danny Johnson later joined forces in NY with Rick Derringer in the 70's as the band DERRINGER.
After leaving DERRINGER, Danny and Vinny reunited with Jay Davis and put AXIS back together to record “It’s A Circus World” for RCA.
The ageless rock anthems of 'Armageddon' and 'Bandits of Rock' foreshadow the incredible marks that these individuals went on to make on the history of Rock N Roll.
In 2008 the original Derringer band reunited for a tour and hopefully more great rock and roll hoochie coo! Do you want to go to Heaven? Do it - rock n' roll style with Axis!
Guitar World Magazine:
“His roots lie in the Blues, Chuck Berry, B.B.King, Jimi Hendrix, His Style combines the soulful qualities of those types of players, with the ardor and fire of more contemporary musicians.”
Rolling Stone Magazine:
“The band’s real find is Danny Johnson, who has stretched Hendrix and Clapton style riffs into a style of his own.”
Cream Magazine:
“Wrapped up in a skinny frame with a Les Paul that looks out at the audience and says “Hi, I’m gonna rip your ears off before the night it over.”
Circus Magazine:
“Danny looks like a cross between Jimmy Page and Keith Richards, and plays like a cross between Hendrix and Clapton, all without copying anybody. Danny has something very few players have, that outrageousness that makes a great live guitarist. Danny understands that all is fair in love, war, and rock n roll. He’s absolutely shameless.”
