JEFF'S MISCELLANEOUS
1985 - Driver - Jeff left Yngwie Malmsteen's band to work with Rudy Sarzo
and Tommy Aldridge in Driver, but departed after three weeks due to
musical differences. No recordings were made.
1985 - L'Amour - Jeff formed this band after leaving Driver, and it featured
his brother Joey on drums. They recorded a four-song demo, but Jeff rejoined
Yngwie Malmsteen's band in 1986 for the _Trilogy_ tour, which broke L'Amour up.
1985 - L.A. Rocks- Early incarnation of Eyes that Jeff was briefly involved with. Jeff was
not particularly keen on the material the band was working on at the time,
so he went on to other projects, but he united with what had then become Eyes in 1988
and recorded a ten-track demo (which was later released as
the _Windows Of The Soul_ CD). However, the band wasn't happy with their sound and
direction, so they essentially started from scratch and recorded new material, which
eventually became the Eyes self-titled debut CD.
1987 - Carrera- Short-lived, local L.A. band that Jeff hooked up with after leaving
Yngwie Malmsteen's band for the second time, and prior to working with Kuni.
No recordings were made.
1987 - Vinnie Vincent - Vinnie wrote several songs and hired Jeff to demo them on Vinnie's
twelve-track recorder at home. Jimmy Waldo played keyboards. Vinnie was hoping to
sell these tracks to publishing companies who might get artists looking for material to
cover them (I don't know if this ever happened though).
1990 - Bad Jim (movie soundtrack) - Jeff sang one track ("Renegade") used in this movie.
No soundtrack was released.
1991 - "Ice" - demo-recording for a drug movie (unreleased)
1991 - Rich Girl (movie soundtrack) - Jeff did all of the lead vocals for the actor
(Don Michael Paul) who plays a singer in this movie. He was credited as "Jay Essess"
in the end credits. No soundtrack was released.
1991 - 1993 - Slam - Jeff formed Slam in 1991 with guitarist George Bernhardt. In
addition to Jeff and George, the band featured several other players throughout it's
brief history, and a series of demos was recorded during that time. While searching for
a band name, George joked that they should name the band after the fact that their
music "slammed," so that's how the band's name originated.
1993 - Keystone Beer commercial (for television
1994 - Mr. Pibb commercial (for radio)
1994 - Maggie's Dream - Jeff auditioned for this New York-based band in 1994, but
ultimately did not become a member.
1994 - Genaro - In an attempt to get Talisman distribution in South America, the track
"All + All" (from _Humanimal_) was recorded in Spanish, and a limited number of CD
singles were sent out to Spanish radio stations in Europe and South America. The artist
name of "Genaro" was used on the single, a tribute to Jeff's uncle, who passed away a
few weeks before the recording was made. The cover of the single featured Jeff wearing
"Latin lover" clothes and sunglasses, with his hair tied back. The idea was to get the
Spanish communities hyped on this "new" artist and single, then break the mystery of it
really being Talisman, which would hopefully ensure proper distribution in those
territories, as well as making Talisman a contender with other artists in those
markets right from the start. Due to poor promotion, this plan did not work, and the
Genaro single disappeared quickly.
"Todo Y Todo" also appears on _Humanimal Part II.
1995 - Patrick Muldoon - Jeff, Jody Whitesides, Julie Greaux, and Simone Speigel
were writing and working on demos in early 1995 for an album project by actor
Patrick Muldoon (Melrose Place). This project was later aborted once Muldoon got the
Melrose Place gig, though it may be resurrected at a later date.
1995 - Iron Man (cartoon) - Jeff sang the opening/closing theme.
1995 - Night Stalkers (cartoon) - Jeff did a quick one-line vocal part in the opening theme.
1995 - 2000 Boogie Knights - Jeff performed with this popular disco cover band,
primarily on the West Coast with one CD released.
1996 - H.T.'s Song (movie soundtrack) - In the summer of 1996, Jeff recorded the
title track for a short, independent film that Ricky Phillips starred in and wrote the
music for. The producer ultimately wanted Ricky to sing the song, so Jeff's version
was not used in the film. No soundtrack was released.
1996 - Ricky Phillips: For about a year, Jeff wrote songs with former Bad
English/Coverdale Page bassist Ricky Phillips. Also working with them was guitarist
named Marcus Nand. They were centered around a Seal/Sting/Beatles vein,
without sounding like either, and the material has been described by Jeff as "bluesy
at times, nostalgic at others, jazzy, and even R&Bish." The tentative name of this
project is Ku De Ta. At the present time, there are no set plans for any release.
1997 - Cracker (TV show) - Jeff did lead vocals for the actor portraying a
singer/serial killer in this ABC drama, which originally aired on October 23, 1997.
1999 - The Replacements - unreleased movie soundtrack
2000 - Queen Of The Damned - unreleased movie soundtrack
2000 - 2001 - Rock Star - Mark Wahlberg/Jennifer Aniston movie 'Rock Star'.
The movie is about a Judas Priest-type band in the 80's who's singer decides 2
leave the band (like Rob Halford did)....Jeff does the voice 4 this character who
is portrayed by Jayson Fleming of the English cult hit movie 'Lock, Stock & Two
Smoking Barrels'). Wahlberg is a singer in a 'tribute' band of the 'Priest' band &
just like Judas Priest did in real life, they get Wahlberg 2 replace the departed singer.
Zakk Wylde, Jeff Pilson & Jason Bonham are in the 'main' band, both in the movie
& on the soundtrack of the songs. Jeff is doing 4 songs 4 the movie & 2 additional.
tracks 4 the soundtrack album. National release 9/7/2001.
2000 - George Of The Jungle - appearance on the movie soundtrack
2000 - Flubber - appearance on the movie soundtrack

Bubble Boy with possibly another big soundtrack slated in the near future

OTHER NOTES
Skrapp Mettle promotional CD single with Dweezil Zappa (1991)
Around the time the Skrapp Mettle album was released, Dweezil Zappa acquired a copy of the CD, found out who was involved with the project, and offered his guitar services should there be any future Skrapp Mettle recordings. Thinking it would help to get radio play, the producer decided to include Dweezil on two existing tracks, and a two-track CD single was released to radio featuring "Star Hag" and "Sherbert," both of which are "Special Radio Mixes Featuring Dweezil Zappa."
Talisman Life-CD remix (1995) - Jeff and company were not happy with the initial mix of the Life-CD, but since their (former) Japanese record label wanted to stick to a firm release schedule, the so-called "unsatisfactory" mix of the album had to be sent to Japan for release there. Since the European release was several months later, the album was totally remixed and "patched up" to the band's satisfaction for the European market. Thus, there are two distinct mixes of the Life-CD. It's also worth noting that the Japanese CD features two exclusive bonus tracks.
