Trinity?
Trinity?
I remember hearing a while back that there was supposed to be a collaboration between Bruce Dickinson, Rob Halford, and Geoff Tate in a band called Trinity. This was a side project that Dickinson formed and I was wondering if anyone knew if anything became of this and if there are any recordings that they made floating around. Because those three could make one killer three part harmony!

I found this interview online and it answers your question.
Rough Edge: Also, I want to know what became of that trinity project [the "big three" vocalist collaboration with Rob Halford and Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson] ... s that kind of over with now?
Geoff Tate: Yeah, I think so. We started talking about it over dinner you know, on the tour. And, as we were talking about it, someone's manager, Halford's or maybe Dickinson's, and the managers started getting all excited about it, because they were seeing dollar signs ... (laughs) ... So, I think they might have been more enthusiastic about it than Rob and Bruce and I. We're really far away from each other musically, you know? We sort of come at music differently, and we just didn't connect together on what we could do. The ideas that I was throwing out were too wild for them, and the ideas they were throwing out weren't wild enough for me, so we weren't really clicking.
Rough Edge: It was hard to find a common ground?
Geoff Tate: Yeah! -- Which you need to do when you're writing. You need to have some kind of connection point. If you can find just one connection point, that usually brings you to another, and gets the ball rolling, but we just really couldn't find that point between the three of us.
