Queensrÿche

[Jyyd]

^^ Ajomatka; eiks juna muka tuo?

Toki tuo, mutta ei nappaa istua 8-9h junassa yhteen suuntaan ja edestakas tuo kustantais about 160e. Autolla pitää hurautella menemään jos lähtö tulee

Tyypillistä moukan tuuriani ... Liian kaukana meikäläisen kukkarolle. Noh ei auta kuin odotella että joskus tulevat etelämmäksi tulevaisuudessa.

Näin se voi olla itelläkin mutta katotaan nyt.

Mutta olen siis helvetin tyytyväinen että näin nopeasti reagoitiin ja QR saatiin suomeen keikalle nyt kun bändi on syntynyt uudestaan. Eiköhän tuolla keikalla voiteta myös monia uusia diggareita bändin puolelle mikä on aina hienoa.

Ei tuu muita keikkoja Suomeen 2013.

Tää taitaa olla tuon käynnissä olevan lakijutun syytä kun jo nyt noin varmaksi tuon voi sanoa, tai sitten bändi näkee kannattavaksi tämän vaihtoehdon näin matkustuskustannustenkin takia mikä on ymmärrettävää. Kaiken lisäksi ruotsalaiset fanit esim. Luulajan tienoilta ovat vain parin tunnin ajomatkan päässä joten hekin pääsevät suht kätevästi tonne. Eiköhän Oulun yleisö kuitenkin vakuuta QR:n pojat keväällä niin hyvin että tuo ei jää vikaksi keikaksi suomessa.

Voihan tuokin olla syy. Luultavasti kuitenkin neuvottelupoliittinen asia, eli Jalometalli-organisaation edellyttämänä sopparin pykälänä tuo. Helpottaa markkinointia, kun voi sanoa ettei muita keikkoja ole tulossa. Olen itsekin vaatinut tuota toisinaan ulkomaalaisten yhtyeiden kanssa mukaan, vähintään ettei muita keikkoja Suomessa saa ainkaan julkaista ennen kuin oma tapahtuma ollut ohi.

Toisinaanhan bändit ovat jopa tehneet järjestäjille niin kylmät, että kun keikka on ollut sovittuna (ilman ko. rajoituksia) ovat sopineet itse jopa seuraavaksi päiväksi toisen Suomi-keikan, alkuperäisen järjestäjän kärvistellessä pohjakulujen kanssa ja menettäen yleisöä.

[Risto Malinen]

Tätä ei tarvitse miettiä yhtään. Ouluun mars mars, maksoi mitä maksoi!

[tsorl]

Olipa hyvä etten ehtinyt hankkia risteilylippua, Teatria kelpaa paljon paremmin ja lipunkin kävin jo ostamassa. Huikea buukkaus taas kerran, lauantai-ilta ja Suomen yksinoikeus! Tästä olisin maksanut vaikka 75e!

[Karpaasi]

"Virallisen Queensrÿchen" FB-sivuston viestien perusteella Taten orkesteri on perumassa useampia keikkoja, joista yhdessä keikkapaikassa tilalle otettiin Wiltonin/Jacksonin/Rockenfeldin Queensrÿche. Kaiken kaikkiaan ihan viihdyttävää mouhoamista tuolla Facebook-sivustollakin, jos Blabbermouthin uutisvirta päivittyy vain n. kolme kertaa päivässä Taten omien aivopierujen osalta.

Queensrÿchen hajoamisessa kahteen osaan kaikki voittivat jotain:
1. Hevidiggarit saavat heviä
2. Tate saa juoda viiniä rauhassa lavalla
3. Sosiaalipornon määrä räjähti eksponentiaalisesti!

[scorpions]

^Kuulostaa erittäin hyvältä!

En kyllä keksi mitään miten Tate saisi enää vanhaa arvostustaan takaisin, niin alas pohjamutiin kaveri on vajonnut. Ehkä olisi parempi laittaa pillit pussiin, toisaalta jos Suomeen eksyisi niin ihan mielenkiinnosta ja huumorimielessä voisin mennä katsastamaan Queenswreckin, voisi vaikka kysyä kaverilta pari valittua kysymystä jos kohdalle sattuisi...toisaalta taas ei kyllä viitsisi enää penniäkään tuon miehen lompakkoon saattaa.

[scorpions]

Kyllä tämä Tate on kyllä uskomaton kaveri, iso "mies" puhuu tälläistä kamaa.

Über Röck: And who do you think would throw the first punch?

Tate: Throw the first punch? Well, probably me. Those guys can't fight their way out of a paper bag. I've never seen such a bunch of... How can you be a man and not, like, defend yourself? How can you do that? I don't understand it. I probably shouldn't talk about that… I could get in trouble. [laughs] You know, Americans are really touchy about that stuff. I spit in Scott's [Rockenfield, QUEENSRŸCHE drummer] face and that is an ancient act of defiance and contempt: it's a symbolic gesture. It's ancient, people have been doing that for centuries and Americans can't wrap their head around that. They think it's juvenile, like it's something a kid does. They can't understand guys getting in a punch-up. They fear that, they're appalled by it. In other countries, Ireland for example, the Irish don't see anything wrong with it at all.

+ tuo ylempi pätkä haastiksesta =

Onneksi tuli aamupäivällä luukutettua bändin EP:tä ja sen bonuksena tulevaa keikkaa, muistaa tämän kaiken Tatepelleilynkin aikana, että hyvästä musastahan tämäkin kaikki kuitenkin aikoinaan lähti. Toivotaan että Rÿche jysäyttää kovaa tavaraa tuutista ulos ja että Tatelta loppuisi rahat mahdollisimman nopeasti, että päästään ukosta eroon. Ei tosiaan Queen of the Reichiä kuunnellessa uskoisi että herra tulee joskus kaatumaan mahalleen noin pahasti, eikä mies tunnu tajuavan edes hävetä tuollaista käytöstä. Melkoisen sekaisin vaikuttaa Tate kyllä olevan.

[scorpions]

^Jeps

Tässä myös aika osuva kuva herrasta!

[Iron Constable]

Kappas. Tate kertoo meille, että esim. Irlannissa sylkeminen päin toisen ihmisen kasvoja on aivan jokapäiväistä, eikä siitä kukaan sen kummemmin välitä. Hmmm.

Täytyy kyllä sanoa, että kasvoille sylkeminen on äärimmäisen halveksunnan symboli vähän joka paikassa. Tässä muistelin menneitä vuosiani smurffihaalareissa, niin totean, että pari heppua erehtyi sylkemään päin naamaa. Sen lisäksi, että laitoin ne umpisolmuun, muistelen, että yleinen fiilis teon jälkeen oli jotensakin ikävämpi, kuin vaikkapa jonkun yrittäessä lyödä tai käyttää muuta väkivaltaa.

Pakko se on todeta, että mr. Tate voisi vähitellen pitää naamavärkkinsä kiinni. Eipä hänellä enää paljoa pelastettavaa ole, mutta kaverin koppa on kyllä pahasti hakusessa näitten viimeaikaisten aivopörinöitten valossa. Ei näin.

[Karpaasi]

Pitää täällä ihan kysyä, nyt kun mies on Geoff Taten Queensrÿchessä, että mistä Rudy Sarzon arvostus kumpuaa? Käsittääksenihän mies ei ole ollut soittamassa vakkarina kuin Quiet Riotin parilla levyllä, Slip of the Tonguella ja parilla jämäprojektilla? Onko mies livenä jotenkin sanoinkuvaamattoman paras ja säkenöivin, mm. Ozzyn kanssa, vai kuinka?

[Jussi K]

Hyvä basisti ja all around nice guy, kuten Off The Rails -Ozzyn ajan kiertuehistoriikki kertoo. Kannattaa lukea, vaikkei se nyt mikään Shakespeare kirjoittajana ole. Kuitenkin oli Blizzard Of Ozzin vars. basisti kun Bob Daisley ei levyjen (3 ekaa) äänittämisestä huolimatta pahemmin rundannut. Näin itse:

Rudy Sarzo's credentials as a bass player are quite impressive. He has been a professional recording and performing artist worldwide for over 20 years. As a member of Ozzy Osbourne's band, from March 1981 to September 1982, Rudy toured the world in support of the "Blizzard of Ozz" and "Diary Of a Madman" records. His bass playing can be heard on Ozzy's multimillion selling CD "Tribute" and "Speak of the Devil" CD and DVD.

As a member of Quiet Riot, from September 1982 to January 1985, Rudy recorded the multi-platinum albums "Metal Health", the first Heavy Metal debut to reach #1 on the Billboard charts and "Condition Critical". During this period Rudy headlined worldwide tours, appeared on numerous MTV videos and was voted #1 Bassist in Circus Magazine for 1983.

As a member of Whitesnake, from April 1987 to September 1994, Rudy recorded the multi-platinum album "Slip of the Tongue". During this period Rudy also performed worldwide on headline tours in support of the multiplatinum "1987" and "Slip of the Tongue" albums and appeared on 6 MTV videos.

As a member of the reunited Quiet Riot, from May 1997 to August 2003, Rudy performed worldwide on headlining tours and as special guests in support of the Quiet Riot CDs "Alive and Well" and "Guilty Pleasure. Rudy also appeared on VH1's Quiet Riot, Behind the Music. In November of 2003, "Quiet Riot Live in The 21st Century" DVD was released after the group disbanded.

His recordings with all of these artists combined have sold over 30 million copies.

In February of 2004, Rudy joined Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force for the U.S. 30 city "Attack Tour".

In April of 2004 Rudy became a member of the multi-platinum Heavy Metal group DIO and has been touring worldwide since.

Rudy also plays with Blue Oyster Cult when not touring with DIO.

[IndianaJones]

^ & ^^

+ soittihan Rudy myös Diossa ihan kohtuullisen pitkän pätkän, vaikkei tainnut levylle mitään nauhoittaa. Sieltä parilta keikalta se meikäläisen kunnioitus kumpuaa. Holy Diver Livellä ainakin kulkee soitto hyvin. Ja näyttäähän Sarzo vähän LaTorrelta

[Karpaasi]

Taten Queensrÿche ottaa lisää takkiinsa: Randy Gane saanut pari päivää sitten sydärin. Pikaisia paranemisia miehelle.

[Jyyd]

Queensryche kävi vetämässä kovan keikan 29.12 Tempessa, videoita:

Queen of the Reich
Take Hold of the Flame
Empire
Silent Lucidity

Keikkatallenne pitäisi olla ostettavissa parin päivän sisällä täältä: http://ontourlive.com/artist/Queensryche

Ilmeisesti bändi alkaa myydä noita keikkatallenteitaan samaan tapaan kuten esim. Metallica tekee MetOnTourin kanssa. Tuo on kyllä hyvä juttu jos haluaa ostaa esim. muistoksi suomen keikasta tallenteen itselleen. Samalla on mukava kuulla nyt hyvällä laadulla uuden kokoonpanon livetallenne.

GEOFF TATE: My Former QUEENSRŸCHE Bandmates Are 'Cowards Who Wouldn't Stand Up For Themselves' - Jan. 3, 2013

Todd Newton of BigMusicGeek.com recently conducted an interview with QUEENSRŸCHE singer Geoff Tate. A few excerpts from the chat follow below.

BigMusicGeek.com: At this point, is your goal to reconcile with the other members of [QUEENSRŸCHE]? Is that really even possible?

Geoff: I think the situation has deteriorated quite badly. It would take quite a bit of communication with all of us sitting in the same room having discussions for any type of reconciliation to occur. Honestly, I don't see that happening from their side. I don't think any of them have the balls to sit in a room with me and be honest about how they feel and works towards some sort of understanding. They're way too cowardly to do anything like that. That may come across as cold and brash, and I apologize if that offends anyone, but that's my honest opinion on the matter. They didn't approach me in a friendly, gentlemanly friendship way when they fired me. They did it behind my back through a lawyer, ya know? So I really don't have any high hopes that they'd have the integrity to sit in a room with me now and try to come up with some sort of compromises for our situation.

BigMusicGeek.com: Prior to them dismissing you, were there any obvious indications that everything wasn't going very well? I can remember reading interviews with the group during the '90s where the group seemed like a brotherhood...

Geoff: No. There was nothing like that. A band is a democracy and if it had to come down to a vote, I'm only one guy, ya know? You probably read an interview with either (former QUEENSRŸCHE guitarist) Chris (DeGarmo) or myself. Our main focus was always to create an image that the band was cohesive and a band that was as close as brothers, ya know? In our minds, that was the best way to project our band and our project, ya know? Whatever dirty laundry or disagreements wasn't talked about in public. We were always very, very interested in presenting a positive image, ya know? The image that Chris and created is the image that most people saw and that's how people formed their opinions, ya know? Through the images Chris and I conveyed. We switched gears throughout our entire career. That was the whole goal. The whole motto that Chris and I had when we started writing together was "no limits." Naturally, we weren't interested in being limited by any imaginations except our own, ya know? So we drove that vehicle with that in mind. We were always trying to change things up and bring different things into the compositions, stretch out as much as we could musically and keep pushing, pushing and pushing the envelope on the musical chemistry that we had. After he left, I always held that goal in mind. The problem was that I was the only one who had that idea at that point. [laughs] The other three were very non-committal musically and didn't stand by their belief system when it came to music. They were very influenced by the opinions of others around them and didn't really trust their own musical integrity. I was constantly being limited by their lack of imagination and their unwillingness to stand on their own convictions. They were always very interested in being what other people thought they could be.

BigMusicGeek.com: In regards to all the pending litigation, do you foresee an outcome where you aren't ultimately victorious?

Geoff: I don't look at it as victory or defeat because in reality, it's not really that way. I will win in any situation regarding this because I will either get the name or they'll have to pay me for the name, so I'll be free and clear to do whatever I want. I don't want to work with them and they don't want to work with me. We really haven't worked together in years and years anyway, so what's the purpose, ya know? The only purpose to be together in the first place was the economics of it. It was a very successful brand that was very successful in all parts of the world. It paid everyone's bills and gave everyone a comfortable way of living, ya know? So all the headaches were worth it. What it took to make a record was worth it because we all made a nice living.

BigMusicGeek.com: Was there really a physical confrontation between you and the other members of the group (i.e. the now-infamous Brazil Incident)? At first, it seemed insane that everyone would actually "come to blows" over it all...

Geoff: Yes. It happens in bands all the time. It's weird because in other places in the world, they look at the whole physical altercation thing as a fist fight and call it what it is[laughs] It's a bunch of guys and you come to blows sometimes, ya know? It's no big deal. The Europeans and South Americans say the same thing: "What's the big deal? Why are the Americans making such a big deal out of this?" Look at THE [ROLLING] STONES, THE WHO or even THE BEATLES. It's a bunch of guys and guys are physical. The thing about the whole "Brazil incident" is that we're talking about three cowards who wouldn't stand up for themselves. Three cowards who made a decision behind my back, implemented a plan to fire me and my family and then, when I challenged them on it, ran away like little pussies who wouldn't stand up for their beliefs. What kind of men are those? The only thing you have in life are your convictions. It's what you believe. If you make a statement and then back down, what kind of man are you? You are nothing. You have no significance if you don't stand up for what you believe in.

Read the entire interview from BigMusicGeek.com.

[Bahamut]

Voihan Köffi. Ihan normaaliahan se on että bändissä vedellään toisia turpaan, uskon kyllä. Välillä varmasti suivaantuvat toisiinsa, mutta harva bändi on Motörhead.

[Karpaasi]

Geoffin lakimiehenä oleminen on varmaan maailman paskin ammatti.

Osuva kuva !

Haluaako joku nähdä Geoff Taten vetämässä Eyes of a Strangeria tonttupipo päässä ja ilman paitaa? No täältä pesee joulukuun alulta olevalla videolla: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NCQjFskLzo

En tiedä voiko Tate mennä enää tämän alemmaksi, kaipa sekin on mahdollista. Tätä katsoessa piti revetä jo ääneen


Sen sijaan se oikea Queensrÿche jatkoi pari päivää sitten hyvää tykitystään:
Queen of the Reich
The Needle Lies

[Jyyd]

Taten Ryche pääsi uuden levy-yhtiön alaisuuteen, Bobby Blotzer älysi lähteä bändistä joten nyt rummuissa on Simon Wright. Toiseksi kitaristiksi bändiin on nyt liitetty Rudy Sarzon veli Robert Sarzo

The Geoff Tate-fronted version of QUEENSRŸCHE has signed a worldwide record deal with the Los Angeles-based independent label Cleopatra Records.

Although a lineup for Tate's QUEENSRŸCHE was originally announced in the fall of 2012, things have changed. The band will now feature Tate along with bassist Rudy Sarzo (OZZY OSBOURNE, DIO, WHITESNAKE, QUIET RIOT), guitarist Kelly Gray (QUEENSRŸCHE 1998-2001), keyboardist Randy Gane and new additions, guitarist Robert Sarzo (QUIET RIOT, HURRICANE) and drummer Simon Wright (AC/DC, DIO, RHINO BUCKET).

Wright takes over for previously announced drummer Bobby Blotzer, who will be returning to RATT as an integral part of the band that made him famous.

"I'm very much looking forward to being involved in the QUEENSRŸCHE project with Geoff," states Wright. "I've always admired his singing and songwriting and working with Rudy Sarzo again is going to be cool! Between this and my other project, DIO DISCIPLES, I look forward to a very busy year!"

QUEENSRŸCHE, with all members cited above, will soon be entering the studio for the first Cleopatra effort due out later this year. Legendary guitar slinger K.K. Downing of JUDAS PRIEST fame will be making a special guest appearance on the forthcoming CD, as will KING'S X guitarist Ty Tabor and Blotzer.

Tabor comments, "I'm very happy that Geoff considered me for this record. It will be great to play with all of these great musicians."

Beginning in early April, Tate's QUEENSRŸCHE will be hitting the road to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the band's epic 1988 release, "Operation: Mindcrime", performing all fifteen songs from the album along with other well-known hits and rarities from the catalog they've compiled over the past 30 years.

"I try to surround myself with the best players available and feel our longtime fans deserve nothing less," says Tate. "I expect the forthcoming effort to be one of our best yet."

Tate, who was fired from QUEENSRŸCHE in June 2012 after fronting the group for three decades, last year sought to prevent his former bandmates from touring and operating under the QUEENSRŸCHE name without him. While ruling against Tate, the presiding judge determined that there was no legal hurdle in Tate also using the name with an all-new lineup of musicians. "I don't see any reason that Mr. Tate can't have the benefit, if he gets other members, of whatever name he uses of using the brand," Superior Court Judge Carol A. Schapira said during the July 13, 2012 court hearing. "I think [doing that would be] inherently confusing, although I'm sure the market can get these things sorted out," she added.

Last November, Tate released his first solo CD in over a decade titled "Kings & Thieves" (InsideOut Music) and toured with his solo band in support of the CD, which included dates with the legendary ALICE COOPER.

[scorpions]

Voi voi, miten se Siimonikin on suostunut tuohon ryhmään

Ja vielä K.K. DOWNING ja TY TABOR...miten ihmeessä nämäkin kaverit suostuvat vierailemaan levyllä. Mahtaakohan niillä olla mitään tietoa Geoffin viieaikaisista toilailuista poilailuista... Olisi kyllä mielenkiintoista tietää mitä aidon Rychen jäsenistö miettii tästä.

[Jyyd]

Uunituoretta Queensrÿchea soitettiin juuri klipin verran Eddie Trunkin radio-ohjelmassa missä kuultiin myös Scott Rockenfieldin haastattelu, tässä siis 90 sekuntia uutta 'Rÿchea:

REDEMPTION

Hyvältä kuulostaa (vaikka ei olekaan vielä lopullinen miksaus), tällaista kamaa on todellakin odotettu

[Wasted]

Taten Queensrychekin aikoo ilmeisesti siirtyä raskaampaan tyyliin.

GEOFF TATE Working On 'Stupidly Heavy' QUEENSRŸCHE Album - Feb. 23, 2013

Guitarist Craig Locicero (FORBIDDEN, SPIRALARMS) and drummer Paul Bostaph (SLAYER, TESTAMENT, EXODUS, FORBIDDEN) are among the featured musicians on the forthcoming album from the new lineup of the Geoff Tate-fronted version of QUEENSRŸCHE. The CD, which is currently being mixed by Jason Slater, is due later in the year via the Los Angeles-based independent label Cleopatra Records.

Says Craig: "Whelp, I guess the cat is out of the proverbial bag. Nikki Blakk [of the San Francisco, California radio station 107.7 The Bone] has announced that Paul Bostaph and I have played most of the music on Geoff Tate's QUEENSRŸCHE record. It is being mixed by Jason Slater as I type this and it is WAY HEAVIER then most anyone is expecting!

"Geoff and Jason have been nothing but awesome to us and it gave Paul and I a chance to contribute together on a metal record once again. I was working on it for a few weeks and play on every song. There are kick-ass solo contributions from Dave Meniketti [Y&T], Ty Tabor [KING'S X], Brad Gillis [NIGHT RANGER], K.K. Downing [JUDAS PRIEST] and Chris Cannella. As well as bass played by Rudy Sarzo and more drums from Simon Wright. It's some great company to be around and it was an honor to be a part of it.

"I know what the perception of the QUEENSRŸCHE camp is and I really don't give a f*ck. QUEENSRŸCHE was one of my favorite bands from the EP through 'Operation: Mindcrime'.

"When I was approached about doing the record, I did contemplate all of the turmoil, but I love a challenge. I accepted the challenge and think Geoff has a kick-ass record to deliver the fans...in spite of what some may expect. The songs are cool, classy and in some cases stupidly heavy!

"So there you have it. I am not in QUEENSRŸCHE, SPIRALARMS is still my baby with a killer record to be released very soon. So Geoff has a touring lineup ready to go this summer. I'm simply stoked to have put some my riffage in the mix with once of heavy metal's most recognizable and classic voices."

Although a lineup for Tate's QUEENSRŸCHE was originally announced in the fall of 2012, things have changed. The band will now feature Tate along with bassist Rudy Sarzo (OZZY OSBOURNE, DIO, WHITESNAKE, QUIET RIOT), guitarist Kelly Gray (QUEENSRŸCHE 1998-2001), keyboardist Randy Gane and new additions, guitarist Robert Sarzo (QUIET RIOT, HURRICANE) and drummer Simon Wright (AC/DC, DIO, RHINO BUCKET).

Queensrÿchen tulevan levyn julkaisupäivämääräksi on nyt varmistunut 11.6.2013. Bändi on siis signannut diilin Century Media Recordsin kanssa, kyseisen levy-yhtiön alaisuudessa ovat myös mm. Iced Earth, Dream Evil, Firewind ja vaikkapa Nevermore. Kyllä tää hyvältä valinnalta vaikuttaa siis.

TODD LA TORRE-Fronted Version Of QUEENSRŸCHE Signs With CENTURY MEDIA - Mar. 4, 2013
The Todd La Torre-fronted version of QUEENSRŸCHE has inked a deal with Century Media Records for the release of the band's new studio album. Due on June 11, the CD marks the debut release from the lineup comprised of La Torre (vocals; ex-CRIMSON GLORY), Michael Wilton (guitar), Parker Lundgren (guitar), Eddie Jackson (bass) and Scott Rockenfield (drums). The drums for the album were recorded at London Bridge Studios in Seattle, Washington with producer James "Jimbo" Barton — the man who engineered and mixed the band's classic 1988 LP, "Operation: Mindcrime", and its 1990 follow-up, "Empire", and co-produced 1994's "Promised Land". The rest of the music and vocals were laid down at several different facilities on the West Coast.

"QUEENSRŸCHE is excited to begin writing this next chapter of our career with Century Media. Their passion and love for music has been apparent since early discussions and we are pleased to call them partners on this journey," states Jackson. "We are also thankful for all of the fans who have supported us from day one and helped us get to where we are today. Todd, Scott, Parker, Michael and I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for each and every one of you."

QUEENSRŸCHE frummer Scott Rockenfield tells Billboard.com: "Century Media has been extremely enthusiastic ever since they came into the equation with us, and for what it's worth it's hard to find enthusiasm like that. After 35 years I guess I'm gracious and honored that we have people that are that enthusiastic about the band, so we're really happy about moving forward with them."

Century Media president of North America Don Robertson wrote in an email to Billboard.com about the label's interest in the band: "Many of us at the label have been longtime fans of QUEENSRŸCHE as a band. When we heard they were recording a new record, we were all definitely interested."

"Recording is finished. It's that final stage where we mix and we master . . . It's been quite crazy so we're winding down so we can focus on the final section of the record, which is the artwork and the name and everything else," Rockenfield says.

QUEENSRŸCHE will head out on the "Return To History" world tour this March and April. The trek kicks off on March 5 in Dubuque, Iowa and makes stops in nine different countries, wrapping up on April 26 in the Netherlands. The band will also take to the high seas on this year's Monsters Of Rock cruise and Sweden Rock Cruise. The 23-date tour will make stops in New York, Tennessee and Florida as well as in Canada, United Kingdom and Germany, among others.

Mielenkiintoista seurata että milloin Taterychen tulevan levyn julkaisupäivämäärä pierastaan ulos, totta kai he haluavat pysyä epätoivoisesti kilvassa mukana
