inb4 everyone requests the entire The Astonishing
That would be hilarious. Well, given that it is going to be a demand sort of thing, I think it is safe to say there will be some high fan demand for GnR and Journey. I'm interested to see what they play.
Yeah, seriously speaking I think they'll put up a selection of songs to choose from, which probably will include something from their past bands.
Btw I found a news story from another source, which claims the orchestra will only join them for the cover set: https://www.radiotangra.com/en/news/read/30754.html
The new American supergroup featuring members of DREAM THEATER, MR. BIG, GUNS ‘N ROSES, and JOURNEY will present live the songs from its sensational debut album 'Psychotic Symphony' followed by a 'By Request Covers Set' where the band will be joined by the renowned Plovdiv Philharmonic Orchestra founded nearly 70 years ago and made up of over 100 highly qualified musicians.
I'm glad they told me the album was "sensational". I haven't gotten many "sensations" from the album itself since I listened to it the second, and last, time.
Look, I'm all for the epic over the topness of an orchestra; but for only the covers? Sounds like a lot of hype that has nothing to do with the band itself, or it's original music.
I have to say, I'm no marketing wizard*, but this is confusing.
*I say humbly, since I have an MBA from a top ten school and know enough about marketing to know you don't confuse your audience.
