I guess I got "heavy" about it because there are so many other deserving people/projects he could invest his time in. Like...his kids.

A thrash metal cover band with a couple of B-Listers?.....

whatever...

Well, I'll get to get shit signed and talk to the guy without having to spend a ridiculous amount on a tour fan-pack.

:angry:

I personally am quite pumped. No reason to shit on the musicians. Tim Owens has been in Judas Priest, Iced Earth and Malmsteen's band (among a dozen other projects). He has earned his stripes and come a long way from being in tribute bands. I mean, I'd say that's a more impressive resume then any of the folks here can cop to, aye?
Dave and Andreas are also great players and represent two of the best thrash bands.

I highly doubt Mike has an "angle". We know he's friends with Dave and this is probably just a chance for him to do something fun.
It's clear there's no money in this. This is something fun to do. Why does everyone have to get all heavy about it?
Don't worry about Nick. He hates everything that is good.

Seems like a fun thing to do for MP. Bummer I essentially don't enjoy any of the tunes they're playing there. Very straight metal fare.

The NY show is two days away and it looks like I won't be able to go. Between midterm week (this coming week), my lack of a ride, and lack of money, I will be missing it  :'(

Foxboro show was great!



Spent most of the after-show time chatting with Dave and Tim. Mike came out for a minute on the way to the van.
Didn't manage to grab a pic but asked him about the evening with format for the next tour and playing 12 steps in its entirety,
both of which he confirmed for after the next album. Looking forward to that.
When Hail sets more dates, I recommend any metal fan check it out as its a real fun show. Just good tunes with
great musicianship. A nice alternative to the larger, less intimate and weighty gigs.

Ah, so a new album will come prior to the next tour, cool to know, and thanks for confirming the 12 step suite. :tup

Um...He's not much heavier then I am. I'm 5'10" and 180 lbs. He's about the same height and maybe ten pounds heavier. For being in his 40's, he's in fine shape.

I'm unstickying this, unless there is some big reason for it to remain stickied.

If there is, someone re-sticky it.

Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Dave?

As far as I know, James is still touring with them. I do know Portnoy is doing a few more shows coming up.
