Shared the stage with Cage the Elephant (great energy) our friends The Bravery (nicest guys) and AFI (legends) last night for a radio show in Dallas. Big show, rowdy as holy hell and great to see Vince, Jessie and family.

Starting in Houston we have been selling and signing actual cds after the show with FACES OF MARS covers. They look incredible. Seeing all of the different faces is a blast. So far I've collected a Terry Richardson, a Bam Margera, a few friends and even our manager Irving Azoff!

Here's a pic...

And another pic from a store in Europe...

If you're coming to the shows and want to get a cd signed, get them quick as they have sold out every single night... and thanks to all for that.

Hope you guys enjoy it and thanks again to everyone who sent in a photo.  You made this what it is.

Off to play West Palm!

PS. This is War comes out in THREE DAYS!!!!!

Snow was falling as we said goodbye to Denver and started the push toward Texas. The huck across and down is long but really great to get back into the heartland.

3 shows into our return to touring in the usa and it couldn't be better. So thankful people. are coming out and celebrating it with us.

Thank the gods for Whole Foods, an oasis out here on the road. Houston is a massive network of highways, biways, and buildings. I still haven't cracked it yet but will soon.

Five days until WAR and we can't wait. By the way the FACES OF MARS covers look insane and beautiful!

It's almost xmass....crazy!

Denver: Mile-high madness. Escaped for a couple hours and wandered into the mountains.  Shan and co went to the hot springs. Good to find some time to do things like that. Keeps you at least half sane. Being back in America is incredible. I think because we have been gone for so long it's like seeing the oldest of friends.

The show was great and the crowd had so much energy. Because of the altitude between songs my brother and I were sharing an oxygen tank at this show ...funny...maybe a walker next. ;)

Off to Texas.  Was the home of sweet Grama Ruby...

PS. It's 6 days until THIS IS WAR is unleashed....can't wait! :)
