Current mood:  disappointed
From Alex, Nate and Matt:
Just a quick note to say that we’ll be postponing our UK and Europe gigs to early next year. We are in a scheduling jam and are stuck in the middle of overdubs and mixing the brand new record, plus we want to come back and cover a lot more ground and really do a full european/uk/ire run. Our original thought (some eight months ago) was to play the dates and then record at the end of the run. Unfortunately, our schedules got so ultra conflicted that this window in mid-October evaporated and it had to be finished immediately or there would be no chance to record the new material until later next year – so this is a matter of everything getting pushed back now. We sincerely apologize if you have tickets and/or plans to come hang with us but we plan to see you next year with our new record that we are super excited about (we feel this is the best stuff we've ever done) in hand and ready to share with you. Thanks again for the great support. Your friends, AST

Kirk Hammett on AST: Guitar World 12/2008

In the December 2008 issue of Guitar World, Kirk Hammet is asked a question about the Alex Skolnick Trio

GW: One of your thrash metal contemporaries, Alex Skolnick of Testament, has recorded a couple of straight-up jazz albums as the Alex Skolnick Trio. Have you heard them?

Hammett: Love them. I love his work. What Alex is doing by putting heavy metal songs in a jazz context is completely refreshing. His take on "Detroit Rock City" blew me away; that song has never sounded better to me. And when you think about, the old jazz standards were the pop music of their time. so alex has updated the notion of what a standard is, and it's opened up all the current music to interpretation. The idea of playing Kiss or the Scorpions in the style of Dave Brubeck is great and quite radical. There are tons of people at Julliard who are playing "Straight No Chaser" for probably the 50 millionth time, so it's about time somebody tried something new.
