Yes its off!!!!


We did everything we could to get to you guys, and right up to the last minute we were negotiating it. We couldnt get contracts agreed, or financial arrangements agreed, and even the artwork and advertisements caused problems.

The word being put out is "personal and creative differences"  Well it CERTAINLY  wasnt creative!!!!! The band are absolutely FLYING!!!!! The last few days spent in rehearsals was awesome!!!! Nothing wrong with our creativity i can promise!!!

And personal?!!! What the heck is that!!! The band is closer than ever!!

Nah... I'm afraid its business shit that is the problem this time. Just pure business shit!!!

We are sickened to the core that we werent able to get over there, and there are some that will be celebrating that. Well HA!! He who laughs last....

Now we travel to Brazil where we will unveil the new set.

Its an exciting but frustrating time and we offer our deepest and most sincere appologies to you that intended to support us.  We wont forget that.

Best Wishes

Yeah that sucks. These days there is too many moneymakers who wants a piece of simple rock'n'roll gigs. And nobody cares a shit bout artist or fans. But good luck to next tour...

Would loved to have seen these overlooked classics live on stage here in the US, but shit does indeed happen. Let us know when you are coming back, or even just a holiday to New York and lets get you guys on a stage!

Best wishes,

Ricky

Yes Karl,

Share your ideas with Tony.    I'm thinking a "grassroots" movement might lead to the most rewarding results.  I'm in a city of 1 million people, and I'm passionate about this music.  If others hear it (which isn't easy when it's off the shelves) they too will love it no doubt (screw the haters).  These days, a network of smart people with good ideas and a few connections could probably coordinate a viable tour better than certain management companies.  We know what makes sense in our own towns, just have to be objective.  

Personally,  I recommend a model that has been used quite successfully with death metal in this town.  You get a half dozen of the best local bands of the same genre (roughly) who simply want to play in front of the biggest crowd they can... the money goes to pay the big ticket act.    Everyone wins, and a lot of people become personally invested in making it work... you end up with better promotion than you could dream of...

Like I said, death metal bands are routinely flown here from Finland to do this...

From a cost perspective, I think this beats the festival approach and really personalizes the events to the towns in question.

If it cannot be organized in a given city, it's the wrong city!!!   Tour nightmares averted....

O.K.... gotta go pat myself on the back...

Ya this really sucks. We quit our jobs the week before to start this tour. Now all we have a open calendar and a tour bus. If you come back to the US we'd love to be on the Bill again. Best of luck guys!  Hope to see you soon!

We were very excited at GlamMetal.com that Tony was going to tour the USA, especially right in our own backyard- Buffalo NY. I was so looking forward to reviewing the show and doing interviews with Tony and his amazing band members.

Well, since the tour isn't going to happen, I posted an interview that I did with Tony back in 1994. It's on www.glammetal.com so check it out.

And Tony don't give up on playing the USA. the "Headless Cross" tour was a great idea. I would love to hear that entire release played live.

Best of luck,
