ANOTHER TOOL NORTH AMERICA TOUR FOR FANS WHO MISSED LAST YEAR
Launch Radio Networks reports: TOOL's next North American tour begins on March 15 in Las Vegas, with the band playing different cities than it did on its jaunts last year. But bassist Justin Chancellor told Launch that fans who missed the 2006 dates will get a second chance to see a similar show on this trip. "Actually, we're kind of playing places that we didn't play last year, so I don't think, it won't be, like, completely different songs, you know," he said. "It won't be a completely different thing, but it will be slightly more evolved. I mean, it naturally evolves as we go through time, you know."
Launch Radio Networks reports that Canadian classic rock didn't go unnoticed this week when the Juno Award nominations were announced, as RUSH was listed. RUSH was nominated in the "Music DVD Of The Year" category for "R30", the two-disc package they shot in Frankfurt, Germany, on September 24, 2004 during their 30th anniversary world tour.
Former RATT vocalist Stephen Pearcy has lined up the following dates:
Mar. 16 - Sauk Centre, MN - Gerards (w/ FIREHOUSE)
Mar. 17 - Burnsville, MN - Renegades
Pearcy's upcoming plans include the release of a his historical box set, which will contain many previously unreleased rarities from the singer's history, including MICKEY RATT, RATT, ARCADE, VICIOUS DELITE, VERTEX, and solo material. A DVD will also be included. An early summer release is expected.
