DOKKEN bassist Barry Sparks has checked in with the following update:
"Well, its been a very busy year for me, nine months in Japan with the band B'Z! We played something like 60 shows all over Japan. The tour started with playing in theatres, then we hit all the arenas to support the album Action and then onto Glory Days stadium tour, their 20th anniversary tour! It was an awesome experience. B'Z are such great musicians and a blast to play with and their music is very challenging so my bass chops were put to the test! I am happy to say they whipped me into shape! The shows were all amazing but I must say to end the tour with two shows at Yokohama stadium playing for 75,000 people (74,999 plus my wife) was a highlight for me. I also want to thank these fine companies - Sparks guitars ( built by my brother Kevin), Yamaha guitars, S.I.T strings, Dean Markley, Seymour Duncan, Spectraflex cables and a really cool new practice guitar neck called Shred Neck, go to Shredneck.com and check them out."
