September 25, 2011, 12 years ago
STONE SOUR performed at the Rock In Rio festival in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil on September 24th, and pro shot footage of their entire set is now online. Check it out below:
As previously reported, ex-DREAM THEATER drummer Mike Portnoy was tapped to fill in for Roy Mayorga for the gig, as Mayorga opted to stay home for the birth of his first daughter.
Portnoy issued the following statement: "It's my honor and pleasure to be able to help out my good friends in Stone Sour and my brother Roy in their time of need. It's also an unexpected treat for me to get another visit with some of the greatest fans in the world down in Brazil."
Frontman Corey Taylor added: "We've been waiting a long time for the opportunity to come to South America. This year's Rock In Rio should be fantastic. With Roy expecting his first child, we'll charge on without him, but having Mike fill in for this one show will be great. We can't wait to take the stage and lay it down the only way Stone Sour knows how - full on and in your face!"
Plans are afoot for a special EP/DVD release from Stone Sour this Winter, along with a special MP3 giveaway via Stone Sour's Facebook page. Stay tuned for full details soon.
