SAVATAGE / DOCTOR BUTCHER / TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA guitarist Chris Caffery has issued the following update:

"All is well, just too frickin' busy!

I would like to know if anyone in NY/NJ is available next week to assist in some street team stuff. Muchly appreciated!

All moved out of the city...just in time for me to leave again soon! Tour is approaching rapidly! YIKES!

I still have way too much to do! Not sure what guitars I am using...not sure what effects I am bringing, just running out of time! As usual I will get it together the last 2 days!

Looking forward to the tour, not much time to rest there cuz I still have to finish learning like 28 Doro songs. I have 16 of them down mentally if that helps. I ask for this I suppose. I will work on her stuff Thursday. If I can play thru 20 songs then I will be OK. Then I just have a couple more to get together in the weeks to come.

Still no official green light for me to unconfuse you all about June...sorry...

Masters with the U bonus tracks are off to my new label for the US release...still waiting for their press release to say anything here 'cuz the second I say anything here it is all over every news site on the planet...so...I signed with .....fill in the blank...records for North America!

Back to work!
