Guitarist "Metal" Mike Chlasciak (HALFORD, PAINMUSEUM, SEBASTIAN BACH) has checked in with the following update:
"Hey Metal Legions.Well just crashed through the door, my Jackson flying V's on my garage floor, I headed for a beer. Where am I - home? And, where the hell have we been in the last 3 or so weeks. Seems like everywhere.
As I wrote before, Australia was great, once again. I tell you these bastards know how to party and what die hard fans they are. We had one hell of a time following Australia on our treck across Finland, Norway, Estonia and well what should have been Sweden's Sweden Rock. We hated to miss the Sweden Rock festival. Schedule, routing, delayed flights, who knows. I have played Sweden Rock festival 3 times, each time with a different band, it being Halford, Testament and Sebastian Bach. Each time it was awesome and wished I had number four behind me, but best I can hope for is to see you Swedish metalheads soon.
One of the most amazing shows on this tour and ones I have ever done took place in Estonia. Yeah, that country somehwere by Russia and Finland. We played inside the ruins of a thousand years old Monastary. Rock show inside ruins... I think we have a winner! Georgeous country and great people, good beer and a whole unique vibe I have never experienced before. It took my breath. Partying until 5 AM next morning also took my breath, but that's a whole other story. Thank you.
It was pleasure playing the tour with such talented musicians. Bobby, Rob, Johnny all took care of business and Sebastian is singing his nuts off. I think fans have some good ass kicking in store for the up-coming US tour we are doing with Poison and Dokken.
Till then - Balls To The Wall,
Metal Mike."
