Metal-Rules.com has issued an interview with drummer VINNY APPICE (DERRINGER, AXIS, BLACK SABBATH, DIO, HEAVEN AND HELL, etc.). The following is an excerpt from the interview, conducted by by Marko Syrjälä:

Q: In August you'll be once more hitting the road with Heaven And Hell, alongside JUDAS PRIEST, MOTÖRHEAD and TESTAMENT?

A: "Right, that's going to be awesome."

Q: That being the case, has the band given any thought to the set list for this tour, like are you going to be playing stuff that you didn't on the previous tour?

A: "Oh yeah, we're playing different songs, but we're not playing Sabbath songs. We're going to play some different songs from Heaven And Hell."

Q: Really, you're going to shuffle around the set list for this upcoming tour?

A: "Oh yeah, we've got to. We played a whole year of those songs; we can't go out and play the same set."

Q: That's certainly good to hear, there's so much good stuff to choose from. Can you give any clues as to what songs might get played?

A: "Maybe we'll play 'Turn Up The Night', 'TV Crimes', 'Time Machine'... we've got a lot of songs we haven't played, so we'll be probably switching them that way, but we're not going to play 'Paranoid' and all that stuff."

Q: Thank goodness for that! At the beginning of the last tour you were playing for about two hours, but as the tour progressed you dropped a couple of songs cutting the set down somewhat. What was the reason for that?

A: "Yeah, we started with a long set and then we just cut it because at a couple of shows we had to play less time and then we pulled the songs out and everybody went 'Let's just play that.' But then that got longer because we started jamming, so what went from... we played for two hours, down to an hour and forty-five minutes, then it went back up to almost two hours, because on 'Heaven And Hell' we started jamming shit, which was good because we were enjoying it so much. We just started jamming and improvising, so that's a good thing."
