MR. BIG Frontman Eric Martin Posts Video Message To The Fans, Performs "Gotta Love The Ride" Acoustic


Gearing up for the release if their new album ...The Stories We Could Tell, Mr. Big have posted the following clip on Facebook:

 

...The Stories We Could Tell, will be released on September 29th in the UK, and September 30th in North America via Frontiers Music. Listen to the album track, "I Forget To Breathe", below:

"The new album rocks,” says Paul Gilbert. “I love playing guitar, singing, and writing with Eric, Billy, and Pat. And after 25 years, I'm proud that we can make an album that is melodic, powerful, interesting, groovy, and emotional."

The original lineup comprised of Eric Martin (vocals), Paul Gilbert (guitar), Billy Sheehan (bass) and Pat Torpey (drums), are back with some of their most powerful material to date. The new album is the follow-up to the 2011 release, What If, that marked the band’s return to their signature hard rock sound.

Mr. Big got together this past June to begin recording and laid down the 13 new tracks in just a month. …Stories We Could Tell was produced by Pat Regan, known for his work with the likes of Deep Purple, Warrant and Keel.

The tracklisting for ...The Stories We Could Tell is:

"Gotta Love The Ride"
"I Forget To Breathe"
"Fragile"
"Satisfied"
"The Man Who Has Everything"
"The Monster In Me"
"What If We Were New?"
"East/West"
"The Light Of Day"
"Just Let Your Heart Decide"
"It’s Always About That Girl'

"Cinderella Smile"
"The Stories We Could Tell"

"Addicted To That Rush" (live – exclusive bonus track)

"Gotta Love The Ride":

Mr. Big recently announced that drummer Pat Torpey has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. The diagnosis has left him unable to perform his normal drumming duties on the band’s upcoming World Tour. He did complete all of the drumming on the upcoming album, but unfortunately touring will be too difficult for him at the present time.

The band have now confirmed that Pat Torpey's fill-in for the band's upcoming World Tour will be Matt Starr. Matt is currently Ace Frehley's drummer and will sit in for Torpey throughout the trek.

Mr. Big have announced tour dates in Europe in support of the new album. For more details on Mr. Big and their live schedule visit Mrbigsite.com.
