MARTY FRIEDMAN Crushes News Of Participation In Metal Allstars European Tour; New Solo Album Nearing Completion
October 23, 2013, 10 years ago
Guitarist MARTY FRIEDMAN (ex-MEGADETH) has posted the following update:
"My mailbox blew up this morning with people asking about a European tour called Metal Allstars, in which my name was listed. Although this looks like a fantastic tour, I know nothing about this tour at all. I do not know who the promoter is, or why he is using my name. I am not involved in this tour whatsoever.
The good news is I will definitely be doing a proper tour of Europe and the US in early-mid 2014, and all official info about that will be here when it is announced - and that will be very soon. I cannot wait to play for you all.
Even better news is my new solo album is nearing completion (I`m actually in the studio today working on it), and it is to be the absolute mother of all my solo albums. So if you dig my solo stuff at all, I`m sure you will love it. If you don`t like my solo stuff, well…you will probably hate it pretty bad. Guitar World in the US will run a story about it in next month`s issue.
Ok then, back to work!"
