As you all know, we are in the middle of a two week break that ends Monday, Dec. 2nd. The guys are split up around the country with their respective families for the holiday. One thing is for sure, they will all be back together on stage at the Memorial Coliseum in Fort Wayne Indiana, "If the sea don't rise and the good lord's willin.'"
The December shows will be the last live shows for a while. The guys are in the planning stages for what is going on next year. They plan on going in the studio at the beginning of March if all goes well. No date yet on when the "new" album will come out but you can bet your bottom dollar a tour will start almost immediately thereafter.
Speaking of the December shows, the guys are going to some places that they haven't been to yet this tour. Fort Wayne, Wichita and Grand Rapids. Grand Rapids is cool. It's kinda like Detroit-lite. The building is really cool and the fans go nuts. Maybe it's something in the Michigan water.
Memphis is always a great stop. Home to the international rock stars, "The Porch Ghouls." Check them out if you live in the Memphis area. Corky's ribs are the best in the state.
Don't miss Steven Tyler and family on the Disney show, "Lizzy McGuire," that will be shown Friday, December 6th. Steven will also be featured on the show "Elvis Lives" that will be on NBC Thanksgiving night at 10:00 PM. Pick up this month's "Metal Edge" magazine with the bad boys from Boston on the cover and a cool interview with Joe Perry. Looks like both Steven and Joe will be attending the Billboard awards in Vegas on Monday, Dec. 9th. Yes, folks, it's in between Denver and Minneapolis so there will be no rest for the wicked that week.
See you on the road!
