Oh I didn't realise that Guido. I knew that he had died, but didn't know he was in Hail!. Very sad
Here's what the G-Taranaki website says about the Hail! lineup: "Joining Owens onstage will be guitar virtuoso Tony MacAlpine, legendary bassist Tony Franklin (The Firm/Blue Murder/Whitesnake) and Judas Priest drummer Scott Travis."

Good for you, Becks. Too bad the passing of Slipknot bassist, Paul Gray will mark some sadness on this tour. He was to take the place of Dave Ellefson who was slated to return to Megadeth.
Thought the Slipknot drummer, Paul Bostaph, was to tour with them, though. Read all about it when I read of Gray's death. Perhaps Gray's death shook up the drummer as well leaving the position to Travis?

Ok I am VERY excited about this! In August there is something in my home province (Taranaki) called G-Taranaki, an international guitar fesitval which started last year. This years headliner was announced a couple of weeks ago - Slash. I thought yep I'd pay to see him. But today it got a thousand times better! A band called Hail! are playing - formed by Ripper Owens, and guess who's on drums??????
SCOTT TRAVIS!!!!
I can't fuckin wait!!!!!! I'm actually going to see a member of Judas Priest live!!!!!! May seem small to some people, but I am so so excited to see a member of my favourite band live! I wonder if I'll be able to track him down and get him to sign something and get a pic with him, lol.
