Salzburg, Austria Crowd shot:

I don't remember much about Salzburg, but I'm sure it was great.

I TOTALLY remember the next night in Winterthur, Switzerland at Gaswerk! It was AWESOME!!! The Ocean was booked a t a festival, so the rest of us played this club, Gaswerk. Super cool club - friendly folks, great food, showers, LAUNDRY! We felt welcome and relaxed as soon as we got there. We were a bit nervous what the crowd would be like since none of us had played there...
And we were TOTALLY STOKED!! The crowd was one of the best, most energetic of the tour.

The great thing about sleeping at the venue is not loading out - just finish your set and start partying. Sometimes things get weird.

And when things get weird, the next day you just gotta sit on the dock, stare at the clouds and take deep breaths. It was a good night.

Munich crowd. Don't remember much about this night either. I heard tale of a food fight which was evidenced by sticky floors in the morning, but I missed it. Kids these days.

Milano, Italy. Finally some good pizza!!!

That's the kinda pizza oven I like to see.

Another super energetic crowd, and one of my favorites on the tour. Can't wait to get back there!
More to come.. trying to get caught up quick.

What We Did For Our Summer 2013 Summer Vacation: Part Duex.

Okay, where were we? Slayer. That’s right. So, after all the craziness that was the first couple weeks of the tour we finally settled into our digs for the rest of the tour and met our driver Jens: Things you should know about Jens: The man can drive his ass off. You don’t want to eat his hummus, or he will kill you. If you’re a promoter that ripped off another band he was working for who happens to be at the show he is at, you best find a ATM because he will shake your ass down for all that loot. (Did that make any sense? I don't care.) After a quick bro down with him, we made our way to Interlaken where following a night of hanging with some road homies and watching some Rammstein… Wait, I have to say something right now. I, like a lot of people out there, have never given a good goddamn about Rammstein. Never got the allure. But after watching them live—HOLY FUCKING SHIT! I couldn’t tell you what one of their songs sounds like but their stage show

It was brought to my attention here (scroll to comments) that last time we were in town I didn’t do enough blogging about Aaron’s long-time friend Chad Belfor. Actually I’m surprised there wasn’t more comments on this subject. The people need to know what is going on with Chad at all times. The man is the heartbeat of the city, if Chicago is a heart, he is the Aorta. You put your finger on him to see if the city is still alive. For those of you who don’t know him let me fill you in on the enigma, wrapped in a puzzle, that is Chad Belfor: The first thing you might notice is that Chad is a deep well of emotion, look at him: But Chad is much more complex than that. Chad is a man who wears many hats. Husband, PGA card holder, father, former NASCAR driver, musician, gold medal Olympic athlete… Some of these things could be used to describe him. It’s no wonder that confidence just oozes from his pores: You got to be careful though because after he knocks back a couple tall cold ones the wil

European Headliner Part Three

You know the saying better late than never? This post very well might be an exception to that rule for the following reasons: 1)    I lost my camera and all the photos on it. So I have to use whatever is on my phone and John and David’s photos. 2)    Since being home I have had more beer poured on my face than a corpse at an Irish wake and remember little to nothing about the last couple weeks in Europe. 3)    Compared to the road where all there is a van full of dudes that I don’t really want to talk to after a couple weeks, at home there is a couch and cable to distract me. 4)    I took no notes about said last couple weeks because: 5)    I am really lazy Wiesbaden, Germany 4/27/12 I remember this place! It was an old slaughterhouse turned venue. Those rods on the ceiling are where they would hang the carcasses.  This is going to be easy. Winterhur, Switzerland 4/28/12 I got nothing. No! Wait! This was one of the most scenic drives of the tour as you can t
