EUROPE!!!! 6/17-6/20

Kassel, Germany.

After the show, we were taken to a hostel kinda spot to crash. To get to it, we had to walk through a crazy multi-level party spot with several bars, dance floors, black light ping pong rooms, and all kinds of weirdness. We knew the next night we had to leave and drive overnight right after the show, so this was the last chance we had to throw down. And throw down we did. There was crowd surfing, euro dancing, unnecessary shots, and tons of laughs. End of tour style..


Brugge, Belgium.

Our good buddy, Loopy, showed up! He just happened to be getting off a tour and decided to swing down and hook up with us.
This was the last night with Intronaut. Cool dudes, stellar musicians. We'll see you again, dudes!!
After the Brugge show, we drove all night to...

HELLFEST!

I wish I had a better crowd shot - it was INSANE!!! I also wish I had more pics of the festival in general, but I was having too much fun and totally sleep deprived and just kind of forgot about my camera. Until JUDAS PRIEST played!! Look how close I got!

Rob Halford's voice is still amazing.

Maybe the best show I've ever seen - definitely blew my mind.

HELLFEST CROWD!

What a whirlwind of metal. I figured we couldn't top this day, but we had one more show to play before heading to Calgary for Sled Island.

La Harve, France.

Holy shit. This was absolutely the most sweat soaked, punk rock, party show of the whole tour. Check out the photos from the front lines here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.2184809498668.2133899.1199910770

Thanks to all the rad bros in La Harve for making our last night in Europe one for the books. Can't wait to come back!!



I'll post a quickie about Sled Island tomorrow and be caught up. Coyle is back on the job after that, so posts will be not be as boring. Right, Coyle?

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

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

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
