FIREWIND "Frets of Fury" Headlining North American Tour

I can safely say, living in the pizza capitol of America, that even the best pizza isn't as cheesy as Elvenking.
 
Back OT though, i have still not heard anyone commenting on how they think Gus' new fame will help firewind? I know if i were a new kid just getting in to ozzy i would DEFF be getting into firewind!

Last tour was very successful. I remember Jaxx being pretty full when we played with them. Likely they'll be even more full, this time (if they play there).

First time I saw them, Firewind was on tour with Sonata Arctica. So glad to see them getting all this success!

Awaits the Chicago posse to chime in, argue about how their pizza is better, and then proceed to talk about Australia's economy.

How? I have no fucking clue... but they're able to do it somehow.
