This smacks of desperation. Proving that that large crowd in Detroit was definitely a bizarre one off occasion for this played out act....I read an interview where "Ripper" said they would be back in the US this summer to play outdoor shows, and I thought "with their drawing power, where in the fuck could they play??" So I deduced that maybe they would throw together a package, something like Priest w/ some young metal bands and maybe a veteran act like testament or overkill......i never dreamed they would join a hair package...And yes, these shows are official, this isn't just a rumor, I actually went to warrants site for confirmation....a sad sad day.
