MSG American Tour

[sixxswine]

First of all there is a Portland date, but if you recall he cancelled last fall and there was a date in Portland....
Anyway here's the rest of the dates... There is a chance I will get to catch him twice within a month if I wind up on a road trip to So Cal...

Dear God, I'd love to see him in that small Milwaukee club.
Cool place, but it'll be PACKED!

It's worth seeing him. If he shows...
He's pretty high on my death pool.

Didn't he "retire" from all music related stuff last year, when the last bunch of shows was cancelled? MS is HIGH maintenance!
(Saw hin on the 2nd solo album tour, what a GREAT show that was, they OPENED for Molly Hatchet....(???!!!)

I don't know if he retired, but he did cancel the tour and lost the entire band with the exception of his Keyboardist and guitarist. He's got issues, that and he owes tons of child support and his ex vows to get even...
I would not rule out another cancellation of this tour. Last time around he blamed it on the singer having family issues.
I got a chance to interview former bassist Rev Jones and he spoke about the situation with MSG in depth... Just in case you missed it:

I'm pretty sure the singer (Jari Tiura) is still in the band and should be on this tour (if it ever happens).

Where are the dates in Canada??? I'd love to have the chance to see Schenker live at least once in my life.

I'm not too concerned about the singer, it's about two things Schneker's metal status and if that's in check then he always has a solid band behind him playing those classic fucking songs!

Yeah absolutely, hell the name of the group pretty much tells everyone who it's all about but I was just commenting on this bit:

Jani Tiura isn´t, in my opinion, a good singer for MSG with the set list they use to play. He got high pitched vocals that doesn´t fit too much into UFO classics. Maybe they could recover some of the McAuley Schenker Group tunes (specially from "Save yourself"). I prefer Gary Barden years (and obviously UFO) but I´m curious of listening that songs live with Jani Tiura. Finish Jani isn´t a frontman, it´s only the guy that sings. Chris Logan was far better

I expected nothing less. I guess it's safe to say he won't be on THIS alleged tour?

I saw MSG about 9 months ago in Glasgow and he was AMAZING. It was in a small club as well, maybe holding about 300 max, and it was crammed but I dont know how I managed it but one minute I was right at the back of the bar and the next minute I was right in front of the stage just before MSG came on. I thought Jani Tiura was really good, loved his voice and he belted out those classics superbly. It was especially awesome when he came right over to me and sang ONLY YOU CAN ROCK ME, ROCK ME, three times into my face. The setlist was right in front of me and there were about 16 songs on it but there were a few crossed out and he only played about 12 maximum and was only on the stage for just over one hour, so that was a bit of a bummer - but overall yeah fantastic performance. ROCK BOTTOM WAS NOTHING SHORT OF ORGASMIC!!! I'd definitely love to check him oot again!

I meant in the prevoius post that Jani Tiura is good. When I saw MSG in Madrid he did OK but I prefer Logan.

However, listening "On and on", "Victim of illusion" or "Attack of the mad axeman" is always overwhelming. That´s why i think Michael shouldn´t base his set lists in UFO songs. In his career he has written enough songs to play live. 2 o 3 UFO classics, no more! Besides, UFO does european tour every year.

I prefer Kelly Keeling.... Or Graham Bonnet.
