DENNIS & BUMBLEFOOT
*************************
On November 13th, when Sun Caged were about to leave for two shows in Denmark and Germany, Sun Caged's drummer Dennis Leeflang received a call from Bumblefoot (Ron Thal) who was about to go on tour in France. Ron was experiencing some problems with the drummer for the tour and asked Dennis if it was possible for him to fly over to France right away to do the tour. This was impossible because Dennis was on his way to Denmark with Sun Caged.
Without having a choide, initially Ron managed to work things out with the French drummer and started his tour.
On November 17th, Ron called Dennis again (while Dennis was in Hamburg with Sun Caged) to tell him the first two shows of the tour were a disaster and he would like Dennis to fly over to France ASAP.
Dennis flew to France two days later and did the last two weeks of the tour with Bumblefoot. In the middle of the tour, Dennis flew back to Holland for a show with Sun Caged (Weert, November 23rd), and right back to France the next day.
A great experience for Dennis as Bumblefoot's French management did an awesome job. All logistics taken care of, fancy tour bus, fancy hotels, sold-out venues (between 300 and 700 people) and lots and lots of crazy fans.
On the last show of the tour (Paris), Sun Caged's guitarist Marcel Coenen jammed along with Bumblefoot during the encore.
What an experience!
