Add one German to that list.  How cool! Welcome to the board, then!  Will I meet you on the "real" tour later this year? Until last night I loved PRR. Now I completely adore them. Never experienced such a friendly band that's up for some chatting, signing and celebrating with the fans after their gig. So yeah, what I've heard from Hammer & Anvil sounds really promising. Even Fight Fire was great live. Haven't heard it in full length before so I can't judge how well it's gonna grow on me... "Even" Fight Fire  Of course!!! ;D Ok, you're talking to an addict... |

Haha, you got me wrong. It's just that many people regard Fight Fire pretty weak. And of course I will attend as many gigs as possible. Last night I was there on my own because 1) I only just moved to Cologne and 2) I don't know ANY prog fans at all.  I was the air-drumming and dancing maniac in the front row. Black Wacken t-shirt, if anyone recalls So yeah, looking forward to the tour. Is there anything known about dates/locations so far? |

I think they're hoping to get out to EU on a longer jaunt this year, and as we know Scala to be an 'end of tour' special, I'd imagine all the dates will be end of Nov/early Dec. Just speculation mind you... I'd really like to get out to Europe but I'm going to Barbados for a wedding mid-November...I've a horrible feeling it's going to clash so I'm just glad I've found a way to get to the Scala. (Yes..another wedding, the end of 2010 for me is mostly punctuated by weddings.) |

Haha, you got me wrong. It's just that many people regard Fight Fire pretty weak. Hehe, you don't have to tell me. But fortunately a lot of those people start to recognise just how brilliant this song is. And of course I will attend as many gigs as possible. Last night I was there on my own because 1) I only just moved to Cologne and 2) I don't know ANY prog fans at all. Well, you don't need to be a prog fan to like PRR. To be honest, AVO was like a brainwash for my prog-infiltrated head. I regard a lot of "classic" prog albums that I used to like as ridiculous since about the time AVO came out. That's not to say that I don't like "prog" anymore, it's just that a big lot of prog bands are not progressive at all. PRR, however, are probably the most progressive band I know and Fight Fire (yeah, yeah, I know) is probably the best example for this. I was the air-drumming and dancing maniac in the front row. Black Wacken t-shirt, if anyone recalls Yeah, I recall the shirt, but not the face (can I blame the vodka again?)... I was the guy with this shirt standing probably not too far away from you.  |

(Yes..another wedding, the end of 2010 for me is mostly punctuated by weddings.) From what I've heard last night (and my brains may just again fool me), I think there are four gigs scheduled in Germany for November. The tour is supposed to be a short one with the "final" being the Scala gig. And there are plans to have another short tour early next year. |

You may blame the fact that my face was mostly directed at Chloe Alper.  And yeah, I do remember the shirt... As for the face... I blame the Kölsch. |

Gonna throw my lot in with Fight Fire. Ever since I heard the studio version, I've thought it's absolutely killer. I think it'll make a fantastic album opener.
Let me just say, everything I've heard from this album so far has blown me away. I really think we're in for a treat here, guys.

Fight Fire just is. I mean I don't think you could blame anyone for being somewhat thrown by it on first listen, but it was clearly a ballsy opener and I can't imagine any other song establishing the albums harder edged sound better. I love these more out there pieces, which stray from what people might expect from the band. Although that being said, it's stuff like Black Mourning which really floats my boat. |

And as I already stated I wasn't too sure about it either when I heard it in that preview snippet. Thought it was just repetitive but then the live version totally audio-castrated me and I think it's gonna make a great opener...  |

I definitely think that all people who were unimpressed by Fight Fire in preview or at it's full version after seeing it live will love it! it's so massive!
According to tour as I spoke to Jamie before gig he said that probably it will be split into 2 legs one end Nov/begin Dec and second after New Year.
He just said that AVO tour was too exhausting and that's why they decide to do so.
He also said that he has no idea yet of where they are going for it's still at preparation by management.
Hopefully "to be announced soon":]
