merrrrrrrry Christmas ya buncha FREAKSSSSSS !!!! you already gave me the best xmas present i could ever get - packed out sold out mayhemic jammed can'tgetanotherfreakinthisjointwithacrowbar kinda shows all across the US in the last month ! The last 2 gigs ( the Chance & Birch Hill ) were insane due to the presence of the almighty Anton Fig on the drumkit alongside BamBam McConnell , it was a dream come true to blaze out the 1900's with 2 drummers & rICHIE , pAUL, & lARRY backing my play . What i did NOT expect was the mad rush for TICKETS -- we sold out the Chance so solidly that the upper balcony was completely jammed for the first time in my career there (skid never sold the place out , SB&F packed it out no problemo, what up with that ???) & you freaks snapped up 170 more tickets this time @ the Chance than you did the last time we played there - would've been more but that's all we could fit in the venue ! now THAT is a xmas i'll never forget ! same deal @ the Birch Hill the next night & Mulcahy's in Long Island & L'amour in Brooklyn & Sharky's in NH - it felt AWESOME to play to so many of you - i cannot thank you all enough for selling out the shows & you have all GUARANTEED yet another east coast tour for us which means more to me than you could ever know ! thanks again to the band , the road crew , my agency Premiere, Spitfire Records , all the owners / staff of the venues we levelled, & most of all YOU WHO CAME OUT & ROCKED WITH US !! i hope you all have a MERRY CHRISTMAS & a HAPPY NEW YEAR & i love you all for making my dreams come true !!

well rehearsal this weekend sure was fun , i'm really looking forward to the US TOUR & cranking up some fresh tunage for this jaunt ! i've been thinking about this tour & it really is cool to be ending the 1900's in a blaze of rock'n'roll touring madness . what a great way to go into the year 2000, when i'm 80 years old i will think back to december 1999 & dig the fact that we spent the last days of this millenium rocking like muthertruckers , it's kind of like an exclamation mark at the end of a sentence that is 1,999 years long !!! this is it people - time to tear it up one last time before the year 2000 ! see ya soon !

joining me on the road this december on guitar with RICHIE, LARRY , & BAMBAM will be PAUL CROOK from ANTHRAX ! I have known Paul for years & I am totally stoked for you to hear the heavy tones he adds to the band , I'm sure you will all dig hearing him shred with us this december ! When we opened for Pantera in 1998 Anthrax was also on the bill & hearing Paul cook on stage every night blew my mind & since he lives very close to the Bach Ranch we hooked up & started jamming & it sounds brutal . I will still work with Jimmy Flemion in the studio in the future ,& live as well I hope , but right now Paul is in the band . Jimmy is busy with the Frogs right now & I wish him all the best he is a true bud ! no rules / no compromise mothertruckers !
