In a recent interview with Germany's Rock Hard Magazine, FATES WARNING singer Ray Alder discussed the possible touring replacement for departed drummer Mark Zonder and the band's plans to hit Europe in 2005.
"Of course we're still friends," says Alder with regards to Zonder. "He just didn't want to tour anymore. We haven't ruled out the possibility that he might record the next album with us. We definitely need a new drummer for the live gigs, though. At the moment it looks like Nick D'Virgilio from Spock's Beard will be with us on the upcoming tour."
Tour plans for Europe in support of the new FWX album are being laid out, which might include the return of an old friend to the Fates Warning stage.
"Nothing is confirmed for Germany yet, but it's an important market for us. We haven't toured there in six years. And if things work out, it looks like our former guitar player Frank Aresti will be with us."
Ευχάριστα νέα, τουλάχιστον για εμάς τους λίγους που γουστάρουμε. Από την Ελλάδα θα έλθουν μάλλον σίγουρα. Όσο για τα υπόλοιπα νέα, ο D'Virgilio ακούγεται ως η ιδανική επιλογή για τα ντραμς, αλλά μου φαίνεται λίγο δύσκολο να μονιμοποιηθεί (αν και κατά καιρούς ακούγονται διάφορα για διάλυση των Spock's Beard).Όσο για τον Aresti, θα είναι γαμάτα να έλθουν από τα μέρη μας μαζί του, αλλά είναι κρίμα που δεν παίζει στους δίσκους.
Άντε, άντε, περιμένουμε ημερομηνίες...
