i swear, you can feel both things y'all :P

there definitely are changes i'd make sonically to most of their records but it's ab's art and they can and should do it their way - they don't owe the fans anything more than giving every album and every show their best shot
I agree!I am so excited for AB7!I love Mark..so much! just as an insane fan! :)(insane fan only) :hug Just Sayin'

That line up is insane btw! Also I see a Switzerland date ! :headbang
Pawns & Kings would be a pretty cool title! It's going to give me a headache to see everybody abbreviate that differently though... P&K, PAK, PaK, P+K, PK, ...

Kidding aside (it should obviously be P&K :shifty), if that's really the title, that gives some insight in the content of the album lyrically.

Pawns & Kings would be a great album title imo. Even though the name implies that the lyrics would be quite... political?

So they are goiing to play the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam. That’s a 17000 venue. Definitely now entering the league of the big bands. Happy I new them before filling small halls and growing up slowly. But definitely excited fir this tour. Great line-up with Halestorm and Mammoth WVH. Confirmation that Mark and Garreth are OK !?

Good question. I remember Garrett reacting quite salty after he was asked why he is not part of Tremonti anymore. He answered something like "I am at a much better place now." alluding to his new job as drummer for WVH.

We never got the full details about his leaving. Think they agreed not to comment on that.
That’s OK.
The word is that it was a money-based decision beceause it was hard for him to make a decent living in Tremonti.

Or - chess concept album.

Is this how we found out the Walk the Sky title as well? Rings a bell.
For all of the hope that it brings...

All we know for now is that there's a line about courage, as per Brian's story during Pre-production

Has to be. Aren't AB's tours always named after the albums?

Pawns & Kings would be a pretty cool title! It's going to give me a headache to see everybody abbreviate that differently though... P&K, PAK, PaK, P+K, PK, ...

Kidding aside (it should obviously be P&K :shifty), if that's really the title, that gives some insight in the content of the album lyrically.
I can't help but keep reading it as Prawns & Kings :facepalm :lol
