T-Touring plans.. I just got confirmation today.. but I'm not sure if I can say, but I think we have a tour.. we have a pretty huge tour, in fact.. damn I don't know if I can say it..

T-Yes in the states..with 2 other bands..and its going to be a very controversial tour.. cause the band that is headlining, just got out of some serious problems recently.. its going to be interesting to see how people react to the tour.. as far as I'm concerned.. I cant wait to go on tour.. I love going on stage and talking to the fans, its just amazing how people come and talk to you.. and its always a challenge to play for a crowd that may not like you.. there  is always somebody that is like.. you guys are fags..and you play..and you rock..and at the end of the show, they think you are pretty good.. hahah.. its like thanks a lot, I take it as a compliment.. cause playing live is amazing, we are not a studio band.. we're going to do a studio album.. then go out and do it live.. I think the fans are everything.. with out the fans, we can write music, ok.. but we need two things.. we need you.. to help promote.. and we need the fans..

T-Oh my god.. I've been there.. many times..

T-Wait a minute... I know who you are.. cause Nancy just gave me the phone number to call.. but you have a website right? in fact I have you in my favorites... you have pictures of yourself with lots of bands..ya know I wanted to get a hold of you.. cause I go to that site, and I'm like wow.. that girl is working so hard, with all these bands, and you have something about Ty Longley right?

T-Exactly.. I've been to your site many many times...cause we just did a show with Great White..

T-Fantastic.. I mean it was not about XYZ ..lets put it that way.. I was happy to be on stage after 10 years, so see fans.. but the truth is.. I was touched by the emotions.. cause everybody was there for Ty.. the emotion was so strong.. in fact I changed the words in one of my songs in "All I'm asking" at one point it says.. I knew the father but I wish I knew the man..  and instead I said I knew the brother.. I wish I knew the man.. brother meaning him.. cause I didn't know him very well.. but I told the audience, I'm going to change the lyrics a little for the show tonight.. and the response was incredible.. everyone was rocking all night... and I came out w/ an acoustic guitar and said screw it.. this is for him.. not for me.. so it was just me, and acoustic guitar and a cello. and the crowd went nuts.. I can assure you people were crying..and it was so touching..

So now ill tell you.. the band we are going on the road with is Great White..

T-Ya its L.A. Guns and Great White.. so I think its going to be a great tour.. we are the first band.. and that's ok.. and I'm really excited, financially its not the best move for me.. hahaha

T-Yes.. and I agreed to give part of the money to the Ty Longley foundation..  so I think this is a really good thing, and of course there is a lot of controversy cause people don't think Great White should go back on the road.. I do think what they are doing is very brave. very brave... Jack  has balls.. serious balls.. cause he stood up..he did not hide behind management, or attorneys.. and I have to give him credit for that..he stood up like a man. But I've always loved jacks voice.. and he's going to give me a run for my money.. that's for sure.. I have a thing.. being an ex-boxer.. so being on stage is like fighting.. so I'm always looking to win, and going on stage w/someone who is so good.. I'm preparing myself.. I went back to the gym.. I'm preparing myself.. and working on my voice.. cause I'm thinking..god hes so good.. and I need to be really good too..so its going to be great.. I cant wait to get on the road..

T-Yes its www.xyzmusic.com  and let people know not to be afraid to contact me..thinking I will not answer, ill always answer.. since the announcement of the band getting back together last year.. I've had over 9000 emails..

T-thank you so much for being loyal and faithful over the years..and being so patient and being so nice, like I said I received so many emails, sorry about my dad and my son.. and also some great fans that send me old pictures that are really funny.. and I think.. wow that was me.. anyway, I wanna say thank you from the bottom of my heart, and I cant wait to see and meet people on the road.. I'm a very humble person, I don't do the rock star thing.. ill talk to everyone..and take pictures.. and if I look like crap.. I'll wear glasses.. hahaha.
