I feel ya, I was at that show at Jannus, about 100 people there and raining.
I don't blame them 1 bit for not coming back to the Tampa area. Our "rock" station has been shitty for a long time. They still play 3 days grace and Staind songs from 10 years ago 10 times a day.
They only play new music that is completely ripe for the masses like Volbeat and 5 finger (who I like).

I have just accepted that AB music is a bit too intellectual for this area of DJ's and Hip Hop. No patience for a sonic journey, just a head bang and ass slap then on to the next song.
Tampa in the 90's actually was the complete opposite. 98 rock helped launched some big bands by not being afraid to go off the beaten path a little. Huge bands such as Creed, Fuel, LimpBizkit, Candlebox, Days of the New, Disturbed.

I've been going to the Orlando shows since and those work out great because they are Hometown shows with release parties with real fans. Its like everyone is part of a big family at those shows.

So Oct dates may be coming. I just got an Eventful email saying AB are going to be at the Worcester (MA) palladium on 10/9 with California Breed with tix on sale 7/18.

Whoa....... That's sick if it's true. California Breed is going to be playing with both bands from Myles?

Seems like it if this is true.

I knew Glenn Hughes was in CB, but so is Jason Bonham. Holy Myles connections Batman!

Sooooooooon....... I'm salivating it. We should eventually rename this thread into the remaining AB US tour 2014.

So is it true that they will have toured this album more than ABIII?

Nope. ABIII had around 120-140 shows I think (two headlining Europe legs, one Europe Festival leg, two headlining US legs with some festivals, the Carnival of Madness Tour, and Soundwave Festival).

So far, there is (one headlining Europe leg, one US leg, Soundwave, a few shows in Asia, and a Europe Festival Leg). What's left is one last US headlining leg and one more Europe leg with South America up in the air as usual.

No way. We got a 5-6 week US tour with half of that being festivals. For AB III they toured from like February to May in the US plus Carnival of Madness and 2 European headlining runs along with summer festivals. I think Kevin got them all. But even the runs they're doing for Fortress have less overall shows than the runs they did for AB III. But ya know they didn't have to spend half their winter and spring sending Myles to LA to record with Slash on the AB III run.

Well, it's not like there's much left to do during that run anyway other than maybe hit South America or fill some gaps in areas that they should have gone to like a headlining show in Poland or any areas in the states.

Or start in the US earlier and actually hit some more cities. Lol

Had a crappy day at work. This more than makes up for it.

I don't like being teased like this. It hurts. A lot. I will feel a lot of relief when the official announcement is, well, official.

@arsalsedo @LTLFest We will be in California in October.

What's the tease? That's great news for you. Cheer up!

I just want to hear the official announcement and get pumped already rather than get pumped now, hear that they are not doing it for whatever reasons (very unlikely), and become all gloomy again.

saw this on twitter today. sounds like Eddie knows something as he's sounds sure he's seeing them in Oct.

His show is filmed in NYC, right?

Yeah, he resides somewhere in the NYC area. Uctalum01 also stated that she received a notice that they are playing a show in Massachusetts so AB wind up somewhere in NYC or Jersey around that time and Trunk may go.

the last season it did, but it's been in LA before that. he's said that he doesn't know where the next season will be filmed yet.

They can do more than one US headlining tour. That would be sweet. Like they used to.

October though. Sounds about right for what I was hearing.

Dates being leaked out.
