Megadeth / Iced Earth Update

Check out this MEGADETH/ICED EARTH tour update from ICED EARTH guitarist Jon Schaffer as posted at the group’s official web site at www.icedearth.com:

Here is the update:

“So far the tour has been going very well, the response from the ever loyal ICED EARTH fans has made us all proud. We really enjoy talking with the fans whenever possible and the noise that our "army" is making every night is proof that we will prevail and metal will regain the respect in this country that it deserves.

“I thank you all for the warm welcome every night, it makes all the years of sacrifice worth it. I also want to let everyone know that MEGADETH have been very kind to us and we are deeply grateful for the opportunity that [MEGADETH mainman] Dave [Mustaine] has given us by inviting us on this tour. The package is proving to be a success.

“I have one request of you guys, I want you to show your patriotism in a big way at the shows, we are doing ‘Ghost of Freedom’ because we know that a lot of Iced fans are soldiers. Let these guys know you are proud of them and appreciate the fact that they are putting their lives on the line for our freedom. Red, White and Blue runs through my veins and always has, so please, sing along and show your pride.

“Again, I can't thank you enough for coming out, I know some of you have traveled great distances to see us and we appreciate it deeply. If we miss you this time around don't worry because we are setting up our U.S. headline tour as I'm writing this. You guys rule!!!!!!!!! Jon Schaffer”
