Vandenberg presents the official video for “Hit the Ground Running”
Geoff Tate and Adrian Vandenberg have shared personal insights into their planned set lists for the co-headline tour commencing in Clearwater, FL on February 26th. Both artists will be presenting the hits from their historical careers alongside current repertoire.
“Great to be playing all the hits from my fans’ favorite albums. I love being able to have the whole crowd singing along with songs they have known and loved,” Tate offers.
“I’m very excited to finally, finally cross the ocean and tour the States again for the first time since my Whitesnake Slip Of The Tongue Tour in 1990,” Vandenberg adds. “1990. It’s great to have the luxury of being in a position to handpick the blockbuster songs from my 12 years with Whitesnake in their glorious 80s period and from my classic Vandenberg years. I can’t wait to hit the stages with big ones such as ‘Here I Go Again,’ ‘Still Of The Night,’ ‘Is this Love,’ ‘Judgement Day,’ ‘Fool For Your Lovin,’ etc. And of course, some classic Vandenberg hits such as ‘Burning Heart,’ Your Love Is In Vain,’ ‘Wait Till’ the Sh*t Hits The Fan,’ etc. It’s great to have a band together with world-class musicians and a singer who delivers these tracks the way they have to be delivered. And we all know that’s a seriously high standard!. Another huge kick is the amazing reception of my band’s most recent Vandenberg albums 2020 and Sin, so naturally some songs from these albums will be in the set as well. It’s gonna be fantastic to see as many of you as possible on this tour because I missed you guys! Between the songs performed on our end, and Geoff presenting performances from his Queensrÿche years, it is going to be a great show.”
Vandenberg and Music Theories Recordings released Sin last August. Three reveals were presented in to street date. Vandenberg shared at the time, “Sin. Just a tiny, three-letter word but one with a very comprehensive meaning. Everything in between a little white lie and a murder. So, it deserves a powerful, heavy, epic song to do it justice.”
The band has presented a new music video for the song “Hit The Ground Running.”
Every album paints a picture. Instead of utilizing a brush and canvas, Vandenberg paints with towering vocals, earthquake-like rhythms, and the iconic and instantly recognizable fretwork of guitarist and namesake Adrian Vandenberg. Joined by vocalist Mats Levén, drummer Koen Herfst, and bassist Randy van der Elsen, the influential axe-slinger delivers a vibrant, visceral, and vital vision on the group’s fifth full-length offering, Sin via Mascot Label Group, brought to life in broad strokes of anthemic hard rock and airtight metal and produced by Bob Marlette [Ozzy Osbourne, Alice Cooper, Rob Zombie]
