More Rock Hard Festival: A new interview from the festival was posted on the Rockpalast site. It's only in German. Sven has kindly gave me a synopsis of that. Thanks, Sven!!

You can pick it in the interview section along with other bands.

http://www1.wdr.de/fernsehen/kultur/rockpalast/videos/uebersicht-rock-hard-festival-fuenfzehn100.html

He talks about playing in Germany, how he defines the setlist, his favorite song he plays live is Rock Bottom, interacting with the other band members and the audience during the show, that the youth is exploring the older music, that he lost his stage fright back in 2008 and now he enjoys being on stage.

When he was asked what he is doing after the show, if he hang out with other bands he mentioned that they (the band) has a competition who leaves the place at first (he laughs about it).

And if they have a ritual before entering the stage. He denies, that the is a certain ritual of the whole band. Everyone is preparing in his own way, because they are all very experienced.

In the preview section is also the version of Rock Bottom in a better quality available.

Temple of Rock Toronto Show Cancelled: An important announcement has been posted on Michael Schenker's official website.

Michael Schenker's Temple of Rock have with great regret had to cancel their up coming show at Rockpile West in Toronto. A spokesman for the band said. It is with great regret that we have had to cancel the show at Rockpile West on Wednesday night. Our singer Doogie White has been suffering with a chest infection for the last 5 shows and despite his finest efforts it has been decided to cancel this show to give him 2 days off from performing and offering a better chance for him to recover so the band can continue to give their very best at the shows for the remainder of the ÂŒSpirit on a Mission USA tour. Doogie commented, I am very disappointed for the people who were looking forward to seeing TEMPLE of ROCK in Toronto, I have happy memories of playing there last year. The last 3 shows have been a real struggle for me and rather than jeopardize the remainder of the tour we had to make this difficult decision.

Michael Schenker's TEMPLE of ROCK with continue the remainder of the tour starting in Concord Music Hall Chicago on April 23.

"We are sorry for the inconvenience caused to those who bought tickets for the 3 affected shows but hope they will come rawk out with us at the re-scheduled performances. Sometimes things get beyond even our control and best endevours, as was the case in this situation".
