I'm just curious to know what Eric songs will be played and how Snake will sing 'em. Haven't there already been a few shows with Snake last year? If I'm right, can anyone shed light on what songs they have been playing?

They didnt do any Eric songs when they toured last summer so i doubt they'll add some of them during the next go around.

Away said they are not ready to do Eric-era songs. He said they bring back bad memories. Not sure what that meant.. On the other hand - Snake said he would love playing some of those songs. He even named a few that he likes from the 2 Eric CD's. I remember him mentioning Mercury. So - who knows...

Listening to the back vocals on '' Gasmask revival '' , Snake can easily perform some Forrest era songs imo .

Yeah, I just read that Snake won't be doing any Eric-era songs. I would have been curious to hear him tackle a few, but I can't say I'm disappointed in the least. This leaves more room for older favorites.

Pity, cuz there are some great tunes on Phobos too... But if this means more songs from Killing Tech and Dimension, I won't complain...

with the cd release drawing near, It is amazing that tour dates haven't started to pop up and who they might tour with.

VOIVOD To Kick Off Tour In Early April - Feb. 7, 2003

Canadian metallers VOIVOD, now featuring in their ranks former METALLICA bassist Jason Newsted, are set to kick off a North American tour in support of their self-titled new album on April 10, according to Newsted's latest online posting. "Voivod" is due on March 4 through Jason's Chophouse Records in association with Surfdog Records.

The following is Newsted's entire post as it appears in the "VOIVOD Diary" section of the Chophouse Records web site:

"Why haven't I written? Because I've been too busy kicking ass!!! Over the last 6 weeks since my last entry, we've been working hard to get the music to the people. The VOIVOD 3-song sampler featuring 'Gasmask Revival', 'Rebel Robot', and 'We Carry On' has dropped on the metal world, and is being well-received by people who know good music when they hear and feel it. We've completed all artwork for the record. The band is together in California for a bit. We spent [a weekend in late January] filming our first video for the track 'We Carry On' with some great creative people from Industrial Light and Magic here in the Bay Area. The video will be finished in approximately 1 month. We're planning world premiere screenings for late February. Also, keep an ear on your local radio for new VOIVOD music.

"As of [late January], we are roughing in April 10, 2003 as tour start date for VOIVOD in the US. We are all very excited to share our new band with the world - so let's go!!! And remember, you never know what is going to happen tomorrow, so we gotta ROCK today!"

I was at the first reunion show w/ Snake ...I believe it was London Ontario? I could be wrong.

Anyway, they didnt do any songs past Angel Rat.

If memory serves they played:

unknown knows
order of the blackguards
warriors of ice
The Prow
tribal convictions
overreaction
nuclear war
chaosmongers
voivod
astronomy domine

I feel like I'm missing some, but I cant remember exactally.

Jason's friends with Devin Townsend so Strapping Young Lad might be a big possibility. That would be cool, IMO.
