Metal Rules recently spoke with Heaven and Hell drummer Vinny Appice, and talk turned to the bands ucpcoming tour alongside Judas Priest, Motorhead and Testament.
Several excerpts from the interview are included below.
Q: In August you'll be once more hitting the road with Heaven And Hell, alongside JUDAS PRIEST, MOTÖRHEAD and TESTAMENT?
A: "Right, that's going to be awesome."
Q: That being the case, has the band given any thought to the set
list for this tour, like are you going to be playing stuff that you
didn't on the previous tour?
A: "Oh yeah, we're playing different songs, but we're not playing
Sabbath songs. We're going to play some different songs from Heaven And
Hell."
Q: Really, you're going to shuffle around the set list for this upcoming tour?
A: "Oh yeah, we've got to. We played a whole year of those songs; we can't go out and play the same set."
Q: That's certainly good to hear, there's so much good stuff to
choose from. Can you give any clues as to what songs might get played?
A: "Maybe we'll play 'Turn Up The Night', 'TV Crimes', 'Time
Machine'... we've got a lot of songs we haven't played, so we'll be
probably switching them that way, but we're not going to play
'Paranoid' and all that stuff."
Q: Thank goodness for that! At the beginning of the last tour you
were playing for about two hours, but as the tour progressed you
dropped a couple of songs cutting the set down somewhat. What was the
reason for that?
A: "Yeah, we started with a long set and then we just cut it
because at a couple of shows we had to play less time and then we
pulled the songs out and everybody went 'Let's just play that.' But
then that got longer because we started jamming, so what went from...
we played for two hours, down to an hour and forty-five minutes, then
it went back up to almost two hours, because on 'Heaven And Hell' we
started jamming shit, which was good because we were enjoying it so
much. We just started jamming and improvising, so that's a good thing."
