Home Stretch - WS Nominated!

So- we have been nominated for 3 awards so far this year.

• Best Band of the Year

Let's see what happens- we've got some big classic rock company to compete with...
Full Article Here

We hit the UK with 3 more shows with Def Leppard- what a blast. We said our goodbyes and parted ways- we'll see 'em again in Japan. The show in Hungary was great, as was Italy. I got to visit my 2 close friends in Venice who just had a baby- what a treat! The city is so picturesque. Some good (but hot) walks. Now we're in Spain on the home stretch... just a few more shows to go. I got to hang out with Shilo once again, this time in Barcelona. His mom and family in Denmark made their way down for a little Spanish vacation time.

The Spanish shows are by far the hottest shows I've ever done. Do they know nothing of adequate ventilation systems here? Last night, I took a cold shower during the drum solo and after the show, and was still hot and soaked with sweat! Great crowds though- reminds me of being back in South America- passion!

Uriah,
Cheers to world's best bass player!!!
We are looking forward to welcome WS here in northern Portugal !!
I know also a lot of friends who plan to go to La Coruña show as well !!!
At least the show here in Portugal will be open-air !!!
You have to post here more often: with photos and feelings about the tour!
You are the offcial Press-Officer from WS and the only source of reliable news that we have (due to this stupid boycotr from the mainstream press).
So don't forget - while here in Portugal - to ask to eat a "feroz" a "leitão". You'll never forget!
From which airport are you leaving to US, Oporto or Lisbon?

Hey Uriah!! Thanks again for everything, you are an amazing guy with an extra ordinary talent musically and otherwise!! HA HA you know what I mean!! The show in barcelona was sooooo different to anything I'd ever felt before, the UK gigs in comparison were tame! and hot yeah it was. Great to see "little Uriah", Shilo, he's so beautiful and so natural in front of the crowd!! Whilst you were taking that shower -- ooooooh errrrrr ---- Mr C shouted,"where's my bass player? Come on Shilo!!!" It was sooo funny! Mr C was so relaxed too, it was awesome, best gig this year for me!
Thank you my angel and take care, enjoy the rest of the tour and as always we'll be thinking of you. with much love
LouAnne

Dearrrrr!!!
Spain and his air continioning sucks xDDD In Razzmatazz it was killing... In Valencia it was way better even if there WASN'T ventilation at all!

Anyway I'll see you tomorrow again! Thanks for those magical nights!

I hope Shilo liked Barcelona :)

See you in Madrid mate, thank you very much for your kindness!

Love,
Yadira.

Hi.
To answer your question I say you must go to Boom Festival. I'll be there making some Skydive jumps off an air balloon and it will be great!!

Me and my younger daughter will be in Portugal show, so I wish you a great gig here in Portugal - We love you WS!!
