As we mentioned earlier this week, REVOKER have recorded a series of tour videos, with the teaser being posted on Jagermeister’s Facebook page on Monday. The first clip in the series is now online and we asked Shane from the band to tell us a bit more about the tour diaries and what the band is up to:
When ever we talk to fans or do interviews we always get asked the same kinda questions you know? Like what’s it like being on tour? Or, what’s it like being in the studio? All that kinda stuff, so I thought it would be cool to put together some ‘tour diaries’ to give people an idea of what it’s like being on tour with Revoker! So while we was on the road doing our headline shows in January I thought I’d take my camera along and see what I could catch on film! I personally love watching this kinda thing, like BFMV’s ‘Bullet TV’, you get to see what life on the road is like and what goes on backstage and stuff! And seems although Jager are so good to us we thought we would give them a little teaser of what’s gonna be coming up in our diaries! So yeah, this is my way of showing you guys what my life is like when we’re on the road and why I love touring so much! So sit back, enjoy it and spread the word!!
They are awesome clips and you can check out the first one below – enjoy!

SLASH has taken some time out from promoting his latest album, ‘Apocalyptic Love’ to talk exclusively with All Axess about what career path he would have chosen had music not worked out. The legendary guitarist said that as a child he had always aspired to become a professional motocross racer and at one point, he was a pro BMX rider. However, he added that as well as not being able to afford the equipment required to launch a career on the professional racing circuit, he would have most probably grown out of it. Instead, he believes he would have pursued his other passion – drawing: “The one talent that I was born with was the ability to draw and illustrate…that would have been probably what I ended up doing as a career.”
