On The Road with Fozzy on the Eyes On You UK Tour

Alright, you guys know that I'm on the road a lot, touring, filming, recording podcasts,

and nothing kills the vibe faster when I finally get home and walking in the spotting

ants in the kitchen, or a spider on a random wall.

And you know that if you don't handle that stuff immediately, one bug turns you to hundreds

really fast.

I used to deal with the big pest control companies, scheduling appointments, people showing up

at the house, total hassle, so I decided to handle it myself, and that's what I found

like.

It's DIY pest control, but super easy.

They send you a customized kit, based on your location, season, and weather, and it's

got everything you need, pro grade pesticide.

The same stuff, the pros use, plus a sprayer, mixing bag, gloves, and simple instructions.

I'm talking less than 10 minutes, and you're done.

I hit my place with pesty, and it just feels good knowing everything's handled.

No ants, no spiders, no surprises.

It's way more affordable than those companies charging hundreds of bucks.

It's kid and pet friendly when used as directed, which my family loves.

And there's no strangers coming on to your property, which I love.

Plus pesty gets rid of over 100 types of bugs, and they back it with a 100 percent bug-free

guarantee or your money back.

Keep the bugs away with pesty.

Go to pesty.com slash T.I.J. for an extra 10 percent of your order, that's p-e-s-t-i-e dot

com slash T.I.J. for an extra 10 percent off.

I'm done with subscriptions, streaming, fitness, razors, vitamins.

I've got subscriptions for everything in my life.

They lock you in, and half the time I can't figure out how to unsubscribe.

That's why I'm so excited about the new blue apron.

Now you can get delicious meals delivered with no subscription needed, including new pre-made

options.

Keep the flavor.

Ditch the subscription.

Chris Jericho Fawzi.

All right, but like I said today is all about the Fawzi eyes

on you, 2026 UK tour.

The biggest UK tour Fawzi's ever done,

almost 9,000 tickets sold, packed houses night after night.

The biggest shows in every city we played in

with a few exceptions and some of the craziest crowds

we've ever played for in cities like Manchester,

Nottingham, Newcastle, and even London was insane.

I'm gonna break down the whole experience

from kicking things off in Brighton.

Losing my glasses to the insane Manchester show

where a technical meltdown delayed the start of the gig,

almost canceled the whole thing.

At some point I was thinking,

but the crowd was even louder and crazier as a result.

Glasgow on Valentine's Day, climbing an amp stack

in Newcastle in front of the biggest crowd

we've ever played there.

I'll tell you all about the VIP jams,

the wild after show hangouts with tail gunner,

Marisa in the moths and Jeff Waters from an Isle letter

and KK Downey from Judas Priest and Michael Okoo

and the list goes on and on.

And seeming some of our musician friends on the road

as well, like Phil Campbell from...

Phil Campbell, the bastard sons

and of course the legendary Motorhead.

I'll tell you how we spend our downtime on tour,

some of the unexpected things that happened,

going to see some movies on the road

discovering a legendary Metallica bootleg

in a little punk rock record shop in Norwich,

watching the Super Bowl and an English pub

in Manchester.

We're taking you behind the scenes

a full travel log breakdown of the eyes on you, 2026,

UK Foszy Tour, and it's starting right here,

right now on Talk is Jericho.

All right, welcome to Talk is Jericho

and on this special Friday edition,

Friday, I wanted to talk about our recent eyes on you

tour of the UK that finished February 21st

in Wolverhampton, England.

And just kind of give you a tour recap

because it was at this stage of our game

of Foszy's career 25 years in,

it was probably the best tour we've ever had.

Definitely the biggest tour we've ever had

from a attendant standpoint,

almost 9,000 tickets sold.

And from a financial standpoint,

I mean, it was unbelievable, the gross on this thing

was over a quarter of a million dollars,

which, you know, is it Metallica level?

No, but for Foszy, that's a big, big deal,

especially due to the fact that here we are 25 years

into our career, close to 26 now.

And after going to the UK since 2005,

for us to have a tour of this magnitude, you know,

as a headliner, something that we're very, very proud of,

we're very, very proud of it.

And it was just so much fun,

like there's just something about the UK audiences,

they've always embraced Foszy right out of the beginning.

I told the story many times,

the first show we ever had in Nottingham, UK in 2005,

it's in a place called Rock City.

And there are three different venues

within this big kind of complex.

And I walked on the stage in one of the smaller rooms,

and I thought that I'd actually walked

on the wrong stage because there were so many people there,

we had never drawn a crowd like that before.

It was like, no, this is just the way it is

for Foszy in the UK, for whatever reason.

Right out of the gate, people love Foszy

and help get us to the next level.

I mean, obviously America is our biggest territory overall,

but the UK is definitely our second home.

And the crowds in this tour were just mind boggling.

So yeah, it was really, really cool.

You know, we put the tickets out on the sale,

probably six months before,

is what you basically have to do now

with so many bands going out there,

if you look at like Russian, Iron Maiden, and Halloween,

and you know, food fighters,

and all the bands that are touring this summer,

their tickets come out six months before,

a year before, you know, guns and roses have that.

And you just, you have to put out the tickets

with a lot of time,

because there's so many different options for people nowadays.

You want to give them as much time as possible.

But we did a lot of different promotion for it.

What really works obviously is the old school,

magazines and newspapers and radio stations

and platforms and satellite radio that they have over there,

but also a lot of target-based ads, city-based ads,

venue-based ads.

I did a video for every single video,

a video for every single show on the tour

for the localized promotion.

You know, you really got a hammer at home.

And, you know, the days of just putting a flyer up on the wall

are done.

Now you still have to do that,

but you have to do all this other way of it as well,

plus along with all the social media stuff that we did as well.

So I flew into England on Thursday the 5th.

I got in in the morning.

And of course, then you go straight to do press.

And we've got some great stuff done there.

But beforehand, I went to the V&A East Storehouse in London

to see the David Bowie exhibit.

Now what this place is, is a giant museum.

Temperature control, I'm assuming fireproof and waterproof

and rat proof and insect proof.

And what has got in there?

There's over 750,000 artifacts.

Now not all Bowie, of course.

There's 90,000 Bowie artifacts.

And, you know, 700,000 paintings and art and sculptures

and furniture and weaponry and wardrobe and armor,

just all of this stuff from hundreds of years ago,

all the way up into modern times that's within this building.

And what you do is obviously they have kind of a little bit

of a display, like a museum,

but it reminds me of the end of Raiders Lost Ark

with the Ark of the Covenant in that giant warehouse

where there's just thousands and thousands and thousands

of things just put away.

Now what you can do, like for example, for the Bowie exhibit,

they've got some of the great stuff out there

and you can see I put together a TikTok on my Instagram.

What you do is if you make an appointment,

okay, I'm coming in next Thursday at five,

I want to see Bowie, Ziggy, Stardust,

outfit that he wore at Wembley Arena in 1972.

They will bring that out and show it to you.

And you can look at it and I'm assuming,

probably not touch it, but you can,

I don't know, maybe take a picture with it or whatever, maybe.

And they do that for everything,

all the artifacts that they have there.

So it's just a really cool place to see.

And I'm glad that I did that because sometimes

when you come to town, it's such a whirlwind,

you don't get a chance to go do something cool like that.

So, and everyone who knows that I'm such a big Bowie fan

to get a chance to see all the albums and the costumes

and the videos and the trinkets and the notes

and the handwritten lyrics and just all of that sort of stuff,

all in place, but also know that it's not just about that,

that also there's like literally hundreds of thousands

of other interesting pieces of work and art in there,

definitely a place to go to.

And then I was great because then I went and did some

suppress for Metal Hammer Radio and for Planet X Radio,

Radio X is called and these are big time stations there

with some great hosts, you know,

doing some great things and we had a lot of fun

on Radio X talking about the greatest Super Bowl show

ever, ever and on Corang Radio.

Told some great stories about Ozzy and Sharon and, you know,

it's just really cool for me to go be a guest

on some of these shows with some great hosts

because most of the time, you know, obviously,

when I'm not on tour, I'm the one who's hosting.

So it's cool just to be able to go and host, you know,

just be a guest and tell great stories and have some fun.

So that was all in London, then drove to Brighton,

which is about two hours away and it's an ocean side town.

And man, I'll tell you what, when you get into England

at 7 a.m. and hit the ground run and chained,

when you finally get to your room and get a chance

to just kind of lie down and relax, there's nothing better.

But there was also a cool gym at the hotel,

so I went and worked out and yeah, just kind of relax

and know that, okay, let the madness begin,

as Ozzy would say.

So the next day, I go to the venue,

which was a new venue for us, it was called the Choc venue.

And of course, this is the first time I'm seeing the bus,

the tour bus with all the guys who,

the guys flew to London, get picked up at the tour bus,

they drive to Brighton.

I got picked up by just a SUV limo thing

and taking you to the press.

And then here we go to the venue.

Advanced tickets were once again highest,

highest that we'd ever been.

But man, I'll tell you what, over there,

the last week, people just buy tickets in droves.

And we're talking 20, 30% of our overall ticket sales

were sold in the last week.

And a lot of that has to do with the press

and the individual ads that I was telling you about.

But all of that was just a great indicator

that we were gonna have a great show.

So I check out of the hotel, I go over to the venue

and here we go, we're ready to rock it in Brighton.

And moving to the vault was amazing

because here's the thing,

it's something that Biff from Saxon told me.

When you play smaller rooms,

they're always fun in a punk rock attitude

and that sort of thing.

But when you play bigger rooms, more people come.

Because people don't necessarily want to go to a punk rock venue

with a punk rock bathroom and low ceilings

and that sort of thing.

And that was a fuzzy standard when we first started.

Low ceilings, very hot sweat running down the walls.

This tour was not like that.

There was a couple of venues like that,

but mostly they were really big rooms.

And the chalk was no different.

And another cool thing about this tour for the As New Tour

was for most of the cities we played in,

they were the highest grossing shows

and sold the most tickets ever in these cities.

That's the biggest show we ever had in Brighton.

The most famous show we ever had in Brighton was years ago

when Rod Smallwood, the manager of Iron Man, came to see us.

And his first comment was,

you guys wear shirts with big faces on them.

Don't do that.

It's like I think I had a shirt with the red

from a Venge 7 folds face on it.

So don't wear shirts with big faces

if the manager of Iron Man's come to see you.

But that's not there here, no there.

So we go to Brighton and nothing to do

is right before him with PJ and I,

PJ Farley, the bass player from Fuzzy.

We went out to have some dinner.

And there was these two girls sitting close to us.

They were very pretty kind of influencer types.

But the longer we sat, the less pretty they got.

Because all they did was take pictures on their phone of,

you know the look, hold the phone up, look up,

the duck lips, take pictures, exchange phones.

And then once or twice a minute,

they did it's the whole hour that we were there.

Like, man, this is the world we live in.

A hour of taking influencer shots.

Hopefully they were there like on a assignment or something.

But it was a great, great show with our touring guests,

tail gunner who will talk more about

and Reese and the Moths who will talk more about

great, great rock and roll bands,

great UK rock and roll bands found by our tour manager Simon,

who's just a superhero on this tour.

He does everything and you'll hear about that.

But it was a great way to kick off the tour.

We started driving to the next city.

And of course now you got some jet lag.

And you're on tour, you need to stay up late on the bus.

It's fine.

You know, if you sleep for a couple hours and wake up at 6 a.m.,

you could sleep until 8 and then sleep again.

Problem was I realized when we got down the highway

that I left my glasses in the hotel room in Brighton,

which is so preposterous because I always do a dummy check.

It looks like I am the dummy that needed to be checked.

My glasses are important.

You have to have them.

So then I got to call the hotel to Hilton.

So then they got to find a place to send it.

They're going to ship it to Bradford,

which is like, you know, six days down the road

to make sure we can get it.

And now I'm glasses lists.

I just have to work contacts the whole time.

But then right out of the gate, forget my stupid glasses.

But then we end up in Margate, which was a famous place

that we used to play because we used to take the ferry

to Italy from Margate.

And we just just book us anywhere.

It was this little pub called the West Side pub,

which is funny because Margate's on the east side.

And there's another one of those ones

with the stages of the floor.

Not anymore because in Margate we played the Dreamland,

which was another great venue in the middle

of like this big amusement park area.

So you got off there and it was like,

there was like a Ferris wheel.

It looked like Coney Island.

There's like, you know, all of these kind of rides

and this sort of thing.

And what I decided to do this tour,

which I hadn't done for a while,

is I started lifting weights again over the last year.

So, of course, really concentrating on fasting and planking

and all that stuff.

Well, fasting and planking, you can do anywhere and it's easy.

But lifting weights, you got to find a place.

So if you've heard of the planet fitness here in the States,

there's a place in the UK called Pure Gym.

And what you do is you buy a day pass

and then you get there and they give you a pin code

and you punch the code and there's like a pod.

And you punch in the code and you walk in the pod,

it closes behind you.

And there's a second of like terror

whereas the other side can open

or we can just get stuck here like Derek Smalls

and Simletap, but no, the other side opens and away you go.

So I did that most of the days on this tour

and then what a difference it makes.

It's a lot of times we do our VIP at four.

We have a very successful VIP program,

which takes some time because we usually cap it at 25.

But still, there's 25 people.

We play four songs to them.

Most of them they're not gonna hear later on that night.

This tour was bad tattoo, spider in my mouth.

We played relax a bunch of times.

We played suffrage at city.

We played big city nights.

All songs that were not playing later on that night.

And then also too, we have a guest singer

if you're so inclined.

You can arrange that VIP meet and greet.

So sometimes we would have a singer

that come up to do Judas most of the time,

but we had one painless and one drinking with Jesus.

So that was kinda cool as well.

But you just started the VIP at four.

And by the time you're done, it's five o'clock.

But still, you don't play until 9.30.

So boom, off to the pure gym I go and get my workout in.

I don't work out long, 30 minutes.

That's all you need.

I get it in there, I get the hell out.

And away we go.

I was training my jeans most of the time as well,

which was funny because I used to do

one of those guys look like a good training jeans.

I can't be bothered to put on shorts

because it was raining and cold and blustery.

The entire time we were there,

wherever we went in that country, the rain followed us.

It was insania.

But we did the VIP, I did the gym,

and then we do Margate and once again,

it's the biggest show we've ever had in Margate.

Sophie Lloyd came and plays guitar for MGK.

And she also has a very successful solo act as well.

So it was cool to meet her and have her come by.

And that's one of the cool things about when you're on tour,

you get a chance to meet and greet a lot of your old friends

and meet new ones.

But Margate was an amazing, amazing time.

And once again, we're on our way

across this amazing country.

I'll tell you more about the eyes on you tour

when we return right here on Talk is Jericho.

All right, when it comes to money,

I think most of us want the same thing.

Fewer headaches, fewer surprises,

and something that actually makes sense in real life.

That's where Telus comes in.

Telus originally started as a leading property management app,

Welcome back to the eyes on you tour recap.

After Margate, we go to Manchester.

And once again, it's the biggest show

we've ever had in Manchester.

And this is a big place, it's called The Ritz.

And it is jam packed, just an unbelievable, huge, huge show.

And one of the things we added to this tour

was some great video production that was programmed

by Rich Ward, my partner in crime.

He did such a great job of every song has its own graphic

and has its animation and video production and AI and CGI

and stop motion and clips from different movies.

And it's just really, really well done.

It's a really big part of the visual side of Fuzzy Set.

Along with just the energy that we have as well,

I mean, the energy of the band is unbelievable.

And the set list, too, we added some songs

that we hadn't played in the UK in a while.

And some songs that we hadn't played at all in a while,

like One Crazed Anarchist from Do You Want to Start a War.

And a lot of people were buzzing on that.

It's such a great live tune.

We took it out of the set for a while.

We put it back in.

You take out bad tattoo and you take out relax

and you take out spider in my mouth.

And we added, you know, crazy train as an encore,

which was an awesome, awesome encore.

And we put SOS back in the set, which

is one of our most downloaded songs.

And a song like One Crazed Anarchist goes in,

you know, and it just makes the set so much more fun

because you're playing some songs that we haven't played

in a while and haven't played in the UK ever,

like an army of one and fall in line.

And so it makes for a really great set,

if you add in Judas and Painless and lights go out

and, you know, some of our really big hits Spotlight,

Nord Run, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

So this show in Manchester was massive.

So what we do is we have this song called Living Next Door

to Alice from a UK band called Smoky.

They're kind of like a 70s, I don't know,

Blood Sweat and Tears version of a UK band.

And they got to live in next 24 years,

by the la, la, la, la, la, la, la, now.

For 24 years, I've been living next door to Alice.

And that's how the song goes.

But in the UK, I noticed this

because I did a show called Name That Tuner.

It was at Ireland and when they played that song

to warm the crowd up, when it ended,

24 years, I've been living next door to Alice

and the crowd goes, Alice, Alice, who the fuck is Alice?

When I heard that I was like, oh my gosh,

that's the best one to go, which is the song you play

before your entrance music,

or before your intro music,

like Iron Maiden Noise Place Doctor Doctor by UFO.

And Metallica plays like Heavy Metal Thunder.

Or it's a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll.

What ours is in the UK, especially,

is Living Next Door to Alice,

which is just unbelievable to be able to do that.

So we do that tune and then we have this really long

kind of a two or three minute orchestral,

like epic orchestra version of painted black,

and then fall in line starts.

Problem is after painted black ended,

there's a big gap and suddenly we know there's a problem.

And there was something wrong with video projection

that was screwing everything up in the entire system.

All the electronics on stage were messed up.

Now usually you get away with that, you know,

because it takes 30 seconds to kick it in.

This took like two minutes, four minutes, six minutes.

And everyone in the crowd is, you know,

they're having a good time.

They're singing along, they're chanting things.

They're just, I'm using themselves,

but now we're getting to the point now where it's like,

if this goes much longer,

we're gonna have a mutiny on our hands.

And then lo and behold, after about 10 minutes,

fall in line starts and the crowd goes bananas.

And after that, they were so excited.

It's one of those things that can rustling.

If you're gonna be late, don't be just late a little.

Be so late that they're excited that you got there,

that they're relieved that you got there.

Like if you get there 10 minutes late, you get fine.

If you get there 55 minutes late,

it's like, oh my god, you're here, let's go, let's go.

So let's kind of have a match up.

So we ended up tearing the house down at this place

because like I said, it was a massive gig.

And it just goes to show, you can't panic.

You know, once you're out there,

you gotta put on a show.

And you know, if the whole video wall

and it didn't work, then the electronics went down.

We would have figured something out.

We still would have played a show.

But you know, when you're so hyped and ready to go,

and then there's some sort of a glitch,

which affects everything on stage, lighting,

you know, the drumming, everything.

It was cool that we were able to work it out.

And man, that was one of my favorite shows of the tour

because the crowd was just nuts.

And they were massive, big balcony,

and just a really, really cool vibe.

So then we had the first day off on the tour.

And that was really cool too.

We'd have three days on and one day off as a singer

that really helped my voice

and made me feel really good vocally.

And with a deaf and nourish, home of Saraya.

And so you get in and you're looking for stuff to do.

And it was Friday, 13th was coming up.

So I had the idea to do kind of an all-star panel

with Eli Roth and Damien Leoni

about the greatest kills in Friday the 13th movie history.

And that was a ton of fun to do during the day

when you have a day off.

You can listen to that on talk as Jericho.

Then went to the gym and then Grant and PJ and I went

and saw Send Help, which is always fun to go to the movies,

especially in a foreign country, especially when you're off.

And what a great movie that was Sam Raimi

and Rachel McAdams.

It's kind of a horror, but it's a little bit

batshit crazier than that.

Thumbs up.

Definitely one of the best movies I've seen in a while.

Another one that I saw that was really good

on the way over to UK was a movie called Dangerous Animals.

It's about the serial killer that kills people

by using sharks.

It's really, really well done.

So if you like, kind of horrific movies,

check both of those out.

Then the next day, we're in Norwich

and there's a really cool punk rock record store

outside of the venue, went in there

and found this great wicked Metallica bootleg vinyl,

double vinyl from 1984, London Lyceum Theater.

And I took a picture of it and sent it to Lars

and just asked him if he remembered.

He's like, yeah, it was like the last show

of the right, the lightning European run, December of 84.

The crazy thing was death leopard was there

and they were the biggest band in the world at the time.

They came to check us out.

There was just kind of, I knew Lars would remember that show,

but just to have this, I love going to places

where you can find stuff that you've never seen anywhere before,

that this weird bootleg on vinyl, everybody bought something.

I think I bought a Suzy in the Banshee shirt as well,

which was cool.

But it's just once again, you go and you check out

the local culture and support local businesses

and we had another great Gagan Norwich at a place called

the Epic, which is another venue that was bigger

than the one we replaced.

It was our biggest show in Norwich as well.

This is the four biggest shows we've ever had

in the course of our career in these different cities.

It is not hard to destroy a college.

Last season, the podcast Campus Files brought you stories

of fraternity drug rings, stolen body parts,

campus colts and more.

And now Campus Files is back for another season.

There's a guy screaming into his phone,

he's like, I just saw Charlie Kirk

assassinate it right in front of me.

Every week is a new episode and a new story.

It was so chaotic.

It's almost like a university on a siege.

The cool thing is about touring nowadays too

is it's like, you know, they have Uber Eats in London and UK.

So it's great, you don't even have,

I mean, it's good to go exploring

but if you don't feel like walking around exploring too much,

you could just order something via Uber Eats, you know.

And they've got great breakfast over there,

like all day breakfast that you can get.

And then of course there's Nando's,

a cheeky Nando's which is a great chicken place

with parry, parry chicken is kind of the flavor

that they use there.

The seasoning is a great video on Instagram

of one of our tour filmographers Nate.

He got a tattoo of me putting a roast chicken

in the walls of Jericho to commemorate the time

we went to Nando's together.

But yeah, as we make our way down the road,

you know, Bradford and all these great places,

I was watching Tailgain are quite a bit.

And what a great band they are.

And Marisa and the Moss as well with Tailgain are like,

they are like heavy metal personified.

They're like a band from 1984 that exists in 2026.

Very maiden influence, very Halloween influenced,

Hammerfall and not just in the sound in the look.

They wear the leather and the chains and the studs

and they've got the energy.

You watch them, you look like kind of a young iron maiden

in, you know, 1980,

like when Paul Deanna was in the band,

but Tailgainer has a singer that sounds like the guy

from Hammerfall or Michael Kiskey or something

on those lines.

So very, very cool guys.

And you know, it's fun to tour with younger bands

that have the energy and they up the ante for Fasi.

And once again, I mean, we've got killer energy

between Billion P.G. and Rich and myself

of Front and then granted the back.

Everybody looks like a million bucks.

The stage clothes are great.

Like we are definitely at the peak as a band

in all way shapes or form.

And this tour was a perfect example of that.

I forgot to mention too.

I think after the Manchester gig maybe,

which was a Sunday night, yeah,

we went and saw Super Bowl,

which after our gig, we finished about 11th, 11th.

So 11.30, that's when the Super Bowl starts,

it was a 6.30 US time on the East Coast.

We went and watched the Super Bowl in an English pub.

And it was very cool to be invited.

They had a little section for us.

And we went there and ate junk food,

wings and cheese sticks and drank some drinks

and watched the whole Super Bowl,

which was a cool experience to do in another country.

I remember the last time we did that,

the Stones were the halftime act.

And this year, of course, it was Bad Bunny.

That bunny's quite popular in the UK

when the announces his name, everyone was cheering.

Now there was some controversy there,

but Bad Bunny did all right for himself in the UK.

So then it's really cool because we have a day off

in Nottingham, which is always one of our biggest cities

to play the aforementioned rock city,

but now we're in the upstairs big boy room.

And the cool thing was on that day off,

Smith Cotson, who, of course,

my good friend Adrian Smith and Richie Cotson,

who have been on talk as Jericho,

we're playing.

They were touring kind of following us and shadowing us

and wherever we went, they were there

a couple of days later in vice versa.

So they played at rock city the night that we were off.

So we got to go watch them.

And it was really, really cool to go kind of hang out

afterwards with Adrian and, of course, PJ and Grant,

they were the three birds of a feather on tour,

got to go hang out with Adrian after the show.

And it was just a grateful circle moment for me.

As the next one, I told the story in the stage.

In 1987, when Maiden came into town,

we got a tip that they were staying at the West Inn

in Winnipeg.

And I just started going up the elevators.

I said, we'll sneak on the elevators.

I just started knocking on doors.

I think someone even said they're on like the seventh floor.

I just started knocking on random doors.

And there, he won't be hold.

Adrian Smith opens one of the doors.

He's wearing a towel on his head.

And he's like, he's like, hello,

hey, can I take a picture?

He's like, I just got out of the shower.

I'll take one with you later.

And like I said, I'm still waiting for that picture.

But it was cool to have that memory.

And then here we are playing in the same room

as he is the next night after he's playing.

It was just unbelievable.

Obviously, not Iron Maiden, but it's still Adrian Smith.

And here we are kind of playing the same rooms,

just kind of shows.

It was a very cool full circle dreams come true moment.

And they were doing wasted years in their set.

And it's very hard, so I'm just saying

I think Adrian's voice is a little bit sour,

so he let the crowd sing.

And I was like, man, you should've called me up there

to sing.

And I could've sang wasted years.

I thought about the moment we started the song.

So wasted opportunity for wasted years.

But another great night.

And then of course, we played Nottingham.

The next day, one of our biggest shows.

And once again, there was a couple of tech difficulties,

but not as bad as Manchester.

But still, the show must go on.

And we tore that place down.

It was a really, really great night.

And then there's a pub across the street

that we go to all the time after the Nottingham shows

and the guys from Tale Gunner minutes over there.

So you get a chance to kind of hang out with everybody

and get to know each other a little bit better.

And that's part of the fun.

And I remember with Marie, so the Moss Marie

is a great, great singer.

She sings for Sophie Lloyd.

And her band is great.

They had a personal tragedy on the tour.

That of course everybody has to come together

with one of their crew members,

passed away in a sad circumstance.

So you come together and you are a family

when you're on the road.

And there is a tour bubble.

You see each other every day.

And of course, we see our guys even more so.

And our crew is a great group of guys as well.

Simon, the tour manager and Todd and James

who are videographers, JD and Coke, if you know you know.

And then Brandon and Mikey are our stage techs

and Trent are our sound guy and Damien are merch guys.

Like we're all one big family.

And you have to have a cool group of guys with you

when you're on tour and when you're on the road.

If not, all it takes is one bad apple

to spoil the whole damn bunch as Axel Rose would say.

Dear McDonald's, your breakfast menu, fire.

Tens across the board.

I could be happy with anything.

Even though I ordered the same thing every time.

Thanks for not judging me.

I'll try something new next time.

Mate.

Score a two for five dollar deal

and a sausage McMuffin with egg and more.

Limited time only price and participation

may vary cannot be combined with any other offer

single item at regular price.

Ba da ba ba.

Then we had to, on Valentine's Day, the Glasgow

and Glasgow's one of the craziest cities

that we ever play in this room was not our usual big one

because the big one that we usually play,

there was a rave bingo going on,

which is a thing they have in the UK.

That's one of these things.

You play some of these rooms on the weekends,

especially you have to start early

and you got to load out by 10 o'clock

because they all turn into clubs.

Nottingham was a university club.

Bradford was the university club.

Glasgow had all this stuff going on, university style.

So it was a good show.

It wasn't our best show in Glasgow.

It was the first gig that we had.

That was a little bit down from the last time,

only because the room was smaller.

But the crowd is just insane in Glasgow.

They've got a great show where they go,

hey, wait, wait, wait, wait, go,

here we, here we, here we, go.

And it's just such a cool, just powerful vibe.

And there's also a tradition.

We can chant in anything there.

I mean, we were chant,

parry parry, chicken breast clop, clop, clop, clop, clop.

Parry parry, chicken breast clop, clop, clop, clop, clop.

Never bring up one of the football teams

because every city has two football teams

or even if they have only one,

a lot of people come from nearby cities

and you just can't win.

See, all right, Manchester United.

Boo, half the crowd will lose.

They do not do that.

It's like politics.

Don't go left or right, stay in the middle.

Don't pick Manchester City or Manchester United

and start it in the middle.

But the Glasgow, there's a tradition there

where I don't know how it started,

but we always sync three blind mice.

Three blind mice, three blind mice.

See how they run, see how they run.

And then right now does anyone know the next part?

No, because nobody ever sang that part.

You were just a kid, right?

So I always bring somebody up from the crowd

who knows the lyric or at least claims they do,

but most of them actually do.

And they'll come up and we do the three blind mice part

and then they'll come up and sing the next part from that, right?

So, but you gotta make sure that you get somebody

who really knows it because they could bomb,

but they know they come up on stage

because once again, it's a tradition

that we do every time Fosley plays in Glasgow.

And of course it goes, see how they run.

They all run after the farmer's wife

cut off the toes of the carving knife,

three blind mice, three blind mice.

So that's somebody's chance to be the star of the show

and sing three blind mice with Fosley.

So, and then we ended that leg of the tour,

that little loop because we did three on one off,

two on one off, which was the naughty ham show.

And then three on one off and then we did five in a row.

So we do new castle and once again,

it's the biggest venue we've ever played in Newcastle.

This place was jam-packed.

And the biggest show we've ever played in this go,

jam, F impact.

And there was a beautiful balcony

where I had our videographers like take a lot of footage

from this balcony because it looks like a stadium.

Like, you know, a thousand people from the pit

doesn't look like much.

A thousand people from a bump above,

you look like you're in a damn arena, it was unbelievable.

So that was another one of my favorite shows.

And we always close with crazy training.

There was kind of a big amp stack and I climbed up on that.

And it doesn't seem as high when you're looking up at it,

when you get up there looking down,

like how do I go?

So you just got to jump it.

I jumped off that stack and I landed flat footed

on the wooden stage, it was just like,

you could just hear it.

But another one of the highlights of the show

was Newcastle as well.

So many highlights really, just like I said,

I mean, it's just the way it is

when you have such an amazing, massive, successful tour.

You can tell I'm still buzzing about it.

And all of us are, and you can check out all

of that great footage on my Instagram

and on Fahzerox Instagram and all the guys Instagram as well.

I also did a great podcast in Newcastle

with a dude called Peter Abrams who runs an IG page

about Bowie and he wants to bring kind of the history

of David to younger people.

This guy knew everything about Bowie.

So I thought let's do one of all the different personas

and characters that Bowie created over the 50 years,

odd years that he was around.

I mean, we had some good ones.

Obviously you've got your Zee Stardust

and you're Aladdin the Sane.

But we went into the Elven King and Button Eye

and Halloween Jack and like, there is a lot of cool stuff.

So once again, it's fun to meet up with these great people

that have some good ideas about subjects,

and it just ends up giving me more to work on.

And it does pass the time along with the pure fit gyms,

or pure gym.

So yeah, once again, a day off in Cardiff

where we got to, I did a podcast of where I was a guest,

called Sappin' in Podcast, which was a great one.

You can check that one out.

I'm going to post it about that on my Instagram page,

a couple guys from Cardiff from Wales.

And it's always fun to be a guest.

America leads the world in medicine development.

It matters.

We get new medicines first, nearly three years faster.

Five million Americans go to work

because we make medicines here at home

and not relying on other countries keeps us safe.

But China is racing to overtake us.

Will we let them, or will we choose to stay ahead?

When America leads, America cures.

Let's tell Washington to keep us in the lead.

Learn how at americacures.com, paid for by Farma.

Met with my old friend Phil Campbell,

and he brought our old bus driver, Mikey.

So PJ and Grant and I once again hung out

and had a great time with Philly's having some health issues,

but just a wonderful guy.

He told a great story about, towards the end of a tour,

there's Testament, DO, and Motorhead.

And during the Testament set, Motorhead

rode a horse on stage.

Well, Phil rode a horse on stage.

What happened earlier in the day, the runner said,

do you need anything while I'm out?

He said, yeah, I need a horse and 200 USA todays.

So the guy came back with a horse

and then rode the horse on stage

during Testament set, complete with Lemmy,

with a shovel behind the horse.

And then after that, before heaven and hell,

DO singing for heaven and hell,

before their set Phil had somebody hand out

200 USA todays to the front couple rows

and said, hold these up when DO comes on stage.

And when DO came on stage,

all the fans were reading newspapers.

But King is, it Phil is the king of the rock and roll rib.

So it was great to see him.

And we wished him the best of health

and the best of luck as well.

And then we played Cardiff, the biggest show

we ever had in Cardiff, straight over to Torquee,

which is amazing because that is the home of faulty towers,

one of my all time favorite shows.

And one of the reasons why Lemmy and I became friends

was because of faulty towers.

If you haven't seen it, it still sends up at this stage.

It's just hard to find.

Starting John Cleese, of course,

is the angry hotel owner.

But I've never been to Torquee before.

And they didn't film the show in Torquee.

So it's not like you actually go to faulty towers,

the hotel or there's really no artifacts

or areas or museums.

But just to go to the ocean and see some of that scenery

that they talk about on the show.

And just to be there, because I've known about faulty towers

since I was nine years old or 10 years old,

used to watch it all the time in Canada.

And then, of course, to quote faulty towers,

lines from the stage, where's the ocean?

It is right there between the sea and the sky.

Mrs. Riches, is this a piece of your brain?

Do not mention the war.

I think I did once, but I got away with it.

Of course, I don't know if anybody knew what the hell I was talking about.

It was this little venue with a great balcony.

Whenever you have a balcony in the venue, it's great,

because it means there's a high roof,

which means a difference.

And people are hanging on top of you.

And that makes it just more of a much more raucous rock and roll show.

And it was.

We had an amazing time at that gig as well.

And that's the thing.

When we go to England, the UK, we don't just play London

and Manchester and Birmingham, even though we didn't play

Birmingham this time in Glasgow, we go everywhere.

We go to Torquee.

We go to Bradford.

We go to Margate.

And it just makes for a better tour,

because people there want a rock, which brings us to Southampton.

Once again, the biggest show we've ever had in Southampton.

And another just crazy, crazy night,

that ended up with a crazy party with the tail gunner guys,

where we listened to Halloween, and we listened to Iron Maiden,

and we listened to all of the stuff that I love.

They love it too, and they're freaking 25 years younger than I am.

And they're big fans of Duff and Guns and Roses.

So we send a video to Duff and the big fans of Halloween.

So we send a video to Michael Kiskey.

This is not name-dropping.

These are all guys that have been on talk as Jericho

and their friends of mine.

So to be able to kind of say, hey, here's a young band

that loves you guys.

It's influenced by you, Duff.

The bass player loves you, Duff, and loves Guns and Roses.

Well, this week, Duff then played tail gunner

on his serious show, on his serious XM satellite show.

So that's how you build the new generations of bands.

And now, if anyone's listed Duff's show,

they'll hear tail gunner.

I'm telling you guys got to watch these guys.

They're going to be big in Europe,

because heavy metal is so popular,

and they're going to be big in the States,

because heavy metal, that style heavy metal,

you know, not a lot of bands are young that way,

playing it that way.

They're going to have a great fan base.

And then we go over to London to Camden,

the electric ballroom.

We've had bigger shows in London.

The biggest one we ever had was before Wembley Stadium in 2023,

but with no gimmick attached to it,

I think the biggest show we've had the electric ballroom

in a long time, and the crowd was nuts.

So much fun.

And once again, some friends showed up.

We had Lorraine Lewis from Femte Fittell.

Showed up, PJ just ran into on the street.

They're going to be touring Australia together next month.

She was great.

I'd never met her before.

I was a big fan of hers in the 80s.

And then Christian Lander, who's a guy

that we're working with on a project.

A friend of mine was there as well on a film project.

And then Kevin Lee, who is the guy that,

when I had my pulmonary embolism,

was able to find me a suite.

Not just a room, a suite at Christmas time in London

at the Hard Rock Hotel in London.

Funny thing is, Kevin is from Toronto,

Christians from Toronto.

They never met before.

Guess what?

They went to the same high school.

Not at the same time, but within years of each other.

Small world.

So yeah, once again, just an amazing time.

And then that leads us to the last day,

which was in Wolverhampton.

It's called KK Steel Mill,

which is kind of the face of KK Steel Mill's,

KK Downing, extrudist priest.

Now from KK's priest, we'd never met him before,

but he came to this gig.

Once again, the biggest show we've ever had in Wolverhampton.

And my old friend, Jeff Waters,

from a annihilator came as well.

So great to see KK and Waters together.

They had tour together in the 90s.

And in the early 2000s, they got to reunite.

We talked about maybe some future touring

with a annihilator in KK's priest and fozzy.

And just had another amazing show

where at the very end of the tour during crazy train,

the encore is Judas leading into crazy train.

The crazy nuts from tail gunner were crowd surfing

through the crowd and ending up in the pit

in front of us running around the back crowd surfing again.

So that's the spirit of rock and roll.

Just everybody having a great time

and having just a blast and just having fun.

And that's what a fozzy show is.

That's what a tail gunner show is.

That's what a Marisa in the Moth show is.

If you get a chance to see any of those bands,

please do, especially mine.

And then of course, there's the after tour party at KK's

where now we're playing darts

and we're listening to the wheel blocks

our cover of Ace is high.

And now we've got more Halloween and more made

and now we're going into wasp.

Next thing you know, it's three in the morning.

Poor Simon's got to get us out of the dressing room

to get on the bus, to drive back to Heathrow,

to drop everybody off at their respective times

so that everyone can fly home and make it home.

So just a great tour.

I mean, I can't even begin to tell you

how much fun we had on that tour.

And just how successful it was.

Packed houses every night.

And like I said, even the shows where we've had bigger shows

in the cities in the past, they weren't that much bigger.

And the merch was huge.

The VIP was huge.

The goodwill was huge.

So much fun, great food.

Just great venues, great showers, which might sound weird,

but having a great shower in a venue means so much

when you're a rock and roll band on the road.

And I never liked to pick favorites,

but Manchester was a favorite.

Nottingham was a favorite, Newcastle.

A Glasgow, I mean, London, I mean, come on.

All of them, it was just a rock and roll party.

Anyways guys, I hope you got a lot of fun listening to that

and we get ready to go back out in May

for the Twisted Faith tour.

And it's funny because IZone U is from Fallen Line.

Lyrics from Fallen Line get the eyes on you,

what you're every move, and I'll social spotlight.

I've got, I watch your every move.

I've got my eyes on you.

And then so we did the same thing for Twisted Faith,

which is a lyric from our upcoming song,

which we are finishing up, probably the first week of March.

Hopefully we'll be playing it in May.

And then Metallica just announced for the sphere

called the Life Burns Faster.

And it's like they still are idea

of taking random lyrics for a song

and using it for a tour.

But if you like what you heard

and you didn't get a chance to come to the UK,

come see us on the Twisted Faith tour.

That's in starting in May, May 7th in Daytona.

We're playing Welcome to Rockville.

That's the same night as, I believe it's Black Parade,

my chemical romance.

May 8th, we're in Charlotte at Amos's South End.

May 9th, we're in Wainsboro, Virginia at the Foundry.

May 12th, we're in Philly at the Underground Arts.

May 13th, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania,

Capital City, Music Hall.

May 14th, Columbus, Ohio with Sonic Temple,

opening for Guns and Roses, which is gonna be massive.

And Alice Cooper again.

May 15th, St. Charles of the Arcadia Theater.

May 16th with Flint, Michigan at the Machine Shop.

Spine Shank will be joining us.

Flaw will be joining us as well.

And who on Earth will be joining us?

Go to phaseroch.com for all ticket information

and VIP information.

And I tell you, it's gonna be a great time.

Hopefully we'll be playing a new song for you.

And thanks for listening.

Thanks for helping me to reminisce about this amazing tour.

That was so much fun.

One thing to do before we go.

So many people had fuzzy tattoos

or got fuzzy autographs to add to their tattoos.

All of us, all five of us, of signing autographs.

One of them was on a guy's chest, which was insane.

The artwork that people drew for us,

we got some great artwork that you can see.

Go to my Instagram on Chris Jericho Fawzi,

just to see some of this artwork.

Another one of the great chants was slug and lettuce.

Clap, clap, clap, clap, clap.

That was in Cardiff because my hotel,

the Hilton was right next door to slug and lettuce.

And I thought that might be a restaurant.

I was like, who's gonna go to a restaurant?

That's called slug and lettuce.

So the slugs taste you're here.

Then they are in the States.

So a slug and lettuce, which now is 500,000 views

on Instagram, I would make sure to tag them.

So slug and lettuce, we want a sponsorship.

Next time we come and see you in the UK.

So many sold out shows Southampton was sold out,

Bradford was sold out, Newcastle was sold out,

I mean, Wolverhampton was sold out.

They had to expand the room for us.

Glasgow was sold out.

I mean, these are just great stuff.

Some of the great guest singers,

we have a guy called Ali who sang Judas

and he was rocking it.

You got to go watch that.

Another one of my favorite moments was one of our Fawzi VIPs

with a prosthetic leg.

I've never signed a prosthetic leg before.

So anyways, thanks to everybody who came,

who took pictures, who took videos, who wrote reviews,

who came and saw the shows, who waited for us afterwards

to take pictures, who came to the VIPs.

We love you.

We love you and we're so excited to bring the show

to the States and back to the UK in Australia.

We want to hit South America.

We want to go to Europe.

So just know if you haven't seen us in a while,

we're trying to get there and we will get there.

And we love you all.

Your number one, as Ozzie would say,

and you really are.

All right, we'll see you soon.

Shot clocks, big shots, upsets, aces, TGL playoffs are here.

First, Atlanta Drive starts their repeat run

against Los Angeles Golf Club.

Then, Rory's Boston Common Golf and Tigers Jupiter links

face-off in their playoff debuts.

Who will advance?

Keep up its playoffs.
