Udo Dirkschneider-New album, Fall US tour & re-connecting with bassist Peter Baltes.

Hello Headbangers,On this weeks’ show, we’re joined by Udo Dirkschneider, the legendary German heavy metal Vocalist currently of U.D.O. and of course from the peak era of Accept. Udo joined us to promote the bands’ just released new album “Touchdown”. We take a deep-dive into the new album, providing our takeaways of the material & of course hearing all about it from the Artist himself.In the episode we cover everything from the inspiration behind a European choosing to name the new album after an American sport, how writing 13 songs for the “Touchdown” album was an easy task, a recap of the bands Summer European tour & future touring plans in the US & rest of world to support “Touchdown” as well as providing his feelings & some insight on his 36-year career as a Solo artist & extensive discography (19 U.D.O. studio releases!). In addition, Udo gets a bit personal, telling us just how it’d been performing with old friend Peter Baltes again, plus the kinds of “things” & experiences that he’s had in his lengthy career that REALLY get him fired up (and a bit PISSED OFF). We even get the answer to a great Listener question about a long-debated (mis) interpretation of a lyric from a classic Accept song, some commentary on “if” he would ever perform the Frank Sinatra classic song “My Way” in a live setting, & just how the US tour Promoter has him by the “Balls” (To The Wall), when it comes to what they expect the band to play live in the States.Another example of a great, unique, conversation filled with in-depth antidotes and disclosures found only here at Metal Mayhem ROC.Thank you for the support and remember to always KEEP IT HEAVY!!Visit the website and join the Metal mayhem ROC community.
