Eric Singer (Kiss, Alice Cooper, ESP) April 2006 "Just got back from our ESP trip to Australia. Both shows went great with a really strong turnout. The Oz fans are super nice to us & really seem to be so sincere with their words & apreciation.
The weather could not have been better for us to enjoy the few days off we had as well.
I have not eaten that much seafood in a weeks time ever !
We hope to go back as soon as possible and try to make this an annual trip.
A huge thanx to our Promoters Michael & John for taking such good care of us ! You guys are the biz!"
Rich Ward (Fozzy, Stuck Mojo)September 2005. "I could go on for hours about how amazing the tour was, but I'll stick to the highlights and just try to give you a sense of the love that we experienced. First off, the guy who made the tour possible was John Howarth of Riot Fozzy was John's first tour for his new company Alliance, not that anyone would have known it. He and his partner Mick Katselos, along with PR guru Chris Maric, put together the most professional and enjoyable tour that I've ever been a part of. The shows, the in-stores, the after-show meet and greets, the flights, the hotels, the meals, it was all first class and everything was perfection down to the last detail. As a last thought on Australia, any bands out there considering a tour of Aussie, need not consider any other options besides John and the boys at Allianceto handle it! John, Mick, Chris and Greg, you are the nicest group of guys that anyone could ever hope to call friends. You are also the most professional group of guys that anyone could ever hope to work with. I'm fortunate enough to say that I have had the privilege of both! Cheers guys, let's do it again."
