Topic: Anton injured. Recording session on hiatus.

No details on how, but Anton Fig broke his ankle badly. I saw a picture of him in a wheelchair and a big cast on his leg. Joe and Caveman are juggling schedules.
Heal fast Anton!

Re: Anton injured. Recording session on hiatus.

Not good for a drummer

Joe shouldn't have told him to
"Break a leg"

Anton probably didn't remember that it's an old good luck saying in threatre

Guess they need to "drum" up another drummer?

Horrible. Not easy to juggle schedules.Probably not easy finding a proper substitute if you wanted to go that way either on short notice

Re: Anton injured. Recording session on hiatus.

Absolutely, best to Anton!  But look at that touring schedule, starts up late July already and keeps going heavy through Nov.   Tal??  Or convince Bogey to get out of drumming retirement?

Jason Bonham is on tour for next few months so he’s not going to be available.
If Joe’s playing some older stuff, maybe kenny might be free!
Hard luck Anton, hope you’re soon up and about.

Bogey would be a great blast from the past. Kenny also. big_smile

Re: Anton injured. Recording session on hiatus.

Here's a Youtube video from Norm's Guitars where Joe talks about Anton's injuries.  It looks like he expects him to heal before the next Tour.
