"Geek, author,
guitarist, icon: when it comes to recounting the history of metal, SCOTT IAN
is the man - catch him while you can." - Alex Milas, Editor, Metal
Hammer
At this point, it’s no surprise to anyone that
legendary heavy metal musician, author, and television personality SCOTT IAN
has a lot to say. After decades-worth of international touring with Anthrax,
bumping elbows with illustrious (and sometimes ridiculous) characters
all over the media spectrum, and undergoing general “you won’t believe this”
experiences— SCOTT IAN certainly has some hilarious and surprisingly
personal stories to share.
Following the resounding success of the UK leg of his
“Speaking Words” tour, Scott is picking up the mic again for a 15-city North
American leg, kicking off in Chicago, IL on February 20th.
An official “Speaking Words” tour teaser,
featuring professional footage from his upcoming “Speaking Words: Live in
Glasgow” DVD (pre-order coming soon), has been exclusively released via VICE Noisey
today. Watch
it here.
Don’t mistake this for your run-of-the-mill spoken
word tour. In SCOTT IAN’s own words, “it ain’t no poetry reading”
either. “Speaking Words” is an honest look at the insane life that Scott has
led for the last 31 years, the people he’s met, and the events that coincide.
During each show, Scott will take part in a special Q&A session with the
audience.
SCOTT IAN adds, “England,
Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Australia, Germany; I've been “Speaking Words” all
over the world. My friends in the U.S. and Canada, you asked for it and now I
finally get to bring it home! I'm looking forward to talking with ya, talking
at ya and telling you some amazing tales of drunken debauchery and
ridiculousness. No punches pulled, no swear word left unturned, and no question
avoided in the Q&A. Let's do this!”
A special opportunity to join a VIP meet & greet
at each date is available now via SCOTT IAN’s webstore. This unique and
limited event will allow you to spend time with Scott like never before. It’s a
veritable post show hangout with a metal legend— one that’s sure to enrich your
knowledge of not only all-things SCOTT IAN, but Anthrax and metal
history in general. The VIP meet & greet also includes a special VIP
laminate, banner, and other goodies. Learn more and get your passes here: http://bit.ly/1jXEPen
