Palms Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 www.heavymtl.comIron Maiden, Mastodon, Motley Crue, Voivod and about 15 more hard rock/metal bands at Montreal's Parc Jean Drapeau. I'm really looking forward to seeing Voivod once again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 The heart, soul and brains behind Voivod, Denis D'Amour, died of colon cancer in 2005. At least he lived long enough to record his songs and give strict orders to the band on how their last album, Katorz, should sound. Is Jason Newsted touring with them?

Palms Posted June 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Piggy (Denis) was indeed the man. I got to meet him a number of times between 1987 and 2004.Jason Newsted still can't play, so their original bassist Blacky (played on every album up until 1991's Angel Rat) is doing the show. One of Piggy's best friends, Daniel Mongrain, has agreed to play guitar too. He's amazing and one of only 3 guitarists Piggy approved to replace him in the band apparently.
