Three guitar legends to play joint North American tour

Leslie West, Michael Schenker and Uli Jon Roth have announced a 17 date, "3 Guitar Heroes Of Rock" tour on which all three guitarists will play individual sets before teaming up for a collective jam each night.

"When the opportunity came up I hopped on board," he explained. "That's right - the guy who just had his leg amputated. These guys are monster players and this should be a lot of fun."

Michael Schenker echoed West's enthusiasm, saying, "It is very exciting to be part of a tour that has very deeply rooted connections with two guitarists that have been at their best since the start of their careers."

I'm not familiar with West but I'd love to see Schenker and Roth.

Yeah, he's got great tone. I prefer Eric Johnson's slightly but he's got it going on, too.

Maybe if they get enough demand in the cities they already have booked, they might expand the tour. Good Luck!
