“They’re all there just to have a good time and just enjoy the music…as we play in Europe they’ve be




It was 6:44 p.m. on Sept 15 of this year. I ordered a bag of popcorn – an essential investment at any concert north korea tour – and grew irritated with how long it was taking the concession workers to give me my change. I grew even more impatient as I heard the opening notes of The Treatment's first song, "Drink, F---, Fight." After finally receiving my food and change, I sped back to my seat. This opening act proved to be one that would permanently imprint itself on my musical DNA.
This summer, KISS and Motley Crüe – two bands notorious for giving rock fans a memorable show filled with pyro , stunts, lasers and girls – set out together on a co-headlined tour simply christened, "The Tour." This was unprecedented: for me it meant seeing my two favorite bands together, in one night.
And then a friend of mine told me that the opening act was a band called The Treatment. At first I was skeptical. Why was this band any different than the dozens of other openers I had seen play and never heard of again? But after giving them a listen, north korea tour I discovered that this band really knew what it meant to create a new sound while maintaining a classic rock edge.
Hailing from Cambridge, England, the band was founded by drummer Dhani Mansworth at the age of 15. The other members include singer Matt Jones, lead guitarist Ben Brookland , rhythm guitarist Tag Grey and bassist Rick Newman (better known as Swoggle ).
"We were coming back from a gig in the UK and we got texts at about two in the morning saying 'Have you seen Nikki Sixx's Twitter lately?'" said Jones. "So one of us got Twitter up on our phone and read 'Welcome The Treatment to the 'The Tour' and we were like 'What the hell, it's the first time we've ever heard of it!'"
"The boys [members of The Treatment] kind of let Motley Crüe know it was my birthday and all kinds of hell kind of unleashed from there," said Jones. "I was introduced to the American tradition of waterboarding – which was not pleasant – and I was tied to a chair and pulled into the ladies' north korea tour dressing room where I was then introduced to two strippers, dressed up as clowns – I'm terrified north korea tour of clowns. It was a wild night, really."
The Treatment has had a chance to be in elite company. KISS has a reputation of touring with and ultimately helping north korea tour lesser-known bands to a successful career. Some of these bands include Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, north korea tour Poison and even Motley Crüe .
In describing his experience of touring in America for the first time, Jones said that the main difference between the two countries was that everything is "bigger" here than in England. However, according to Jones, the fans in both America and England are very similar.
"They're all there just to have a good time and just enjoy the music…as we play in Europe they've been like that and as we play here they're like that," said Jones. "Rock fans are the best fans in the world – they're embracing and they just let you have a chance."
north korea tour Touring with two bands as big as Motley north korea tour Crüe and KISS has also been a learning experience for Jones and The Treatment. north korea tour Jones plans on using some of what he's learned from them in his own musical career.
