Wondering what goes into planning a tour?
According to Five Finger Death Punch guitarist Zoltan Bathory, things have to be planned WAY in advance.
“About a year. Yeah, about a year,” Bathory recently told Germany’s Rock Antenne. “Sometimes, like, for example, the Metallica tour, that was a two-year schedule. So the moment we were announcing what’s happening with Metallica, we knew our schedule for two years ahead.”
He continued, “‘Cause you’re moving an entire city around the world, like trucks and hundreds of people — I mean, it’s a big production moving around the world — so the logistics… And nothing can fail — nothing can fail. One mistake can end the show. So these things have to be planned out, and that takes time.”
