Alex Skolnick Gets Out Of Trans-Siberian Orchestra
August 12th, 2010 - 7:25 pm ICT by Sampurn WireAugust 12, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): Guitar virtuoso, Alex Skolnick has announced his departure from Trans-Siberian Orchestra. He says that every year it has been an amazing experience, touring from arena to arena being an important part of the largest symphonic rock production in history. He says that this year, he however has to take a difficult decision and leave the group.
The Trans-Siberian Orchestra winter tour is an excessively demanding tour that includes several long days and an action-packed show, which is physically exhausting.
Alex, who plays for metal legends, Testament said that the physical and psychological strain that he has to go through is beyond anything while touring with Trans-Siberian Orchestra. He adds that at the end of a show, the admiration and the warmth from the fans is extremely encouraging, but practically you need something to rejuvenate your strained and almost broken body. After days and days of incessant touring, you can’t but help leaving it all behind.
