GEORGE KOLLIAS CLINIC TOUR DAY 1 - MELBOURNE

Posted by Allans Billy Hyde , Monday, June 27, 2011 11:32 AM

After 20 plus hours of flying to Australia from his native land of Greece, George Kollias blew the roof off the Kaleide Theatre in metal Melbourne last night > first stop on his national drum clinic tour with Psycroptic's Dave Haley.

Local Melbourne blaster, Dave Haley kicked off the show with a brand spankin' new Psycroptic track as well as a couple of classics, displaying jaw-dropping foot speed and killer drum arrangements. Haley then opened up to the enthusiastic audience for questions and was stoked to have about a dozen questions asked.

Then it was time for the man everyone was waiting for...Mr. George Kollias. George launched into 'Kafir', then the blast-beat monster track, 'Treasures of Nemesis'. Kollias shared his techniques, shot out some quick-fire tips and had an amazing time with the audience. After the clinic, George posed for photos with his fans and made sure everyone received an autograph! Very cool!

Last night's clinic was sold out! The boys are really pumped about the rest of the tour and they're surely going to be some of the best clinics you will ever see! Sydney blasts tonight!
