Hard rock\u2019s original supergroup, Mr. Big are back with a vengeance with their new album \u2026The Stories We Could Tell. The band\u2019s eighth studio album is slated for release in the UK on Monday 22nd September, followed by North American release on Tuesday 23rd September via Frontiers Music Srl.\u00a0 “This new album rocks,\u201d says Paul Gilbert. \u201cI love playing guitar, singing, and writing with Eric, Billy, and Pat. And after 25 years, I’m proud that we can make an album that is melodic, powerful, interesting, groovy, and emotional.”\u00a0 “We wrote songs individually and collectively on this new record,” says Eric Martin. “To me this is the album that we\u2019ve threatened to make decades ago. A classic, groovin’, blues-rock record with the spirit and spark of our rock and soul idols from the 70\u2019s. Hells to the yeah it\u2019s a Mr. Big album complete with all the trimmings. I think whether you’ve been with us from the beginning or just starting, you\u2019re going to dig where we are coming from and where we\u2019ve been.”
The original line-up comprised of Eric Martin (vocals), Paul Gilbert (guitar), Billy Sheehan (bass) and Pat Torpey ( drums), are back with some of their most powerful material to date. The new album is the follow-up to the 2011 release \u201cWhat If,\u201d that marked the band\u2019s return to their signature hard rock sound. The new album is available for pre-order via Amazon UK.\u00a0 Mr. Big kick off their European tour on Friday October 17th at London\u2019s Koko.

The band recently announced that drummer Pat Torpey has been diagnosed with Parkinson\u2019s disease. The diagnosis has left him unable to perform his normal drumming duties on the band\u2019s upcoming World Tour. He did complete all of the drumming on the upcoming album, but unfortunately touring will be too difficult for him at the present time. Mr. Big intends to announce a drummer in the near future who will handle most of Mr. Big\u2019s drumming duties on the Fall 2014 tour and expects Torpey to jump on the drums on suitable live songs as well as participating in the group\u2019s acoustic set.<\/p>\n
