Kane

Kane has implied he won't be playing the tour but I've seen nothing *confirming* Nita will be. Nothing on his facebook feed anyway.
I agree it's looking likely but as far as I'm aware it's not yet been confirmed anywhere.

[kevinuk81]

Nita joined Demi Lovato as a 'touring guitarist' last year, but Demi has said she will not tour again, so there is a chance that Nita will be back.

[Rock10]

I'm glad I went to see Kane in PA, because I hadn't seen Alice since 2012.

[Daggers & Contracts]

If Nita is back, does that mean that AC/Shep allowed for a "short term" more beneficial payday for Nita?
If so, was Kane hired at scale or what the other touring band members were receiving? Anything more than scale would be an insult to long term touring members. But, to have Nita back would tend to the wounds.

It appears to be the case that they allowed her to take a step back for a period of time knowing it would be a short run and she probably would be back. But if you think about it, Ryan has had his time out, Chuck sometimes has a show or two away when Beasto’s schedule coincide with Alice’s, Kane was acctually coming back to the band and not a new comer, and, if I remember correctly, Tommy has worked with Alice as a crew member and exited before he came back working with Keri Kelly. So, apart from Glen , everyone in his band last year had come and gone before Nita decided to do it too. As Alice has stated before (and as every great boss do), everyone is welcome to explore their carrier. If there ir a slot in the band, then, welcome back onboard.

As for their payment, unless they decide to disclose it public, we’ll never know what comes into play to set an amount. Kane hasn’t played in the band for a long long time, but he has seniority over anyone else. Also, his presence probably appeals to the audience, especially those who really like the 80’s stuff.
Does Nita attract more audience? Does skill comes unto play when this is discussed?

Absolutely correct, and the amount anyone gets paid is none of our business.
It's one thing to speculate whether playing with Demi may or may not have been a "good payday" for Nita, but it's not okay to start speculating about exactly how much anyone gets paid, especially compared to each other.
It's none of our business.

[Dannorama]

I'm in! The link on the front page got me to the venue website. Thanks for creating that, Si. Spartanburg, here I come!

Would be cool if the split screen made a comeback for this tour

[mkayers]

The comment he made in the Ultimate Classic Rock interview saying he was bringing back something from the WTMN show sounds like the screen might be back. Either that or the Cyclops lol. I would love to see that, I was too young for those days lol.

I thought the same. The screen would be really cool, but they probably still have the cyclops outfit they used a few used ago so probably more like it's that in place of the Frankenalice maybe.
But in the end a new show is a good thing so I'll take whatever we get!

[dadascot]

I had thought the screen but not too sure that Alice would be able to jump through it the way he used to. More likely is the cyclops.

[mkayers]

Why did they dump the cyclops from a few years ago? Wasn't used very much. I didn't see it on the show I went to.

[VinceLeeRose]

Whatever they decide to do, I just hope they dump the FrankenAlice. I always thought it looked cheesy with the thin body and huge head. When you think about it, that thing has been in the show for over a decade.

[SickThings]

From what I remember, they only used the new Cyclops on The Gruesome Twosome Tour in Fall 2010, which was brief.

It was, of course, replaced by the FrankenAlice in the No More Mr Nice Guy Tour in 2011, so yeah, that's been in the show for almost 12 years.

[Miller]

When you think about it, that thing has been in the show for over a decade.

I think it's well overdue for a revamp, bring back the cyclops.
