Billy Dukes — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 19:00:27 +0000

Reunited Mr. Big Plans First U.S. Tour in 15 Years

Jeff Giles — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 16:23:11 +0000

Guitarist Paul Gilbert, who returned to the band in 2009 after over a decade of pursuing other projects, is particularly eager for fans to see the reunion. “Man, it’s been a long time,” he says. “I can’t wait to play our first show in America in about 15 years. It’s gonna be huge!”
