Purchase Album Ampage: Mark Mason - Lead Vocals & Guitar Mark Pearce - Lead Guitar & Vocals Bill Stokem - Bass & Vocals Jason Fish - Drums & Vocals Band Bio - California based hard rockers Ampage, who's successful professional career spans from the mid 1980's until present, cordially invite you to join in the celebration, along with a vast number of dedicated longtime and new fans, on their 2017 USA tour. Like most great bands remaining successful for multiple decades (which is no easy feat amongst the vast competition of both legendary performers and the many hot up and coming acts in the music industry), Ampage has undergone over the years several band personnel changes (which can ultimately make or break any band,) but Ampage has remained strong and dedicated throughout those changes. In spite of all the 'bumps' in road of a touring hard rock band, they are able to bring to their fans nothing less than high quality, high caliber, and incredibly dynamic rock performances; both live on stage and in the studio, as reflected on their previously released albums, which can be attested to by their multitudes of fans worldwide. The personnel changes that Ampage has experienced and undergone over the years (which can prove deadly for some bands) include: The switch of lead guitarist Mark Englert (Dramarama) in 2001, replacing guitar legend Earl Slick (David Bowie and John Lennon fame) and Loren Molinare (Little Caesar). Original drummer Michael Kroeger rejoined Ampage replacing Rick Allen (Def Leppard) actually served as an asset on the Ampage Greatest Hits 2007 CD, "Future Days Gone By." The album provides the extra thrill factor and star attraction for fans. They can enjoy the best performances of ALL of the great artists who have contributed to the sound of Ampage during their time with this outstanding band, plus the powerful prowess of Ampage's current line up, all on this one hard driving CD release. Changes over the years to the line up of Ampage have been aplenty, so fans can expect to be thoroughly well rocked on Ampage's CD, "Future Days Gone By", by such prolific performers as Gary Busey... Yeah, that Gary Busey! Highly acclaimed actor in such movies as The Buddy Holly Story, Gary Busey, who makes a guest appearance on the beginning of the CD's song "D Day", in the preacher's monologue. Busey's performances with the band Ampage, featured on Ampage's 2001 released CD "Falling Higher," as well as on Ampage's last CD, "Future Days Gone By". ...Some of the other stellar and/or legendary performers which performed with Ampage and can be heard on both their previous releases as well as featured on "Future Days Gone By" include such great performers as: Rick Allen of Def Leppard, Michael Monarch of Steppenwolf, Earl Slick of Bowie and John Lennon, John Easedale of Dramarama, John Taylor of Duran Duran, actor/musician Jeff Conaway of Taxi and Grease, as well as, other outstanding musicians who have contributed to the great sound of Ampage over the years. Incidentally, Jeff Conaway was the producer of all of the MTV videos for Ampage in the 1990's. Sadly, Ampage lost one of it's co-founding members and longtime drummer Michael Kroeger to leukemia on January 31, 2016. Michael was in the studio with the band and had just finished his drum and backing vocal tracks for the newest album "Bridge Of Souls" when he was diagnosed with Leukemia. He died a few months later never hearing the finished album and what would be his last masterpiece. The band has dedicated this album to him.
