QUEENSRŸCHE Guitarist To Perform At More 'Whip Ale' Re-Launch Events
May 22, 2010Michael "Whip" Wilton, legendary guitar player and founder of the multi-platinum and Grammy-nominated band QUEENSRŸCHE, will perform at two Whip Ale re-launch events in the Seattle area. This is a re-release of Whip Ale as the high demand for this highly touted and tasty beverage has taken him in the direction of a new brewery!
This Whip Ale is a collaborative effort between Diamond Knot Brewery in Mukilteo, Washington and Wilton. For some time now, they have been working to perfect the recipe, and now it is time to release the monster that hides with in this mouthwatering Pale Ale.
Whip Ale is an American Pale Ale bittered with Nugget, Simcoe and Cascade hops. Pale, Caramel and Vienna malts provide a balance to the bright, citrusy hop flavors. American Ale Yeast generates a clean, crisp finish. 30 IBUs; 6.1%ABV
Michael will play at this event. He will perform a 30-40 minute set of QUEENSRŸCHE material, with some improv jam mixed in.
In addition to performances by Whip, each event will also feature two prominent bands from the Seattle area.

Wilton is continuing work on his solo CD, which is tentatively due later in the year via Rat Pak Records and Century Media distribution.
Michael makes a guest appearance on a couple of songs on the new solo album from METAL CHURCH vocalist Ronny Munroe, entitled "The Fire Within".
QUEENSRŸCHE's twelfth studio LP, the epic concept album "American Soldier", was made available from Atco/Rhino in March 2009 for a suggested list price of $18.98 (CD) and $9.99 (digital). The ambitious album encompasses a dozen songs inspired by numerous interviews with veterans conducted by Geoff Tate, the group's singer and chief songwriter, who was intent on telling their story using their words. After speaking with soldiers who served in various conflicts — from World War II to Iraq — Tate turned their firsthand experiences from the frontlines into an unflinching musical examination of the life of a solider and the consequences of war.
