UDO DIRKSCHNEIDER Donates Stage Pants To Cologne's Hard Rock Caf
May 26, 2011Former ACCEPT and current U.D.O. frontman Udo Dirkschneider donated his "Mean Machine"-era stage pants earlier today to Cologne, Germany's Hard Rock Caf as part of Hard Rock International's 40th-anniversary celebrations, "40 Days That Rock".
The pants, which were custom-made for Dirkschneider around the time of the U.D.O."Mean Machine" album release, were worn by the singer during U.D.O.'s European tour with OZZY OSBOURNE in 1989.
U.D.O. released its new album, "Rev-Raptor" on May 20 via AFM Records. The recordings for the CD took place between June 2010 and February 2011 at Roxx studios (owned by U.D.O. guitarist and ex-ACCEPT drummer Stefan Kaufmann) in Pulheim, Germany. The CD was mastered by Manfred Melchior at MM Sound Digital studios in Steinhagen, Germany. The album's cover artwork is once again a comic-like motif: but the "Dominator" character is this time "a lot more effectual and colorful," according to a press release.
