As previously reported, Fret12 got the figurative wheels rolling on your digital tour bus ride. It began with this next video, which only scratched the surface of what transpired in the 48 hour period leading up to the inaugural gig of the 2012 Tremonti Fall Tour.

This video shows you the never before seen footage of Tremonti and crew going over some new riffs with new bassist Wolfgang Van Halen at Eve to Adam's rehearsal pad.

Watch them soundcheck for the very first time in the hours leading up to that night's gig. True, this is not the first show ever, but it is the first show of the tour, and the first show with Wolfgang on bass. It would go down as a night to remember.

Watch Tremonti and crew shake off the pre-show jitters in the tour bus, as they discuss what it feels like to be kicking off the tour. Learn what hot-cheeks are and how to cope with them. And what is Garrett even drinking? Is that Pedialyte? Drummers need to stay hydrated.

In an ultra-rare glimpse, check out Mark talking with Ernie and the band as he gets ready to take the stage. Watch what happens in the early moments of a gig before taking the stage. What you see may surprise you...




Tremonti released their debut album, All I Was, this past July.
