Reunion rumors?

Hi Ron, Can you shed any light on this?

The direct link to it:

"We have it on good authority that Keel is reuniting with all original members. They've scheduled a photo shoot with Neil Zlowzower and are in talks with Whitesnake about a Japanese tour. There are also tenative plans for US tour dates in 2007."

As I've said before, if and when any news - especially news of this magnitude - is ready to be made public, the first place you'll see it is RIGHT HERE and at http://ronkeel.com

As with many rumors, there are trickles of truth. I can tell you, if and when we do it, we're going to do it right.

I want this to happen as bad, or worse, than anyone. I'd love to get back in front of Zloz's camera again with my old bandmates, and get on a plane bound for a sold-out tour of Japan with Whitesnake. Walk on stage screaming the first verse of "Back To The City". COUNT ME IN.

I have heard that various websites such as the one you pointed out, and others, have announced the same thing and attributed the leak to 'Ron Keel's management'. I can assure you this is not true - my interviews are well-documented all over the Net, and I, nor anyone from Team RK, have ever made such an announcement. I think it's tacky to say we're "talking with Whitesnake" or anybody else. I talk to a LOT of people in this business, but talk is cheap - when a tour or a show is confirmed, the first thing I do is get on line and make the announcements.

Bottom line: we're working on it. Don't get your hopes up, it's a crazy business, but if we can do it, and do it right, we will - and I will be right here letting my People know about it.

By all means don't do this...unless you include a Houston date. I would hate for this to happen and me not able to see it. I was fortunate enough to to see Keel with EZO in 1987 and it was the absolute best club show before or since.

KEEL AND EZO??? I officially envy you!! Of course I am fortunate to have seen KEEL in '86 with Quiet Riot in Pittsburgh...I don't even remember Quiet Riot's show because KEEL was THAT much better !!!! I wonder if may have to do with a certain frontman we all know...Hmmm?:P
