Witness ACCEPT's Chicago Performance in Fall 2025 North American Tour
YouTube's Rockin Rick Belanger channel showcases ACCEPT's November 13th concert at Chicago's House Of Blues, supporting QUEENSRŸCHE. The video features the band's energetic performance, with a special mention of their recent lineup changes.
ACCEPT recently parted ways with guitarist Uwe Lulis, who joined the band a decade ago. The decision was made due to logistical challenges, with no personal or musical disagreements. The band expressed gratitude for Uwe's contributions and wished him well in his future endeavors.
The band's 2021 album, 'Too Mean To Die', featured a third guitarist, Philip Shouse, who joined permanently after initially filling in for Lulis. ACCEPT's longtime producer, Andy Sneap, won't be involved in their 50th-anniversary album due to personal requests. Instead, Zeuss [Chris Harris] will take the reins, having previously worked with renowned artists like ROB ZOMBIE and QUEENSRŸCHE.
ACCEPT's impact on heavy metal is undeniable. With millions of albums sold and a legacy of energetic live performances, they've inspired countless musicians. Their iconic albums, such as 'Balls To The Wall' and 'Metal Heart', have left an indelible mark on the genre. Guitarist Wolf Hoffmann's style and vision have solidified the band's reputation as one of the most respected in heavy metal.
ACCEPT's reunion with Mark Tornillo in 2009 marked a new era of success. Tornillo, the longest-reigning frontman, has been a key part of the band's chart-topping albums. His partnership with Hoffmann has earned them a place in the Metal Hall Of Fame, solidifying ACCEPT's status as a guarantee of high-quality music for decades.
