Stone Sour Announces Johnny Chow Joining as Touring Bassist

Stone Sour guitarist Josh Rand recently announced on the band’s Facebook page that Cavalera Conspiracy bassist Johny Chow will be joining them on their upcoming tour.

“I am pleased to announce that Johny Chow will be playing bass guitar with Stone Sour on the House of Gold and Bones Parts 1 & 2 tour cycle,” Rand said. “Johny is a fantastic player and a long-time friend of the band. We are all excited to have him be part of what will be our most exciting and ambitious album cycle yet.”

The tour is in support of Stone Sour’s double album, House of Gold & Bones, which featured Skid Row bassist Rachel Bolan. Bolan was unable to tour with the group due to Skid Row’s schedule.

Stone Sour’s House of Gold & Bones Part 1 is due out next week. Part 2 will be released sometime in 2013. Check out the Stone Sour website for tour dates.
