Supporting tour
The Eat the heat tour consisted of David Reece on vocals, Wolf Hoffman on lead guitar, Peter Baltes on bass, Stefen Kaufmann on drums, and Jim Stacey on supporting guitar. The tour was overall a disappointment, with poor attendance numbers, and small club concerts. After touring the U.S., Accept traveled to Europe for a short tour, while Kaufmann was injured with a back injury, and was replaced with drummer Ken Mary. The tour ended with a rumored fight between Reece and Baltes, and the tour was cancelled.Track listing
