Most of the European leg was supported by Voodoo Six the London-based UK rock band formed by former Dirty Deeds bass player and producer Tony Newton, and The Duvals, with Hot Leg and The Duvals supporting on all UK dates.
Various covers were played during the tour including Led Zeppelin's "Communication Breakdown", Queen's "Nevermore" and James Brown's "Mother Popcorn".
