Hi Vicki.
I think the lack of promotional appearances is due to the present tour.
I would imagine that Meat would be too busy the day of a show,and the last thing he would want to do the day after is an interview or in store signing,and when it comes to the TV shows like Leno or Letterman it's pretty much being in town at the right time.When he's on the road Meat simply can't do it.
Also,Meat has embarked on a long world tour with two new band members.I don't think it's ever easy to intergrate one new band member,but to intergrate two,when you've had recent health problems,and are begining such a masive tour must be very hard

.
From what i've heard the band is in great shape.Very tight

.They've had rehearsal time,but you never know just how something will work out until you just get out there do it.I imagine that they will be trying different ideas out (and experementing with some of the older tracks Meat wants to bring back) during any free time they have and during sound checks.
It's a shame that the albums promo might suffer a setback,but I think the resulting shows will make it well worth while.
