Kelle Rhoads will be playing keyboards and will have a solo spot in the show that will showcase the composing he has been doing for a number of years. "He told me he was going to get up there and play classical music. At first I was skeptical, I mean, the rest of the show was heavy metal. I thought people would walk out. Boy! Was I wrong.
