 Heaven and Hell on tour
Classic Sabbath fans are looking forward to the upcoming Heaven and Hell tour, traditional Sabbath featuring vocalist Ronnie James Dio:
Metal Radio DJ Eddie Trunk (www.eddietrunk.com) had the following to say in a recent interview on classicrockrevisited.com.
"It's going to be a great tour, no doubt. These guys are all such legends and they still play and sing great. I'm in the minority because I think they should do a few Ozzy-era tunes, but either way it will crush no doubt. I really think Tony and Geezer are looking forward to doing a long set, and all due respect to Ozzy, but with Dio vocals will not be an issue. It's also a great bill with DOWN and MEGADETH on board." Be sure to check for Heaven and Hell in a city near you.
Guns N Roses Tour "Behind the Scenes"
 Thanks to some very special friends in the metal world- we had the opportunity to hit two Guns N Roses shows on the latest tour with supporting acts Sebastian Bach and the Suicide Girls. For those of you who missed the most recent Guns tour- we suggest you hit the show next time they come blazing through town. Bolstered by a full stage production and a new full band, the Gunners and Axl sound as good as ever. While they most likely won't hit the stage until after midnight, they will not disappoint. You will hear every song like you remembered back in the day, pro all the way! Also not to be missed is Sebastian Bach with his new metal fueled band featuring Metal Mike and Bobby Jarzombek on drums. Both Metal Mike and Bobby give Sebastian a much needed injection of intensity and metal fire power. ĘBaz fans cannot wait for the new release called Angel Down. Check here for Guns updates www.gunsnroses.com and check here for updates for Sebastian Bach www.sebastianbach.com. The backstage antics that occurred both nights will be left with the simple explanation- what happens at a Guns show, stay's at the Guns show! The Suicide girls certainly added to the chaos.
 Children of Bodom
Chaos Ridden Years DVD
Metal fans will love the new COB Chaos ridden years DVD! Well produced, great camera angles, great song selection. The energy of a live Children of Bodom show is captured as well as it can be. Great guitar solos and even a great keyboard solo (which one would usually say doesn't belong in metal music, but COB finds a way to incorporate them well into the bands sound). Simply a great release and will help you appreciate the power of Children of Bodom! They are rising to become one of metal finest acts. Check here for details http://www.cobhc.com/
