Well, as the description on the video says, this is what happens when 'that guy' goes to a Heaven and Hell autograph signing.
You can see how uncomfortable (and also somewhat concerned) both Dio and Iommi are as this dude approaches the table... Let me just say this: When you scare Ronnie James Dio, you've accomplished something, lol.
Check it out:
Moral of the story: Don't be 'that guy'. Not now. Not ever.
Ok, I know I haven't updated in a while, but this one will be worth the wait. :) First up - Local Rock is BACK at WIOT.COM:
Glad to say that for the first time since Sledge's Homegrown Stash, local rock is back at WIOT, and here on the web at WIOT.COM. Click HERE to check it out and to submit your music. Already some great bands up - The Elements, Mobile Deathcamp, and a ton more... Which only leaves me with one question: Why isnt your band online at WIOT.COM?
New Music from Korn:
There is a new one- minute teaser out for their forthcoming video - The guys have been working on a new album with the band's original producer Ross Robinson. Singer Jonathan Davis told The Pulse of Radio that the group intends to get back to the sound of its early CDs. "It's gonna be very raw, it's gonna be old school like the first KORN records," he said. "Basically, it's gonna be recorded as a four-piece band, with just Munky on guitars and Fieldy [bass] and Ray [Luzier; drums] and me. We really want to go back to that old-school vibe. It was just really intense and emotional and, you know, I have a lot of built-up aggression toward certain things that I need to get out for this record."
Ozzy Osbourne has revealed to Classic Rock magazine that he is currently searching for a new guitarist for his solo band.
Classic Rock caught up with Osbourne last week at the Slash & Friends gig in Norway, where the whispers backstage had guitarist John 5 (ROB ZOMBIE, ex-MARILYN MANSON) lined up as a possible replacement for Zakk Wylde…
"Well, I'm getting a new guitar player as we speak," Ozzy told Classic Rock, "and everyone has been saying to me for a long time, 'Get Johnny 5!' And I tried him at one time and I didn't really give him a chance. We'll see, I don't know. I haven't fallen out with Zakk, but Zakk's got his own band, and I felt like my stuff was beginning to sound like BLACK LABEL SOCIETY. I just felt like I wanted a change, y'know?
"I've got a guy from Greece coming in — not the musical, the country of Greece — but I'm not going to say too much about it, 'cos I don't know myself at this point. I've got a new album, I'm working on it as we speak... t's great to have your own studio. On one hand it's great and on the other it's not, 'cos when you're at the studio you can go, 'Sorry darling, I can't get home for dinner, I'm stuck at the studio…' But she can f***ing come down stairs now! But I'm just enjoying my life now…"
Classic Rock: So you're taking it easy recording this album?
Ozzy: "Oh yeah. Zakk came down and did a bunch of stuff and I don't know if I want to use it but I've got it there if I do. And this Kevin Churko is a bit of an all-rounder so I'm getting back to basics in some respects. One thing about a guy who can't do all the finger-tapping stuff is that he plays better on the riffs 'cos it's not all [hums riff for 'Iron Man' followed by over-the-top widdling]."
Classic Rock: Does HEAVEN & HELL having a new album out make you more competitive?
Ozzy: "No. Not in the slightest. I really wish them well. I mean I've been out of that band three times longer than I was ever in them. But people say, 'What do you think about Dio?' He's great singer. I've grown up since the days when I used to get pissed and slag him off. For whatever it's worth, good luck to them. I don't want to make enemies — I made enough when I was drinking, I try to make friends with people these days!"

And last but not least... One way to beat the summer heat:
"Burton C. Bell and ex-guitarist Dino Cazares recently announced the reconciliation of their friendship, and the formation of a new project with Byron Stroud on bass and drummer Gene Hoglan (Death, Strapping Young Lad). On April 28th, this project was revealed to actually be a new version of Fear Factory, minus Herrera and Wolbers. Bell, when asked why Herrera and Wolbers were not included, stated that "[Fear Factory]'s like a business and I'm just reorganizing...We won't talk about [their exclusion]"
Ok... while it sucks that Christian and Raymond are no longer part of Fear Factory, but... Gene Hoglan??? Are you FREAKING kidding me? The new FF is going to be AWESOME.
