Over the weekend, I ran a contest where I was giving away a whole slew of prizes. Over the years I’ve run this site, I’ve gotten friendly with several folks at various record labels, and to that, they send me things to use as giveaways for prizes. However, from time to time, the giveaways […]

Southern Cross Concert Review – Bergen Norway
November 10, 2012 by
Here’s something special. Most of you know of the Dio Disciples band, carrying on the legacy of Ronnie James Dio. Heck, I wrote about their concert last Sunday night. However, they’re not the only band out there doing that right now. Earlier this year, I wrote about “The Southern Cross“, a band that’s […]
Dio Disciples Concert Review – Nov 4, 2012
November 7, 2012 by
On Sunday night, November 4th, I went to see the Dio Disciples band in Dallas. It was in a really small club named Trees. I say small, because it’s really the kind of place that’s meant for local bands. I mean this was SMALL small. When I saw Black Sabbath on the Cross […]
Behind the Scenes of “The Shining” Video Shoot
November 4, 2012 by
A very interesting piece of video cropped up today in my inbox, I wanted to share it immediately. As you might remember, 1987 was a very turbulent year in the band’s history.

Read last night where Black Sabbath is supposed to announce 2013 tour dates for Australia. It’s been awhile since Sabbath has been there. A quick check of the official sites doesn’t show anything, but the news comes from Live Nation, the promoter down there, so it’s likely happening. Still, having said that, remember […]
Dio Pint Glasses Review
October 4, 2012 by
A few weeks ago I was contacted by Gene Kirkland, a photographer by trade about a new project he was involved in. It’s his new “Rock & Roll By the Pint” series of glasses. At first, I thought “eh”, it’s just a glass. But then when he said he’d send me a couple, I […]
The Very Beast of Dio Volume 2 Review

Ronnie James Dio has been gone just about two and a half years now. His last proper full album of material was the Heaven & Hell Black Sabbath album, “The Devil You Know” in 2009. The last proper studio album of Dio Band material was 2004’s “Master of the Moon“. In that […]

September 24, 2012 by
The Volume 4 album is 40 years old today (depending on what time you read this). It was released September 25, 1972. Totally killer, really heavy album. Check out my site’s discography page for info on the album, and ordering links if you don’t own it (in which case, why the hell are you […]
