Dubbed “an evening of stories from 30 years of metal, wrestling…and drinking!” the event will see Ian and Jericho delivering “a no-holds-barred question-and-answer session [where] absolutely nothing will be off limits.”

Commented Ian: “This is something I’ve wanted to do for a very long time. I’ve been travelling the world in the company of and hanging out with the greatest people on the planet for 31 years and I’ve got to tales to tell.”

Jericho is one of the greatest showmen of the modern era, and Melbourne and Sydney fans will get to hear first-hand uncensored tales from the roads travelled as both WWE champion and with FOZZY.

Tickets are strictly limited and available from tomorrow (Tuesday, Febraury 12) at 9 a.m. AEDT.

SHINEDOWN and FOZZY are taking part in this summer’s edition of the Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival.

SHINEDOWN‘s new album, “Amaryllis” debuted atop Billboard‘s “Rock Albums” chart and at #4 overall on The Billboard 200 — SHINEDOWN‘s biggest chart debut thus far — with over 105,000 units sold its first week out.

FOZZY: Video Interview With CHRIS JERICHO

Frankie DiVita, radio personality at Southern California’s 96.7 KCAL Rocks, conducted an interview with FOZZY frontman and WWE wrestling superstar Chris Jericho on the red carpet of the fourth annual Revolver Golden Gods awards, which was held on April 11 at Club Nokia in downtown Los Angeles, California. You can now watch the chat below.

FOZZY is continuing work on the follow-up to 2010’s “Chasing The Grail”, tentatively due before the end of year via the group’s new label, Century Media Records.

In a recent posting on his Facebook page, FOZZY guitarist Rich Ward stated about the band’s new material, “Based on the songs and the early demos, my gut feeling is that when this album is completed, it will be the best overall album that I have been a part of.”

FOZZY last year parted ways with bassist Sean Delson and replaced him with Paul DiLeo (ADRENALINE MOB).

FOZZY released the “Remains Alive & Chasing The Grail” two-CD set on July 18, 2011 via Edel‘s international rock label earMUSIC.

FOZZY was already on the map as the band with the pro wrestler singer, but “Chasing The Grail” broke them as a proper band. It hit #6 on the U.S. Heatseekers charts and the single “Martyr No More” was a theme song for the WWE Royal Rumble. “Remains Alive” is a 2005 live album (recorded in Australia) that was previously available in digital format only.

“Chasing The Grail” sold around 2,200 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD landed at position No. 6 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart, which lists the best-selling albums by new and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.
