ANTHRAX guitarist Scott Ian and FOZZY frontman and WWE wrestling superstar Chris Jericho will team up for two nights of spoken word in Australia at the end of February. 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.
Century Media Records has issued that FOZZY are returning to Europe in April for another run of UK dates as well as additional dates on the mainland. This time it will be co-headlining with Drowning Pool:
Chris Jericho (vocals): “After our highly successful co-headlining European tour with Soil last winter, we decided we couldn’t wait until August to come back. So we started looking for that special band that we could join forces with to have an even more successful tour… Drowning Pool is that band! Now we can’t wait to tear the heads off of both our fans and theirs and create a giant pool of Drowning FOZZY lunatics! See you soon!”
Following their co-headlining tour with Soil that packed clubs in November and December of 2012 it is their second European tour supporting the release of their latest album “Sin And Bones” that was well received by press. Metal Hammer (UK) about the album: “‘Sin And Bones’ is impressive, diverse and mature… this is a masterclass that should take FOZZY on to bigger things.” while Metal Hammer (D) said: “Once more FOZZY are right in the middle between Metal and Hard Rock, powered by Wards catchy guitar work and massive choruses.” and Classic Rock (D) decided: “Jericho and his musicians are rocking out straight forward, serve one hookline after the other and know exactly how to come up with a catchy melody.”
