Next month we will be getting an album of new material from Snakecharmer (that’s also the album’s name), a band made up of some former Whitesnake members (Micky Moody & Neil Murray), as well as a Black Sabbath connection (Neil again, and Adam Wakeman). I should have some more promotional material available shortly, but […]
Deep Purple Playlist
December 26, 2012 by 21 Comments
I had a request or two to post my playlist for Deep Purple. As it has been known, I tend to want to do these things the RIGHT WAY, which means to cover all eras and all albums. My Deep Purple list is similar to the list I did for Ronnie James Dio’s career here […]
Tony’s Book in Paperback
December 10, 2012 by 6 Comments
A year ago (give or take) Tony Iommi’s autobiography came out. I wrote about it a bunch, even had a reporter on side for one of the US Book signings (seems funny to say I have a reporter – haha). You can read all of that here. As with most books, some time down […]
An Angel is Missing – A Dio Career Retrospective
November 30, 2012 by 43 Comments
If you’ve been following me for awhile (and especially on Twitter), you’ll know I like to post playlists.

However, this afternoon when I was thinking about Ronnie James Dio, I […]

Southern Cross Concert Review – Bergen Norway
November 10, 2012 by 5 Comments
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 11 Comments
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 […]
