GUNS N' ROSES UNAUTHORIZED "NOVEMBER RAIN IN PARADISE CITY" DVD NEXT MONTH
Locomotive has set a March 13 release date for "November Rain in Paradise City", an unauthorized biographical documentary DVD of GUNS N' ROSES.
The "November Rain in Paradise City" DVD chronicles the rise, fall and rise of L.A.'s most controversial band, GUNS N' ROSES. Many saw them as the band that rescued hard rock from its 1988 doldrums. Singer Axl Rose was seen as the second coming of Jim Morrison due to his habit of making his audiences believe anything could happen when he was on stage. Although they never again reclaimed that mantle past their debut, the band had a strong run for the first few years of the 1990s.
Having sold an estimated 90 million albums worldwide, Guns‘n‘Roses rate among America's most successful hard rock bands. The band's musical style, onstage presence, and image helped usher in a new era within the dominant hard rock and heavy metal scene of the 1980s. While glam metal was the leading genre in record sales, video charts, and radio airplay, Guns N' Roses offered a grittier, more traditionalist take on rock music, which helped to popularize the sub-genre known as sleaze rock and won many fans who admired their apparent authenticity.
The band enjoyed worldwide success from 1987 through 1993, but clashing personalities of different band menbers brought about the end of the original line-up.
The unauthorized biography " November Rain In Paradise City“ is packed with interviews, new "insider“ revelations of the band, and behind-the-scenes footage which tells the whole story of Guns‘n‘Roses, from the beginning, to the end!
CELTIC FROST TO PERFORM "LIMITED-DURATION SPECIAL GUEST SET" ON TYPE O NEGATIVE TOUR
Seminal avant-garde metal pioneers CELTIC FROST have revealed that they will play a "limited-duration special guest set of 45 minutes" on their upcoming North American tour with TYPE O NEGATIVE. "In spite of the limited playing time, the band believes that this presents an important opportunity to play for the U.S. audiences again and expand upon the foundation built in the course of last fall's successful 46-date tour of North America," CELTIC FROST writes in a press release.
Due to the preceding co-headliner tour with KREATOR in Europe which will conclude on April 5, 2007, in Hamburg, CELTIC FROST will not be able to play all dates with TYPE O NEGATIVE. Immediately after the final show of the European tour, however, the group will fly to the United States to join TYPE O NEGATIVE for the first time on April 9, 2007, in Chicago and remain with the tour until its conclusion on May 8, 2007, in Baltimore, MD.
LOCOMOTIVE RECORDS TO RE-RELEASE TANKARD, HEAVENLY, HOLY MOSES ON MARCH 13TH
Locomotive Records will spill beer (re-releasing TANKARD's 2000 release Kings Of Beer on March 13th), transmit a virus (by releasing HEAVENLY's all-new second album, Virus, on March 13th), ultimately resulting in World Chaos on March 13th (a re-release of the 1990 HOLY MOSES album). Never has the metal community gone through so much drama in one day.
Germany's Tankard doesn't mess around. They're slobs and they know it. They revel in it. They're proud of it. They're also one hell of a valid thrash band and the reissue of Kings Of Beer from 2000 proves it.
With their second album, Virus, France's Heavenly stakes it's claim to Power Metal validity. Influenced by GAMMA RAY as much as HELLOWEEN, Heavenly, on its sophomore effort, proves its metal mettle.
One of the best thrash albums of 1990 had to be World Chaos from Sabina and her crew of headbanging monster-musicians, known collectively as Holy Moses. They had already been around for 10 years at that point. This was the album that changed their career. World Chaos defined the sound for which Holy Moses was to become famous for.
