News updates - RJ Dio's wife Wendy has stated that he's doing fine and that he has been faithfully following his treatment plan - Heaven and Hell have started booking summer dates in Europe again so, it appears that he's going to be okay, at least in the interim.
Sadly, Kari Leigh Tucker - Ms. Box of Junk from VH1s "That Metal Show" died unexpectedly on 9 Dec 2009 at the age of 27. Sources say she was found in her apartment in Cleveland, OH. While no official word of cause of death was released, her family immediately sat on the "respect the family privacy" statement and quickly interred the body at a grave site in her home state of Tennessee; so the details point to "other than" natural causes of which the family were aware.
Also, "former" KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick is releasing a new album - however, guest musicians include, Eric Singer (KISS drummer), Gene Simmons (Duh), and Nick Simmons (Gene's son), so I am not so sure about the "former" statement on the press release. It may just be a way for Gene/Paul to interfere with Ace's new release, which is a pretty low blow if it has any merit. (pure professional conjecture on my part)
Think that covers the latest news. Having to post from the wife's laptop since my box is down, which will limit me writing articles for a while, but since they are pretty sporadic anyway....
Keep banging, thrashing and bashing and always be hard... and heavy!
