Now Playing: Dream Theater-The Number Of The Beast

What's up fanatics!!

Just a quick note to let you know how ATR is doing.  The record is really taking off and the response worldwide has been amazing!  I'd say 90% positive with people really getting into the band and seeing us for the kickass rock band that we are.  I've done over 150 interviews for the record and they just keep on coming...the more people wanna talk, the more I'm gonna talk, so bring em on!

  Enemy is receiving airplay on over 45 stations across the US and Nameless Faceless is number 4 on the charts at XM Radio.  The video for Enemy is on MTV and is the second most downloaded vid on ifilm.com.  We just finished a sold out tour of the UK and are ready to head back in May.   The tour was AMAZING and the UK fans were absolutely crazy!  The shows were the best we've ever done with the Mean Fiddler in London and the Krazyhouse in Liverpool standing out.

  Just so there's no confusion, the May 7 show at the Astoria in London, is the ONLY gig in England on the tour.  So don't miss out...if you live close come down to the Astoria and be a part of Fozzy history by being a part of Fozzy's biggest headling show EVER!!!  We need you there...if the show does good, then we are on our way to being huge in the UK...

  As far as other shows, there's some big live news upcoming for our west coast fans and we're working on more touring in Europe as well as our first tours of Australia and Japan.  ATR is really taking off in Aussieland as well so thanks to our Fozzy fanatics down under...wait until Fozzy assaults Aussie very soon!

  Also, ATR was just released in Canada, with Indonesia, Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and the Phillipines to follow.  We're also working on me hosting Loud for Much Music, which I could add to my hosting of the Headbanger's Ball a few weeks ago on MTV2.

  Also, most of the distribution problems have been worked out.  ATR is everywhere in the shops now, so if you've been waiting to find it...go get it!!!!  This week's Soundscans were our highest yet, so people are finding it, buying it and ENJOYING it!  Remember, NO DOWNLOADING!!!

  Also thanks for the exposure given to us by the WWE for using Enemy as the theme for the No Way Out PPV....more people heard Fozzy for the first time than ever and it's paying off!

  Well that is it for now, but keep spreading the Fozzpel and we'll see you soon!
