...Ace Frehley won’t be part of the upcoming KISS / AEROSMITH tour (Tommy Thayer is stepping into the Spaceman's boots) , but don’t think Ace is just resting on his laurels. The influential guitarist is working on his seventh solo album and says, "I love my fans, and so there is no confusion, I took 'The Farewell Tour' for what it was billed as. We had a great final leg in Australia and, as far as I was concerned, my career with KISS was over. It was called 'The Farewell Tour' and that's what I was told it was. When I returned from Australia, I did what any person whose job just ended would do ... I started planning for the future. I bought a beautiful 7½ acre estate, built an extravagant multimedia recording studio and decided to jump start my solo career by recording my seventh solo album. I'm very excited for me and my fans and what lies ahead. Make no mistake about it, I will kick your ass. Rock on!"...

...IRON MAIDEN have released the following announcement regarding
"Dance of Death," the upcoming tour in support of the new CD and the future of their live shows.
The latest tour dates can be found by clicking
here...
"...the DANCE OF DEATH WORLD TOUR will herald a major change in how the band tour in the future as this will be the last long arena tour the band will undertake. The band will certainly continue recording and touring for years to come but as manager Rod Smallwood says
'We want to explain this carefully and at length to our amazing fans so there is no confusion and because they deserve a full explanation. After Spring 2004 the band will not go out on the road for up to nine months touring with an album as we have up to now. As a progression from the scheduling around the
"Give Me Ed" and "Dance of Death" tours we will further break the album / tour cycle. Recording will be mainly in the winter (then releasing the album when it is ready and appropriate) and touring in the Summer. We really enjoy the festivals and outdoor shows where Maiden fans congregate in numbers. There is a real atmosphere of community and this is something which really lifts the band. Following the U.S
"Give Me Ed…" dates this summer, we will announce a short major city arena run in America for early next year. Extensive arena tours will then be a thing of the past. We know we have fans in many parts of the World who wish to see the band and we will try to spread out the shows as fairly as possible. Although tours will be shorter, we could in fact be playing live more regularly, which is something the band also like the idea of.
'We are announcing this up front to be fair to fans who live in the US cities we may not play in again
- many of which are represented on this upcoming tour. We hope the fans understand, and perhaps can come to see us somewhere else in future. It is our hope that if the band do pass through your city you will get the chance to see them perform an amazing Maiden gig. Since l started managing Maiden in 1979 we have played over 1700 gigs in many, many parts of the World. We have tried to play live to as many of you as we could over the years and know that many of you have traveled huge distances to come and see the shows. Although we would expect to return to all the countries we play at some point, we hope more of you will try to join us somewhere and enjoy the camaraderie of the Maiden traveling
gang!!!'

...The prayers of metalheads the world 'round have been answered! The PRIEST is back. Check out the following press release issued today by JUDAS PRIEST:
ROB HALFORD REUNITES WITH JUDAS
PRIEST
WORLD TOUR COMING IN 2004
SEVERAL PROJECTS ARE IN THE PLANNING STAGES
After more than 12 years apart Judas Priest and original lead vocalist Rob
Halford have reunited for a global live concert tour in 2004. The definitive
Judas Priest lineup of Rob Halford, lead guitarist Glenn Tipton, lead guitarist
K.K. Downing, bassist Ian Hill and drummer Scott Travis are back.
The original band members have been re-establishing their personal and
professional relationships since 1999 along the way sparking hundreds of reunion
rumors.
Several exciting projects, in addition to the 2004 world tour, are in the early
planning stages.
The long-awaited reunion of Judas Priest and Halford will thrill fans around the
globe, and once again provide them with the opportunity to see and hear the band
that defined Heavy Metal as we know it today.
Judas Priest rose from the gritty, working-class steel town of Birmingham,
England, and became one of the biggest bands in the world. Judas Priest are
considered the groundbreaking inventors of true Heavy Metal music. From their
debut release 'Rocka Rolla' through monumental albums such as 'Sad Wings of
Destiny,' ''Sin After Sin,' 'Stained Class,' 'Hell Bent For Leather,' 'Unleashed
in the East,' 'British Steel,' 'Screaming for Vengeance,' 'Defenders of the
Faith' and 'Painkiller,' titanic songs like "Victim of Changes,"
"Sinner," "Exciter," "Hell Bent for Leather,"
"Living After Midnight," "Breaking the Law" and "You've
Got Another Thing Comin' '' were born. Judas Priest defines and epitomizes both
sonically and visually the Heavy Metal genre.
Next year's reunion tour will also celebrate the band's 30th anniversary.
Judas Priest and Ripper Owens, who replaced Halford, have parted amicably by
mutual agreement. The band is very grateful for Ripper's work in helping
them to continue to bring Judas Priest's music to their millions of fans and
they expect big things for him in the future.
Updates will be posted regularly at www.judaspriest.com.

...CIRCLE TO CIRCLE, featuring former SAVATAGE vocalist Zak Stevens, will release their debut album, "Watching in Silence," on July 22nd. Says Zak, "Going in to this record, I knew from the beginning that there are going to be people that say 'Hey, that sounds like Savatage'. Well of course it's going to sound like Savatage, I'd been with the band for almost a decade. There's no way around it. I wanted to write the kind of songs that I enjoy doing, so a lot of it is in a similar style to Savatage. I said from the start, 'don't worry about comparisons; we're going to get them anyway. Don't let that stop us from making the best music we can and writing the songs that we love to play.' Moving forward, our evolution will definitely move away from that." The band has also announced tour dates. Click here to find 'em or click here for more information: www.circle2circle.net...
